Norway
Norway combines abundant hydropower with a relatively tech-savvy population, and its sovereign oil fund has even gained indirect bitcoin exposure through the companies it owns. Bitcoin is legal, but not legal tender, and the krone remains the official currency. Gains on bitcoin are taxed at 22% as capital income, and exchanges must comply with anti-money-laundering rules. Home-grown exchange NBX has served the local market from Oslo. Oslo's meetups and a small set of bitcoin-accepting businesses keep the scene active.
