Deep dives
Bitcoin mining as a solution to waste energy in Africa
Bitcoin mining is being used in Africa to address the issue of wasted energy and expand access to electricity. By partnering with energy companies in remote areas, Bitcoin miners are able to purchase excess energy that would have otherwise gone to waste. This not only benefits the miners by providing them with a low-cost energy source, but it also lowers the price of electricity for local communities. This approach has the potential to bring electricity to areas that previously lacked access, improving living conditions and enabling economic opportunities.
