We chat about his history as an entrepreneur and the different start-ups he has founded. The discussion moves to Bitcoin mining and Mike’s view on the publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies and where he sees value and risk. Lastly, we discuss the corruption and fraud in the crypto and Defi space and how when things seem too good to be true, they often are.
