To summarize/paraphrase: PoW cryptocurrency mining won't be banned in Norway because they "wouldn't want to inhibit innovation" and "it's not their job as politicians to decide what is and isn't useful for society" (WTF??)
Also extremely depressing to see that said political parties have bought into the bullshit about how blockchains are super useful technology, when in reality they've been completely fundamentally broken for a decade by now
