Pakistan & El Salvador Strike Groundbreaking Bitcoin Alliance – A New Era for Crypto Diplomacy

Two nations rewrite the crypto playbook with an unexpected partnership.

When El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as legal tender in 2021, critics called it reckless. Now Pakistan—a nuclear-armed nation with 220M people—joins the experiment.

The mechanics: Lightning Network integration, mining infrastructure sharing, and (of course) tax incentives for crypto firms. Because nothing says "financial sovereignty" like offshore mining rigs.

Why it matters: This creates the first intercontinental Bitcoin corridor between Global South nations. Watch Western central bankers clutch their pearls.

The cynical take: Two debt-laden governments found something shinier than IMF bailouts. Hodl on for the volatility.
