They discuss how AI data center demand is reshaping rack space availability, why Sazmining's 15% revenue share model becomes especially attractive during bear markets, and how jurisdictional diversification is the only real hedge when no country is truly safe for mining.</p> <p>The conversation gets into the realities on the ground: Paraguay's regulatory standoff and the government now mining confiscated rigs, Ethiopia's threatened power price hike that hasn't materialized, Norway's heat reuse operation in the Arctic Circle, and why enterprise buyers are loading up while retail sits on the sidelines.</p> <p>🛠 Sponsored by:</p> <p>Hashbranch – Hosting & hardware made simple </p> <p>Code: HASHRATEUP100 </p> <p><a href="https://hashbranch.com">https://hashbranch.com</a></p> <p>SoloMining – Home & solo mining made easy </p> <p>Code: HASHRATEUP </p> <p><a href="https://solomining.de">https://solomining.de</a></p> <p>Altair Technology – Buy Bitcoin Mining Solutions </p> <p>Code: HASHRATEUP </p> <p><a href="https://altairtech.io">https://altairtech.io</a></p> <p>📲 HashrateUp Hardware Deals </p> <p>Telegram: <a href="https://t.me/hashrateup">https://t.me/hashrateup</a></p> <p>📩 Learn Bitcoin Mining (Free 5 Day Course) </p> <p><a href="https://hashrateup.com/newsletter-sign-up/">https://hashrateup.com/newsletter-sign-up/</a></p>
