At North American Blockchain Summit in Dallas, where 30% of Bitcoin's hashrate is decided, nobody talks about Core v30. Miners care about steel, electrons, and profit—not technical debates. The disconnect between Bitcoin Twitter and real mining is massive. We're reporting live from the North American Blockchain Summit in Dallas, Texas, where roughly 30% of the world's Bitcoin hashrate is decided. The shocking reality? Bitcoin miners don't care about Core v30 or technical debates. They care about electrons, steel, aluminum, and profit. We break down how Foundry became the largest pool with 0% fees, why miners prefer FPPS revenue certainty over block variance, and the massive disconnect between Bitcoin's technical community and the mining industry.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
