On this episode of the HASHR8 Podcast I'm joined by special guest Matt Yamamoto. Matt is a research analyst for CoinDesk (previously The Block) and has done some phenomenal reporting on the mining industry.  I have been waiting quite some time to get him on the show and wow was this one worth the wait.  In our conversation Matt shares his story beginning with how he became interested in cryptocurrency mining, and how that lead to his role as a researcher for The Block and CoinDesk.  We continue by digging into why mining seems to be an under-appreciated industry, what makes reporting on mining companies so difficult, Hut 8's reported 28% drop in Q2 revenue,  Marathon's $23M ASIC purchase, and much much more. If you enjoy this episode please remember to give us a like and review on your favorite listening platform.
