EP04: Bitcoin Mining with Fred Thiel Nov 09, 2021

Memorable Quotes:

“You have to continue to grow and expand and it's a constant race to expand...it's a really good example of a time where our business model really helps us. We're not investing capital in mining infrastructure like hosting and data centers. We just invested in miners so we can grow at a faster rate than somebody who has to also pay for their infrastructure.”
“As the value of these networks grow, based on the number of users, the more users you have, the bigger market you have for any startup to address. I think it's just a question of time, and we're already seeing adoption in the blockchain world go faster than how the Internet was adopted.”

Memorable Quotes:

“I think that the Bitcoin ETF...It's just lending more credibility to the space, more legitimacy to Bitcoin as an asset class as an institutional grade investment.”
“There's all of these mechanisms that allow for the minimization of volatility and the stabilization of the operations of Bitcoin mining business that are going to make it easier and easier to invest larger and larger amounts of capital and be operating on longer and longer time horizons. That is really going to be like we're watching this industry go from the gold panning of the mid 1800s.”
“But you fix the money, you fix the incentives, you fix a lot of the things...causing us to go in the direction we're going in...I happen to be in the camp that really believes that Bitcoin has the potential to do that, and therefore I'm deeply hopeful for the future.”

And so these things all trade against each other, they all vie for market share, but there is something fundamentally interesting going on, that's a little uncorrelated to the market.”
“I think a lot of it really is the network, the human network, going out finding the capital to collateralize, finding people that are on board or crypto.”
“I always think it's a good time to buy some bitcoin...because if nothing else, my purchasing power doesn't get diluted by inflation...it's a reasonable store of value.”

“If you build them, right, and you and you scale them, right, and you incentivize them correctly, they could go beyond even crypto—if there was a next phase of crypto—it's just really a group of people collectively working on something and that might be the sustainability of it.”
