Bhutan is the perfect example of how Bitcoin mining, sustainability and social benefits can go hand in hand. 🇧🇹
The small landlocked country in the Himalayas has been mining Bitcoin with excess hydro power for quite some time now.
Instead of exporting excess energy to India at whatever price India is willing to buy it, they can now decide between mining Bitcoin or selling the excess energy to India, depending on the price.
The returns from Bitcoin mining have allowed Bhutan to double the salaries of civil servants, serving as an economic lifeline for a struggling economy.
Fun fact: Bhutan is the country with the largest Bitcoin holdings per capita, not Bitcoin country El Salvador, nor any other country in the world.
Maybe Bhutan is the true Bitcoin country?
