To start, the trio dives into this week’s Mining Pod newsletter to discuss revival of the ASIC miner market. Then, they provide an update on incipient restrictions of Bitcoin mining in Russia in areas with power shortages. They also cover a novel story onHicorp tapping the largest gas reserve in the US with a bitcoin mining pilot in Alaska, yet more news on AI-pivots from bitcoin miners, and the $4.6 billion in open shorts against Bitcoin miners. Finally, for this week’s cry corner, Bitcoin and crypto professionals, pedestrians, and obsessives rejoice at the resignation of Gary Gensler.
