In the Virunga National Park in Congo, a precious land endowed by nature, a remarkable practice is quietly unfolding. Using hydropower as a basis, exploring the possibility of Bitcoin mining has made people re-examine the prospects of mining and sustainable coexistence.

Hydropower: A Vibrant Source of Energy

The winding rivers in the park are like the veins of nature, injecting vitality continuously. Using these water resources, Virunga National Park has realized its ambition of hydropower. The water rumbles down, turning huge turbines, generating clean and renewable energy, and bringing a touch of vitality to the entire ecosystem.

Bitcoin Mining: A New Exploration of the Digital World

However, this quiet land hides a new vitality. The Bitcoin mining machines roar, and the digital codes interwoven by computing power seem to be calling for unknown exploration. Based on hydropower, Bitcoin mining has brought the possibility of digital economy to the park, making this land glow with splendor.

Sustainable coexistence: harmonious coexistence of ecology and economy

Mining and nature conservation are often seen as incompatible, but in Virunga National Park, this opposition seems to be breaking down. Hydropower provides sustainable energy security for Bitcoin mining, and the development of the digital economy has also brought new economic growth points to the local area. Ecology and economy seem to have found a possibility of harmonious coexistence here, which makes people full of expectations for the future.

Social impact: the driving force of technology

This practice is not only an exploration of the local environment, but also a promotion of technological development. As an emerging industry, Bitcoin mining is gradually changing people's perception of the digital economy, breaking the boundaries of traditional industries, and bringing new development opportunities to the local society. The power of technology is affecting this land and the people here in a brand new way.

Future Outlook: Exploring More Possibilities

As the symbiotic practice of hydropower and Bitcoin mining continues to deepen, people are full of expectations for the future. Perhaps this is just the beginning, and more possibilities are waiting to be explored. In this land endowed with unique charm by nature, the dream of mining and sustainable coexistence is becoming a reality step by step.

In the Virunga National Park in Congo, the symbiotic practice of hydropower generation and Bitcoin mining is not only a technical attempt, but also an exploration of the concept of sustainable development. The story here may inspire more people to explore the harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, technology and the environment. Let us look forward to the future of this land becoming better because of this practice.

Coin Circle (120Btc.com) News: Virunga National Park in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa, has lost tourism income since 2018 due to the rampant militants, Ebola virus and the new coronavirus. Today, the national park uses the Bitcoin mine set up by the large hydropower station in the park to sell Bitcoin to pay for the basic expenses of the park and carry out infrastructure such as roads, water and electricity. Bitcoin mining, which has always been criticized by environmentalists, seems to have started a positive cycle of green energy here.

Beautiful World Heritage

Virunga National Park was established in 1925 and is the first national park in Africa. It has volcanoes, tropical rainforests, and endangered mountain gorillas. It was designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.

Nominated for Best Documentary at the Academy Awards in 2014, Virunga captures the natural beauty and biodiversity of Virunga, as well as the complex political and economic issues surrounding oil exploration and regional armed conflict, and the touching story of national park rangers risking their lives to protect the forest and mountain gorillas.

Mining and Sustainability Coexist

Now, rangers have another task, which is to guard the world's first Bitcoin mine operated by a national park. Relying on the park's hydropower resources for power generation, claiming to be betting on clean energy, can Bitcoin mining coexist sustainably with environmental protection?

After four years of disease outbreaks, epidemic blockades and bloodshed, Virunga is in urgent need of funds, and the government can only provide one percent of the park's operating budget, leaving Virunga to fend for itself, thus placing a heavy bet on cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin's much-criticized problem of large power consumption does not seem to cause trouble in Virunga. Because Virunga uses its natural hydropower to build power plants for the park and local residents. Electricity supports new jobs and businesses, such as coffee cooperatives and chia seed production. Of course, there is also Bitcoin mining. Then the funds from the sale of Bitcoin can not only be used for park expenses, road water and electricity and other infrastructure, but also support micro-loan entrepreneurship needs and help more local residents.

In addition, Virunga Park also cooperated with the NFT project CyberKongz, and auctioned the gorilla NFT through Christie's, earning $1.2 million for the park.

Bitcoin believer-MicroStrategy founder Michael Saylor also tweeted that Bitcoin is the hope of Congo!
