Comments on: FinTech in Norway: The Rise in Financial Innovation /fintech-in-norway/ All Things Norway, In English Sat, 13 Apr 2024 14:35:55 +0000 hourly 1 By: David Hernandez /fintech-in-norway/#comment-529184 Tue, 15 Aug 2017 12:40:51 +0000 /?p=17069#comment-529184 Hello David,

It is the first time I’m letting you a comment, so first of all thank you for your dedicated job and the news shared outside Norway, I love it (from France)!

About the fintech growth of interests, and above all the crazy boom(erang) about the blockchain and cryptocurrencies I’d like to add a subjective comment. I’m shocked the way these technologies are that much energy-consumming in an era willing to be GREEN (as much as I do). Last year, and I don’t want hurt anybody working hard on this new field, this blockchain technology consumed as much energy as Ireland (around 5Millions peoples living there) because of its mining process and is more or less not used by 99% of unexepert population.

Does anyone see any potential perspectives to this business?
To be honest, I’m sceptical about it. I don’t see how a new business cannot be green nowadays … And I hope I’m not the only one thinking that ????

Thanks again for the article,
David
