With the 4th Bitcoin halving approaching, I interview Leo Wang, Head of Capital Markets and Senior Director of Investor Relations at Canaan, a NASDAQ-listed company, that manufactures Bitcoin mining rigs.
This engaging conversation delves into several intriguing questions:
❶ What led an M&A lawyer to transition into a mining machine company?
❷ How did a Ph.D. student in China come across Bitcoin, and become an "OG" and a pioneer of ASIC mining machines? What became of Butterfly Labs?
❸ What are the predominant challenges facing leading mining machine manufacturers such as Canaan, Bitmain and MicroBT? How is Canaan competing with the dominant player Bitmain?
➍ How does each Bitcoin halving impact Bitcoin price, market dynamics, and the operations of Bitcoin miners and mining rig manufacturers?
❺ Which country/region is contributing the most hash rate after China lost its dominance?
❻ With each halving event, is centralization an inevitable occurrence for the Bitcoin mining industry?
