Libya is the first Arab country to mine bitcoin

Libya

The CBECI (Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index) data shows that in the Arab world, Libya ranked first with 0.13% of global mining. This followed the uproar over Bitcoin mining in Libya and its link to the country’s electrical situation.

Following is the ranking of the Arab countries:

Libya is in 1st place, with a 0.13 percent share.

UAE and Kuwait are in 2nd place with a 0.08% share for each nation.

Egypt and Jordan are in 3rd place with a 0.04% share for each nation.

Lebanon ranked 4th with a 0.01% share.

In particular, the price of Bitcoin in Libyan dinars is 192,912.13.

Bitcoin mining is the method by which new bitcoins are entered into the flow. It is also a critical factor in the maintenance and development of the blockchain ledger. It is executed using very sophisticated computers that resolve enormously complex computational math glitches.

Cryptocurrency mining is difficult, expensive, and only intermittently rewarding. However, mining has an attractive appeal for many investors involved in cryptocurrency because miners are satisfied with their work with crypto tokens. This may be for the reason that entrepreneurs see mining as “pennies from heaven”.
