THE MINING POD: Is Bitcoin Mining Investable?

CoinDesk Podcast Network

Where does the game of chase end? For Bitcoin miners, maybe never.

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today we are joined by Chris Bendiksen of Coinshares to discuss investing in Bitcoin mining! What’s the value prop of miners? How should we think about their go-to-market strategy? What about the huge ASIC orders that get zeroed out so quickly overtime? For retail investors, Chris thinks its not a great purchase and certainly not when compared to Bitcoin. Check out the show for more thoughts!
