How to Buy Cryptocurrency in Mongolia
Buying cryptocurrency in Mongolia
Mongolia has turned into a cryptocurrency hub for mining as companies struck by the 2018 Bitcoin crash discover opportunities in a country which offers promising conditions – cheap electricity and cold water. In an underground structure located in the state capital, Ulaanbaatar, there have been sightings of large amounts of crypto mining equipment. This location is one of the two Ginco (an e-wallet company based in Tokyo) headquarters in the city. Energy price is a crucial factor that affects profits from crypto mining. With prices at around a third of Japanese rates and lower than those in China, Mongolia offers the possibility of higher profits for crypto miners. The country’s cold weather also facilitates the process of cooling the mining computers. According to Ginco, Mongolia is considered one of the very few countries where miners are still able to generate decent profits from crypto mining, along with Sweden and the U.S.
