Arravind Prabu, CEO of CryptoBilis | How “Village Mining” and Solar Power Could Decentralize Bitcoin in Southeast Asia | Bitcoin.com News Podcast

Arravind Prabu, CEO of CryptoBilis (@cryptobilis), joins Bitcoin.com’s Regina C (@ReginaC3214) to explore a groundbreaking vision for Bitcoin mining in Southeast Asia — one powered not by massive data centers, but by solar panels and smartphones.

Prabu introduces the concept of “village mining”, a model that enables individuals and rural communities to mine Bitcoin using renewable energy, transforming mining from an industrial pursuit into a tool for financial inclusion and decentralized wealth creation.

The conversation dives deep into the friction between banks and crypto in Southeast Asia, how local regulations shape adoption, and why commerce — not speculation — will define the region’s next wave of Web3 growth. By reimagining Bitcoin mining as a grassroots movement, CryptoBilis is helping communities generate income and participate directly in the digital economy.

• How “village mining” empowers communities through decentralized wealth creation
• Why solar energy could democratize Bitcoin mining in emerging markets
• The tension between traditional banks and crypto startups in SEA
• Why everyday commerce will drive the next crypto adoption wave
• The vision for sustainable, inclusive Bitcoin infrastructure

A must-listen for Bitcoin advocates, sustainability pioneers, and Web3 builders exploring how renewable energy and decentralization can expand economic freedom across emerging markets.
