On this special birthday episode, Trevor Smyth of Arctos Capital joins us to discuss their recent $1M sale and leaseback deal with Blockware Mining. Trevor gives some valuable perspective on how new crypto lending products are helping North American miners free up capital and expand their facilities.  He also shares his insights into how Chinese ASIC manufacturer delays are affecting these financial products and if we'll ever see an ASIC manufacturer based in North America.
