Paraguay Reconsiders Sweeping Bitcoin Mining Ban

巴拉圭重新考虑全面禁止比特币挖矿

Asunción, Paraguay – Paraguay is reportedly reconsidering a sweeping ban on Bitcoin mining that was introduced by the country's lawmakers just last week. With progress on the controversial bill seemingly grinding to a halt, officials are now looking to revisit the topic to ensure that a well-rounded decision is made.

巴拉圭亚松森——据报道，巴拉圭正在重新考虑该国立法者上周刚刚提出的全面禁止比特币挖矿的禁令。随着这项有争议的法案的进展似乎陷入停滞，官员们现在正在寻求重新审视这个话题，以确保做出全面的决定。

To that end, government officials have scheduled a public hearing for April 23 to facilitate a discussion on the matter. "In this hearing, we will analyze the benefits and risks that Bitcoin mining brings to the country, to determine which outweighs the other," Senator Lilian Samaniego said during a senate session on April 10.

为此，政府官员已安排于 4 月 23 日举行公开听证会，以促进有关此事的讨论。参议员 Lilian Samaniego 在 4 月 10 日的参议院会议上表示：“在这次听证会上，我们将分析比特币挖矿给国家带来的好处和风险，以确定哪一个更胜一筹。”

Bitcoin Mining in Paraguay

On April 4, Paraguayan lawmakers introduced a draft bill that would effectively ban Bitcoin mining in the country, at least for the next 180 days. At the time, they alleged that illicit crypto miners were harming the nation by stealing electricity.

4 月 4 日，巴拉圭立法者提出了一项法案草案，该法案将至少在未来 180 天内有效禁止该国进行比特币挖矿。当时，他们声称非法加密货币矿工通过窃取电力来危害国家。

"They are causing damage to the national electrical system, so we must act immediately," they stated.

他们表示：“他们正在对国家电力系统造成损害，因此我们必须立即采取行动。”

However, roughly four days later, Senator Salyn Buzarquis also presented a draft bill to the senate that advocated for supporting national and foreign investment in infrastructure.

然而，大约四天后，参议员萨林·布扎奎斯也向参议院提交了一份法案草案，主张支持国内外基础设施投资。

In the draft, he highlighted the economic benefits of selling Paraguay's excess energy to licensed Bitcoin miners and encouraged the Ministry of Industry to research the same.

在草案中，他强调了将巴拉圭过剩能源出售给获得许可的比特币矿工的经济效益，并鼓励工业部进行同样的研究。

Buzarquis also noted that the country's 45 licensed Bitcoin miners have the potential to generate $48 million for the National Electricity Administration (ANDE) by 2024.

Buzarquis 还指出，到 2024 年，该国 45 家获得许可的比特币矿商有潜力为国家电力管理局 (ANDE) 创造 4800 万美元的收入。

The senator didn't stop there, projecting that the figure could reach $125 million by 2025 as miners increase their hashrate by installing more equipment.

这位参议员并没有就此止步，他预计，随着矿工通过安装更多设备来提高算力，到 2025 年这一数字可能会达到 1.25 亿美元。

Overall, Senator Buzarquis suggested that selling excess energy from the Itaipu hydroelectric dam to miners, rather than exporting it to Brazil and Argentina, would have far-reaching positive implications not only for the energy sector but for the country as a whole.

总体而言，参议员布扎尔奎斯表示，将伊泰普水电站的多余能源出售给矿商，而不是出口到巴西和阿根廷，不仅对能源行业而且对整个国家都会产生深远的积极影响。

In addition to potentially saving ANDE from bankruptcy, the senator noted that the move could generate an annual $73 million for Paraguay and roughly $17 million in value-added tax for the treasury.

这位参议员指出，除了可能使 ANDE 免于破产之外，此举还可以为巴拉圭每年带来 7300 万美元的收入，并为财政部带来约 1700 万美元的增值税。

On April 10, Buzarquis' draft bill was approved by the senate, and it is likely the reason why lawmakers have paused the aforementioned ban, albeit temporarily.

4 月 10 日，Buzarquis 的法案草案获得参议院批准，这可能是立法者暂时暂停上述禁令的原因。

Paraguay's dilemma comes as Bitcoin miners prepare for the highly anticipated Bitcoin halving event of 2024. Scheduled for May 2024, the event is expected to slash the block reward for miners from 6.25 BTC ($442,000) to 3.125 BTC ($221,000).

巴拉圭陷入困境之际，比特币矿工正在为备受期待的 2024 年比特币减半事件做准备。该事件定于 2024 年 5 月举行，预计会将矿工的区块奖励从 6.25 BTC（442,000 美元）大幅削减至 3.125 BTC（221,000 美元）。
