Bhutan Found a Money Glitch | How a Tiny Kingdom Turned Hydropower Into Billions
A Think School case study on how Bhutan, which the narrator says is poor by geography, ended up mining and holding Bitcoin using surplus hydropower. He explains why Bhutan could not farm, manufacture or sell services, how seasonal river flow traps it in buying back power from India, and the lessons he draws about windfall money. Sponsor: CoinDCX, a crypto exchange, named in a mid-roll read with a disclaimer that crypto is volatile. PARTIAL COVERAGE: this note covers the opening, the CoinDCX read, why Bhutan stayed poor, the hydropower and winter-shortage section, the Bitcoin decision, and the closing lessons, and does not cover every part of the roughly 17 minute video. Figures such as electricity prices and Bitcoin holdings are the narrator's own and are not independently checked. This is a summary, not financial or investment advice, and the sponsor read is an advertisement.
