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: 1) What led an M&A lawyer to transition into a mining machine company? 2) 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? 3) 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? 4) How does each Bitcoin halving impact Bitcoin price, market dynamics, and the operations of Bitcoin miners and mining rig manufacturers? 5) Which country/region is contributing the most hash rate after China lost its dominance? 6) With each halving event, is centralization an inevitable occurrence for the Bitcoin mining industry?
