<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week for the Bitcoin Magazine Podcast, host CK sits down with Mike Colyer the CEO of Foundry a wholly owned subsidiary of DCG focused on Mining in the US. Foundry is making a massive effort to bring hashrate to North America both with physical hardware as well as with building the Foundry Mining Pool.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mike is extremely proud of how much hashrate is flowing into the US and that Foundry's pool has peaked into the top 5 BTC mining pools as well as Foundry being one of the very first mining pools to signal for Taproot upgrade of Bitcoin.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the key ways that Foundry is building out a competitive mining environment in the US is by financing other operations to acquire energy contracts and mining equipment. Foundry understands that nation states will have to build a strategy around Bitcoin mining and he wants to make sure the that hash rate is as evenly distributed around the globe as possible.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Topics:</span></p> <ol> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mining in north America</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cost per kilowatt in the best geographies</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">The role of mining in geopolitics.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Volatility in Bitcoin's Hashrate and what that means.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">The players in the asic game and the nature of the asic market.</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">Foundry financing self mining or equipment in North America</span></li> <li><span style="font-weight: 400;">How the mining ecosystem evolving over the course of this year.</span></li> </ol>
