INTERVIEW: How Miners Should Think About Ordinals With Mike Hamilton


Listen Later

Chief Research Officer at Bitcoin miner Griid, Mike Hamilton is an experienced & well-known Bitcoin miner. But even more impressive might be his feat snagging of the second Runes ticker once the moment the protocol launched last April. 


Mike talks about how his experience with Bitcoin and tinkerer mentality let him beat all the other teams competing for the top Runes spots. Mike also discusses Bitcoin mining, the role miners may play going forwards, and his personal project “Mutable Trees.”
