Chris Kline, co-founder & COO of Bitcoin IRA, sits down with Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) to show you how to turn the IRS into your silent stacking partner.

They break down:

• Tax-Free BTC Forever – how Roth and SEP IRAs let your sats snowball to seven figures without kissing them goodbye to the tax man.
• Checkbook Control – spin up an IRA-owned LLC or trust to self-custody keys, lease tractors, or even run mining rigs—all inside the shelter.
• $69K Contribution Hack – entrepreneurs can shovel up to $69k a year into a SEP and slash today’s bill while super-charging tomorrow’s stack.
• Pentagon of Custody – the security architecture (and Rocket Dollar acquisition) that keeps grandma’s seed phrase off Facebook and ransom gangs at bay.

Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) sit down with Bitfarms power duo Rachel Silverstein (GC & firm-builder) and Alex Brammer (ex-Ranger turned HPC czar) to map out Bitfarms’ high-voltage pivot from pure Bitcoin mining to hyperscale AI infrastructure. They unpack how a 460 MW fleet, a gigawatt development pipeline, and a fresh $300 million Macquarie project-finance deal are transforming legacy mining sites into liquid-cooled, 600 kW-per-rack AI engines. Discover why a “dream-team” exec roster, project-level debt, and a land-plus-power land-grab strategy could vault Bitfarms from blocks to bots—and what it all means for energy markets, AI’s compute arms race, and the future of work.

Rajiv Khemani, co-founder & CEO of Auradine, sits down with Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) live from Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas to pull back the curtain on America’s newest 3 nm ASIC powerhouse.
Auradine
They break down:

• Hydro Hash Density – 600 TH/s packed into a 2U rack and tunable down to 13.5 J/TH for “eco-mode” efficiency.
• AI-by-Day, Bitcoin-by-Night – shared liquid-cooling racks that swing idle GPU power into mining revenue in seconds.
• Heat Recapture Hustles – turning spent watts into shower water, fish-farm warmth, and any creative thermal side-gig you can dream up.
• Tariff-Proof Supply Chain – why building chips at TSMC but assembling in the U.S. (or non-China Asia) hedges geopolitical risk.
• $150 M War Chest & Creative Financing – how fresh capital lets Auradine offer pay-as-you-mine terms and sell standalone chips for DIY devices.

If you’re obsessed with mining density, cheap electrons, and staying geopolitically uncancelled, this episode hands you the playbook.

Comedian T.J. Miller (@nottjmiller) drops by to riff with Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) and Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) about getting “orange-pilled” by the Winklevoss twins, swapping war stories with Michael Saylor, and why true Bitcoiners keep stacking no matter how “frothy” the market gets. Expect unapologetic laughs, hard-won lessons on dollar-cost averaging, and a spicy take on politicians suddenly chasing crypto clout. Plug in for a fast-paced, no-filters tour of Bitcoin culture—from Broadway dinners to back-stage conference drama—and find out why T.J. thinks hodling might be comedy’s greatest punchline.

Charlie Brady of Bitfufu sits down with Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) to explore the world of cloud mining as a major revenue stream. They unpack the dynamics of Bitfufu's cloud mining operations, the strategic shift from asset-light to owning data centers, and how cloud mining is reshaping the financial landscape for both institutional and retail investors. Discover why cloud mining is a game-changer in the cryptocurrency space and what the future holds for this innovative approach.

Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) sit down with oil-patch veteran-turned-Bitcoin-miner Dan Morrison to unpack Waha-gas economics, off-grid data centers, and why 2025 may finally be the oil-and-gas adoption year for Bitcoin mining.
