With Africa's rise in share of global Bitcoin mining hashrate now just under 4%, the question is how this hash power is being used and by whom ๐
In my latest for Forbes Crypto, I look into Africa's "Hashrate Exfiltration Problem" and future outlook.
"Put simply, โhashrate exfiltrationโ is the use of a region's hashrate by a foreign entity or power in furtherance of its interests, often at the region's expense. [...] The legacy of resource extraction in Africa may see another unfortunate renaissance in Bitcoin mining if care is not taken."
"Africaโs resilience against all these odds will set the global template for building resilient money and energy infrastructure, ensuring a future of hope and abundance for all."

It is much easier to focus on what you don't have than to cherish what you do.
Shift your gaze. True strength lies in celebrating what you have; use that to fuel your focus and build from there.
If your principles are conditional, then you never had them in the first place.
