From Hashrate to Hill Why Miners Should Engage in Public Policy | Bitcoin 2026

The blueprint for shutting down Bitcoin mining is hiding in plain sight and miners need to engage in public policy to fight back. At the Bitcoin 2026 Conference Energy stage, DCG director of policy Kyle Schneps moderates NiceHash's Filip Primec and Aurum Capital Ventures CEO John Paul Baric. They walk through the "pause, study, tax" legislative model, the 2021 New York moratorium, EU regulatory paralysis, the USDA non-discrimination opening for rural utilities, and the practical steps every miner can take to defend the industry.
