About this episode
In this episode of Outside The System, I spoke with John Marbach, the founder of Encrypted Energy. John is an entrepreneur, growth marketer, and engineer who is an alum of both Y Combinator and the Thiel Fellowship.
During the episode, we got into:
- Our personal introductions to Bitcoin
- Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin mining businesses
- How we take energy for granted at the consumer level
- Energy costs
- Bitcoin's Lightning Network and how it will impact the future of commerce
- Business ideas that are enabled by Lightning
