Ethiopia will quickly learn how fast revenue drops from bitcoin mining with these changes in price from EEP. Reports were $220M earned Oct 2024-2025 Miners will turn off or leave and earnings will disappear.

The last bitcoin won't be mined for over 100 years. But 99% of the supply will be issued by 2035. Are you ready?
