As cryptocurrencies exploded last year, multi-million dollar mining farms plugged in around the world to confirm transactions for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Zcash, Dogecoin, and hundreds of other token networks.

Pull Stripe against HubSpot, check Sentry alerts, spin up a campaign brief, build a landing page, send a report upstairs. It all happens there.
