If you've started research into blockchain and cryptocurrency you've probably come across the term "mining". Mining is a stumbling block for a lot of people because it's using a real world term to explain something that's pretty digital and new. In Episode #2 Paul Puey CEO of Edge shared some of the basics of mining, but we wanted to dive deeper and chat with someone at the center of the mining revolution.

Marco Streng has been a huge mover in the Bitcoin and blockchain movement for years. His company, Genesis Mining, is the largest cloud mining provider in the world and they serve over 2 million customers globally. As a leader in this space, Marco is always flying from meeting to meeting, so we were lucky to get time with him between flights.

In this interview, Marco and I talk about what cryptocurrency mining is, why it's an essential part of blockchain innovation, and what the future of the mining industry looks like. If you're interested in where cryptocurrency 'comes from' and want to hear about it from one of the top people in the industry, you definitely want to give this one a listen!
