If Paraguay's lawmakers pass a recent bill to ban cryptocurrency mining, the country's economy could lose over $200 million annually. Reportedly, Paraguay lawmakers submitted a bill recently proposing a ban on businesses such as Bitcoin mining for at least 180 days. Jaran Mellerud, co-founder and chief mining strategist of Hashlabs Mining, said that if the country had 500 megawatts of legal mining equipment and the operating cost was $0.05 per kilowatt-hour, banning Bitcoin mining could cause Paraguay to lose over $200 million annually.
