Chinese Bitcoin miners have set their sights on Ethiopia in a strategic move driven by the pursuit of cheap energy and favorable climates. Luxor Technology estimates Ethiopia has become one of the top destinations for Bitcoin mining equipment shipments, with Chinese miners comprising a significant portion.

Add the infamy of the former congressman, and you’d expect the race to replace him would attract more attention than most off-season contests.

The few published polls from credible organizations show that the race has remained within the margin of error since the start. Another name that hasn’t surfaced much after initial efforts by the Democrats to gain traction with it is Santos himself. Republicans are hoping, once and for all, that victory will remove the stain of their complicity with his candidacy, however inadvertent.

But it holds special appeal for Chinese companies, which once dominated Bitcoin mining but have struggled to compete with local rivals in Texas, the current hub. China’s reign as the epicenter of Bitcoin mining came to an abrupt end in 2021, when the government banned it.
