Native America Calling - Tuesday, January 7, 2025 – New Year, new financial goals
Avoiding unnecessary debt and living within your means are two important and well-known considerations for building your own wealth. But other factors, like investing in stocks, managing your retirement, and sorting out needs versus wants are also part of the complicated, life-long journey to secure your own finances. We’ll talk about how everything from IRAs to cryptocurrency fits in with your individual financial plan. CoinDesk Podcast Network - THE MINING POD: The Truth About the Russia Bitcoin Mining Ban
Today, we break down what the Russia bitcoin mining ban actually means with Denis Rusinovich.
Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Denis Rusinovich, a partner at the Cryptocurrency Mining Group, speaks to Colin about the particulars of the Russia bitcoin mining ban. News broke in December that Russia would be banning bitcoin mining in 10 regions, effective January 1, 2025 through March 15, 2031. Only the ban is not an all-out ban like the first wave of reporting would have us all believe. For today’s show, Rusinovich sets the record straight and gives us a rundown of the miners who are actually affected by the ban.

Code Story: Insights from Startup Tech Leaders - S10 Bonus: Egil Østhus, Unleash (Replay)
Egil Østhus is based out of Norway - which obviously means he loves skiing. But outside of this, he loves to run outdoors, through the woods and on the streets. He has not done a full marathon yet, but dreams of doing the New York marathon someday. He's a family man, married, with 2 boys - none of which like to run with him, but they all enjoy being active and hiking.
In a past role, Egil's co-founder (and brother, FYI) was looking for a tool that would help him release code into the wild, in a rapid - yet safe - manner. He couldn't find anything to meet his high standards - so he built his own. When the open source version started to get a lot of attention, Egil joined his brother to bring the solution to the enterprise.
This is the creation story of Unleash.
