Session
Bitcoin mining went mainstream and there are now more than 10 publicly traded miners operating in the US and abroad. Still there remain arguments that the best place to build these businesses are in the private markets where more creative energy relationships and lower cost reporting burdens help to keep the businesses nimble. This panel will discuss the benefits and challenges of building mining businesses in both venues.
