We Have to Defend Bitcoin Mining in Norway. Here is why: 1/4 In April 2024, the Norwegian government introduced a legislation to regulate data centers in a way that effectively bans #Bitcoin  mining in the country. This is setting a huge precedent. So far, all attempts to ban bitcoin mining have been referred to the practices of authoritarian/dictatorial countries such as #China. But in the case of #Norway, this country is considered one were bitcoiners teach human rights defenders about freedom technology routinely. A country known for defending human rights, the Nobel Peace Prize, will be also known to be against Bitcoin mining, which affects not only miners, but all users, developers and investors.

4/4 What can be done and what we want to organize/need your support for: 1. Urgently gathering/collecting in the written submission to the government and parliament testimonials of Bitcoin miners in #Norway to confront public opinion and change narratives attacking #Bitcoin  mining working both locally and nationally. 2. Brining testimonials, conduct in person and public meetings about best practices of Bitcoin mining advising Norway government and inform society how they can benefit from it.
