The US is trying to secure a nuclear powered bitcoin mining facility as part of a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine

Radiant Energy (nuclear reactors in the size of shipping containers) just bought the Manhattan Project site!
About to go bazonkas!!
Putting that in a "peace" deal is absurd psychopathic normalization of theft. Associating Bitcoin with that is bad for Bitcoin. Hell, it's such an awful idea it's not even clear if the claim is real – IIUC all sources for that claim are Russian.
Russia clearly has no interest in a genuine peace deal. So making that claim may just be an attempt at sabotaging the idea of a peace deal.
As for Russia issuing loans to Bitcoin miners, again that's a negative for Bitcoin. Russia is a deeply evil terrorist state and anything that helps Russia stay afloat is not good. Unfortunately this will just fuel attempts to further regulate and ban Bitcoin; the Bitcoin community would do well to not publicize it further. No different than how it's not in our interests to showcase examples of serial killers who happen to use Bitcoin.
