Running a publicly traded mining company, Sean has to defend bitcoin to the public. He defines what bitcoin is, plus his personal Big Short story from the 2008 housing bubble.

Sean Walsh is a natural entrepreneur and contrarian. I've done well over a hundred interviews with top people in the bitcoin world, and Sean has ideas and opinions that I've never heard before.

Sean is the CEO of HyperBlock, which has a large mining center in Missoula, Montana.
