The president of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, raised the possibility that the country of Eastern Europe could begin the cryptocurrencies.
“Look at this mining. More and more people are turning to me. If it is profitable for us, let’s do it. We have excess electricity. To do this cryptocurrency, etc.,” Lukashenko told Alexei Kushnarenko, the new Nation’s Energy Minister, according to the media of the media.
The news occurs when the United States government is studying the possibility of creating a National Strategic Cryptography Reserve that could include cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethher (Eth), Solana (Sun), Ripple (XRP) and Cardano (ADA).
Lukashenko mentioned the interest of the White House in cryptography. “You see the path that goes in the world. And especially the world’s biggest economy. Yesterday they announced that they will maintain [a crypto] Reserve, “he said.
“Therefore, there will be demand for them. Well, maybe we should do it ourselves,” Lukashenko said.
Belarus would not be the first nation to extract cryptocurrencies. The kingdom of Bután, with its abundance of hydroelectric energy, already has more than 100 megawatts (MW) of Bitcoins operational mining infrastructure and is ready to obtain another 500MW value of energy online. The country currently has $ 950 million in Bitcoin, according to Arkham Intelligence
El Salvador, on the other hand, uses geothermal energy to extract bitcoin, although in smaller quantities.
