In this video, I discuss the recent invalid block mined by Bitcoin mining company Marathon, and how the Bitcoin network handled the situation.

Fortunately, Satoshi designed Bitcoin with a division of powers between the Bitcoin miners who create new blocks and the Bitcoin nodes who verify and validate those new blocks to ensure that they are following the consensus rules.
