In this episode of DemystifySci, we peer into the very separate roots of banking and blockchain finance to find what's alive beneath the myth. Bitcoin guru and amateur mycologist, Brandon Quittem, joins us to trace the fall of old empires and the rise of a new code-born freedom. The conversation drifts between history and possibility, where gold becomes data and control slips through the fingers of the elite. What remains is a question: can money succeed without those who steer its value?PATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-showHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-here00:00 Go! 00:04:26 The Genesis of Bitcoin and the Cipherpunks 00:08:54 The Fear of Government Control and Digital Currency 00:10:41 The Failure of Early Digital Currency Attempts 00:17:54 The Collapse of the Gold Standard 00:19:56 The Nature of Trust in Currency 00:20:54 Discussion of Properties of Money 00:25:31 Critique of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) 00:29:52 The Risks of Unchecked Debt 00:33:31 Introduction of Bitcoin as a Solution 00:39:00 Understanding Bitcoin's Structure and Security 00:41:58 The Origin of Bitcoin Ideas 00:46:49 Understanding Blockchain and Mining 00:53:06 The Mechanics of Block Creation 00:58:04 The Finite Nature of Bitcoin Mining 01:01:57 Miners' Revenue Streams 01:03:05 Genesis of Bitcoin Mining 01:05:00 Competition Among Miners 01:07:08 Future Perspectives on Bitcoin #bitcoinanalysis , #cryptocurrencies , #blockchaineducation ,#bitcoinmining , #cryptoanalysis , #cryptotradingforbegineers , #digitalcurrency , #moneymanagement , #fintech , #investingtips , #economics , #monetarypolicy , #decentralization , #satoshinakamoto , #physicspodcast #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

Today, Colin and Matt talk about two massive hyperscaler deals that have upped the expectations for AI-pivots. Cipher Mining just secured a $5.5B, 15-year lease with Amazon Web Services for 300MW at their Bear Lake facility, while IREN signed a $9.7B, 5-year deal with Microsoft for 200MW in Texas. We also cover highlights from public miner Q3 earnings that have trickled through so far, a bitcoin miner lawsuit that involves OpenAI, and why Warren Buffett's Pacific Power's loss with Amazon is a win for bitcoin miners. Plus: Will China win the AI race? Nvidia's CEO thinks yes. Notes: • AI runway better than mining for miners • IREN Microsoft deal is a win for powershell model thesis • AI business lines give miners better access to capital • Miners with exposure but no deals on the table could offer interesting opportunities • Mining in the U.S. not done yet • Cipher signs $5.5B AWS deal for 300MW facility • IREN inks $9.7B Microsoft cloud compute agreement • Hash price crashes to $40 per petahash per day • Bitcoin retraced from $126K to $101K support • Cipher announces 1GW data center JV project • Pacific Power fails to deliver Amazon capacity Timestamps: 00:00 Start 02:00 Difficulty Report by Luxor 05:05 Cipher Amazon deal 08:02 IREN Microsoft deal 13:56 Cleanspark Ad 14:25 Q3 earnings update 14:38 RIOT 14:54 MARA 15:34 HUT 8 16:08 CIPHER 18:23 CORZ workers comp lawsuit 21:08 China winning AI race?26:31 Cry Corner: Buffett can't MW

Kent Halliburton, co-founder and CEO of Saz Mining, discusses how his background in residential solar, software and computer engineering ultimately led him to bitcoin mining, why hydro which powers all four of Saz's sites (each on a different continent) is such an efficient underlying source of fuel, the role bitcoiners will naturally need to play in decentralizing mining away from fiat-minded businesses, and how the hosting model with individuals or principals directly owning miners is the best way to align economic incentives, despite challenges any individual hosting company might have had in the past.
