ðŸ‡ŽðŸ‡ą Greenland is being considered as a potential key mining hub, says Andrew Tate.

Washington is increasing its political focus on the island, aiming to leverage its cold climate and low-cost energy to reduce BTC mining expenses. This could allow the U.S. to accumulate Bitcoin at below-market costs and gain a strategic advantage.

If implemented, such a project could impact global BTC supply and shift the balance of power in the crypto market.

ðŸ–Ĩ A miner said that with 27 ASIC machines his current revenue is about $4800 per month (0.053019 BTC), while net profit after electricity and hosting costs is just over $1000.
