Aviran offers what others cannot: ACTUAL HANDS ON DAY TO DAY EXPERIENCE. Do you want to overcome an expert with 30 certificates, 50 degrees and multiple theoretical credentials? Hire an actual crypto operator with real experience in day to day Operations, Maintenance, Deployment, Moves, Decommissions, Support and all aspects of Crypto Hosting and Mining. He has been retained six times as an expert witness in cryptocurrency hosting and bitcoin mining disputes. He has testified four times and has given five depositions, in federal litigation and in multiple AAA arbitrations. In Crypto Infiniti v. EZ Blockchain, a $15M federal jury trial in Chicago, the jury returned a unanimous defense verdict in favor of his client on all claims. Across these matters he provided clear, evidence-based testimony addressing the deployment, maintenance, decommissioning, and operational optimization of ASIC hardware, as well as the assessment of damages and financial losses. His contributions consistently exceeded expectations and helped resolve complex matters in favor of his clients. Unlike many experts who rely primarily on theoretical or academic understanding, Aviran has confronted the actual, high-stakes challenges that arise in live crypto mining environments. He has rebutted experts holding multiple advanced degrees and numerous industry certifications with ease, relying entirely on his deep practical experience and proven results from managing real mining operations. He has written more than 1,000 pages of detailed operational documentation, processes, procedures, manuals, and technical reports covering every major aspect of cryptocurrency hosting operations. This includes logistics, infrastructure design and scaling, customer support, ASIC hardware maintenance, RMA processes, site reliability engineering, power and cooling optimization, inventory management, and performance metrics tracking. Aviran currently oversees more than 60 MW of mining capacity across multiple U.S. facilities, consistently maintaining high uptime, robust security, and scalable performance for ASIC hardware across Bitcoin and other ASIC-dependent networks. His enterprise foundation includes Tier IV data center operations at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and a Comcast National Data Center that housed more than 21,000 servers. He also brings direct, hands-on experience with the three largest ASIC manufacturers, Bitmain, MicroBT, and Canaan, spanning performance, warranties, RMA, and deployment practices. This combined background enables him to explain intricate technical and operational issues with precision and clarity in a courtroom setting. Ultimately, no amount of theoretical study can substitute for the insight gained from personally managing real profit-and-loss outcomes, daily operations, uptime requirements, equipment failures, power constraints, cooling challenges, and team performance under intense pressure. From the Courtroom: "Aviran was fearless on the stand, he never backed down under aggressive cross-examination and delivered his testimony with complete confidence. He understood his opinion perfectly and knocked it out of the park." -- Michael Kozlowski, ESBROOK P.C., Premier Cryptocurrency Attorney, Chicago, IL https://www.BTCExpertWitness.com Watch Interview on Bitcoin and Nancy Guthrie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJaFpEgdBwA
