Have a look at the very end of the article: https://www.stortinget.no/no/Saker-og-publikasjoner/Publikasjoner/Innstillinger/Stortinget/2023-2024/inns-202324-383s?all=true#m2 Also check public statements: 🔻According to the Digitalization Minister Karianne Tung: „The purpose is to regulate the industry in such a way that we can close the door on the projects we do not want” . https://www.vg.no/nyheter/i/9zgyxq/regjeringen-slaar-ned-mot-krypto-datasenter-uoensket-i-norge 🔻Government ministers claim that: - they want “serious actors” - data centers “to secure storage of images and communication”, for example – „who are important to society, and the society-serving computer industry is important to Norway“; - they don't know “how many data centers operate cryptocurrency mining in Norway today, but they are going to get an answer to that”; - they “don’t want cryptocurrency 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”. https://finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-miners-face-pressure-norway-071921322.html?guccounter=1 https://image.nostr.build/55dacc50fc1ac0a959f5ba2b73b0d40c0c31d0ab360e75244317229bcb9d0d62.jpg

Thanks! I understand. Yeah, I just thought they had made the decision that they will ban it, but seems they are just asking parliament to consider a ban? Anyway, it is such a clown world it would not surprise me if Norway banned itself from bitcoin.

På denne bakgrunn fremmer flertallet følgende forslag: «Stortinget ber regjeringen utrede et forbud mot utvinning av kryptovaluta i Norge og komme tilbake til Stortinget senest i forbindelse med fremleggelsen av statsbudsjettet for 2025.»

Skjønner, jeg leste «going to ban» men de ber jo kun Stortinget utrede et forbud. Så ikke helt bestemt at se «skal» forby. Men det er jo clown world, ikke vanskelig å trekke slutningen.🌎🤡

Ingenting avgjort enda, men der er jo flaut at det diskuteres. Heldigvis har vi ett parti som taler dem imot, Venstre. Jeg støtter allikevel det demokratiske prinsippet, politikere får lov å foreslå lover. Det er jo jobben deres, og det norske folk har valgt dem for å gjøre det. nostr:note1g8g7jv76msnn0y0mk0zkk8aquvuhx5ra9tleqqqr6393hd3sm9sslx3dwj
