I tried to read it but couldn’t find exactly where it says it’ll ban bitcoin mining? I know they want to but couldn’t find the sentence.
NORWAY IS GOING TO BAN BITCOIN MINING WITHOUT PUBLIC CONSULTATIONS -
WE NEED TO ACT NOW
Norway's Ministry of Digitalisation and Public Administration responded to @ODFoundation that it "has no plans to conduct a public consultation" on a ban on cryptocurrency mining.
There is no doubt that the ban designed to target #Bitcoin mining. Unfortunately, that's a stance of the @Stortinget and the Norwegian government.
đź”´ Why we should protect our #freedomtech Bitcoin in #Norway NOW:
(1) Norway is fully integrated in the European Single Market throught the European Economic Area (EEA) and Schengen Agreement. It means Norway can provide its legilsative approach as an input for new legislation for the EU/EEA both:
- during the preparatory phase, when the @EU_Commission is developing proposals;
- during work of expert groups and committees of the European Commission;
- submitting proposals and comments to European Free Trade Association on upcoming legislation.
(2) As a co-founder of the @OECD , Norway sets an example of regulation worldwide and provides its legislative recommedations for global standards.
(3) Norway has historically been a place to meet, share experiences and educate human rights defenders and bitcoiners from around the world.
Norwegian goverment will present its investigation a ban on cryptocurrency mining by the end of 2024.
đź”´ What we should do together to prevent Bitcoin mining ban:
(1) Repost this post and join our #BTC Coalition to educate local communities and media about social benefits of Bitcoin mining in Norway and worldwide;
(2) Help us pool resources and best practices to convince Norwegian politicians and media to explore the social benefits of Bitcoin to prevent this repressive regulation;
(3) If you are a Norwegian citizen: write a letter to your legislator and government asking for public consultation and providing arguments about the social benefits of Bitcoin mining for Norway.

Have a look at the very end of the article:
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” .

đź”»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”.

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.

Ja det er flaut, helt klart! At de plutselig skal begynne å differensiere på ting. Hvis det går den veien tenker jeg de angrer sårt den dagen «it catches on» og de havner bakpå.
