## Resource

In this episode of Hosting Bitcoin, we sit down with Bob Burnett, technology pioneer, early leader in the personal computing revolution, and one of Bitcoin’s clearest voices on mining, incentive design, and what it takes to build resilient decentralized systems. Bob’s journey spans 40+ years across personal computing, hardware engineering, and now Bitcoin mining. From CTO at Gateway during its rise to a Fortune 200 company, to running one of the most principled mining operations today, Bob brings a rare long-term perspective on technology cycles, decentralization, and why Bitcoin is nowhere near “finished.” This conversation dives into the evolution of mining, the coming block-space markets, why energy will become the dominant constraint, and what the next decade of Bitcoin adoption really requires.
