The Cuban regime approved in the Official Gazette a new scheme that forces citizens to pay in dollars (USD) to access so-called “photovoltaic power,” in the midst of constant blackouts and an increasingly severe energy crisis. According to the regulation, people will have to shell out from 300 USD for just 0.5 kW, up to 6000 USD for 10 kW, depending on the contract term. The payment is made directly to the Cuban Electric Union, which will use those funds to "finance the system." In exchange, the State promises to reduce monthly electricity consumption (125 kWh for each kW contracted) and buy possible energy surpluses, though total control remains in the hands of the state system. The scheme does not mean citizens can freely install their panels, but rather pay for capacity within the State’s electrical grid, in a model that prioritizes capturing foreign currency. In a country where most earn in pesos, the measure leaves millions of Cubans out, shifting the cost of the energy crisis directly onto the population. #grownostr #news #cuba

Not your keys, not your coins… even for the state Clifton Collins, an Irishman convicted of cultivating and selling cannabis on a large scale, purchased approximately 6,000 BTC between 2011 and 2012 using illicit funds. He divided the holdings across 12 wallets, with 500 BTC in each, and hid the printed private keys inside the cap of a fishing rod case. He was arrested in 2017. While he was in prison, his landlord threw all his belongings into a landfill—and the keys vanished. For nearly 10 years, the wallets remained dormant and were labeled "Clifton Collins: Lost Keys" on Arkham Intelligence. Yesterday, March 24, 2026, Ireland’s Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) (with technical support from Europol )successfully gained access to one of the 12 wallets. They moved the 500 BTC and deposited the funds into Coinbase Prime. This was not achieved through a brute-force attack on the seed phrase (which is practically impossible), but likely thanks to an encrypted backup or advanced forensic techniques that authorities had possessed since the initial seizure. There remain 5,500 BTC (valued at over $390 million) across the remaining wallets. Authorities are confident they will be able to recover the rest using the same technique. #grownostr #freedom #bitcoin
