Welcome back to The Mining Pod! For this week’s Bitcoin Stock Show, we welcome back Second Gate Advisory Co-founder Brandon Bailey for a refresher on Bitdeer. Bailey first came on the show in September 2024 after penning an op-ed for Blockspace, “The bullish case for Bitdeer.” Since this analysis, Bitdeer is up 240%, and he thinks it has room to grow, largely because of the company’s burgeoning ASIC manufacturing line. We touch on the ASIC manufacturing line in depth in this episode, plus some insights into other newcomers to the ASIC manufacturing space.  Published twice weekly, "The Mining Pod" interviews the best builders and operators in the Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining landscape.
