埃塞俄比亚成为比特币（BTC）采矿业的下一个金矿

CoinDesk 7 日（当地时间）报道称，加密货币挖矿公司 Bit Mining 最近以 1400 万美元（约合 200 亿韩元）收购了位于埃塞俄比亚的一座 51MW（兆瓦）比特币挖矿设施。

Cryptocurrency mining company Bit Mining has acquired a 51MW Bitcoin mining facility in Ethiopia for $14 million, according to a CoinDesk report on Friday.

据 CoinDesk 周五报道，加密货币挖矿公司 Bit Mining 以 1400 万美元收购了埃塞俄比亚一座 51MW 的比特币挖矿设施。

The facility, which is located in Ethiopia, houses around 18,000 Bitcoin mining rigs. This marks the first time that Bit Mining has acquired a mining facility outside of Ohio.

该设施位于埃塞俄比亚，拥有约 18,000 台比特币矿机。这标志着 Bit Mining 首次收购俄亥俄州以外的采矿设施。

According to Yuwei Yang, chief economist at Bit Mining, the electricity cost in Ohio is at least 70% to nearly double that of Ethiopia.

Bit Mining首席经济学家Yuwei Yang表示，俄亥俄州的电费至少是埃塞俄比亚的70%，几乎是埃塞俄比亚的两倍。

“With Ethiopia's cheap electricity, we can extend the lifespan of Bitcoin mining equipment that could have been used for 2-3 years in the US,” Yang said.

“凭借埃塞俄比亚廉价的电力，我们可以延长比特币挖矿设备的使用寿命，而这些设备在美国可以使用 2-3 年，”杨说。

Bit Mining plans to install its latest mining rigs in the US and older rigs in Ethiopia to maximize profitability.

Bit Mining 计划在美国安装最新的矿机，在埃塞俄比亚安装较旧的矿机，以最大限度地提高盈利能力。

“This strategy can extend the lifespan of mining equipment by more than two years,” Yang said, adding that it will lead to higher returns for investors and more capital flowing into the company.

杨说：“这一策略可以将采矿设备的使用寿命延长两年以上。”他补充说，这将为投资者带来更高的回报，并让更多资本流入公司。

Another attraction is Ethiopia's hydroelectric resources, especially the 6,450MW Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), which is said to be the largest dam in Africa.

另一个吸引人的地方是埃塞俄比亚的水电资源，尤其是6,450MW的埃塞俄比亚复兴大坝（GERD），据说是非洲最大的水坝。

However, political instability, such as the civil war, remains a concern.

然而，内战等政治不稳定仍然令人担忧。

“We conducted several visits and studies to confirm the regional stability of Ethiopia,” Yang said, and to avoid uncertainties, “we decided to purchase existing facilities instead of building new ones.”

“我们进行了多次考察和研究，以确认埃塞俄比亚的地区稳定，”杨说，为了避免不确定性，“我们决定购买现有设施，而不是建造新设施。”
