Excuse me, exactly how did you become an expert on Norwegian bitcoiners? And how did you learn about the lacking will from us to defend ourselves? I will politely ask you to GFY and stick to your own freedom fight.
There is an active group of Norwegian bitcoiners, many of us met first at OFF 2022 (when I also think I met you in person). We are not many, somewhere between 50-100 persons. There are active writers among this group, who have been published in national media several times. I know that this case have been discussed amongst this group.
Unfortunately not many Norwegians are active on Nostr, and I don’t follow the debate on X anymore. The total number of active nostr users are are probably less than 20 persons.
Most Norwegian bitcoin holders are unfortunately not interested in the political and philosophical side of BTC, they’re only in it for NGU.
The same seems to be the case with many large bitcoin miners. They seldom attend meetups and have not been very visible in the community in general.
In my opinion this political case should be fought by the bitcoin industry themselves. They need to step up and take responsibility. We others will continue doing what we do, building knowledge and our community, writing to media and talking all sorts of people (including politicians).
I myself will continue to spread the Satoshi gospel with the work I do with different podcasts and audio books. And I will ensure that Norwegian hashrate doesn’t drop to zero with my mountain cabin miner.

I don’t need to be expert on Norwegian bitcoiners. PoW is very efficient mechanism - you can just see that there is no defence for bitcoin, it is just a fact.
Your message, if I put it more politely, is “leave me alone and let it be as it is” doesn’t address my points, just exposing even more your ignorance.
I don’t ask anyone to attend meetups, or doing abstract things in a social media. It will not help.
Instead, as an expert on introducing reforms in different jurisdictions, Im raising awareness that:
🔹There is a clear need to provide with a well grounded expertise policymakers, journalists and communities.
🔹There is a clear necessity to ask policymakers to conduct public consultation before introducing the draft of the restrictive regulation.
It is not about your books or podcast or even your mountain cabin mining.
#FreedomTech should not be in a grey zone just because of someone’s arrogance - and I don’t care if it is arrogance of bitcoiners, who don’t care or prefer to move to other jurisdictions, or regulators who are dare to conduct public consultations and learn about #bitcoin.
I hope it’s more clear now.
