You have a right to wait until it is banned and then what? Complain? Move to other jurisdictions? Or you think that with all negative publicity and just few voices in defense negative government report will transform suddenly into a positive law?
In a free society you have privileges to correct wrong regulatory opinions. You can defend your industry, or just wait to see if really someone attempts to limit it. It is your privilege.
I don’t have such privileges and have the only financial tool to lose/be negatively labeled and affect lives of many people I defend from financial exclusion/repression.
And all of that just because there is almost no will from Norwegian bitcoiners to defend themselves.

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.
