比特幣挖礦佔比超過 50% 清潔能源

比特幣挖礦已達到一個重要里程碑，其 56.67% 的能源來自再生能源。這項成就滿足了特斯拉執行長馬斯克設定的條件。

Bitcoin miners have achieved a significant milestone, with over 56% of their energy now coming from renewable sources. This achievement fulfills a condition set by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who had stated that the company would begin accepting Bitcoin again once its renewable energy consumption surpassed 50%.

比特幣礦工已經實現了一個重要的里程碑，現在超過 56% 的能源來自再生能源。這項成就滿足了特斯拉執行長馬斯克設定的條件，他曾表示，一旦再生能源消耗超過 50%，該公司將再次開始接受比特幣。

As a result, there is growing anticipation that Tesla will reintroduce Bitcoin as a payment method for its electric vehicles. In recent years, Bitcoin miners have made substantial progress in adopting cleaner energy sources.

因此，人們越來越期待特斯拉將重新引入比特幣作為其電動車的支付方式。近年來，比特幣礦商在採用清潔能源方面取得了實質進展。

Regions like Quebec, Iceland, and Texas have become attractive to miners due to their diverse renewable resources, including hydropower, geothermal, and wind energy.

魁北克、冰島和德克薩斯等地區因其多樣化的可再生資源（包括水力發電、地熱和風能）而對礦工有吸引力。

Currently, hydropower leads the renewable energy generation with 23%, followed by wind energy at 5%, and solar power at 2%.

目前，水力發電佔再生能源發電量的23%，其次是風能，佔5%，太陽能發電佔2%。

Bitcoin mining is estimated to consume around 127 terawatt-hours annually, but it still faces challenges regarding carbon emissions.

據估計，比特幣挖礦每年消耗約 127 太瓦時，但仍面臨碳排放的挑戰。

Despite the increase in clean energy usage, Bitcoin mining is still responsible for emitting approximately 69 million metric tons of CO₂ each year, raising major environmental concerns.

儘管清潔能源使用量增加，但比特幣挖礦每年仍排放約 6,900 萬噸二氧化碳，引發了重大環境問題。

Although not renewable, nuclear energy accounts for 9% of the Bitcoin mining energy. Geothermal energy has also contributed to the push for cleaner energy in Bitcoin mining, especially in El Salvador.

雖然核能不可再生，但它佔比特幣挖礦能源的 9%。地熱能源也促進了比特幣挖礦中清潔能源的發展，特別是在薩爾瓦多。

However, coal still provides 22% of the energy used, marking a reduction from the 40% reported in previous years.

然而，煤炭仍佔所用能源的 22%，比前幾年報告的 40% 有所下降。

Bitcoin Payments at Tesla

特斯拉的比特幣支付

The Bitcoin market is now awaiting Tesla's decision on whether to reintroduce Bitcoin payments.

比特幣市場目前正在等待特斯拉決定是否重新引入比特幣支付。

Initially, Elon Musk suspended Bitcoin payments in May 2021 due to environmental concerns.

最初，出於環境問題，馬斯克於 2021 年 5 月暫停了比特幣支付。

Now that Bitcoin miners have reached the 50% renewable energy threshold, many anticipate Tesla will begin accepting Bitcoin transactions again.

現在比特幣礦工已經達到了 50% 再生能源的門檻，許多人預計特斯拉將再次開始接受比特幣交易。

The potential return of Bitcoin payments could also be influenced by political and economic factors.

比特幣支付的潛在回報也可能受到政治和經濟因素的影響。

Elon Musk's relationship with President-elect Donald Trump could shape future policies in the regulation of Bitcoin and digital assets.

伊隆馬斯克與當選總統川普的關係可能​​會影響比特幣和數位資產監管的未來政策。

Additionally, Trump's support for Bitcoin has increased optimism among Bitcoin proponents regarding favorable regulatory policies.

此外，川普對比特幣的支持增加了比特幣支持者對有利監管政策的樂觀情緒。

As Bitcoin miners continue to shift towards renewable energy, some industry participants, like Riot Platforms and MARA Holdings, are ramping up their investments in sustainable energy.

隨著比特幣礦商繼續轉向再生能源，Riot Platforms 和 MARA Holdings 等一些產業參與者正在加大對永續能源的投資。

Despite the increase in clean energy usage, Bitcoin mining remains a costly investment amid the global energy crisis.

儘管清潔能源的使用量有所增加，但在全球能源危機中，比特幣挖礦仍然是一項昂貴的投資。

Moreover, mining companies are continuing to purchase Bitcoin to strengthen their positions as operational costs rise.

此外，隨著營運成本上升，礦業公司正在繼續購買比特幣以鞏固其地位。
