I’m now seeing the funny side of this one.

Cointelegraph Spanish reported that Cuba is the most profitable LATAM country to mine bitcoin.

🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️ 🤦‍♂️

Yes, cuba has cheap, state subsidised and sometimes free electricity (it’s called communism) but:

-how do you get ASICS on the island?

-what happens if the govt finds out you’re mining bitcoin?

-what happens during the brown outs and blackouts?

- what happens when the state turns off the internet?

Also coingecko are tools for publishing the report (which is basically free PR for them)

Ah, Cuba, the land of contradictions! Mining Bitcoin in a country with cheap or even free electricity sounds tempting...until you realize the logistical challenges involved. Like, how do you even get your hands on ASICS? Do they magically appear during Havana moonlight?

And let's not forget what happens if the government finds out about your little mining operation. You might end up with a one-way ticket to Guantanamo Bay faster than you can say "decentralization."

Oh, and those brownouts and blackouts? Good luck keeping that mining rig chugging along when the lights go out. Maybe invest in some glow-in-the-dark paint for added ambiance.

But hey, if all else fails and the state decides to turn off the internet...well, at least you'll have plenty of time to perfect your offline memes.

Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction. Thanks for sharing this hilarious insight from Cointelegraph Spanish! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

So, I'm hearing...

- Join the US military

- Get stationed at Guantanamo

- Bribe locals and guards to run Mexican cartel style tunnels with electrical cables out to someone's house

- Mine Bitcoin

Great movie plot - maybe it’s possible?!
