The #Bitcoin mining industry is often misunderstood, particularly by retail investors who focus on basic metrics like $BTC size or holdings.

Rob Chang (CEO of Gryphon Digital Mining) emphasized the need for investors to develop a more sophisticated understanding of mining fundamentals.

George Tung (host of CryptosRUs) highlighted that by supporting miners, investors are supporting the Bitcoin network itself, as miners are essential to maintaining its security and decentralization.

While Bitcoin has risen 30% this year, #mining companies like #marathondigital and #Bitfarms have struggled, yet Tung noted that some mining stocks have outperformed Bitcoin in the short term, suggesting potential investment opportunities.
