TheCoinDad is a German native under Romanian parents who migrated to America and joined the US Military. He spent the past two decades in the Logistics arena having been to 30 different countries and two warzones during that time. In 2013, he learned about Bitcoin and like many others he dismissed it as internet funny money. Since then TheCoinDad learned many skills in the mining community while building his shop. It was not until 2021 that he realized he might have the most extensive Bitcoin mining collection in the world and decided to focus on helping preserve the history of Bitcoin mining hardware. That is how the Bitcoin Mining Museum was born. His collection now extends to over 80 different machines from across the globe. To this day, he is still actively expanding the exhibit.
