Only Natalie and Michael Saylor could get these guys in a room together for a great interview! Thank you all!

[@sahithyaaappu]

Best one, whole internet about halving, yet no one did right thing which is to let the miners talk in a room.. Awesome work

[@AlexofCharmCity]

Agreed

[@Bee37351]

Right! This interview was right on point

[@PeeP_Gainz]

An enormous amount of information, investment opportunities and future development. Looking for the most, now

[@Habeev07]

We need to save the protocol though bc people are minting runes and other nonsense on the blockchain. Btc isn't your personal storage device. We need to stop all this spam and garbage cluttering up blocks. Mining is fd up right now. All the blocks since the having are being filled with useless code.

[@Bee37351]

Natalie this was a brilliant interview! Everyone is talking about the miner imapct of the halving and you decided to address that very question by going to the source . Amazing work as always 🎉

[@speaktruth8739]

Love how all these guys in a highly competitive industry can sit together and have a constructive discussion

[@JeDxDeVu]

They’re smart. It’s a time to hear what competition is thinking.

[@dimebagg1]

It’s not really that competitive . They all do their own thing.

[@whiteglove5723]

How did you manage to invite CEOs in one place? Wow amazing!

[@alex_pasquini]

Serious power move getting all these guys in a room together. Fantastic conversation. The most bullish part is just the fact there is this huge industry in the background, with smart people solving problems. It’s a great reminder that Bitcoin is so much more than the price on a chart.

[@DouglasHeyen]

Great interview! Appreciate you getting the miners perspective. I didn’t see many influencers get that done this time. Being my fourth halving the feeling is definitely trending to maturity. Lot less raves and parties this go around. Course we have 10+ years under our belt now. Thank you

[@MikeVictory]

Outstanding video Natalie! Your panel of mining companies was incredibly interesting...especially since I have a large interest in Marathon Digital.

[@thomasphillips2234]

this was a good video! i'm in my 70s and have been pecking away a little at a time at BTC.....I plan to use it soon.....and this helped me understand the rising fees....which will be an issue for someone like me.

[@rawr4444]

Hashrates humming high, Hodlers hold, hope hovers near, Halving, happy hearts.

[@johasteft]

What a great interview with an impressive lineup of panelists! It's really refreshing to see an interview where the interviewer/moderator is as much of an expert on crypto as the experts being interviewed! Kind of a stark contrast to legacy media journalists where they only have a little bit of surface knowledge and when probed they're pretty much clueless 😄

[@firewoodtime2]

Or they are lying pushing a narrative instead of finding truth.

How does this trading stuff work? I'm really interested but I just don't know how it go about it. I heard people really make it huge trading..

[@ivar766]

As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. I'm guided by Stacey Macken a widely known crypto consultant

[@AIIG-zd5dx]

I am surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon some of her clients testimonies on CNBC news last week..

[@nissan38p69]

What impresses me most about Stacey Macken is how well she explains basic concept of winning before actually letting you use her trade signals. This goes a long way to ensure winning trades.

[@robertgreg6009]

Her technical analysis is excellent and hid interpretation/projections of the market is so accurate I sometimes ask myself if she is human haha. Point is, Stacey is the perfect trader to follow for advise and daily signals.

[@findingpath8362]

Getting advice from financial advisors, like Stacey Macken , can be a smart move to reshape your portfolio. She has the expertise to help you make informed decisions.

[@kefren191919191]

great roundtable!

[@ardathwojteckitl]

As a newbie about to invest, you must have these four things in mind 1. Have a long term mindset. 2. Be willing to take risk. 3. Be careful on money usage, if you're not spending to earn back, then stop spending. 4. Never claim to know - Ask questions and it's best you work with a financial advise like Rolando Diaz..

surprisingly good.

Sponge V2 talkin' about the future, gotta see if they can back it up 🚀🔮

[@michaela.abbott222]

SMR's seems to be a great energy source for these businesses. Utilize rods that have outlived their lifespan within a nuclear power plant, but instead of having to store those lowered strength rods under mountains for years, stretch the use of them in SMR's.

[@Randomsitos]

Block Sailor's explosion is the dawn of a new era in finance!

[@user-um6gg3qh7j]

👍

[@VintageMichelle]

Would you rather take the rough $5k hit and move on or would you remain in the market with an open position in the hope of bitcoin going over $200k and risking your whole $65k based on your emotional belief?

[@Jorgesantos-or4sc]

Block Sailor Token's $10 milestone could mark a significant achievement. Let's monitor its progress.

[@the_giveback_realtor]

This was really great. I would love to pivot my career to work in the mining industry. Any recommendations on how to proceed. I want to be part of this movement.

[@greger589]

Before the halving BTC consumed as much energy as all of Sweden how much will it be now?

[@aaronsandoval6164]

Great information, but it seems like only some mics are working properly. It's distractling.

[@JimFry]

I'm wildly curious what NERC and FERC think about the miners' expectations regarding energy availability within the US.

When a CEO states BTC is the best investment ever, I sense a hawker trying to get me to enter their casino.

[@Abundnce10]

11:55 "There's not enough Bitcoin for every millionaire to own 1 Bitcoin. In the future there won't be enough for every billionaire to own 1 BTC." - Marathon CEO According to Forbes there are 2,668 billionaires in the world. I would never expect the Marathon CEO to make such an outrageous blunder! Not enough Bitcoin for every billionaire?! Hopefully, that was just the wrong choice of words.

[@pagexx]

All the production capability and you can’t a record a good audio?

[@Rlec021]

I just still can’t wrap my mind around how these mining businesses succeed long term. Maybe I’m just missing something. Didn’t the largest revenue out of all the mining companies come in at around $10 million last quarter?

[@usdiusdh]

If any of them is interested in building a mining site here in Madagascar, my team and I will be glad to handle the government licenses. We have significant potential in hydropower over here.

[@awallerfamily]

What happens to the world when energy gets cheaper? What if it ends up damn near free? It's possible. The tech exists. We do not use fossil fuels anywhere near the levels of efficiency that we can be using it. What happens to BTC adoption with energy being cheaper? What does mining look like? The world needs this. It's coming. This will be what changes mankind.

[@JimFry]

When was the last time your energy bill was reduced? I watch mine increase monthly. Perhaps your world differs from mine.

[@yehimstone5492]

​@JimFry bitcoin miners are increasingly using solar, wind geothermal, and other free energy sources. Free after equipment investment

[@awallerfamily]

My world is the same as yours. Energy prices are manipulated through the control of technology. THEY cannot maintain an ironclad grip forever on efficient energy production.

How are we going to onboard new users with little to no wealth if fees continue to quite literally make that impossible. How is this good for someone who can maybe allocate 20 USD worth of bitcoin each month?
