The President of Belarus, Aleksandr Lukashenko, raised the chance yesterday that the Japanese European nation may start mining cryptocurrencies.
“Look at this mining. More and more people are turning to me. If it is profitable for us, let’s do it. We have excess electricity. Let them make this cryptocurrency and so on,” Lukashenko instructed Alexei Kushnarenko, the nation’s new minister of power, in response to Belarusian media outlet Belta.
The information comes because the U.S. authorities is finding out the potential for making a nationwide strategic crypto reserve that would embrace cryptocurrencies equivalent to bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), solana (SOL), ripple (XRP) and cardano (ADA).
Lukashenko talked about the White Home’s curiosity in crypto. “You see the path the world is going. And especially the largest economy in the world. They announced yesterday that they will keep [a crypto] reserve,” he stated.
“Therefore, there will be demand for them. Well, maybe we should do it ourselves,” Lukashenko stated.
