Episode 14: What is Proof of Work? Why you should know about it

Prosperous: Investing in Common Sense

We are often asked for a super basic, first principles explanation of Proof of Work. We make our best attempt to boil down PoW to its most basic points.
We discuss:
- What are the basics of Proof Of Work and how to think of it simply
- What's a good analogy and how it can be thought at as a game
- Some elegant aspects of PoW in the Bitcoin network design
- Data on ESG concerns and how to think about Bitcoin's energy use long-term
- Why energy in the Bitcoin network is programmed to go down over time
- What makes an attack so difficult?
