Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, we have a two-for-one show with two interviews we recorded at the North American Blockchain Summit. To start, Colin interviews Blue Macellari (Head of Digital Assets at T. Rowe Price) on how institutional adoption is fundamentally changing Bitcoin's market structure, the debasement trade narrative going mainstream, and why fast money hasn't arrived yet this cycle. Then, Will hops on the horn with  Dale Nally (Minister of Red Tape Reduction in Alberta) to discuss Alberta's competitive advantages for Bitcoin mining and a concierge program for large miners.

**Notes:**

• BlackRock's IBIT reached $70B+ AUM, top 20 ETF

• ETF holders parking Bitcoin for decades

• Basis trade tied to futures market growth

• T. Rowe Price sees institutions changing cycles

• Alberta cut 35% of red tape, saved $3B

• Alberta has 200-year natural gas supply
