On today's episode I'm joined by Marshall Long, aka @OGBTC on Twitter.  And Marshall is for sure an OG of Bitcoin.  Very few people in the game have been mining as long as Marshall has, so it was awesome to get to chat with him and get his perspective on the mining industry today. Marshall shares his take on the most recent stories including the ongoing Bitmain bottlenecks and hardware challenges, the lawsuit between Lancium and Layer1, and how the concept of defensive patents affects the mining industry as a whole.
