      In this episode, I sat down with Dunc from Solo Mining Co to explore the world of Bitcoin mining from the ground up — from early memories of money to the realities of home mining today. Dunc explains how mining has evolved, starting from the days of solo mining to the rise of mining pools, breaking down the process in a way that makes it accessible to anyone.We dug into topics like the 51% attack, the differences between altruistic solo miners and pooling resources, and the unique challenges and opportunities facing miners in the UK. He shared innovative, practical approaches for mining at home, along with insights into how mining technology is changing and what the future may look like.We also talked about mining strategies, market dynamics, the economics behind mining, and why running your own node remains essential. Toward the end, we reflected on how Bitcoin — and especially mining — has the power to shift beliefs and reshape how people understand money, energy, and sovereignty.

      In my conversation with Selale, we explored her deeply personal journey with money, growth, and finding authenticity through Bitcoin. She reflected on her early memories of money and what it meant to experience financial poverty but mental richness; a mindset that shaped her perspective on value and resilience.Selale spoke about how Bitcoin became a tool for personal transformation, helping her connect with her values and define her own path of contribution within the space. We discussed the fragility of wealth, why spending Bitcoin matters, and the process of moving from fiat work to earning and building entirely in Bitcoin.She shared how her understanding of Bitcoin’s layers evolved, and how that technical learning mirrored her own growth journey; full of mistakes, risks, and self-discovery. We also touched on mental health, the importance of staying authentic amid external pressures, and her views on emerging Bitcoin career paths and projects driving real-world impact.By the end, Selale’s story became a reflection not just on Bitcoin, but on what it means to live honestly, take risks, and align your life with your principles.
