多年來,數位資產的「耗電」本質一直是比特幣懷疑論者的一個容易攻擊的目標。從國際貨幣基金組織和聯合國到立法者和產業領袖
Institutions are increasingly showing interest in digital assets, and as a result, there is a growing demand for sustainable solutions within the digital asset sector. This is because a significant portion of institutional investors' portfolios is allocated to ESG-compliant assets. In an interview with CoinGeek Backstage, Kirsteen Harrison, director of sustainability at Zumo, highlighted the nuances of the energy consumption narrative and how it can be a strength for the digital asset sector.
機構對數位資產越來越感興趣,因此,數位資產領域對永續解決方案的需求不斷增長。這是因為機構投資者投資組合的很大一部分分配給了符合 ESG 的資產。 Zumo 永續發展總監 Kirsteen Harrison 在接受 CoinGeek Backstage 採訪時強調了能源消耗敘述的細微差別以及它如何成為數位資產領域的優勢。
Zumo is an Edinburgh, Scotland-based company that provides digital asset solutions with a focus on sustainability and compliance. As a digital asset intermediary, Zumo realized the importance of addressing the sector's carbon footprint early on. This led to the creation of Oxygen, an institutional crypto sustainability service.
Zumo 是一家總部位於蘇格蘭愛丁堡的公司,提供專注於永續性和合規性的數位資產解決方案。作為數位資產中介機構,Zumo 很早就意識到解決該行業碳足跡的重要性。這導致了 Oxygen 的創建,這是一項機構加密可持續發展服務。
Harrison explained that Oxygen helps institutional investors align their digital asset investments with ESG principles. It also caters to exchanges, wallets, banks, fintechs, and other intermediaries.
Harrison 解釋說,Oxygen 幫助機構投資者將其數位資產投資與 ESG 原則結合。它還服務於交易所、錢包、銀行、金融科技和其他中介機構。
“We work with them to quantify [their energy consumption and carbon footprint] and apportion it, and then we work with them to mitigate against that through the procurement of renewable energy certificates and to prove that on the blockchain, too.”
“我們與他們合作,量化[他們的能源消耗和碳足跡]並進行分配,然後我們與他們合作,通過購買可再生能源證書來減輕這種影響,並在區塊鏈上證明這一點。”
Harrison participated in a panel at the London Blockchain Conference that discussed embedding sustainability in the digital asset ETF revolution. The company also played a key role in the launch of Europe's first ESG-aligned spot BTC ETF, by Jacobi Asset Management.
Harrison 參加了倫敦區塊鏈會議的小組討論,該小組討論了將永續性融入數位資產 ETF 革命中。該公司還在 Jacobi Asset Management 推出歐洲首個符合 ESG 的現貨 BTC ETF 中發揮了關鍵作用。
Harrison, who has been in the sustainability sector for over two decades, believes that the narrative around the energy consumption of the digital asset sector fails to take into account important nuances. For example, critics often reduce everything to a single electricity consumption figure, which tends to paint the sector as power-hungry without considering the economic impact.
哈里森在永續發展領域工作了二十多年,他認為有關數位資產領域能源消耗的敘述未能考慮到重要的細微差別。例如,批評者經常將所有數據簡化為一個電力消耗數字,這往往會將該行業描繪為耗電行業,而不考慮經濟影響。
However, she told CoinGeek Backstage host Becky Liggero that this oversimplification can be a strength for the sector.
然而,她告訴 CoinGeek Backstage 主持人 Becky Liggero,這種過度簡化可能是該行業的優勢。
“The fact that we can point easily to that number, which is our carbon footprint, means that we can take action to reduce it through the use of renewable energy.”
“事實上,我們可以輕鬆指出這個數字,即我們的碳足跡,這意味著我們可以採取行動,透過使用可再生能源來減少碳足跡。”
Another nuance that is rarely highlighted is the utility of Bitcoin. Other related sectors, such as traditional finance, assess their environmental impact based on their utility, not the raw input. For example, the aviation sector consumes 2,500 TWh annually and is responsible for 2.5% of global CO₂ emissions, nearly twenty times that of the digital asset sector. However, its utility and impact on the global economy justify this raw energy use.
另一個很少被強調的細微差別是比特幣的效用。其他相關部門,例如傳統金融,根據其效用而不是原始投入來評估其環境影響。例如,航空業每年消耗 2,500 太瓦時的電力,佔全球二氧化碳排放量的 2.5%,幾乎是數位資產產業的 20 倍。然而,其效用和對全球經濟的影響證明了這種原始能源的使用是合理的。
Adding to the narrative is the utility of individual blockchains. Some, like BTC and Ethereum, have remained limited to a handful of transactions per second, which makes them only useful for the elite and the speculators. BSV, on the other hand, scales unbounded, facilitating thousands of transactions per second. With the Teranode upgrade early next year, the network will process over a million transactions per second, making it the only enterprise-ready blockchain network globally.
單一區塊鏈的實用性也增加了敘述的內容。有些交易,例如比特幣和以太坊,每秒的交易數量仍然有限,這使得它們只對菁英和投機者有用。另一方面,BSV 可以無限擴展,每秒可促進數千筆交易。隨著明年初的 Teranode 升級,該網路每秒將處理超過一百萬筆交易,使其成為全球唯一適合企業使用的區塊鏈網路。
In recent years, the energy consumption debate has shifted towards bashing proof-of-work and advocating for proof-of-stake as the improved consensus mechanism. However, PoS deviates from the decentralization ethos of blockchain technology, handing the power of providing consensus to a small group of elites with the most tokens. Even then, it still doesn’t scale for enterprise use, as Ethereum has proven.
近年來,關於能源消耗的爭論已經轉向抨擊工作量證明並提倡將權益證明作為改進的共識機制。然而,PoS 背離了區塊鏈技術的去中心化精神,將提供共識的權力交給了一小群擁有最多代幣的精英。即便如此,正如以太坊所證明的那樣,它仍然無法擴展到企業用途。
As Satoshi Nakamoto designed it, BSV has proven that proof-of-work scales unboundedly for global use with the lowest fees and a stable protocol while still being energy-efficient.
正如中本聰所設計的那樣,BSV 已經證明,工作量證明可以無限擴展,以最低的費用和穩定的協議在全球範圍內使用,同時仍然節能。
