An incredible conversation with Ben Gagnon, the chief mining officer at BitFarms. BitFarms is one of the largest publicly traded mining companies in the world. I brought Ben on to discuss all things Bitcoin Mining including big mines vs. small mines, the HODL balance sheet strategy, buying Bitcoin vs Buying $BITF, and if he believes that Bitcoin miners will vertically integrate with energy companies.

I hope you enjoy the episode and I will see you all on the other side!
