🌱 Bitcoin mining offers a more promising environmental future than gold.

That’s the conclusion from CoinShares in a recent report comparing emission intensity across industries.

Measured in CO₂ per kWh, Bitcoin mining ranks lower than gold, banking, agriculture, and heavy industry — a result of its electricity-based design and growing integration with renewables.

Did you catch our AMA with Cointelegraph? 🎙️

Filip, who leads strategy and partnerships at Uminers, shared why Ethiopia is quietly turning into one of the most promising — and overlooked — regions for Bitcoin mining.

Here are the main takeaways:

📌 Why Ethiopia is on the mining map
It generates an enormous surplus of hydroelectric energy. Bitcoin mining offers a perfect way to monetize it.

📌 Is Ethiopian infrastructure ready for mining
The key elements — power plants, transmission lines, land for large farms — are already there. It’s now about putting it all together for mining.
Uminers is working to bridge the final gap by developing mining farms optimized for efficiency and uptime.

📌 What about regulations and government support
They view mining as a way to attract foreign direct investment, boost technology adoption, and create local jobs. The regulatory process is relatively simple, with the government actively encouraging mining projects.

📌 How Uminers is making it easier
The company supports mining from the ground up:

✅ ASIC supply from Bitmain, MicroBT, and more
✅ Hosting at hydro-powered sites with immersion support
✅ Design and construction of full-scale farms
✅ Crypto-backed financing options
✅ Mining containers and modular data centers

This May, we’re bringing Uminers to the heart of Bitcoin conversation — The Bitcoin Conference in Las Vegas.

Let’s talk mining at scale, energy infrastructure, and what it takes to stay competitive post-halving.

🗓 May 27–29
📍 Booth 1714, The Venetian

See you in Vegas!

🔋 Energy use per unit of hashrate keeps falling. Not slowly — exponentially.

CoinShares shows how efficiency gains in ASIC hardware continue to reshape mining economics.

Instead of wearing out, machines are simply outpaced by newer, more powerful models. Those who keep up — win more with less energy.

Happy Bitcoin Pizza Day, everyone! 🍕

15 years ago, Laszlo Hanyecz made history by trading 10,000 BTC for two pizzas.

Back then, it was $40. Today, those coins are worth over $1.1 billion.

A reminder of how far we’ve come.
