Michael Gu, Creator of Boxmining, stared in the Blockchain space as a Bitcoin miner in 2012. Something he immediately noticed was that accurate information is hard to come by in this space.

Being based in Asia, Michael also found a huge discrepancy between digital asset trends and knowledge gap in the West and China.
