In this week’s Mining Pod, we talk with the Galaxy Digital Bitcoin mining team about their Helios Bitcoin mine in Spur, Texas, population 900! We discuss the latest film, The Big Empty, how it was received by the community and what it means to have a Bitcoin miner join rural American towns like Spur.
