Who doesn't love a sequel? Raymond Hawkins sure does, and back by popular demand for another episode of fantastic industry insights, Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon Digital Holdings, joined the Hawk to talk about all sorts of things. Top of mind was how current events are shaping the crypto community and how crypto could impact the events unfolding in Europe.     The current state of affairs could provide a new test for digital currency. Thiel pointed out in past wars; displaced citizens did not have many options for moving their money. “Crypto provides a unique thing in this world where sanctions have become essentially a weapon and weaponized,” Thiel said. In the matter of the war in Ukraine, the United States and its allies have used sanctions to shut off Russian access to banks. The only other bearer asset available for many people and businesses in this scenario is Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.   One might ask if Crypto is a solution to transferring assets, could Russia use crypto to avoid sanctions? Thiel said that the daily trading of cryptocurrency and the total market cap prevents this idea from being scalable. “As a tool for sanction evasion, Bitcoin is not a good option,” Thiel stated.   Since the start of the war in Ukraine, one trend is the decoupling of the correlation between bitcoin and equities. “All of a sudden, now there was a real use case for bitcoin that was very actual and urgent, and so you started seeing bitcoin move in the opposite direction of equities. Even bitcoin-related stocks which track the price of bitcoin started moving separately. So, there were days when the Dow and the Nasdaq would go down, yet bitcoin would go up, and you saw the Nasdaq-traded, bitcoin-related stocks, Like Marathon, for example, move in lockstep with bitcoin.”

Marathon Digital produced a “record” 1,259 bitcoins during the first three months of 2022. Yet the US-based bitcoin mining firm reported a Q1 net loss of $13 million, largely due to the decline in bitcoin's price since last year's highs. Despite falling short on revenue estimates, Marathon CEO Fred Thiel claims that the current cost for his company to produce one bitcoin via mining is “about $6,250,” giving the firm plenty of margin before they would need to consider scaling down their operation. In this episode of The Scoop, Fred Thiel sits down with host Frank Chaparro to discuss the intricacies of effectively managing a bitcoin mining company, along with Marathon's growth over the years. As Thiel explains during the interview, there are three main considerations when it comes to operating a bitcoin mining company: “There are really three things we worry about: the price of Bitcoin, the cost of power, and our ability to deploy and then access hardware. Capital is important, too, but those are the three KPIs we look at all day long.” While the price of bitcoin will always be prone to fluctuation, the energy cost for bitcoin miners is typically predictable since it is purchased on long-term contracts. As Thiel explains: “Just like the airline industry will hedge their fuel purchases by buying futures on fuel, when we write a hosting agreement, we are locking in a fixed price for five years. So our cost of hosting, which is energy hosting, services, etc., is locked in a little over $0.04 a kilowatt hour for five years. And our energy provider has to take out the hedges to make sure that they're not upside down on the energy cost.” The third consideration — the ability to deploy and access hardware — is often a bottleneck for Marathon, because the company has to wait on government bodies to approve operational permits.

This week, Brad dives into the world of crypto mining and how energy plays a critical role in the rise of this technology. To understand how blockchain and cryptocurrencies work, and their relationship with electricity use, Brad is joined by Thomas Mapes, Sr. Policy Analyst at the Chamber of Digital Commerce, and Fred Thiel, Chairman & CEO at Marathon Digital Holdings.

Bitcoin miner Marathon Digital Holdings plans to relocate its coal-powered Hardin mining facility in the US state of Montana to a more sustainable location. This is part of its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint by using non-carbon emitting sources of energy for its operations. Marathon Digital eyes sustainable energy sources According to the CEO, Fred Thiel, the company is dedicated to ensuring that it employs sustainable mining practices as soon as possible. “With the majority of our fleet already scheduled to be deployed at renewable power facilities and deployments currently underway, we believe it is an appropriate time to transition our legacy operations away from fossil fuel generation and towards more sustainable sources of power,” he said. Beowulf hosts the Hardin mining facility and owns the coal power plants powering them. According to Marathon, it plans to transition to a carbon-neutral energy source by this year's third quarter. While the company did not provide information about where it's planning to relocate or the kind of energy it will adopt, Thiel did state that its mining strategy is to deploy rigs close to sustainable energy producers, so they don't have to be on the grid. The company has previously stated that it will deploy 199,000 Bitcoin miners in 2023 as part of its goal to reach 23.3 exahash per second (EH/s). It also said that it intends to deploy 100,000 miners in Texas that will be powered mostly by solar and wind farms. Marathon has also pledged that all its operations will be carbon-neutral by the end of 2022. Green energy comes to fore for Bitcoin mining The decision to transition comes at a time when Bitcoin miners are opting for sustainable energy practices. This is a direct result of the increased scrutiny from government and environmental organizations about the impact of mining practices on the environment. Stakeholders in Europe have also urged the governments in the region to ban blockchains dependent on the proof of work consensus mechanism. However, the European Union voted against that in its crypto regulatory framework. On Monday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report included crypto mining as a source of carbon emissions. Before then, Greenpeace launched a campaign “change the code, not the climate,” which aimed to reduce Bitcoin energy impacts by transitioning to a more energy-efficient consensus model. Although many have criticized this campaign, Bitcoin advocates still recognize the need for more energy efficiency. This is why more miners are working towards a sustainable environmental practice. However, some crypto advocates have opined that there has been too much attention on crypto energy consumption when Bitcoin CO2 emission is lesser than that of the global banking system and the gold industry.

Fred Thiel is the CEO of Marathon Digital Holdings. We talk about his path to becoming CEO, how he focuses on adding value, his company's strategy and how being able to move fast has led him to success.

Fred Thiel dives into Bitcoin mining and infrastructure, how Bitcoin compares to the Internet boom of the 90's and advice for entrepreneurs ready to join the rapidly growing Bitcoin ecosystem. In this podcast episode, we share: How Bitcoin's price interacts with the profitability of mining What it looks like to only pay for Bitcoin miners vs. infrastructure Forming partnerships and the long term outlook for Bitcoin mining Bitcoin's role in Web 3.0 and the impact on miners Marathon Digital Holding's immediate and long term mining plans Using NFTs and Oracles to achieve 100% objectivity in data Advice for entrepreneurs or startups interested in DAOs or the Bitcoin ecosystem Impact of regulation and why Fred believes the Bitcoin blockchain provides more security and stability Exciting developments in the blockchain market around identity and healthcare data 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.” Links Mentioned: Marathon Digital Holdings - https://marathondh.com/ ----------------- To make sure you never miss an episode of the Uncensored Crypto podcast, be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, or your favorite podcast platform.

Fred Thiel, CEO of Marathon Digital Holdings, one of the largest bitcoin mining operations in North America, joined host Raymond Hawkins to discuss cryptocurrency. From blockchain to bitcoin, Thiel covered it all, including all the nooks and crannies in between. “The blockchain is essentially a chain of linked blocks that each block consists of a certain number of transactions,” Thiel said. “If you think about a ledger, like your check register, if you have a checkbook and you write a bunch of checks, you write them down in your check register at the month you get a statement from your bank. So, those types of transactions are formed into blocks. The underlying software for the blockchain allows miners to do this process of assembling these transactions into blocks. Then you run a mathematical cryptographical proof on this data, and that generates a hash. And that hash has to have a certain value to it. And when it gets that hash, it then has to be equal to or less than a specific target number that the blockchain is looking for.” Miners who guess that number correctly will win the block, publish the block, other nodes validate the block, and then the miner will receive a block award. In the high-stakes game of blockchain mining, with limited numbers of bitcoin issued per day, Thiel said there is a competition to it. “If you have one miner, and you plug it in, you're not going to get a fraction of a bitcoin every day,” Thiel said. “And so what miners do is, miners, pool their miners together. And aggregating and cooperating, a group of miners in a pool, you have a more hash-rate you're contributing to the overall network, and a higher likelihood you're going to win blocks, and the block rewards can be evenly distributed amongst members of the pool.”

On this episode of the Unhashed Podcast, we talk AMC accepting bitcoin, infrastructure bill shenanigans, Ee-lawn Musque's take on mining energy mix, how ETFs might or might not track the BTC price, half a billion dollars in a DeFi hack, and then finish off with some movie reviews.AMC Theaters will accept the cryptocurrency bitcoin for movie tickets and concessions in the U.S. by the end of 2021, according to CEO Adam Aron, who first made the announcement during an earnings call on Monday. The theater chain will also start accepting Apple Pay and Google Pay, but there are still plenty of important questions about AMC's bitcoin bet that haven't yet been answered. 'œI've had to learn more in the past six months about blockchain and cryptocurrency than I learned about it in the entire decade before that,' Aron told members of the conference call. 'œThis increased knowledge has given me the confidence to tell you all today that AMC is hereby formally announcing on this call that by year's end we will have the information technology systems in place to accept bitcoin,' Aron continued. Aron noted that all bitcoin purchases of movie tickets and concessions would need to happen online, leaving some question about whether customers would be able to change their purchases after they showed up to the theater.A compromise crypto amendment between senators Cynthia Lummis (R-Wyo.), Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), and the U.S. Treasury failed to make it into the final version of the infrastructure bill. Today in the Senate, Senator Toomey introduced a process known as Unanimous Consent, which required zero objections to pass a motion. Although support for the compromise agreement was widespread, it failed on the objection of Senator Richard Shelby (R-AL), who objected with the request of including a $50 billion defense amendment to the bill. Then in a last-ditch effort Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) asked for Unanimous Consent on his own amendment, which would have stricken the crypto language from the bill altogether. However, Shelby objected for the same reasons. There had been optimism this morning when the bi-partisan group of senators, which had been promoting competing agreements over the past few days, that the '˜problematic' language from the original bill would be struck before a final vote. In particular, Senators Ron Wyden (D-OE), Cynthia Lummis (R-WY), and Pat Toomey (R-PA), objected to vague language that would require any node or miner, as well as software developers, to be categorized as a '˜broker' and produce 1099s for crypto users. The compromise language would have exempted these entities to primarily focus on crypto exchanges, such as Coinbase. The failure comes on the back of widespread crypto industry rallying, including more than 40,000 calls reportedly made to Senators by the non-profit Fight for the future. With no more paths to alter the bill's language, the next step in the process is for the $1.2 trillion bill to be voted on in its entirety by the Senate, which could happen anytime. Given the bi-partisan nature of the bill, it is expected to pass. It must then be reconciled with a version produced by the 435 member House of Representatives before getting signed by President Biden and becoming law. Actual implementation of the law is expected in 2023.Tesla CEO Elon Musk said the company will likely start accepting bitcoin for vehicle purchases again. 'œIt looks like bitcoin is shifting a lot more toward renewables and a bunch of the heavy-duty coal plants that were being used...have been shut down, especially in China,' said Musk on Wednesday at The B-Word conference, an event hosted by the Crypto Council for Innovation. 'œI want to do a little more due diligence to confirm that the percentage of renewable energy usage is most likely at or above 50% and that there is a trend toward increasing that number. If so, Tesla will most likely resume accepting bitcoin,' he said. In May, Musk said on Twitter that the company would suspend vehicle purchases using bitcoin out of concern over the 'œrapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for bitcoin mining.' Since then, Beijing has cracked down on crypto, expelling the country's crypto miners, who have since begun to patriate elsewhere. New data from Cambridge University shows many miners are headed to the U.S., which is now the second-biggest destination for the world's bitcoin miners. The U.S. is home to some of the cheapest sources of power on the planet, which, more often than not, are renewable. Fred Thiel of Marathon Digital said most miners new to North America will be powered by renewables, or gas offset by renewable energy credits, and Compass CEO Whit Gibbs estimated that bitcoin mining in the U.S. is more than 50% powered by renewables. 'œLong-term, renewable energy will be the cheapest energy, but it doesn't just happen overnight,' Musk said. 'œBut as long as there is a conscious and determined, real effort by the mining community to move toward renewables, then obviously Tesla can support that.'French regulators have approved asset manager Melanion Capital to begin offering a bitcoin-tied exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the European Union. Though this asset does not have full correlation to the price of the world's number one cryptocurrency, its wide international market and 90%+ correlation marks major progress for investors' ability to gain bitcoin exposure. The struggle to create a legal, regulator-approved Bitcoin ETF has been a major ongoing development for years now. An ETF is a type of derivative that has its own value set to correspond with the value of some outside tangible or intangible asset, such as gold bullion or the growth in stocks of a specific private firm. The mechanisms of keeping this valuation on target can be a challenge, with slight fluctuations from the actual value to be expected, but complicated systems of arbitrage exist for most ETFs so that the asset managers can respond to changes in the financial world with speed and precision.Hackers allegedly breached blockchain-based platform Poly Network and extracted more than $600 million in cryptocurrencies on Tuesday, the company announced on Twitter, marking the biggest hack ever in the decentralized finance space that's heating up among investors. Crypto-exchange operators spoke out soon after the massive hack. Changpeng Zhao, the billionaire CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Binance said in tweets that the company, which serves as the primary operator of the blockchain on which binance coins are built, will coordinate with its security partners and 'œdo as much as [it] can' to help. Meanwhile, Jay Hao, the CEO of cryptocurrency exchange OKEx, said the company is "watching the flow of coins and will do [its] best to manage the situation." According to a series of tweets by Mudit Gupta, the contract with the funds on Ethereum was essentially controlled by a single key, so the "hack" may have been as simple as a custodian losing their key.
