🇧🇹 Bhutan, one of the world’s most closed-off countries, is slowly opening up and turning to digital technology. Under the leadership of King Jigme Wangchuck, the country launched the “Digital Bhutan” program to improve infrastructure, digital literacy, and grow its IT sector.
In 2023, it was revealed that Bhutan’s state investment fund had secretly been mining Bitcoin using cheap hydropower — a clean energy source the country produces in abundance and exports to India. As a result, Bhutan accumulated 11 879 BTC, placing it among the top countries in the world by Bitcoin reserves.
In 2023–2024, Bhutan expanded its crypto efforts, partnering with international mining companies to build new data centers powered entirely by hydropower.
At the same time, Bhutan is cautiously exploring other blockchain uses: the central bank is testing a digital version of its national currency (CBDC) with Ripple, and blockchain applications are being studied for land registry and agriculture.
Bhutan is one of the first countries to focus on “green” mining and sees crypto as a tool for sustainable development — while staying true to its cultural identity.

The project is supported by the Dubai Land Department, the Central Bank of the UAE, and the Dubai Future Foundation. Its goal is to attract global investors and increase liquidity in the real estate market.

🕵️♂️ A crypto user lost $2 600 000 in stablecoins — within three hours, he fell victim twice to the "zero-transfer" tactic.
Here's how the attack works: scammers send a zero-amount transaction from the victim's address to a fake address, which then appears in the transaction history. Later, the victim, assuming the address is "trusted," mistakenly sends real funds to it.

🍕 15 years ago, on May 22, 2010, programmer Laszlo Hanyecz bought two Papa John’s pizzas for 10 000 BTC — since then, the crypto community has celebrated Bitcoin Pizza Day.
On the BitcoinTalk forum, he asked if anyone could exchange 10 000 BTC ($25 at the time) for two pizzas, and four days later he announced that the deal had been completed.
Today, 10 000 BTC is worth $1.1 billion.

🔍 Google researchers found that breaking RSA encryption now requires 20 times fewer resources — less than 1 million qubits instead of 20 million — and could take just a couple of days.
Current quantum machines like IBM's Condor (1 121 qubits) are still far from that level, but the technology is advancing rapidly, while BTC’s security remains unchanged.
