INSIDE AFRICA’S SECRET OFF-GRID BITCOIN MINES – Joe Nakamoto
Bitcoin mining… in the African bush?! In this documentary, I travel deep into rural Kenya to uncover a powerful story: how Bitcoin mining is helping bring electricity to remote villages that the national grid forgot.
With no customers, energy companies had no incentive to build infrastructure here — until Bitcoin miners showed up. Now, thanks to Gridless and HydroBox, stranded renewable energy is being transformed into a tool for development.
Bitcoin really is changing the world where it’s needed most.
