The Blockspace Pod: Bitdeer's Clarington Lawsuit, $IREN's MSCI Index Listing, and Bitcoin's Quantum Step

Colin and Charlie join us to talk about a wild week in Bitcoin. We dive into the $16,000 price "puke" and whether we've hit a local bottom, explore Bitdeer's legal snag at their Ohio AI flagship site, and discuss IREN's inclusion in the MSCI USA index. We also break down the historic six-out-of-seven negative difficulty adjustments—the first since 2011—and tackle the "ontology of time" and quantum resistance.
