In this episode, Nik is joined by Robert Warren, author of The Bitcoin Miners Almanac and Head of Research and Education at Bitcoin Park. They discuss the evolution of Bitcoin mining from industrial operations to the new wave of home miners integrating mining into heating, water systems, and solar panels. Robert explains how open source R&D is reshaping hardware, why decentralizing ASIC design matters, and how energy innovation is making mining more efficient and resilient. The conversation also explores mining pools, payout models, censorship resistance, and the next chapter of Bitcoin’s energy infrastructure.
