比特幣接近減半，礦工為波動做好準備

儘管週一小幅下跌，比特幣價格仍徘徊在 63,000 美元上方。值得注意的是，備受期待的比特幣減半事件將於 4 月 19 日星期五發生，每四年就會減少流通中的比特幣數量。 Riot Platforms 執行長 Jason Les 分享了 Riot 減半準備工作的見解，強調了該公司的低能源成本和長期獲利策略。

Bitcoin Navigates Halving Crossroads, Mining Sector Braces for Volatility

比特幣穿越減半十字路口，礦業部門準備迎接波動

Bitcoin (BTC-USD), the digital currency that has captivated the financial world, is currently hovering around the $63,000 mark, having relinquished some gains on Monday. However, a significant event looms on the horizon: the Bitcoin halving, scheduled for this Friday, April 19th. This highly anticipated occurrence is anticipated to have multifaceted implications for the cryptocurrency landscape, particularly for Bitcoin miners.

比特幣（BTC-USD）是一種令金融界著迷的數位貨幣，週一回吐了部分漲幅，目前徘徊在 63,000 美元大關附近。然而，一個重大事件即將發生：比特幣減半，定於本週五，即 4 月 19 日發生。這一備受期待的事件預計將對加密貨幣領域產生多方面的影響，特別是對比特幣礦工而言。

The halving event, which occurs every four years, effectively reduces the number of available Bitcoins in circulation. This reduction directly impacts the profitability of Bitcoin miners, including companies like Riot Platforms (RIOT). However, despite the potential volatility that this event may bring, industry experts such as Jason Les, CEO of Riot Platforms, remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of the cryptocurrency.

每四年發生一次的減半事件有效地減少了流通中的可用比特幣數量。這種減少直接影響了比特幣礦商的獲利能力，包括 Riot Platforms (RIOT) 等公司。然而，儘管這一事件可能帶來潛在的波動，但 Riot Platforms 執行長 Jason Les 等行業專家仍然對加密貨幣的長期前景保持樂觀。

"The price appreciation we've witnessed in the first part of this year, following the approval of various Bitcoin ETFs, has helped cushion the potential negative impact of the halving," Les explained in an interview with Yahoo Finance. "We've already seen tangible upside from this."

萊斯在接受雅虎財經採訪時解釋道：“在各種比特幣 ETF 獲得批准後，我們在今年上半年見證了價格上漲，這有助於緩解減半的潛在負面影響。” “我們已經看到了切實的好處。”

Les emphasized that Riot Platforms has strategically positioned itself for this halving by securing a low energy cost of 2.2 cents per kilowatt hour, one of the industry's lowest. The company has also invested in cutting-edge mining facilities, including a new facility that is set to come online this month.

Les 強調，Riot Platforms 透過確保每千瓦時 2.2 美分的低能源成本（業內最低之一），對自身的減半進行了戰略定位。該公司還投資了尖端採礦設施，包括定於本月上線的新設施。

These carefully calculated measures have been taken to mitigate the potential revenue reduction that the halving will inevitably cause. However, Les acknowledged that the halving period often brings a temporary downturn in revenue for miners.

採取這些精心計算的措施是為了減輕減半不可避免地造成的潛在收入減少。不過，Les承認，減半期往往會為礦工帶來暫時的收入下滑。

"It's always a rough patch of volatility that we go through," Les admitted. "But historically, we've seen substantial price appreciation in the 12 to 18 months following the halving."

「我們總是經歷一段艱難的波動時期，」萊斯承認。 “但從歷史上看，我們在減半後的 12 至 18 個月內看到了價格的大幅上漲。”

Les pointed to the unique circumstances surrounding this halving, with Bitcoin reaching an all-time high even before the event. He believes that the influx of institutional investors through Bitcoin ETFs has played a significant role in dampening the potential negative impact of the halving.

萊斯指出了這次減半的獨特情況，比特幣甚至在減半之前就達到了歷史新高。他認為，機構投資者透過比特幣ETF湧入，在抑制減半的潛在負面影響方面發揮了重要作用。

"There's a compelling investment thesis with Bitcoin, and the world community is embracing it," Les said. "While the halving from a Bitcoin block reward perspective is a cut in half of our rewards, we're in a very bullish scenario for price appreciation in the years to come."

「比特幣有一個令人信服的投資論點，國際社會正在接受它，」萊斯說。 “雖然從比特幣區塊獎勵的角度來看，減半意味著我們的獎勵減少了一半，但我們對未來幾年價格升值的前景非常樂觀。”

Despite the current dip in Riot Platforms' stock price, Les remains positive about the company's long-term prospects. He believes that the company's low-cost power structure gives it a competitive advantage and will allow it to capitalize on the expected rebound in Bitcoin's price following the halving.

儘管目前 Riot Platforms 的股價下跌，但 Les 對該公司的長期前景仍樂觀。他認為，該公司的低成本電力結構賦予其競爭優勢，並將使其能夠利用比特幣減半後預期價格反彈的機會。

"We believe mining economics will rebound following the halving in the 12 to 18 months thereafter," Les asserted. "That's why we hold so much Bitcoin on our balance sheet."

「我們相信，在減半後的 12 至 18 個月內，挖礦經濟將會反彈，」Les 斷言。 “這就是為什麼我們在資產負債表上持有如此多的比特幣。”

As the Bitcoin halving approaches, the cryptocurrency market braces for volatility. However, industry experts like Jason Les remain optimistic about the long-term trajectory of Bitcoin and the opportunities it presents for investors and miners alike.

隨著比特幣減半的臨近，加密貨幣市場面臨波動。然而，傑森·萊斯（Jason Les）等行業專家仍然對比特幣的長期發展軌跡及其為投資者和礦工帶來的機會持樂觀態度。
