One important issue discussed was the role of flawed academic research in spreading misinformation about Bitcoin.

讨论的一个重要问题是有缺陷的学术研究在传播有关比特币的错误信息中所扮演的角色。

Andrew Bailey, a professor at Yale-NUS College and senior fellow at the Bitcoin Policy Institute, highlighted a specific issue in an influential academic paper that inaccurately reported BTC emissions data.

耶鲁-新加坡国立大学学院教授兼比特币政策研究所高级研究员安德鲁·贝利在一篇有影响力的学术论文中强调了一个具体问题，该论文不准确地报告了比特币排放数据。

“There is a unit error in the chart. It has not been corrected,” said Bailey, regarding the paper that continues to be cited as factual. He added that such mistakes can have a lasting impact on public understanding of Bitcoin.

“图表中存在单位错误。它尚未得到纠正，”贝利在谈到这篇继续被引用为事实的论文时说道。他补充说，此类错误可能会对公众对比特币的理解产生持久影响。

Journalists often lack the time to verify or deeply understand academic sources, further spreading these inaccuracies, according to Bradley Rettler, associate professor of philosophy at the University of Wyoming.

怀俄明大学哲学副教授布拉德利·雷特勒表示，记者往往缺乏时间验证或深入了解学术来源，从而进一步传播了这些不准确的信息。

“Journalists have to write quickly. They don't have the time to really understand the subject matter deeply,” said Rettler, highlighting the reliance on academic papers by journalists who may not have the resources to become subject-matter experts.

“记者必须快速写作。他们没有时间真正深入了解主题，”雷特勒说，他强调了记者对学术论文的依赖，而他们可能没有资源成为主题专家。

Craig Warmke, a member of the Bitcoin Policy Institute, warned that misinformation has real-world implications, particularly in the realm of policymaking.

比特币政策研究所成员 Craig Warmke 警告说，错误信息会对现实世界产生影响，特别是在政策制定领域。

“This pattern has led to, especially in Sweden to tax the BTC mining industry out of existence,” said Warmke, also highlighting an attack on software developers working on technologies that promote financial privacy.

Warmke 表示：“这种模式导致（尤其是在瑞典）对 BTC 采矿业征税而消失。”他还强调了对致力于促进金融隐私技术的软件开发人员的攻击。

While academia has historically worked against Bitcoin, it is time for academics to start supporting the cryptocurrency, according to Warmke.

Warmke 表示，虽然学术界历来反对比特币，但现在是学术界开始支持加密货币的时候了。
