Bitcoin in the bush - the crypto mine in remote Zambia

Quick Summary:

Bitcoin miners will go to remote locations to take advantage of cheap electricity.

North of Zengamina another bitcoin mine slurps up excess energy from a hydro-electric plant run by Virunga National Park in the Congo.

Soon the excess energy the mine was harvesting will be sold back to the national grid and mining bitcoin will no longer be profitable at Zengamina.
