Iceland's crypto industry is making progress but has yet to fully exploit its unique advantages, says Gulli Gislason, CIO at Viska Digital Assets. The 2008 banking crisis opened Icelanders' eyes to cryptocurrencies, and interest grew when the country's own Satoshi Nakamoto, Baldur Friggjar Óðinsson, airdropped Auroracoin to the national population. Although Viska Digital has been managing crypto funds for two years, Gislason believes Iceland is still in the early stages of crypto adoption and education. However, the country's wealth of renewable energy makes it ideal for Bitcoin mining. Gislason is optimistic about the future, as he sees the industry becoming more mainstream.
