Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Blockspace broke news this weekend that Texas-based bitcoin miner Rhodium is going bankrupt, and we follow up in today’s show about what we do and don’t know regarding the incipient restructuring. As Rhodium starts restructuring its debt, other bitcoin miners have been expanding, with mergers and acquisitions becoming the second hottest trend this summer in the mining sector. The hottest trend, though, is AI, and we’ve got the straight skinny on how public bitcoin miners are approaching the hyped-up sector. And in this week’s Cry Corner, the gang addresses yet more quibbling about Bitcoin’s energy use (when Solomon said that there’s nothing new under the sun, he was really talking about energy FUD…).
