Norway has one of the most progressive views on energy and its commercialization in the world. They actively try to export their socialistic approach to energy commercialization to the rest of the world.

It is not surprising that they view bitcoin mining negatively given that bitcoin mining is difficult for any State apparatus to administer and manage.

It will be difficult for them to maintain this position over time but I am bearish on Norway being on the leading edge of jurisdictions embracing bitcoin mining.
