Pakistan's New Energy Strategy: The government releases 2000 MW of surplus electricity resources for Bitcoin mining and artificial intelligence infrastructure development. In recent strategic negotiations, Pakistan discussed a cooperation framework with a leading exchange, involving a potential investment scale of approximately $2 billion. This move repositions mining as an energy monetization scheme, marking the government's beginning to view the crypto industry as a new engine for economic growth. By activating excess electricity capacity, Pakistan can improve energy utilization efficiency while bringing foreign exchange income and technological development opportunities to the country. This government-level policy support has a demonstrative significance for the mining industry across South Asia.

Pakistan's recent moves are quite wise; revitalizing idle electricity for mining is indeed a viable path. A $2 billion investment scale? South Asia is about to explode. But how stable can 2000 MW really be? A change in energy policy could spell disaster. If this succeeds, will India also follow suit? Energy monetization sounds good in theory, but in practice, we'll see. Basically, it's resource-scarce countries exchanging electricity for US dollars, got it. Government endorsement can sometimes be a risk signal for retail investors. South Asian miners are ecstatic, but global difficulty is likely to surge again. With such fierce computing power competition, can small retail investors really still make money?

Pakistan Iron's move is really clever—monetizing excess electricity, and the government finally understands --- 2 billion USD? Can this really be implemented? Feels like another PR stunt --- A new era of South Asian mining begins, India can't sit still haha --- Energy monetization sounds good, but cheap electricity doesn't help. Aren't they worried about policy reversals? --- 2000 MW sounds easy, but building infrastructure is where the nightmare begins --- As always, the government support lasts at most three years before changing, can't bet on it --- Speaking of which, the real money is still in exchanges. Pakistan is just here to be a bride's dress --- Now South Asia has competitiveness, will miners migrate en masse? --- Feels like more empty talk. Let's wait until they actually mine coins before commenting

This move is quite bold, directly selling electricity as a commodity. Pakistan's idea is quite ambitious, but is 2000MW really enough? South Asia is about to get competitive; India probably can't sit still. Damn, $2 billion injection, are they serious? The term "energy monetization" sounds quite comfortable; it's definitely better than just burning electricity costs.
