What kinds of energy does MARA utilize, & in what percentages?..

[@issenvan1050]

Do lower market-cap miners go up more, percentage-wise, during a BTC bull run?

Can you make episodes on HUT & CLSK?

[@issenvan1050]

Is there a royalty business in BTC mining?

[@issenvan1050]

How do you define “hash rate?”

[@issenvan1050]

Don’t the central planners play BTC against gold, to cap gold & silver prices?

You need to mine in Utopia ecosystem using a regular PC

[@issenvan1050]

Why did Kuwait ban crypto, then?

[@issenvan1050]

Why did HUT go down 12% in a day?

[@Dallasrebar]

Mara to the moon.

[@issenvan1050]

That was Marx’s idea, not Munger’s originally.

[@issenvan1050]

Why would gas plant owners be against BTC miners, again?
