We chat with Kirk Su, Founder of Hash House based in China. In this episode, we have a special chat with an OG Bitcoin miner who's operated mining facilities in the West and the East. He shares his thoughts on a variety of topics including: coal as the preferable energy source for miners in China, partnering with private vs. state-owned Chinese enterprises, and why mining is not as profitable as some people think. Tune in to learn more!
