🇵🇾 The Central Bank of Paraguay (BCP) has officially incorporated cryptocurrency mining into its national GDP calculations for the first time. With the sector now moving hundreds of millions of dollars, the BCP is recognizing its tangible financial impact on the domestic economy. Paraguay currently commands roughly 4.3% of the global hashrate, driven by its massive hydroelectric surplus. This formal inclusion poses a definitive question for other energy-abundant nations: should digital compute be viewed as simple energy consumption or a strategic economic pillar? #Paraguay #BitcoinMining #Bitcoin #Energy(TheEnergyMag)
