In 2018, Digital Shovel was building Bitcoin mining containers in a parking lot. We didn’t occupy the whole building. We didn’t have rows of equipment. We had one plasma cutter, limited space, and a clear goal: build infrastructure that actually made sense for miners.
Growth didn’t happen overnight. It came in stages.
First machine.
First container.
First customer.
First expansion into a larger room.
Then another.
Then the rest of the building.
That’s how most real businesses scale, not in giant leaps, but in steady, sometimes uncomfortable steps forward.
You reinvest. You refine. You outgrow your space. You hire carefully. You make mistakes. You improve your process. And eventually, the operation looks very different than it did on day one.
The Bitcoin mining industry moves fast. Hardware generations change. Market cycles swing. But one constant behind sustainable growth is the willingness to start small and build deliberately.
Every large facility was once a cramped workspace.
Every automated line was once manual.
Every established brand was once unknown.
The key is starting - and continuing.
