Ah, Bhutan! The land of happiness, dragons, and now, blockchain wizardry! 🧙‍♂️✨ This tiny kingdom, nestled in the Himalayas, has decided to swap its Polygon party hat for an Ethereum crown. Why? Because when it comes to self-sovereign identity (SSI), only the best will do for their 800,000 citizens! 🎩🤯
Imagine this: every Bhutanese citizen, from the monk in the monastery to the farmer in the fields, will soon authenticate their identities and chat with the government via Ethereum’s blockchain. It’s like giving everyone a golden ticket to Willy Wonka’s Web3 factory-except this time, the Oompa Loompas are writing smart contracts! 🍫💻
Ethereum: The New National ID BFF
Aya Miyaguchi, the Ethereum Foundation’s big cheese, spilled the beans on X (formerly Twitter, but let’s not dwell on that). The integration is done, and all resident credentials will be cozy on Ethereum by Q1 2026. The announcement? A star-studded affair with Vitalik Buterin, Prime Minister Tshering Tobgay, and Crown Prince Jigme Namgyel Wangchuk. Talk about a crypto royal rumble! 👑🎉
Blockchain IDs are all the rage these days, thanks to zero-knowledge proofs keeping things hush-hush. Bhutan’s digital ID journey started on Hyperledger Indy, took a detour to Polygon in 2024, and now it’s Ethereum all the way. It’s like upgrading from a tricycle to a spaceship! 🚀🚲
Miyaguchi gushed, This isn’t just a win for Bhutan-it’s a giant leap for Web3-kind! And during Ethereum’s 10th birthday? Perfection! 🎂✨
Aww, how sweet. Almost as sweet as Bhutan’s Bitcoin stash.
Royal Crypto Hoarders
Speaking of Bitcoin, Bhutan isn’t just dabbling-they’re swimming in it! With 6,371 BTC, they’re the sixth-largest government holder, right behind bigwigs like the US and China. Not bad for a country smaller than most cities! 🤑🌍
And get this: they teamed up with Bitdeer Technologies to raise $500 million for a hydro-powered mining facility. Yes, you heard that right-green energy and Bitcoin mining in harmony. Take that, naysayers! 🌊⚡
So, what’s next for Bhutan? World domination? Probably not. But with Ethereum IDs and a crypto treasury fit for a king, they’re definitely the coolest kids on the blockchain block. Bow down, mortals! 🙇‍♂️💎
