On today's show, I have mister Rod Rudy, who's the founder of Bitcoin Park and just an all around leader in the space. And on the show, we cover a wide breadth of topics, like what Rod's doing to work in the state of Tennessee that merges energy, AI and Bitcoin, what his thoughts are on the current shift in culture clash that's happening between legacy Bitcoiners and all of these institutions that are now playing in the space?
