阿根廷央行舉辦獨特的藝術展以挖掘比特幣

阿根廷中央銀行（BCRA）在其赫克托·卡洛斯·詹森歷史和錢幣博物館舉辦了一場獨特的藝術展，其中比特幣成為焦點。

The Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) has unveiled a unique art exhibition at its Héctor Carlos Janson Historical and Numismatic Museum with Bitcoin in the spotlight. The exhibition, titled “Art, Artificial Intelligence and the Future of the Economy,” marks the first instance globally where actual destroyed currency from various nations is showcased alongside operational Bitcoin miners within a central banking institution.

阿根廷中央銀行（BCRA）在其赫克托·卡洛斯·詹森歷史和錢幣博物館舉辦了一場獨特的藝術展，其中比特幣成為焦點。該展覽名為“藝術、人工智慧和經濟的未來”，標誌著全球首次將各國實際銷毀的貨幣與中央銀行機構內正在運行的比特幣礦工一起展示。

The innovative display, curated by Argentine artist Alberto Echegaray Guevara, integrates tangible elements of obsolete paper money with the dynamic presence of Bitcoin and Ethereum mining operations. “We have developed the exhibition together with the Central Bank. It tries to show different types of currencies. I have gone to more than 17 central banks in the last twelve years, where I have destroyed money. The message has to do with the disappearance of paper money and the new financial systems, which are more linked to technology,” Infobae, an international Argentine online newspaper, cites Echegaray Guevara.

這項創新展覽由阿根廷藝術家阿爾貝托·埃切加雷·格瓦拉 (Alberto Echegaray Guevara) 策劃，將過時紙幣的有形元素與比特幣和以太坊採礦作業的動態呈現融為一體。 「我們與中央銀行共同舉辦了這個展覽。它試圖顯示不同類型的貨幣。在過去 12 年裡，我去過超過 17 家中央銀行，在那裡我毀了錢。這項訊息與紙幣的消失和新的金融體係有關，而新的金融體系與科技的連結更加緊密。

The artist emphasizes the shift towards decentralized financial systems intertwined with artificial intelligence. “For the first time we are going to find in a museum of a Central Bank, Bitcoin and Ethereum coins. What I want to tell is where financial and monetary systems are going, which are heading towards decentralized systems, which have a close link with artificial intelligence,” he stressed.

藝術家強調了向與人工智慧交織在一起的去中心化金融系統的轉變。 「我們將第一次在中央銀行博物館中發現比特幣和以太幣。我想告訴的是金融和貨幣體係正在走向何方，正在走向去中心化系統，而去中心化系統與人工智慧有著密切的聯繫。

Echegaray Guevara, who identifies himself as a crypto-artist, destroyed currencies from 17 different central banks, including significant amounts such as a million Swiss francs, a million euros, a million reais, and 100 million rubles, encapsulating each within transparent spheres.

自稱加密貨幣藝術家的埃切加賴·格瓦拉(Echegaray Guevara) 銷毀了17 個不同央行的貨幣，其中包括100 萬瑞士法郎、100 萬歐元、100 萬雷亞爾和1 億盧布等巨額貨幣，並將每一種貨幣都封裝在透明的球體中。

Despite Argentina's continued reliance on physical currency, Echegaray Guevara highlighted a notable digital shift in dollar usage: “Although in Argentina still uses a lot of paper money, if we talk about dollars, less than 10% are printed, the rest is completely digital.”

儘管阿根廷繼續依賴實體貨幣，但埃切加賴·格瓦拉強調了美元使用方面顯著的數位化轉變：「儘管阿根廷仍然使用大量紙幣，但如果我們談論美元，印刷的美元不到10%，其餘的完全是數位化的。

The exhibition not only showcases destroyed physical currencies but also features operational miner hardware that has generated over 250 BTC and 3,000 ETH in more than three years.

該展覽不僅展示了被銷毀的實體貨幣，還展示了在三年多的時間裡產生了超過 250 BTC 和 3,000 ETH 的可運行礦機硬體。

Highlighting the prominence of Ethereum, a sphere containing 800 real ETH is signed by Vitalik Buterin, the creator of the blockchain. Additionally, the exhibit integrates works from pioneering generative artists of the 1960s, such as Gyula Kosice, Julio Le Parc, and Miguel Angel Vidal, who initially harnessed computational power for their artistic endeavors.

一個包含 800 個真實 ETH 的球體由區塊鏈創建者 Vitalik Buterin 簽名，凸顯了以太坊的重要性。此外，展覽還融合了 20 世紀 60 年代先鋒生成藝術家的作品，例如 Gyula Kosice、Julio Le Parc 和 Miguel Angel Vidal，他們最初利用運算能力進行藝術創作。

The inauguration ceremony, attended by Santiago Bausili, the President of the Central Bank, alongside government officials, prominent Argentine collectors, and key figures from the crypto sector, signifies the event's importance. “This exhibition seeks to lead visitors to reflect on the transition process from an economy centered on physical money to one where cryptocurrencies and digital assets are beginning to gain ground,” stated the organizers.

中央銀行行長聖地亞哥·鮑西利（Santiago Bausili）以及政府官員、阿根廷著名收藏家和加密貨幣行業的關鍵人物出席了就職典禮，這表明了該活動的重要性。主辦單位表示：“本次展覽旨在引導參觀者反思從以實物貨幣為中心的經濟向加密貨幣和數位資產開始普及的經濟的轉型過程。”

Set to run until March 2025, the exhibition aims to become a landmark in both the artistic and financial domains. The unveiling has elicited significant reactions from the global Bitcoin community. Anthony Pompliano, Founder & CEO of Professional Capital Management, commented via X: “The central bank of Argentina opened an ‘art exhibit’ yesterday that includes bitcoin mining equipment actively mining bitcoin. This is the first central bank in the world I am aware of to be openly mining bitcoin. The future is coming very fast.”

該展覽預計將持續至 2025 年 3 月，旨在成為藝術和金融領域的里程碑。此次揭曉引起了全球比特幣社群的重大反應。 Professional Capital Management 創辦人兼執行長 Anthony Pompliano 透過 X 評論道：「阿根廷央行昨天舉辦了一場『藝術展覽』，其中包括積極開採比特幣的比特幣挖礦設備。據我所知，這是世界上第一家公開開採比特幣的央行。未來來得很快。

Similarly, Patrick Lowry, CEO of Samara AG, shared his insights on X: “Argentina’s Central Bank now has a Bitcoin mining exhibit in its halls. Central banks that embrace Bitcoin may survive. Those that don’t will perish.”

同樣，Samara AG 執行長 Patrick Lowry 分享了他對 X 的見解：「阿根廷中央銀行現在在其大廳裡舉辦了比特幣挖礦展。接受比特幣的央行可能會存活下來。那些不這樣做的人將會滅亡。
