EPISODE DESCRIPTION
I sat down with Mark from GoMining live at Token 2049 in Singapore to dig into one of the most ambitious projects in the Bitcoin space right now. GoMining started by solving a simple but massive problem: Bitcoin mining was only for the wealthy and technically elite. They tokenized hash rate and made it accessible from just $25. But that was only the beginning. Mark walks me through their evolution into a full Bitcoin super app , where you can mine, earn yield, take out instant loans, and spend Bitcoin via a payment card. The conversation gets really interesting when we talk about GoBTCPay, their patented instant Bitcoin payment protocol, and why Mark believes Bitcoin , not stablecoins , is positioned to win the agentic payments race. We also get into the behavioral challenge of getting people to actually spend Bitcoin, why velocity matters for Bitcoin's long-term value, and how they are racing to build data center infrastructure to keep up with explosive consumer demand. This is a must-listen if you care about where Bitcoin is headed as a real-world currency.

KEY POINTS WITH TIMESTAMPS
• [00:00] GoMining tokenized hash rate, making Bitcoin mining accessible from just $25 and generating historically strong ROI
• [02:28] The original problem: Bitcoin mining required huge capital, specialized teams, and was impossible for regular people to participate in
• [03:30] ROI during bull cycles has reached 80–90% annually; even bear cycles produce around 25–30%
• [04:30] GoMining has expanded into a full ecosystem: yield on Bitcoin and stablecoins (10.5–11% APY), instant loans, and payment cards
• [05:30] Their strategic vision is a Bitcoin super app where you can earn, borrow, and spend Bitcoin all in one place
• [06:47] The GoMining ecosystem now has over five million registered users
• [12:42] GoBTCPay , their patented instant Bitcoin payment protocol , was introduced in May at Consensus in Miami
• [14:00] The two-to-three-year strategic roadmap is focused on rolling out GoBTCPay as a global Bitcoin payment rail
• [17:30] For Bitcoin to grow in value long-term, it needs to become a means of payment, not just a store of value
• [23:00] Mark makes the case that Bitcoin is best positioned to win agentic payments due to neutrality, finality, liquidity, and security
• [26:45] Agentic payment volume is projected to reach $3.8 trillion by 2030
• [27:25] Infrastructure is the core operational challenge , data centers must be planned and built two years ahead of consumer demand
