Скачать или смотреть How Import Rules Stop Bitcoin Mining in Ethiopia w/ Nemo

In this HashrateUp Africa Summit special, Jesse sits down with Nemo, Director of QRB Labs, one of Ethiopia’s leading Bitcoin mining operations.

Recorded during the Africa Bitcoin Mining Summit 2025 in Zambia, this episode unpacks the realities of importing ASICs into Ethiopia — the bureaucratic roadblocks, shifting regulations, and why the country’s mining expansion has slowed despite abundant renewable energy potential.

Nemo shares firsthand insights on navigating Ethiopia’s complex import system, from investment license restrictions to customs bottlenecks that make bringing in mining hardware nearly impossible. He explains how excessive regulation, unclear tax rules, and repeated approval processes have turned ASIC imports into one of the biggest challenges facing African miners today.

We also explore how location-based energy pricing could unlock new growth, the tension between policy and innovation, and what it will take for Ethiopia to become a true Bitcoin mining powerhouse.

If you want to understand the real-world challenges of scaling Bitcoin mining in Africa’s most promising energy market — this is the conversation.
