“Look at this mining. More and more people turn to me. If it is profitable for us, let’s do it, “said President Lukashenko.” We have excess electricity. Let them do this cryptocurrency and so on. ”
President Lukashenko touched the way the United States are embracing the mining industry under President Donald Trump and also creating a strategic reserve of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies: “In addition, see the path that the world is following. And above all the largest economy in the world. They announced yesterday that they will keep [Bitcoin & cryptocurrency] in reserve. “
“Therefore, we will be requested for them. Well, maybe we should do it alone, “continued Lukashenko. “Well, we attract some investors, we sell them electricity, even if I do not exclude it. But we have to do it alone. There are such proposals. I think you pass this bureaucracy and you will signal what must be done. “
