https://www.whatbitcoindid.com/podcast/bitcoin-adoption-the-halving-mining

“All of the different sub communities in Bitcoin are really starting to ask themselves and the other sub communities ‘why are you here? Are we sacrificing everything for number-go-up?’ Well number-go-up is kind of the whole thing if you want actual outsized influence over the system that is leaving everyone scrambling for anything.”
— Colin Harper

Colin Harper is Head of Research and Content at Luxor Technology. In this interview, we discuss Bitcoin adoption, media FUD, the impact of the halving on miners and we look back at the mining industry in 2023.
