The Spaces recaps Go Mining’s presence at the European Blockchain Convention (Barcelona) and outlines the company’s BTCFi-oriented roadmap. Yan hosts CEO Mark, who reports strong booth performance with Satoshi Games (circa 300 participants, ~450 games won), 138 Barcelona-edition miners distributed, and ~100 new users onboarded. Institutional traction rose via the Alpha Blocks fund, with hedge/alt managers engaging. Mark details four products slated for the next 3–6 months: Mine Now, Pay Later (25% upfront; immediate mining; installments), Visa payment cards tied to the Go Mining wallet (EU pilot late Nov/early Dec; terahash cashback), Easy Earn (BTC-denominated yield on wallet balances), and Lending (60–70% LTV against crypto in-wallet). Industry insights highlight growing TradFi acceptance and BTCFi’s need for safe, trusted yield and liquidity, where Go Mining’s mining heritage and user trust provide an edge. Community initiatives include launching The Goal Club (avatars, VIP), side events at upcoming conferences (Consensus Hong Kong and Miami; Japan), and a giveaway: five Barcelona miners for selected product questions to be answered at next month’s town hall with CPO Dan.

    • ~300 participants played.
    • ~450 game rounds won, contributing to a “Satoshi bank” pool and playoffs.

    • Effective user acquisition and heightened interest across retail and institutional audiences.

Mission and Next Steps

  • Strategic evolution
    • GoMining has grown into one of the largest mining ecosystems globally.
    • The mission is expanding from digital mining access to a broader, holistic Bitcoin ecosystem experience.
    • Focus: enabling users to earn, spend, and unlock liquidity on top of mined BTC and holdings.

Product Roadmap (next 3–6 months)

  • Overview
    • Products directly address user requests: yield on balances, spending from the GoMining wallet, liquidity via lending, and easier scaling of mining power.
    • Timelines are subject to refinement to avoid undue pressure on delivery teams.
  • Mine Now, Pay Later (MNPL)
    • Concept: Buy Now, Pay Later adapted to mining.
    • Mechanics: 25% upfront payment for new mining power; remaining payments spread over time (likely in 25% increments).
    • Benefit: Mining capacity activates immediately; users start mining on day one.
  • Payment Cards (Visa)
    • Linked to the GoMining wallet; spend from BTC, GoMining Token, USDT/USDC balances.
    • Rollout: Trial in Europe end of November/early December; subsequent expansion to the US and other regions.
    • Cashback: Provided as additional terahash (mining power), creating a feedback loop—spend, earn terahash, mine more.
  • Easy Earn (BTC Yield)
    • Yield paid in BTC (Satoshis) on balances held in the GoMining wallet.
    • Eligible assets: BTC, GoMining Token, USDT, USDC.
    • Goal: Simple yield accrual within the GoMining ecosystem.
  • Lending (Collateralized Liquidity)
    • Borrow against crypto holdings within the GoMining wallet (BTC, GoMining Token, stablecoins).
    • Indicative loan-to-value (LTV): ~60–70% (subject to finalization).
    • Example: $1,000 in GoMining Token could secure ~$600 in USDT.
    • Use cases: Spend via payment card, upgrade mining power, cover electricity/maintenance, or other liquidity needs.
  • Product deep dives
    • Upcoming product town hall: CPO Dan will provide detailed mechanics and timelines for each product.

Industry Insights: BTCfi Trends and Positioning

  • Institutional acceptance
    • Clear increase in interest from traditional finance: private funds, hedge funds, alternative managers.
    • Momentum suggests acceptance is a “one-way door” as more conservative capital explores Bitcoin and blockchain participation.
  • BTCfi user profile vs. ETH DeFi
    • BTCfi audience: long-term Bitcoin holders, comparatively more conservative, prioritizing security and trust.
    • Core need: derive utility and yield from BTC holdings without compromising long-term security.
  • GoMining’s positioning
    • Existing trust and security practices with a long-standing mining community provide a base to expand into BTCfi services.
    • Unique value: integrated suite—spend from wallet, earn BTC yield, get cashback as terahash, borrow against holdings.
    • Expectation: Next 2–3 years will see strong growth as GoMining leverages product expertise and community trust.

Community and Events: Goal Club

  • Launch
    • Goal Club avatars collection introduced in Barcelona; tied to increasing VIP levels and community perks.
    • Inaugural side event held during EBC Barcelona.
  • Conference calendar
