Bhutan has begun mining Bitcoin using electricity generated from hydroelectric power plants, positioning its cryptocurrency assets as environmentally friendly. In contrast, Kuwait has banned Bitcoin mining, citing concerns over excessive energy consumption and illegal activities. The Kuwaiti government reported that approximately 1,000 sites were found to be mining cryptocurrency illegally, exacerbating strain on the country's power grid and causing blackouts. Crypto mining has been illegal in Kuwait since July 2023, but authorities have recently issued new warnings to enforce the ban. Meanwhile, MARA Holdings, a Bitcoin mining company, has scaled up its operations to 25 megawatts using flare-gas-powered mining, contributing to the mitigation of 3.5 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions annually by utilizing previously flared or vented gas as fuel.

Bitcoin mining is currently facing profitability challenges as the hashprice has dropped below the critical $40 per petahash per second (PH/s) level, tightening margins for miners. The Bitcoin network's mining difficulty recently increased by 1.42% to 123.23 trillion, while the hashrate declined to 868 exahashes per second (EH/s), pushing block times closer to 10 minutes and 57 seconds. The next difficulty retarget, scheduled for May 4, could reduce difficulty by approximately 8.7%. Public Bitcoin miners reportedly sold off 42% of their March production amid declining profitability and a sector valuation downturn. Transaction fees have also plummeted to a three-year low, now contributing less than 1.2% to the average block reward. Despite these short-term pressures, some analysts see potential for growth in Bitcoin mining. Meanwhile, Kuwait has banned Bitcoin mining, citing concerns over excessive energy consumption and illegal activities, stating that mining operations are straining the country's power grid and causing blackouts. This regulatory action adds to the challenges faced by the Bitcoin mining industry globally.

Lebanon has banned the screening of Disney's live-action remake of 'Snow White' due to the inclusion of Israeli actress Gal Gadot, who plays the Evil Queen. The decision was made by Lebanon's Interior Minister Ahmad Al-Hajjar, following a recommendation from the country's film and media watchdog. This action aligns with Lebanon's policy of boycotting productions linked to Israeli figures, particularly amid ongoing tensions with Israel and recent Hezbollah attacks that have resulted in civilian deaths.
