In this HashrateUp Africa Summit special, Jesse sits down with Nemo, Director of QRB Labs, to uncover the real challenges of importing ASICs into Ethiopia.
Recorded during the Africa Bitcoin Mining Summit 2025 in Zambia, this episode dives into the bureaucratic and regulatory maze miners face — from import licenses and customs bottlenecks to policies that slow down one of Africa’s most promising Bitcoin mining markets.
Nemo explains how Ethiopia’s import system has become the biggest bottleneck for scaling mining, why location-based energy pricing could be the key to unlocking growth, and what it will take for the country to fully realize its Bitcoin mining potential.
If you want to understand the tension between policy, energy, and innovation in African mining — this is the conversation.
