Write to the EU ECON committee to oppose PoW ban and restrictions

On Monday, March 14th, the European Parliament ECON Committee will vote on MiCA, the comprehensive crypto regulatory proposal for Europe. At the last possible moment certain parties offered amendments to MiCA that would ban Proof of Work consensus protocols, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other popular blockchains and crypto assets in Europe, issuing an ultimatum to the rest of Parliament: “accept our bitcoin ban or we will oppose the entire MiCA package.”

In order to help stop this madness, contact the members of the ECON Committee and ask them to oppose any PoW ban or restrictions.

You can use the following tweet and you will find a list of the twitter profiles of the ECON Committee’s members. Tweet them the message, message them in twitter or write them via email.

Tweet 1:

An outright ban of proof-of-work assets will cripple the EU market, encourage circumvention of law, worsen consumer protection, and push the industry outside the EU – all with no benefit to the environment! Please ask the ECON Committee to oppose Amendments ALT A and ALT G.

Tweet 2:

In addition, you can read this paper by the ADAN association which explains why a ban or excessive restrictions on POW protocols in Europe would be inappropriate – https://adan.eu/wp-content/uploads/2022-02-08-Adan-EU-POW-Ban-Position-1.pdf

Or a twitter thread:

I am writing in regards to the vote for MiCA that is about to take place tomorrow and is looking to ban and limit the use of virtual assets that use proof-of-work consensus mechanism (like Ethereum, Bitcoin and many others). 1/6

I am a citizen of a EU member state and I wanted to ask you to oppose the incoming ban and these restrictions of virtual assets that rely on proof-of-work consensus mechanism. 2/6

An outright ban of proof-of-work assets will cripple the EU market, encourage circumvention of law, worsen consumer protection, and push the industry outside the EU – all with no benefit to the environment! Please ask the ECON Committee to oppose Amendments ALT A and ALT G. 3/6

These restrictions are bad for EU and will leave us behind from this technological revolution. The USA is already adopting PoW mining at scale and is proving that deploying proof-of-work mechanism at scale can even help stabilize and improve the electrical grid. 5/6

Please oppose these changes and let the industry evolve. 6/6

Or via email (in the comments there’s a list with all the emails that can be copied at once):

Please oppose these changes and let the industry evolve.
