Leveraged Mining, Yurcisin’s new business, was created to help spread bitcoin. His dream is to help 10,000 people mine bitcoin using his company’s hands-free model.
With his specific expertise and focus now being Bitcoin mining, Yurcisin had a unique perspective in regards to the Texan’s adoption. Key quote “It opens up a gambit of possibilities for how Bitcoin can be connected and established in mainstream society . ” He said.
“ The NFL is one of the biggest sports leagues in the world and now that more teams are opening up to utilizing cryptocurrency to paying customers you’ll likely see a snowball effect across many other places. The transactions are de-risked (at least for the teams) as well because the end currency is still in fiat. ” Yurcisin wants to make mining bitcoin straightforward for the average person, so there’s an incentive for the adoption for crypto-carriers across popular entertainment elements.
Yurcisin added, “The best part about our business is that we use industrial power at incredibly cheap prices, we build out our immersion cooling systems which are our biggest competitive advantage over other mining companies. ” Colin Yurcisin of Leveraged Lifestyle at a photoshoot. Leveraged Lifestyle “Immersion cooling is the most efficient way to mine bitcoin,” he continued, “The reason why is because you get to remove the fan out of the miner, which is the single biggest point of failure and then you dunk the miners in immersion cooling liquid which lets them run at their most efficient state.
” “We also charge all of our costs upfront on our mining packages with our clients so there is no risk of us having to shut off our rigs due to not being profitable. We charge for the miner, electricity and maintenance all upfront so that we have the cash to buy our equipment, invest in infrastructure, pay employees and ensure that we can deliver the promised TH/S amount the client paid for over the 4 years of their contract. ” The company’s mission to make mining accessible to everyone is a potential precursor to creating industry and societal leverage to make the currency easier to use everywhere.
Yurcisin concluded, “Most mining companies are turning off their machines right now and selling bitcoin during the bear market and we’re doing the opposite. We’re building to be the best, and from teams like the Houston Texans you’re seeing that the growth in understanding of the market is shifting. ” Follow me on Twitter or LinkedIn .
