Just in: EEP (Ethiopia Electric Power) revenue from Bitcoin mining for the last year estimated to be $220 Million The revenue allowed EEP to progress building of the Transmission network with * 28,571 km new power lines were constructed and over * 8,700 substation bays installed The new infrastructure delivers energy to parts of rural Ethiopia that previously had no electricity access, Along with @gridless' micro-hydro/Bitcoin mining projects in Kenya, Malawi and Zambia this provides another tangible example of where Bitcoin mining is reducing energy poverty in Africa at scale. This is something much talked about, but which no other technology has managed to do at scale until now.

Bitcoin is 52.4% sustainably powered Mainstream media largely gets it Sustainability media gets it The scientific community gets it ...@okx doesn't get it, and lives in a timewarp, still falsely claiming Bitcoin is "often powered by fossil fuel" Choose a different exchange

This year I've been humbled to have able to help some clients in the Bitcoin world to - start up BPI, France (complete) - start a new Bitcoin hedgefund and attract wholesale investment (complete) - start up a state Bitcoin Council (complete) - gain investment from Ego-death Capital for new Bitcoin company (complete) - turn around a Bitcoin mining company (complete) - launch a Bitcoin bond company that scales up global restorative agriculture (in progress) I have capacity to coach one more person who has a vision and wants some help getting this to escape velocity.

Bitcoin mining in Ethiopia has now their Electricity utility's revenue by $55 Million (18% of its p.a revenue) As Ethiopian Tribune reports, Bitcoin mining achieves this by: "monetising surplus energy" (energy that would otherwise have been wasted) and that "this revenue has been strategically reinvested into infrastructure development ... where Bitcoin mining profits fund the expansion of transmission lines and distribution networks." These transmission lines bring electricity to rural Ethiopians. The Tribune reports that rural electricity access "remained at just 43% in 2021". By accelerating the buildout of new transmission lines, Bitcoin mining is bringing more rural Africans out of energy poverty.
