Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, independent stock analyst Pennyether joins us to talk about Bitcoin hashrate crossing 1 zettahash, the economics of ASIC manufacturing, and how Bitdeer could challenge Bitmain's dominance. We explore why miners spend 35-40% of revenue on ASICs, the HPC narrative driving mining stocks up, and why hashrate will continue growing exponentially despite megawatt concerns.

**Notes:**

• Bitcoin hashrate officially crossed 1 zettahash

• ASIC manufacturers capture 35-40% of mining revenue

• $19B+ annual Bitcoin mining revenue potential

• Bitfarms stock rose 138% in one week

• Bitdeer using TSMC for competitive advantage

• HPC deals 2-5x more profitable than mining
