🌟This week on Life with Bitcoin
What It Feels Like to Mine a Bitcoin Block?
One theme kept coming up throughout this conversation:
The future belongs to participants, not consumers.
In this conversation with ivylumi (nprofile…5vjs) , heatherlarson (nprofile…vevv)
shares what participating in mining a Bitcoin block taught her - not just about Bitcoin, but about curiosity, community, music, and the difference between consuming a network and helping build one.
Together, they explore why #Bitcoin , #Nostr , and Value for Value are giving people the tools to move from simply consuming content, music, and communities… to actively helping build them.
We also discuss:
⚡ What it feels like to participate in mining a Bitcoin block
🎵 Why music is one of humanity's oldest forms of connection
🧡 How Value for Value changes the relationship between creators and audiences #V4V
🌍 Why open networks like Nostr encourage participation over passive consumption
One question stayed with me long after we finished recording:
Where in your life are you still consuming… when you could be participating?
