This is just a proposition from the committee. They ask the government to make a law that bans mining, but it still has to be discussed in our Storting before it actually becomes law. 

The discussion in the Storting IS  PUBLIC. 

I appreciate your concern and engagement, but I find this post a bit speculative. I’m embarrassed of our politicians low bitcoin knowledge, but this is just democracy in practice. 

Most people in Norway have similar low knowledge, and they have elected politicians that support their everyday concerns. 

I think we should focus on building knowledge in general, arranging bitcoin meetups, spreading the gospel of Satoshi, stay humble and stack sats.

 We were asking about public consultations on that issue - it is a part of the regulatory process. We got an answer that they don’t have any plans to conduct such consultations. 

My post about that - no public consultation while preparing governmental report on the ban of mining cryptocurrencies. 

The fact that parliament will discuss publicly already written negative report of the government, without input of industry and end-users, doesn’t give you much.
