This clip shares a humorous anecdote about the speaker's high school experience, making it relatable and entertaining. I did win the Class Clown Award back in high school, too. So just to be clear, that was a coveted award. But, yeah, I mean, the social side, the introvert, extrovert, I do get my energy from learning and being more quiet. But I would say on the social side, I certainly enjoy people as well. No, that's fascinating. So starting in the 90s, then you went through the whole 2000s, the dot-com boom. You were transitioning through that craziness of 2000s. Tell me about that period of time. What was cool about it and how similar was it to the boom of crypto in 2017, 2018? In hindsight, I mean, it was almost identical. Really? Living through the dot-com boom, when it crashed, I was in my first year of grad school. 🔗 Links & Resources: Twitter: https://x.com/sergiigera Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergii-gerasymovych Site: https://ezblockchain.net/ 🚨The contents of this channel and any videos do not constitute legal, financial, business or professional advice.

This clip highlights the journey of an entrepreneur, showcasing the passion and drive needed to succeed, which resonates with aspiring business owners. I wish I could say I was a mad genius. I had this great idea. I loved computers. We lived in the country. Okay. I was very fortunate. My dad's a very technically savvy entrepreneur himself. So he started a company called One Corporation in the 80s that does digital signage, restaurant technology systems, et cetera. He brought home a computer for me and instantly I was hooked. So this would have been eighth, ninth, 10th grade. Again, living in the country, there was no girls to get me in trouble. We had a hard time getting into town. You have nothing to do. You have to start a company. Yeah, the fair was only one week during the summer, so that's when everyone would get into trouble. But my neighbor and my best friend, Nate Hubert, who was my vice president of operations at Compute North, a lot of people know his name, he would help me out along the way. And so by my senior year in high school, we had 17 computers, like 300 phone lines, a full rack, and an overheating bedroom. 🔗 Links & Resources: Twitter: https://x.com/sergiigera Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergii-gerasymovych Site: https://ezblockchain.net/ 🚨The contents of this channel and any videos do not constitute legal, financial, business or professional advice.

This clip discusses the unique aspects of Bitcoin mining and energy, appealing to tech enthusiasts and those interested in crypto. What I saw was a market that I was very familiar with, large-scale computers, large-scale projects. Um, infrastructure at scale, but it was what was really different and really unique is that it was so focused around energy. energy and when we were building data centers was kind of an afterthought. It was like something you had, you didn't really care about the price. It was really all about the fiber and the connectivity and being able to get that at your locations. And so it was kind of a fun learning experience and something to dive into i know story short, bought a couple miners, used to heat my garage. 🔗 Links & Resources: Twitter: https://x.com/sergiigera Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sergii-gerasymovych Site: https://ezblockchain.net/ 🚨The contents of this channel and any videos do not constitute legal, financial, business or professional advice.
