⚡🇧🇾 Exciting developments in Belarus as President Alexander Lukashenko announces plans to create a national cryptocurrency to leverage the country's energy surplus! Speaking after the presidential election, Lukashenko emphasized that this initiative is a collaboration between IT specialists and the government, aiming to facilitate payments in cryptocurrency. "It suits us to make payments in cryptocurrency," he stated. With Belarus facing sanctions and challenges in international payments, this digital currency could become a vital tool for transnational trade, similar to Russia's digital ruble initiative. While Belarus isn't known for abundant energy production, the recent installation of a second reactor at the Belarusian nuclear power plant could change that, potentially meeting over 40% of national energy needs! 🔋🌍 As the landscape of digital assets evolves, what are your thoughts on Belarus's move towards cryptocurrency?
