President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko said that there are more people in the country who propose to develop cryptocurrency mining, and invited the government to speed up the modernization of energy networks.

Lukashenko made it clear that he was taking an example with the United States, where the “largest economy of the world” is created by the state reserve of cryptocurrencies.

“Look for this mining. More and more people are contacting me. If it is beneficial for us, let’s do it. We have an excess of electricity. Let them make this cryptocurrency. Moreover, you see how the world is going on and especially the largest economy of the world, ”Lukashenko said at a meeting with government members.

He ordered officials to “eliminate bureaucratic barriers” and tell him what will be done in the country for the development of the crypto industry. According to Lukashenko, Belarus is required to update 5700 km of electric networks, taking into account the growth of energy demand by people and industry.

Earlier, the head of the Main Directorate of Digital Development of the Pre -Resurrection of the Investigative Committee of Belarus Andrei Molko said that no one forbids the residents of the republic to change cryptocurrency through foreign platforms.
