🇧🇴 Amid record-high inflation, a collapsing boliviano, and a shortage of U.S. dollars, small businesses in Bolivia’s Cochabamba are increasingly turning to cryptocurrencies for everyday transactions.

Crypto ATMs are popping up across the city, beauty salons offer discounts for Bitcoin payments, and locals use Binance accounts to buy everything — even fried chicken.

With daily USDT trading volumes reaching $600 000, crypto is quickly becoming a practical alternative to national currency.

🇧🇹 Bhutan has entered the top three countries with the largest state-held Bitcoin reserves — now totaling $1.3 billion, equivalent to nearly 40% of the country's GDP.

Unlike other nations, the kingdom did not purchase BTC on the open market or seize it through confiscations. Instead, since 2020, it quietly built six mining centers powered by surplus hydroelectric energy.

Profits from Bitcoin’s price growth allowed the government to fund public sector salary increases and boost foreign currency reserves. The project has become part of Bhutan’s broader strategy to integrate cryptocurrencies into its economy and tourism sector.

🌕 In 2012, Bitcointalk user JohnGalt bought a Casascius Bitcoin bar containing 100 BTC for $500. On May 13, 2025, he finally decrypted the private key and cashed out the bitcoins for around $10 million.

He said he had hesitated for years due to the bar’s collectible value and the pressure of holding something so valuable, but the soaring price of BTC ultimately pushed him to act.
