CoinDesk Podcast Network - THE MINING POD: The Truth About the Russia Bitcoin Mining Ban

Today, we break down what the Russia bitcoin mining ban actually means with Denis Rusinovich. 

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Denis Rusinovich, a partner at the Cryptocurrency Mining Group, speaks to Colin about the particulars of the Russia bitcoin mining ban. News broke in December that Russia would be banning bitcoin mining in 10 regions, effective January 1, 2025 through March 15, 2031. Only the ban is not an all-out ban like the first wave of reporting would have us all believe.
