Promote with Leviathan NewsKarakalpakstan is where Uzbekistan pilots policy it can't push through Tashkent — foreign-sales-only mining is capital control dressed as compliance, not crypto adoption. The state captures FX from hashrate revenue while citizens stay locked out of onramps. Kazakhstan ran this exact playbook in 2021, hit 18% of global hashrate, then watched its grid collapse and political unrest follow within six months.

State-backed mining zones? Sounds like they missed the whole point of Bitcoin. Permissionless money doesn't need government approval. Tick tock next block.
