BTC 挖礦資料成為馬斯克 2021 年推文的焦點

根據 Woocharts 的數據，比特幣採礦能源結構中超過 50% 來自永續能源。值得注意的是，特斯拉公司執行長 Elon Musk 在 2021 年發推文稱，這家電動車 (EV) 製造商將在一個條件下重新考慮 BTC 支付。

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, stated in 2021 that the company would begin accepting Bitcoin (BTC) again once there was confirmation that at least 50% of the cryptocurrency’s mining energy mix came from sustainable sources.

特斯拉執行長馬斯克 (Elon Musk) 在 2021 年表示，一旦確認加密貨幣的採礦能源組合中至少 50% 來自永續能源，該公司將再次開始接受比特幣 (BTC)。

Now, as per Woocharts, over 50% of Bitcoin’s mining energy mix came from sustainable sources.

現在，根據 Woocharts 的數據，比特幣採礦能源結構中超過 50% 來自永續能源。

This is inaccurate. Tesla only sold ~10% of holdings to confirm BTC could be liquidated easily without moving market.

這是不準確的。特斯拉僅出售了約 10% 的股份，以確認 BTC 可以在不影響市場的情況下輕鬆清算。

When there’s confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions.

當確認礦工合理使用清潔能源（約 50%）且未來趨勢良好時，特斯拉將恢復允許比特幣交易。

The Woocharts data, which is compiled by on-chain analyst Willy Woo and venture capitalist and author Daniel Batten, shows that Bitcoin mining is on a positive roll.

由鏈上分析師 Willy Woo 和風險投資家兼作家 Daniel Batten 編制的 Woocharts 數據顯示，比特幣挖礦正在積極發展。

According to the data, 56.8% of the Bitcoin mining energy comes from renewable energy sources such as solar, hydropower and wind energy.

數據顯示，比特幣挖礦能源的56.8%來自太陽能、水力發電和風能等再生能源。

Over the past few years, several private mining companies have announced plans to use green sources. Some of these companies include Compass, Hut 8 Mining, Riot, among others.

過去幾年，多家私人礦業公司宣布了使用綠色能源的計畫。其中一些公司包括 Compass、Hut 8 Mining、Riot 等。

As of writing, there has been no official announcement from Tesla or Musk about the car maker’s stand on BTC payments.

截至撰寫本文時，特斯拉或馬斯克尚未正式宣布該汽車製造商對比特幣支付的立場。

However, Woocharts data shows that renewable energy sources accounted for 50% of Bitcoin mining as early as July 2022.

然而，Woocharts 數據顯示，早在 2022 年 7 月，再生能源就佔了比特幣挖礦的 50%。

A report by Reuters also highlighted the increasing use of sustainable energy sources in Bitcoin mining, with業者 announcing plans to use green sources.

路透社的一份報告也強調了比特幣挖礦中越來越多地使用永續能源，業內人士宣布了使用綠色能源的計畫。

Bitcoin mining has been criticized for its energy consumption, which some have linked to the human civilization’s carbon footprint.

比特幣挖礦因其能源消耗而受到批評，有些人認為這與人類文明的碳足跡有關。

Apart from his consideration of BTC for payments at Tesla, it is speculated that XRP could be used in similar ways. Moreover, X (formerly Twitter), another company owned by Musk, could consider payments in crypto.

除了他考慮在特斯拉使用 BTC 進行支付之外，據推測 XRP 也可以以類似的方式使用。此外，馬斯克擁有的另一家公司 X（前身為 Twitter）可以考慮使用加密貨幣進行付款。

Under the Trump administration, the blockchain industry is expected to thrive in the US in 2025 and Musk is pro-crypto. Additionally, Trump’s close association with Musk could suggest that crypto will enter the mainstream economy sooner than expected.

在川普政府的領導下，區塊鏈產業預計將在 2025 年在美國蓬勃發展，而馬斯克是加密貨幣的支持者。此外，川普與馬斯克的密切關係可能表明加密貨幣將比預期更早進入主流經濟。

There are two reasons why Musk would allow Bitcoin or XRP payments at companies such as Tesla and X.

馬斯克允許 Tesla 和 X 等公司使用比特幣或 XRP 支付的原因有二。

Firstly, Musk promised to do this if the future trend of BTC mining energy mix is greener. Woocharts data shows that the trend is positive, check. He also said the existing miners must use 50% sustainable sources. Woocharts data shows this is not only the case, but more than 56% of the miners’ sources are sustainable, check.

首先，馬斯克承諾，如果比特幣挖礦能源結構的未來趨勢更加綠色，他就會這麼做。 Woocharts 數據顯示趨勢是積極的，請檢查。他也表示，現有礦商必須使用 50% 的可持續資源。 Woocharts 數據顯示不僅如此，而且超過 56% 的礦工來源是可持續的，請檢查。

Secondly, if the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve plan materializes, it would signal clear political acceptance of crypto. If, simultaneously, Trump pursues his aim to mine the remaining BTCs in the US, Bitcoin could soon command a status equivalent to the greenback. Consequently, not just Musk, but several businesses and institutions would accept BTC payments.

其次，如果比特幣戰略儲備計畫得以實現，這將標誌著對加密貨幣的政治接受。如果川普同時實現在美國開採剩餘比特幣的目標，比特幣可能很快就會獲得與美元同等的地位。因此，不僅是馬斯克，一些企業和機構也將接受比特幣支付。

An announcement that Tesla will/will not accept payments in bitcoin will confirm/deny the data on BTC mining.

特斯拉將/不接受比特幣付款的公告將確認/否認有關比特幣挖礦的數據。
