瑞士伯爾尼州議會批准探索比特幣挖礦作為能源過度利用和電網穩定解決方案的提案

大議會成員塞繆爾·庫爾曼表示，該動議於 11 月 28 日以 85 比 46 的決定性投票獲得通過，並得到伯爾尼多名政界人士的支持。

Switzerland’s Canton of Bern parliament has approved a proposal to explore Bitcoin mining as a solution to excess energy utilization and power grid stabilization.

瑞士伯爾尼州議會批准了一項探索比特幣挖礦作為解決能源過度利用和電網穩定問題的方案。

The proposal was adopted on November 28 with a decisive vote of 85 to 46, backed by multiple politicians in Bern.

該提案於 11 月 28 日以 85 比 46 的決定性投票獲得通過，並得到伯爾尼多名政界人士的支持。

“Even though the debate was heavily influenced by classic FUD arguments and missed the point, the proposal ultimately found a clear majority,” said Kullmann, adding that some traditionally conservative parties supported the initiative. “The outcome clearly demonstrates that the narrative on Bitcoin is changing.”

庫爾曼說：「儘管辯論受到經典 FUD 論點的嚴重影響，並且沒有抓住要點，但該提案最終獲得了明顯多數。」他補充說，一些傳統保守黨支持該倡議。 “結果清楚地表明，關於比特幣的敘述正在改變。”

The proposal suggests that establishing a favorable environment for Bitcoin companies could give Bern a competitive edge over other regions seeking to become crypto innovation hubs.

該提案表明，為比特幣公司建立一個有利的環境可以使伯爾尼相對於其他尋求成為加密貨幣創新中心的地區具有競爭優勢。

“Bitcoin mining companies bring investments, create jobs and help many parts of the world develop renewable energy sources. For several years now, Bitcoin mining has been one of the greenest industries in the world,” the proposal states.

「比特幣礦業公司帶來投資、創造就業機會並幫助世界許多地區開發再生能源。多年來，比特幣挖礦一直是世界上最環保的行業之一，」該提案指出。

“Bitcoin miners are not the only option for demand-side flexibility, but they have the advantage of bringing a direct economic benefit,” it adds.

「比特幣礦工並不是需求方靈活性的唯一選擇，但它們具有帶來直接經濟利益的優勢，」它補充道。

The Cantonal Government initially requested a rejection of the motion, as reported by Blocktrainer, an educational platform for Bitcoin in the German-speaking regions.

根據德語地區比特幣教育平台 Blocktrainer 報道，州政府最初要求拒絕該動議。

The council raised concerns about increased energy consumption and power grid instability. They were also worried about the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining and the regulatory risks associated with crypto assets.

該委員會對能源消耗增加和電網不穩定表示擔憂。他們也擔心比特幣挖礦對環境的影響以及與加密資產相關的監管風險。

“Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not legal tender,” the council stated. “Bitcoin and other crypto assets are beyond monetary policy and thus the safeguarding of price stability by the national bank, as well as state supervision, which is associated with various other risks.”

該委員會表示：“比特幣和其他加密貨幣不是法定貨幣。” 「比特幣和其他加密資產超出了貨幣政策的範圍，因此超出了國家銀行維護價格穩定的範圍，也超出了國家監管的範圍，這與各種其他風險有關。”

Despite the opposition, the parliamentary group successfully secured approval from the Grand Council. The government council will now conduct a feasibility study on Bitcoin mining in the canton, examining factors including energy availability, environmental impact, and regulatory considerations.

儘管遭到反對，議會小組還是成功獲得了大議會的批准。政府委員會現在將對在該州進行比特幣開採進行可行性研究，審查包括能源可用性、環境影響和監管考慮的因素。

Depending on the findings and recommendations from the report, there may be further steps to develop policies or regulations that facilitate responsible Bitcoin mining practices.

根據報告的調查結果和建議，可能會採取進一步措施來制定政策或法規，以促進負責任的比特幣挖礦實踐。
