Mining Stewardship Creating Value Jobs & Opportunities for Local Communities | Bitcoin 2026

That's the framing from moderator Susie Violet Ward (Bitcoin Policy UK) in this Bitcoin 2026 Energy stage panel on mining stewardship. Megan Brooks-Anderson (Blockware), Curtis Harris (Compass Mining), Mohammed Bakhashwain (Bitzero), and Harvey Blom (GRN Bi) dig into the trickle-down job effect at Rockdale, why Bitzero gives a portion of revenue directly to Norwegian municipalities, and where the industry went wrong in Kazakhstan and Ethiopia. A must-watch for anyone in Bitcoin mining, energy, or policy.Trade Bitcoin's next move on Duelbits Predict — get 100% cashback on your first bet, up to $100.
