Kent Halliburton β€” CEO and co-founder of Sazmining β€” makes a claim that should bother everyone who only buys their Bitcoin: mining isn't just how Bitcoin gets made, it's a decentralized money printer anyone can run. He calls it hash punk. We get into why you get better Bitcoin when you mine it, his arc from solar to hosted mining, and the bigger thesis β€” Bitcoin isn't one zero-to-one innovation, it's two. This is Bitcoin against the machine.
