Is Bitcoin Mining Centralized? With Peter Todd

We headed down to Bitcoin ++ in Austin, Texas last week to discuss all things Bitcoin development, and it turns out mining is a big part of that!

We sat down with Peter Todd, a Bitcoin core developer with extensive work on decentralizing Bitcoin’s tech stack. We dig into pool centralization threats, the what and if of miner extractable value on Bitcoin and what he thinks of JPEGs on Bitcoin!

👉 Check out Bitcoin Season 2 and The Gwart Show.

👉 Watch our newest documentary, The Big Empty!
