Welcome to The Mining Pod! Will and Colin break down the harsh reality of bitcoin’s hashprice hovering around $40, putting many miners at break-even or underwater. The hashprice woes couldn’t come at a worse time, as the Trump administration’s tariffs are poised to increase CAPEX costs for miners in the U.S. The Trump tariff chaos sent miners scrambling to charter multi-million dollar flights for ASIC imports in the eves before the administration effected a 90-day pause on its proposed policy. We also discuss Pakistan's plans to use Bitcoin mining for surplus electricity. And for this week’s cry corner, if you wanted to vastly outperform the market year to date, you should have invested in this ETF that is short ETH.
