Oops yes, can't keep track of such nations in south america.

BTW you are right about Cheen infiltration into Kalif state. The entire tech crowd is beholden to them, thambi Sundar of Google is executing some secretive program for the Cheens. Most of the maal in electronics have a tag of Made in China. In Meta land Zucks has a chinese wife and can speak chinese. All the VCs in menlo park are somehow connected to cheen money. Most high end homes are snapped up by ex residents of China and their kids are in premium schooling throughout. Ports and warehouses in Kalif are filled with goods from China direct.

Where is the hardware infrastructure (servers, etc) that supports this crypto industry located?

Any reason it can't be visited by the sort of ordinance that "hit, but did not target" Kirana Hills?
Does Pakistan have a cryptocurrency industry? I remember something in Dawn that appeared soon after the Paki crypto deal with Trump - that crypto remains illegal for Pakis.

This is from May 30:
ISLAMABAD: Amid growing official promotion of Bitcoin adoption, both the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the Ministry of Finance (MoF) on Thursday said that cryptocurrency remains banned in the country and all its transactions are illegal under current regulations.

After increasing of FATF scrutiny the Pakis have been forced to increasingly turn to crypto.

Looking for Pak crypto + FATF led to this:
https://www.cryptopolitan.com/pakistan- ... to-sector/
- Pakistan has launched the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA) to license and oversee crypto service providers.
- The Pakistan crypto market has over 40 million users and $300B in annual trading volume.
- The government also allocated 2,000 megawatts of electricity for Bitcoin mining and plans to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve.
....

PVARA will function as an independent regulatory body tasked with licensing, supervising, and monitoring Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) across Pakistan. Ensuring compliance with anti-money laundering (AML) laws, managing cybersecurity risks, and safeguarding users participating in crypto-related transactions also fall under the regulatory body’s purview.

The establishment of PVARA brings Pakistan a step closer to aligning its regulatory environment with international frameworks, particularly those outlined by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

It is high time that India 1. converts all its FCA held in western currencies to gold as quickly as possible, and 2. impose a retaliatory 50% tax on revenues (yes, I mean gross revenues, not profits) US big-tech generate in India. In response, if the US social media withdraw their services in India, it would be even better. All the social media platforms can be replaced by desi ones. Koo was a pretty good alternative to twitter/X, but failed because it could not pull people away from twitter as twitter remained the primary platform and they had their followers there. If twitter quits India, then only can Indian equivalent succeed. Same goes for other platforms. In addition, each social media account should be aadhar-linked (not displayed, but kept in database).
