In this episode we have Ryan MacLeod, also known as NuclearBitcoinr on Twitter, for a discussion about the intersection between #Bitcoin and nuclear energy! Ryan is an advocate for bitcoin mining with nuclear power. Upon understanding how mining works, he assembled the team that won the North American Young Generation in Nuclear's Innovation 4 Nuclear idea competition. It is his belief that mining has the capability to resolve many economic liabilities associated with nuclear power and unleash its full potential.
