It's been a busy couple weeks with The Bitcoin Standard Conference, PlebFi in Austin and Bit Block Boom in Dallas, so this episode had a delayed release. Steve Barbour, Founder & CEO at Upstream Data. Inc. joined me for a shorter Podcast than I usually do, to discuss: - What came before Upstream - How’d you wind up in Mining? - Rockefeller - Monopolies & Natural Distributions. - What is Upstream - How can others do this? - Does it make sense for average plebs to mine? - What equipment? - Comments on things like Compass? - Regulation is not a threat to Bitcoin, it’s a threat to people who want Bitcoin - Regulation is an own goal, and in Bitcoin, the ultimate self-own by bureaucrats Follow Steve's work at: https://www.upstreamdata.ca https://sgbarbour.medium.com @SGBarbour @upstreamdatainc ____________________________________ Thanks again for listening.
