In Zambia's remote bushlands, private company harnesses excess hydroelectric energy to mine bitcoin while providing crucial revenue for local power infrastructure. This symbiotic relationship enables affordable electricity for 15,000 residents while demonstrating how cryptocurrency mining can catalyze development in underserved communities.

Truly epic.
