Bitcoin in Asia - Bitmain in North America with Raymond Walintukan BIA 21
08/10/20 • 36 min
Our guest this week is Raymond Walintukan, Director of Mining Operations North America for Bitmain. His perspective as someone in charge of running and growing a separate geography for a Chinese company and for Bitmain in particular is an interesting one. We talk about that situation, the workflow, the growth strategy, and dive into how it works operationally and how it fits into the broader Bitmain effort. Raymond also details Bitmain’s North American footprint, the nuances of working with public and private utilities in the US and mining trends that he sees heading into this next Bitcoin cycle.
