In this HashrateUp Africa Summit special, Jesse sits down with Erik Hersman, CEO and Co-Founder of Gridless — the company pioneering community-powered Bitcoin mining across Africa.
Recorded in Zambia after the Africa Bitcoin Mining Summit 2025, Erik explains how Bitcoin mining transforms stranded hydro energy into productive load that powers villages, stabilizes mini-grids, and drives rural electrification.
They also discuss Outpost Power, Gridless’ new energy arm, the economics of revenue sharing, and why traditional financiers still struggle with ideology over economics when it comes to Bitcoin in Africa.
If you want to understand how Bitcoin turns wasted watts into wealth — this is the conversation.
