It is known and actually my country is starting to turn into a new spot to setup mining farms. Due to the cold weather and low electricity costs the mines are being set up and this is for sure happening with the government knowing, crypto is welcome and embraced here 100%.
Its good when every country try to accept bitcoin in their place but it could not happen if the country ban bitcoin or crypto.
In my country, cryptocurrency is free to use as digital asset for trading but its banned for using it as payment.
