Rounding the Earth #7 - Super Magnet Man George Mizzell asks technical questions about Bitcoin

Engineer and "Super Magnet Man" George Mizzell teaches principles of magnetism at his own YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/SuperMagnetMan

George Mizzell joins the podcast looking to upgrade his knowledge of Bitcoin while consider whether it is the right investment for a retired engineer who has done well managing his own investments.

Topics in the discussion include the basics of Bitcoin protocols, mining, hashing algorithms, cryptographic security, forked networks/coins, game theoretic network protection, Gresham's law, Metcalf's law, and more.

Thank you, George, for a wonderful set of questions and perspectives.
