norska Bitcoin Gruvförbud slogs ned
Ett lagförbud bitcoin mining, authored by the communist party in Norway, was struck down by a majority vote in the Norwegian parliament.
A bill seeking to ban energy intensive mining for cryptocurrencies like bitcoin was struck down by the Norwegian parliament on May 10. The communist Red Party who authored the bill was supported by both the Green Party and Socialist Left party. The minority also attempted to create an electricity tax for energy intensive cryptocurrency miners.A Bitcoin bill seeking to eliminate energy intensive cryptocurrency mining was rejected in Norway with a majority vote passed by the Norwegian parliament on May 10, according to a translated report from local newspaper E24.
Förslaget surfaced earlier this March by the Red Party (Rødt) which formed in 2007 from a merger between the Red Electoral Alliance and the Workers' Communist Party. The Red Party outlines one of its primary goals as achieving a classless society, and was supported by the Socialist Left Party and the Green Party.
“We are obviously disappointed with the majority here. In the future, we will electrify large parts of society. If we do not want to carpet Norwegian nature with wind power, we must actually prioritize what the power is to be used for,” Rødt's Sofie Marhaug said to E24.
Marhaug continued to cite a need to prioritize energy usage through what would be standard central planning for far-left political parties. In fact, at one point the Rødt party attempted to charge bitcoin gruvarbetare a avgift utöver standardpriserna på energimarknaden.
Vanliga hushåll, företag och offentlig sektor betalar en elskatt på 2.51 dollar per kilowattimme, branschen har en sänkt elskatt på runt 0.07 dollar per kilowattimme.
"Men det verkar som att majoriteten i Stortinget kommer att överlåta prioritet till marknaden och ge notan till norska elkunder", sa Marhaug.
The majority on the other side of the matter reportedly said that it is "in principle questionable to discriminate against data centers on the basis of a politically defined societal benefit.”
Those against the ban discussed a lack of confidence in authority reportedly stating "It is no coincidence that cryptocurrency experienced a particular upswing in the wake of the financial crisis in 2008, when confidence in national and international banks and financial institutions was at a bottom level.”
