The kingdom of Bhutan has been quietly mining Bitcoin for years
I think it's kind of wild that you can just take a latent or otherwise inaccessible source of power and now convert it into money.<p>And it doesn't <i>really</i> matter what the price of BTC is for something like this, as the resource is more or less entirely unused.  It's just sitting there, doing nothing, so <i>any</i> value you can make out of it is better than the nothing they're already getting.
