Panel discussion
The Future of Bitcoin Mining: Power, Incentives, and Decentralization
Bitcoin mining is the engine behind the network—but who controls that engine, and where is it heading?
In this panel, we explore how mining is evolving as the industry scales and matures. What risks come with too much power in the hands of a few large pools? Can smaller miners stay competitive? How do policy pressures, like sanctions or regulation, impact who gets to mine and which transactions get confirmed?
We’ll break down:
Why decentralization in mining still matters
How miners make decisions—and what influences them
Whether new ideas like mining incentives or protocol changes can shift the balance
What individuals and communities can do to keep mining open and censorship-resistant
If you care about Bitcoin’s long-term resilience, this conversation is one you don’t want to miss.
