Парагвайдын сенаторлору президенттин биткоин казуу мыйзамына вето койгонун четке кагышты

Paraguayan lawmakers this week rejected the president’s veto of a major терминалдарда mining regulation bill. 

A total of 33 senators on Wednesday voted to reject President Mario Abdo Benitez’s decision to veto the bill, which wants to regulate Bitcoin тоо-кен казып алуу in the South American country. 

In July, Paraguay’s legislature бекитилген шахтерлор өлкөдө иштеп жаткан учурда алар кайда турганын билүүгө мүмкүндүк бере турган так салык жана ченемдик базаны түзүү боюнча мыйзам долбоору. 

President Benitez then кетирүүнү it, claiming mining uses high amounts of energy but brings relatively small employment benefits. 

But this week’s vote shows that senators are dead set on regulating the industry which currently operates in a legal gray area in the Latin American nation. According to a release from the country’s Congress, one lawmaker, Senator Enrique Salyn Buzarquis, мындай деди: it was “better to formalize” the industry so they can tax it. 

Congressman Daniel Rojas added that “new forms of employment” could be brought to Paraguay through a well-regulated crypto industry. 

Lawmakers think Paraguay can become a crypto hub because it is increasingly attractive to Bitcoin miners—mainly due to its cheap electricity. 

Bitcoin mining, which is the business of adding and verifying blocks of transactions to the asset’s public blockchain, is often done on an industrial scale and requires lots of computers—and energy. 

Big crypto companies are looking to Paraguay to set up shop: Canadian mining giant Bitfarms last year мындай деди: ал өлкөгө 10 МВт жашыл гидроэнергетиканы камсыз кылуу үчүн жыл сайын жаңылануучу энергияны сатып алуу келишими менен беш жылдык ижарага кеңейтилип жаткан.

The bill will now go to Paraguay’s Chamber of Deputies for discussion.
