"And though Norway’s Oil Fund, one of the top sovereign wealth funds in the world with more than $1.3 trillion in AUM, only holds bitcoin indirectly (through its 2% stake in MicroStrategy), it could be the next state government to buy it.

"Earlier this month Aker ASA, a 180-year-old Norwegian industrial holding company with ownership in oil and gas services companies, created a unit dedicated to investing in bitcoin and has about about $58.6 million in it now. "

there was an article the other day that claimed mining bitcoins used up something like 2 major countries’ worth of electricity, per day.

So if governments are looking to buy, they need to factor that burden negatively into their ‘climate change’ accountability

you might consider posting that to the entire list. it’s really good. also not very technical, and only introduces jargon sparingly.

personally, I’m especially interested in the energy/power development angle, and this is one of the better/simpler explanations....
