Troy Cross: Why the Future of Bitcoin Mining is Distributed

Troy Cross, Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Reed College, joins the Bitcoin Magazine Podcast to discuss "Why the Future of Bitcoin Mining is Distributed" -- his recent article for Bitcoin Magazine's "The Mining Issue".

Troy details centralization vectors in mining and makes the case that, despite economies of scale leading to mega mining operations, there is a critical and perhaps economic driver for decentralizing hashrate.

Whether that be geographic distribution or economic niche distribution, the future of Bitcoin hinges upon protecting its permissionless nature enabled by proof-of-work.
