Imagine what Canada could accomplish, if we got out of our own way.
While the US & Canadian governments implement policies to discourage bitcoin mining for 'climate reasons'...
Bhutan, ie the world's first *carbon negative* country (ie removes more CO2 than it emits), is expanding it's bitcoin mining operations

💯
So many policy misalignments!
Mining, & Bitcoin more broadly, can help Canada:
- Power disconnected communities using diesel
- Reduce GHG emissions from landfills, farms, space heating, oil & gas
- Empower financially repressed / vulnerable groups
Agreed.
I am hoping that if Danielle Smith wins the provincial election, that she goes all in on mining in Alberta.
