Ethiopia’s Bitcoin Mining Boom 

Welcome back to the Mining Pod! We’re joined by Ethan Vera of Luxor Tech and Kal Kassa of BitcoinBrr to discuss mining Bitcoin in Ethiopia! Earlier this summer we heard reports of mining picking up in the Eastern side of Africa, particularly with well connected Chinese Bitcoin miners sourcing hydro-powered contracts. Ethan recently visited so we brought him on with Kal to discuss what’s actually happening, the costs versus North American mining and how to invest in the area (if you’re willing to take the risk!)
