What is it with Fridays and dips?

That upgrade to fikka in a hipster joint has got to you.
No more cheap delicacies for you at the discount store.
What is going on in Sweden with the director of finance supervisory authority and the lapdog in environment protection agency trying to get the EU to ban bitcoin. Because energy use might see Sweden fail to meet its climate nonsense target.
Seems more to be that Swedes are keeping cash in their microwaves rather than in the bank at negative interest rates that is worrying the financial guy Erik Thedéen.
So in future we might be saying Sweden bans Bitcoin again! All panic.
The protectors of the fiat system has published an opinion piece where they urge the government to ban or regulate mining in Sweden and, if possible, also in the EU.
Pointing to the shortage of energy and the environmental factor as a cause for their concern.
Most likely nothing will come of this, there is an election coming up and I believe this to be a kind of "finger in the wind" to see if it's something they (the social democrats and the greens) can use to get votes in the upcoming election.
They didn't mention anything about the gigantic server halls that facebook et al. have in the north though. I suppose they run on unicorn farts and are really really necessary for humanity.
Keep in mind, it's not a proposed bill, it's just an opinion piece by two director generals published in one of the major (left leaning) news papers (Dagens Nyheter).
