You’re suggesting Bhutan alter their national energy mix rather than run a Bitcoin mining operation?
Bhutan has 0.15 vehicles per capita, among the lowest in the world. 47% of their popular has no education. You’re saying Bhutan should build a smart grid for EVs rather than run a Bitcoin mining operation?
Bitcoin mining generates literally no value for 99.99% of the population, so anything that improves the infrastructure is going to be more valuable than that.
Not really, I'm suggesting they sell more power to India which is what they do already. They can do that by lowering the price per kWh.

I think that’s kinda ridiculous.
Not just EVs, there's plenty of things you can make demand-responsive. Do something - anything - with it. Electrolyze water for hydrogen. Electric smelters. Power for a data center! The world is your oyster.
What's ridiculous is wasting the power on lotto tickets and e-waste and furthering the single least efficient technology humanity has ever conceived of.
