“The right to transact actually precedes all other rights. I hope the Bitcoin community engages in what I think is actually the most important fight that we could possibly wage, is to get inserted into the Bill of Rights of freedom to transact.”

In this episode of THE Bitcoin Podcast, host Walker America sits down with Kent Halliburton, co-founder of Sazmining, for an eye-opening conversation on Bitcoin mining, KYC-free sats, the future of Bitcoin policy, and why wild sats are the ultimate form of financial freedom.

Kent shares his orange-pill journey from rooftop solar to building a mining-as-a-service company that empowers everyday Bitcoiners to mine real, untouched, surveillance-free Bitcoin—without the noise, hassle, or KYC. We dive deep into:

🛠 Mining Misconceptions: Why most Bitcoiners misunderstand ROI, capex, and mining economics—and how Sazmining simplifies it all

🌍 Bitcoin Policy & Double Taxation: Why DC is still clueless, and how Bitcoiners are the intransigent minority reshaping politics

💥 Wild Sats vs. Surveillance Sats: Why mining your own Bitcoin restores privacy and boosts circular economy adoption

⚡ Renewables & Energy FUD: How Bitcoin mining is actually saving the planet by monetizing wasted and renewable energy

⛏️ Mining Pool Centralization: Why Ocean, Stratum V2, and decentralizing block template construction are critical for Bitcoin’s future

🔐 Quantum Threats: Are they real? And is Bitcoin ready?
