Here are some facts and statistics about Bhutan I pulled out:
- Bhutan holds 1/3 of its entire GDP in Bitcoin, 13k Bitcoins in total
- The 13k Bitcoins is more than 2x El Salvador's holdings, and El Salvador has over 6 million citizens compared to 750k for Bhutan. So "BTC holdings per capita" is close to 20x for Bhutan compared to El Salvador
- Bhutan started getting into the crypto space in 2019, with BTC mining. This is before the hype phase in 2021.
- They mine BTC through hydroelectric power (clean energy). Once again ahead of the game and they don't need to spend millions of money/stonks like SaylorMoon or El Salvador. End 2021, they quietly started construction on the largest ever mining site while the buzz was around El Salvador buying BTC.
- So basically they are using BTC as a true "revenue stream" where a large part of their holdings are truly in BTC. You can think of Bhutan as your typical crypto degen, but instead as a crypto bro it is a country version of it.
Why do y'all think despite all these great use cases and being the first country ever to truly hold an enormous % of their GDP in Bitcoin, Bhutan does not have the attention?
