Bitcoin mining is an essential component to ensuring that the bitcoin network is secure. It’s proof of work protocol provides second to none security for its global, decentralized network. As it becomes more competitive to secure the bitcoin network, the energy demand to keep the network moving forward continues to grow. Bitcoin mining provides the world with a new demand for renewable energy and a solution to not waste what was once cast off as lost energy and can now be harnessed to create an economic output. On this episode, I chat all things bitcoin mining with George Pate. George is located out of Houston, TX and as you’ll hear, he supports some fairly large scale bitcoin mining operations.

In 2021, I started to spend more time on LinkedIn and since I’ve been able to tap into a thriving community where discussions around web3, crypto, bitcoin and Ai dive deeper into the larger conversations of tech, society, economics, employment, social media, geopolitics and much more. One of the leading voices of many of these conversations is this episode’s guest - Tiago Amaral. 

Tiago is the Founder of Inevitable, which, as its website says, is an “is an education company focused on providing keynotes, workshops, and advisory for companies that want to understand the impacts of Web3 and AI in their businesses. It’s Inevitable.” Inevitable has worked with brands such as MoonPay, Reddit, Vayner3, Pinata, Coindesk, and Metaverse Insider. On this episode Tiago shares his thoughts on web3, Ai, crypto, building community on LinkedIn and much more.

Blockchain as a tech solution for real world challenges is often lost among the 5 minute news cycle noise that tends to focus on blockchain only as the tech behind bitcoin, cryptocurrency and/or NFTs; however, blockchain can be used to better our day to day lives and support communities around the globe to increase financial inclusion initiatives and climate resiliency efforts.

On this episode, I chat with Ken Kou about how Mercy Corps Ventures is leveraging blockchain to make real-world positive impacts and create new opportunities for communities across the globe.

I rarely, as this is the first time ever on More Than Blockchain, share other people's content but I felt that this was worth the "re-sharing". I feel that his article, which is linked below, is a foundational piece that should be read by as many as possible.

One of the complaints I often hear about web3 is that a lot of the projects, companies and ideas are solutions looking for a problem. Meaning that we already have suitable web2 solutions and that just because your project is backed by blockchain doesn’t make it necessarily the best real-world fit to solve the outlined problem. To be honest, I understand this criticism. I think it’s valid. As it is today, blockchain, crypto, NFTs and web3 can only do so much but where it can find a good solution-problem alignment is where it will thrive.

On this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Domingo who’s a cofounder of Homebase. Homebase is a company that starting today, February 28th 2023, will offer the world access to fractionalized ownership to residential real estate for as little as $100. Domingo and Homebase are trying to provide people the opportunity to gain exposure to residential real estate. Real estate, as we all know, especially in the single family home sector, has gotten exceedingly expensive. This is where Homebase is woking to bring a perfectly sound web3 solution to a web2 problem and help more people and families build wealth via real estate exposure - something that for far too many in the US has become seemingly out of financial reach.
