BTC 挖矿数据成为马斯克 2021 年推文的焦点

根据 Woocharts 的数据，比特币采矿能源组合中超过 50% 来自可持续能源。值得注意的是，特斯拉公司首席执行官埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 在 2021 年发推文称，这家电动汽车 (EV) 制造商将在一个条件下重新考虑 BTC 支付。

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, stated in 2021 that the company would begin accepting Bitcoin (BTC) again once there was confirmation that at least 50% of the cryptocurrency’s mining energy mix came from sustainable sources.

特斯拉首席执行官埃隆·马斯克 (Elon Musk) 在 2021 年表示，一旦确认加密货币的采矿能源组合中至少 50% 来自可持续能源，该公司将再次开始接受比特币 (BTC)。

Now, as per Woocharts, over 50% of Bitcoin’s mining energy mix came from sustainable sources.

现在，根据 Woocharts 的数据，比特币采矿能源结构中超过 50% 来自可持续能源。

This is inaccurate. Tesla only sold ~10% of holdings to confirm BTC could be liquidated easily without moving market.

这是不准确的。特斯拉仅出售了约 10% 的股份，以确认 BTC 可以在不影响市场的情况下轻松清算。

When there’s confirmation of reasonable (~50%) clean energy usage by miners with positive future trend, Tesla will resume allowing Bitcoin transactions.

当确认矿工合理使用清洁能源（约 50%）且未来趋势良好时，特斯拉将恢复允许比特币交易。

The Woocharts data, which is compiled by on-chain analyst Willy Woo and venture capitalist and author Daniel Batten, shows that Bitcoin mining is on a positive roll.

由链上分析师 Willy Woo 和风险投资家兼作家 Daniel Batten 编制的 Woocharts 数据显示，比特币挖矿正在积极发展。

According to the data, 56.8% of the Bitcoin mining energy comes from renewable energy sources such as solar, hydropower and wind energy.

数据显示，比特币挖矿能源的56.8%来自太阳能、水力发电和风能等可再生能源。

Over the past few years, several private mining companies have announced plans to use green sources. Some of these companies include Compass, Hut 8 Mining, Riot, among others.

过去几年，多家私营矿业公司宣布了使用绿色能源的计划。其中一些公司包括 Compass、Hut 8 Mining、Riot 等。

As of writing, there has been no official announcement from Tesla or Musk about the car maker’s stand on BTC payments.

截至撰写本文时，特斯拉或马斯克尚未正式宣布该汽车制造商对比特币支付的立场。

However, Woocharts data shows that renewable energy sources accounted for 50% of Bitcoin mining as early as July 2022.

然而，Woocharts 数据显示，早在 2022 年 7 月，可再生能源就占到了比特币挖矿的 50%。

A report by Reuters also highlighted the increasing use of sustainable energy sources in Bitcoin mining, with業者 announcing plans to use green sources.

路透社的一份报告还强调了比特币挖矿中越来越多地使用可持续能源，业内人士宣布了使用绿色能源的计划。

Bitcoin mining has been criticized for its energy consumption, which some have linked to the human civilization’s carbon footprint.

比特币挖矿因其能源消耗而受到批评，有些人认为这与人类文明的碳足迹有关。

Apart from his consideration of BTC for payments at Tesla, it is speculated that XRP could be used in similar ways. Moreover, X (formerly Twitter), another company owned by Musk, could consider payments in crypto.

除了他考虑在特斯拉使用 BTC 进行支付之外，据推测 XRP 也可以以类似的方式使用。此外，马斯克拥有的另一家公司 X（前身为 Twitter）可以考虑使用加密货币进行支付。

Under the Trump administration, the blockchain industry is expected to thrive in the US in 2025 and Musk is pro-crypto. Additionally, Trump’s close association with Musk could suggest that crypto will enter the mainstream economy sooner than expected.

在特朗普政府的领导下，区块链行业预计将在 2025 年在美国蓬勃发展，而马斯克是加密货币的支持者。此外，特朗普与马斯克的密切关系可能表明加密货币将比预期更早进入主流经济。

There are two reasons why Musk would allow Bitcoin or XRP payments at companies such as Tesla and X.

马斯克允许 Tesla 和 X 等公司使用比特币或 XRP 支付的原因有两个。

Firstly, Musk promised to do this if the future trend of BTC mining energy mix is greener. Woocharts data shows that the trend is positive, check. He also said the existing miners must use 50% sustainable sources. Woocharts data shows this is not only the case, but more than 56% of the miners’ sources are sustainable, check.

首先，马斯克承诺，如果比特币挖矿能源结构的未来趋势更加绿色，他就会这样做。 Woocharts 数据显示趋势是积极的，请检查。他还表示，现有矿商必须使用 50% 的可持续资源。 Woocharts 数据显示不仅如此，而且超过 56% 的矿工来源是可持续的，请检查。

Secondly, if the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve plan materializes, it would signal clear political acceptance of crypto. If, simultaneously, Trump pursues his aim to mine the remaining BTCs in the US, Bitcoin could soon command a status equivalent to the greenback. Consequently, not just Musk, but several businesses and institutions would accept BTC payments.

其次，如果比特币战略储备计划得以实现，这将标志着对加密货币的政治接受。如果特朗普同时实现在美国开采剩余比特币的目标，比特币可能很快就会获得与美元同等的地位。因此，不仅是马斯克，一些企业和机构也会接受比特币支付。

An announcement that Tesla will/will not accept payments in bitcoin will confirm/deny the data on BTC mining.

特斯拉将/不接受比特币付款的公告将确认/否认有关比特币挖矿的数据。
