復興大壩為埃塞俄比亞的比特幣採礦業提供動力

埃塞俄比亞透過利用其豐富的水力資源，迅速成為比特幣挖礦的主要參與者。

Ethiopia has emerged as a leading destination for Bitcoin mining, thanks to the vast energy resources harnessed by the Grand Renaissance Dam. This strategic move has generated $1 billion in revenue, positioning Ethiopia as a digital economy powerhouse in Africa.

由於復興大壩所利用的豐富能源資源，衣索比亞已成為比特幣挖礦的主要目的地。這項戰略措施已創造了 10 億美元的收入，使衣索比亞成為非洲數位經濟強國。

The Ethiopian government's efforts to promote renewable energy and attract foreign investment have paid off. Bitcoin miners have flocked to the country, eager to tap into the low-cost hydropower energy. This influx has contributed to Ethiopia's goal of becoming a regional hub for technology and innovation.

衣索比亞政府推廣再生能源和吸引外資的努力已初見成效。比特幣礦工紛紛湧入該國，渴望利用低成本的水力發電。這種湧入有助於埃塞俄比亞成為區域技術和創新中心的目標。

Bitcoin mining is a crucial part of Ethiopia's plan to diversify its economy and reduce its heavy reliance on agriculture. The revenue generated by Bitcoin mining now accounts for 18% of the country's national income, showcasing the significant impact of this digital asset on Ethiopia's economy.

比特幣挖礦是衣索比亞經濟多元化和減少對農業嚴重依賴計畫的重要組成部分。比特幣挖礦產生的收入目前佔該國國民收入的18%，顯示出這種數位資產對衣索比亞經濟的重大影響。

As Bitcoin mining expands in Ethiopia, it is also having a positive impact on the country's energy infrastructure. Bitcoin miners require a stable and reliable power supply, which has prompted them to invest heavily in improving Ethiopia's energy grid. This benefits both the miners and the local population, who gain access to more efficient and dependable electricity.

隨著比特幣開採在衣索比亞的擴張，也對該國的能源基礎設施產生了正面影響。比特幣礦工需要穩定可靠的電力供應，促使他們大力投資改善埃塞俄比亞的能源網路。這對礦工和當地居民都有好處，他們可以獲得更有效率、更可靠的電力。

"Bitcoin miners have a lot of money to invest, and we need money to develop our grid," said Hiwot Eshetu, marketing director for Ethiopian Electric Power, highlighting the mutually beneficial relationship between the two parties.

埃塞俄比亞電力公司行銷總監 Hiwot Eshetu 表示：「比特幣礦工有大量資金可供投資，我們需要資金來發展我們的電網。」他強調了雙方之間的互利關係。

Ethiopia's model of integrating blockchain technology with renewable energy is paving the way for other African nations to follow suit and leverage Bitcoin mining for economic growth.

埃塞俄比亞將區塊鏈技術與再生能源結合的模式正在為其他非洲國家效仿並利用比特幣挖礦促進經濟成長鋪平道路。

The Democratic Republic of Congo is among the countries exploring similar initiatives, where hydro-powered Bitcoin mining has already played a role in funding vital projects like environmental conservation in Virunga National Park.

剛果民主共和國是探索類似舉措的國家之一，其中水力比特幣挖礦已經在資助維龍加國家公園環境保護等重要項目中發揮了作用。

Moreover, micro-grids are being deployed in rural Africa to increase energy access, and companies like Gridless are using Bitcoin mining to fund these grids and provide affordable power in regions like Kenya and Zambia.

此外，非洲農村地區正在部署微電網，以增加能源供應，像 Gridless 這樣的公司正在利用比特幣挖礦為這些電網提供資金，並在肯亞和尚比亞等地區提供負擔得起的電力。

As Bitcoin mining continues to expand on the continent, it is creating new avenues for sustainable development and economic empowerment in Africa.

隨著比特幣挖礦在非洲大陸的不斷擴張，它正在為非洲的永續發展和經濟賦權創造新的途徑。
