Welcome back, everyone! I sat down with my new friend Daniel Wedman, the head of special situations at Sopris Capital. We delved into a variety of topics, focusing on the dynamic world of Bitcoin and crypto investments, and the evolving landscape of capital markets.Daniel's Career JourneyDaniel shared his fascinating career trajectory, starting from his early days at Citigroup on a special situations team, to his roles at SL Green and Wheelock Street Capital. His journey into the crypto world began as a side hobby of mining Bitcoin, which eventually led him to join Galaxy Digital's Bitcoin mining team.Sopris Capital and Investment StrategiesAt Sopris Capital, Daniel initially joined to build out the real estate arm but soon found himself pitching innovative investment ideas to Andy Paul, the open-minded founder. One notable strategy involved an ASIC arbitrage, where they imported ASICs from Asia, mined Bitcoin while waiting for them to sell, and then sold them at a premium.Bitcoin ATMsWe discussed the lucrative business of Bitcoin ATMs, which Daniel stumbled upon through a meetup in New York. Sopris Capital started with 50 machines in Canada and expanded to 200 in the U.S., with plans for further growth. Daniel highlighted the strong cash-on-cash returns and the significant market potential, especially among the underbanked.Stranded Energy and Bitcoin MiningDaniel explained the concept of stranded energy and how Bitcoin mining can utilize cheap, otherwise wasted energy sources. He shared an example of a curtailed wind energy project in West Texas, where they built a data center to mine Bitcoin using cheap wind energy.Economic Shifts and Investment OpportunitiesWe touched on the broader economic shifts and how they create opportunities for agile and flexible investors. Daniel emphasized the importance of reading the tea leaves and understanding the second and third-order consequences of policies aimed at helping working-class Americans.Compliance and Industry MaturationThe conversation also covered the increasing compliance requirements in the Bitcoin ATM industry and how this is leading to consolidation, with smaller players being acquired or going dark. Daniel sees this as a positive development, signaling the maturation of the industry.Future of Energy and ComputeDaniel shared insights from his time at Galaxy Digital, emphasizing the critical role of energy in the future of digital networks and compute. He expressed optimism about breakthroughs in energy technology, which could unlock a new era of innovation.Closing ThoughtsIt was a pleasure having Daniel Wedman on the show.

Nick Cote & Omar Shakeeb - Second Lane - Crypto Private MarketsMichelle Weekley, ByteFederal Bitcoin ATM's Welcome back my friends! In this episode, I'm joined by Nick Cote and Omar Shakeeb from Second Lane, and we're digging deep into the guts of the crypto world. These guys are like the switchboard operators of private markets, connecting top-tier investors, service providers, and liquidity providers. We talk about the importance of due diligence in secondary markets—because who wants to throw money into something without knowing all the details, right? Data plays a massive role in making smart investment moves, and Nick and Omar give us the lowdown on that.We also chat about where crypto is heading, especially with decentralized models on the rise, plus how AI and energy procurement are shaking things up in this space. Nick has this cool story about going from oil and gas to becoming a passive investor and operator in crypto, while Omar tells us how he got into OTC brokering. These guys have seen it all.Michelle Weekley from Byte Federal, who jumps in towards the end. She's their Director of Product Development and shares how Byte Federal is tackling regulatory obstacles, expanding globally, and pushing for more Bitcoin adoption. Michelle talks about why awareness and action are so important right now, and why she's optimistic about where things are headed for Bitcoin and crypto.We touch on some of the challenges and opportunities in crypto—transparency, education, and building community are huge. And we spotlight innovative projects like Helium and HiveMapper, which are using decentralized models to really give power back to the people.I also take a moment to reflect on a recent Bitcoin meetup I spoke at in Naples. The community there was hungry to get why crypto is so exciting. We go over some of the regulatory challenges our industry is facing, why political engagement is crucial, and what we need to do to keep pushing for hyper-Bitcoinization.Thanks for hanging with us, and as always, keep fighting for that decentralized future!Charlie

Paul explains that businesses are charged for this service, with 3-10% of what businesses receive going to the merchant servicer. He points out that many additional fees, often hidden, can impact business owners.Merchant servicing offers residual income and opportunities to build valuable business relationships. Paul shares his journey into digital marketing, emphasizing the importance of storytelling, creating value, and finding sustainable ways to generate income.Ryan reflects on his experience learning to hire, delegate, and balance work efficiently. He highlights the need to bring in others as assets to grow and buy back your time.The discussion touches on building a sales team with a positive culture, examining successful entrepreneurs' infrastructure, and being brutally honest with employees about areas needing improvement.For inspiring tips from Paul, follow his Instagram accounts @paulalex and @thepaulalex and check their website out here - https://www.merchantautomation.com/

Ben Weiss has significantly impacted the cryptocurrency space not once, but twice. A bona fide crypto thought leader (there are a lot of crypto charlatans out there), Ben has led a company that has exceeded $1B in transaction volume and also gets deep into the weeds of cryptocurrency regulation. Oh, and Ernst & Young recently named him an Entrepreneur of the Year. Join Jim and Ben as they explore Ben's wild ride from dorm room to Bitcoin ATMs to dreams of connecting with a billion crypto users. 3 Key TakeawaysSimplify, Simplify, Simplify: Committing to making your product as easy-to-use as humanly possible will set you apart from competitors. Prioritize simplicity, intuitiveness, and a smooth user experience throughout every aspect of your product.Know Yourself: Building a business is a roller coaster ride. We can—like many business owners—lose our identities by intertwining them with our careers. Our personal worth shouldn't be so closely tied to the success of a business.Explain the Why: You hire executives to do a job. They're better than you at it (or you have a problem), so let them take care of the “how.” But for them to be most effective, they need to know the “why” in all that they do—that's your job as the leader!
