中国禁令后比特币算力转移到美国

正如 Ki Young Ju 指出的那样，比特币挖矿活动正在转移到美国，尽管中国矿商仍然占据主导地位。

Bitcoin mining activity is shifting to the United States, but Chinese miners still dominate the industry.

比特币挖矿活动正在转移到美国，但中国矿商仍然主导该行业。

According to data from X, the founder of CryptoQuant, a crypto analytics platform, more United States mining pools are gaining market share from their Chinese counterparts.

加密货币分析平台 CryptoQuant 创始人 X 的数据显示，越来越多的美国矿池正在从中国矿池手中夺取市场份额。

This shift is evident in the changing Bitcoin hash rate dominance, which indicates the relative contribution of different mining pools to the total network hash rate.

这种转变在比特币算力主导地位的变化中很明显，这表明了不同矿池对总网络算力的相对贡献。

As of September 23, Chinese Bitcoin mining pools controlled 55% of all Bitcoin hash rates. At the same time, those operating from inside the United States control 40% of the total.

截至 9 月 23 日，中国比特币矿池控制了所有比特币算力的 55%。与此同时，美国境内运营商控制着总数的 40%。

This means that the two countries dominate all Bitcoin mining activities, controlling 95% of all hash rate—a huge risk to the operation and security of the blockchain.

这意味着这两个国家主导了所有比特币挖矿活动，控制了95%的算力——这对区块链的运行和安全构成了巨大风险。

Bitcoin is secured by distributed and decentralized miners who often channel their computing power (hash rate) to a pool for a chance to win block rewards. These miners have to purchase gear and meet all operational costs.

比特币由分布式和去中心化的矿工保护，他们经常将其计算能力（哈希率）转移到矿池中，以获得赢得区块奖励的机会。这些矿工必须购买设备并支付所有运营成本。

But as an incentive, the network distributes 3.125 BTC and the associated block fees roughly every 10 minutes to the successful mining pool or miner. In this way, the network remains secure and, in theory, equally decentralized.

但作为激励，网络大约每 10 分钟向成功的矿池或矿工分发 3.125 BTC 和相关的区块费用。通过这种方式，网络保持安全，并且理论上同样是去中心化的。

The shift in hash rate dominance coincides with the changing regulatory landscape for crypto mining in China. In May 2021, the Chinese government banned all crypto mining and staking forms.

算力主导地位的转变与中国加密货币挖矿监管环境的变化相一致。 2021 年 5 月，中国政府禁止所有加密货币挖矿和质押形式。

The government cited various concerns, including the difficulty in curbing financial crime and sealing capital flight due to the Pro-crypto stance and favorable regulations in the United States.

政府列举了各种担忧，包括由于美国支持加密货币的立场和有利的法规，难以遏制金融犯罪和阻止资本外逃。

At the same time, the Chinese government alleged that crypto and Bitcoin would destabilize the economy.

与此同时，中国政府声称加密货币和比特币会破坏经济稳定。

Following this, most Chinese miners were forced to shut down operations and relocate to other regions. Most found themselves in the United States and Kazakhstan.

此后，大多数中国矿商被迫关闭业务并搬迁到其他地区。大多数人发现自己身处美国和哈萨克斯坦。

Although there are still pockets of mining activity in China, crypto mining in the United States is booming.

尽管中国仍有少量挖矿活动，但美国的加密货币挖矿正在蓬勃发展。

Some of the top public crypto mining firms mining thousands of BTC annually include Marathon Digital and Riot Platforms.

一些顶级的公共加密货币挖矿公司每年开采数千枚比特币，包括 Marathon Digital 和 Riot Platforms。

Meanwhile, more independent miners are connecting to United States-based mining pools. According to Mempool.space, Foundry USA is the largest mining pool, contributing over 30% of the hash rate.

与此同时，更多的独立矿工正在连接到美国的矿池。根据 Mempool.space 的数据，Foundry USA 是最大的矿池，贡献了超过 30% 的算力。

In June, Donald Trump, the Republican Presidential nominee, met with crypto mining executives in Florida.

六月，共和党总统候选人唐纳德·特朗普在佛罗里达州会见了加密货币矿业高管。

During the private meeting, it was reported that Trump said his administration, if elected, would ensure the sector is treated fairly.

据报道，在这次非公开会议上，特朗普表示，如果他的政府当选，将确保该行业受到公平对待。
