Episode notes
A whole new Bitcoin mining market place just emerged, and it changes everything.
In this episode of the Once Bitten podcast, host Daniel Prince interviews Marcel, a software developer and Bitcoin enthusiast, about decentralising Bitcoin mining by renting hash power.
Marcel shares his journey into Bitcoin, starting with his initial exposure through Silk Road and a negative experience with Mt. Gox, which ultimately led him to a deeper understanding of Bitcoin's fundamentals. Marcel discusses his early adoption of Bitcoin, his involvement in the Bitcoin community in Barcelona, and his views on the spam and ordinal issues that have plagued the Bitcoin network.
