Summary

Jason Les is the CEO of Riot Blockchain. In this conversation we discuss Bitcoin mining and the ongoing ESG conversations, the mining industry, the importance of capital markets, and why he wants the United States to be the leader in Bitcoin mining. ======================= Choice is a new self-directed IRA product that I'm really excited about. If you are listening to this, you are likely part of the 7.1 million bitcoin owners who have retirement accounts with dollars in them, but not bitcoin. I was in that situation too. Now you can actually buy real Bitcoin in your retirement account. I'm talking about owning your private keys and using tax-advantaged dollars to do it too. Absolute game changer. https://www.retirewithchoice.com/pomp ======================= Imagine coinmarketcap - decentralized. 3X in valuation is 15 billion dollars from the current price. Cryptotoday.com starts at zero, at fair launch on 7th of March. No VC. No pre-sale. Team tokens locked.  For the people, by the people. For decentralized crypto. Visit http://cryptotoday.com and read the whitepaper for the details. =======================
