b'If you\'re curious about whether Bitcoin is decentralized, I have some bad news for you. It is not, especially when it comes to Bitcoin mining, which is controlled by a few large miners. Ryan Condron, CEO of Titan and Lumerin, is a pioneer in cryptocurrency and has been advocating for Bitcoin\'s decentralization and anonymity since 2012. In this episode, you will learn about the concept of decentralization, the potential for major conflicts over Bitcoin initiated by world governments, and why Ryan is so bullish on Bitcoin. \\n\\nRyan Condron: https://twitter.com/ryankcondron\\nLumerin: https://lumerin.io/\\n\\n\\u25ba\\u25ba Sponsored by iTrust Capital\\nInvest in Bitcoin, Crypto Assets & Gold with Your IRA Using iTrust Capital.\\n\\U0001f449 https://bit.ly/itrust-scott\\n\\n\\u25ba\\u25ba JOIN THE FREE WOLF DEN NEWSLETTER, DELIVERED EVERY WEEK DAY!\\n\\U0001f449https://thewolfden.substack.com/ \\n\\n\\u25ba\\u25baOKX\\nSIGN UP FOR AN OKX TRADING ACCOUNT THEN DEPOSIT & TRADE TO UNLOCK MYSTERY BOX REWARDS OF UP TO $60,000! \\n\\U0001f449 https://www.okx.com/join/SCOTTMELKER \\n\\n\\u25ba\\u25baTRADING ALPHA\\nREADY TO TRADE LIKE THE PROS?
