Today’s episode with Bob Burnett, the CEO of Barefoot Mining who has become a good friend and mentor to me was recorded several weeks ago but I still think there is a tremendous amount of signal in here as Bob always packs a punch. We talk about wars over hash rate, Bob’s most famous patent, the future of block space, how countries could possibly be sovereign in a bitcoin world and towards the end of our conversation we turn to some tough, hard topics like suicide, retirement, quality of life and true happiness.
