The game is changing. It's no longer just about nations stacking Bitcoin in their reserves—some are going straight to the source and mining it themselves.
From the Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan quietly running hydro-powered mining farms to Iran leveraging energy surpluses for state-operated rigs, governments are entering the mining arena. This isn't a fringe experiment anymore. It's a calculated geopolitical move.
What does it mean when sovereign states start competing for block rewards? Could this reshape how we think about monetary sovereignty in a decentralized world?
