Bitcoin Mining and Circular Economies Are Changing Africa’s Future

In this episode, Nik Bhatia sits down with TBL’s correspondent in Africa, Noelyne Sumba, for an in-depth look at Bitcoin adoption across Africa, from thriving circular economies to major mining developments. Noelyne shares insights from her trip to South Africa, where Bitcoin-friendly communities are boosting local economies and major retailers are adopting BTC. The discussion moves to Ethiopia’s expanding hydro-powered mining sector and Kenya’s shifting stance on digital assets, setting the stage for a broader look at Tether’s role as a financial lifeline, Bitcoin’s impact on energy infrastructure, and the growing influence of U.S. policy on African adoption. As adoption and regulation evolve, Bitcoin’s influence across the continent continues to grow.

Elon Musk said that with his personal trading in Bitcoin,he is financially affected when the market drops, holding of cryptocurrencies isn't trading you might end up losing your funds📊📊📊

Day trading is the best way of making money in the market due to lack of experience which resulted in losing funds... But miss michelle hensley , restored hope she's a good woman ........

Just stumbled across your channel. Never heard of Noelyne before even though I know about her company. She made a good point that African leaders should be looking for ways to harness bitcoin to lift their people from poverty rather than blindly following the Western countries on AML KYC trash.
