Colombian President Gustavo Petro stated, "Colombia's Caribbean region could grow into a bitcoin (BTC) mining hub in the future." He added, "Venezuela and Paraguay are currently attracting investment in bitcoin mining based on their abundant clean energy resources, and Colombia also possesses similar potential. However, as fossil fuel-based cryptocurrency mining can exacerbate climate change issues, any future mining projects must involve consultation with the Wayúu indigenous community, and they should be included as joint participants."
