Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Today, the CEO of Hashlabs Mining, Jaran Mellerud, joins Colin to discuss Bitcoin mining in Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. Bitcoin mining on the European market is almost exclusively confined to these Nordic countries – this episode explores why. Jaran and Colin discuss power markets in these countries, why mining has gotten more expensive in Sweden and Norway, the toothless attempt to ban mining in Norway, how bitcoin miners are helping with district heating in Finland, and more.
