Very awesome creator who is in-depth and does great videos on anything space related.
Thought this video on him talking about Mars was interesting. Haven't heard of the "iron rod" tactic of creating a magnetic field.

I read that the process of atmospheric erosion is so slow that a magnetic field would be more or less unneeded. If you built up a thick enough atmosphere on Mars that it was breathable you would have millions of years before it became untenable again.
Yup! It's more so speed and cost.
You could make the "Ferro-rod" technique discussed in the video for the absolute cheapest, quickest and it's entirely possible for us to do now in our current technological development. Plus...what does Martian soil have a lot of?
