Oddbean new post about login | logout 2/4 Why Norwegian policymakers want to ban #Bitcoin mining: - they “don’t want cryptocurrency [Bitcoin] mining companies” since they look at them as „actors who are looking to "shop" for cheap electricity in Norway“ and “(...) businesses seeking to exploit Norway for cheap energy extraction”. - since they don't see positive uses cases of Bitcoin mining and Bitcoin in general, the want to ban it. Norwegian policymakers want to keep only data centers “to secure storage of images and communication”, or „which are important to society, and the society-serving computer industry is important to Norway“. https://www.vg.no/nyheter/i/9zgyxq/regjeringen-slaar-ned-mot-krypto-datasenter-uoensket-i-norge https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-miners-face-pressure-norway-071921322.html?guccounter=1
