 “Bhutan has mined over $1 billion worth of bitcoin using its previously stranded hydropower resources”

We are so early 

Wait until every authority on earth realizes they can transform waste into unstoppable, unseizable money 

That will be the true gradually then suddenly moment

🇧🇹 
 It’s a beautiful thing some of the smaller countries are getting in early 
 Yes! What an amazing surprise from the kingdom of Bhutan. South America and Africa should take note. 
 What companies are helping make this happen? I think I might like to work with them. 
 Bullish, bullish, bullish!  
 #bitcoin allows energy production without  accessible grid ..   

what is the point of generating this energy if it can't be used by people ?  ..  I mean you are simply wasting  that energy in computing hashes  - kinda double whammy,  cuz you are not only wasting energy but compute also  ! 

The truth however is exact opposite .. when you create demand for energy generation equipment , the industry improves .. for example , if there is more demand for the phones , the phone  industry benefits ..  Same way if there is more demand for energy sector the sector improves ... 

The fact is entire energy sector ( including solar  and renewable)  is in serious glut situation because energy sector is stymied by the ailing and aging grid  ..  

In effect , #bitcoin serves as the monetary GRID for unlocking energy  production and thus revitalizing the most important industry

 I feel like we’re getting close to that moment. 

I love that Bhutan, the nation with a gross national happiness index, was so early though. Some sort of cosmic justice in there.  
 Very glad to read this. They're doing the right thing for sure. Hopefully I'll have the chance to visit the country some day. 
 The Hash wars have begun!!! An epic tale of new found peaceful war. Will be an epic story in the future 
 Think of the hydropower in the Congo basin. Africa needs bitcoin the most. 
 bhutan is fucking rich in bitcoin terms
great move for a little country ! 
 Bhutan clan ain’t nuthin’ to fuck with. 
 Genial, a ver si podemos verlo y participar de ellos✨✨ 
 Great example. Even El Salvador case, by means of thermal energy from volcanoes is also noteworthy.  
 not only that but there's an expiration date and a huge reward for moving early 
 I think they already know. they're just waaay over-leveraged in the legacy system socially and financially to care to admit it. also, probably why those under-developed nations can 'afford' to proceed with such efforts. it's poetic, given the oppression these 'poorer' nations have suffered.  
 Many will follow.  The early will prosper the most 
 Even the smallest countries have the opportunity to have their own currency. They don’t need to rely on any powerful country. Bitcoin gives everyone the opportunity. This is the way.
