But where will Norway source their compulsory, unpaid labor if not from private prisons clogged with drug war causalities?

We never did that in the first place :-)

I read it as snark directed at the U.S., not Norway.

Might be, but it could be read to mean that we already do that.

wait till they outlaw bitcoin. prisons will fill up again.

Except how do you prove someone owns bitcoin?

same way they prove someone is downloading and possessing copyrighted content.

I don't think you understand how bockchains work.

I don't have to have anything physical or digital to control coins on the blockchain I just need to have a way of accessing my private/public keys.

One example would be a brain wallet, nothing but a phrase in my memory.
