Building vs. Buying Bitcoin: Why Sazmining Built Software First to Scale Hashrate

In this episode of the Becoming Sovereign podcast, host Brandon Karpeles sits down with Kent Halliburton, COO and co-founder of Sazmining. Kent shares his path from computer engineering and a decade of rooftop solar rollouts to discovering Bitcoin while living in Portugal, and explains why Sazmining took a software-first approach to build an "Airbnb for Bitcoin mining" that earns a service fee rather than marking up hardware or power.

They also break down the math of mining versus dollar-cost averaging on centralized exchanges, the value of non-KYC sats, and how AI agents, robotics, and powered land may reshape global energy markets.
