Today we’re joined by Sven Hildebrandt and Frederik Vyncke of the European Bitcoin Mining Association (EBEA) to discuss the growing regulatory threat to Bitcoin mining in Europe. Sven and Frederik detail the mining landscape, how the new MiCA regulation will affect mining, the EBEA’s push to collect mining data and how other high intensity energy industries compare to Bitcoin mining in Europe.
