Tribes that rely on Colorado River water — and the complex set of rules that govern it — are worried about how President Donald Trump’s executive orders and the ongoing legal questions about them will affect their water access. President Trump froze federal funds for the Inflation Reduction Act. Even after a judge reinstated those funds, tribes are concerned about the viability of some water conservation efforts going forward. Those water access issues are becoming increasingly important because of long-term trends showing significantly less water available in the basin. Valentin Rousseau joins the pod to discuss his new report that forecasts Bitcoin’s hashrate for 2025 through 2027.

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, Valentin Rousseau (a.k.a as Muad Dib on X), a bitcoin mining researcher who's worked with Hash Labs and the University of Cambridge, joins us to discuss his Blockspace report on hashrate forecasting for 2025, 2026, and 2027. Valentin breaks down his methodology for predicting Bitcoin's hashrate trajectory, analyzes hashrate deployment schedules for public miners, unpacks how tariffs could slow U.S. hashrate growth – and thus the Bitcoin network’s growth as well, and answers the question: will we still see 1 zetahash in 2025?
# Notes:
- Projected ~1000 EH/s by end of 2025
- Forecast: 1700 EH/s by end of 2027
- Public miners = 37% of global hashrate
- US tariffs reduced 2025 forecast by 60 EH/s
- Private miners leading international expansion
- ASIC prices flattened since 2022 crash
