“It’s not a game, Bitcoin is life and death for billions of people and there is no one in Venezuela that’s excited about cats on the freakin’ chain; this is a mockery of the seriousness of what people are trying to do here.”
— Bitcoin Mechanic

Bitcoin Mechanic is a Bitcoin educator and Chief Boiling Officer at OCEAN. In this interview, we discuss the issues with arbitrary data on the Bitcoin blockchain, if filters can work as well as OCEAN mining pool and the need for greater decentralisation in mining.
