法国可以通过利用其核能来挖掘比特币的创新枢纽

虽然关于加密货币的辩论经常在迷恋与不信任之间振荡，但委派数字事务部长克拉拉·查帕兹（Clara Chappaz）打开了前所未有的大门

“We can look into the possibility of using France’s nuclear energy surplus for Bitcoin mining.” The statement by Clara Chappaz, the delegated minister for Digital Affairs, during a visit to Ledger on Thursday, October 26, may appear surprising.

“我们可以研究使用法国核能盈余进行比特币采矿的可能性。” 10月26日（星期四）在莱杰（Ledger）访问莱杰（Ledger）期间，委派数字事务部长克拉拉·查帕兹（Clara Chappaz）的声明可能令人惊讶。

But it reflects the minister’s pragmatism and her desire to see France become a hub of innovation in an ever-changing digital landscape.

但这反映了部长的实用主义，她希望看到法国成为不断变化的数字景观中的创新枢纽。

After months of debates on cryptocurrency, often marked by fascination or distrust, the time has come to calmly assess the possibilities.

经过几个月的关于加密货币的辩论，通常以迷恋或不信任为特征，现在是时候冷静地评估了可能性。

This is evident in the proposal to use French nuclear power for Bitcoin mining. A bold idea that blends economic pragmatism and energy sovereignty, two subjects dear to the Hexagon.

这在使用法国核能进行比特币采矿的提议中很明显。一个大胆的想法，将经济实用主义与能源主权融为一体，这是六角形珍贵的两个主题。

The idea of using EDF’s nuclear energy surplus for Bitcoin mining is not new. Public energy giant EDF is struggling with a debt of 65 billion euros, while its nuclear plants sometimes have an unused surplus of electricity.

使用EDF的核能盈余进行比特币采矿的想法并不是什么新鲜事。公共能源巨头EDF正在以650亿欧元的债务挣扎，而其核电站有时会有未使用的电力盈余。

This could be converted into cryptocurrency, as Bitcoin mining is essentially the process of valorizing excess electricity and immediately generating revenue. A simple calculation that even presidential candidate Marine Le Pen touched upon during her visit to Flamanville.

这可以转换为加密货币，因为比特币采矿本质上是使多余电力和立即产生收入的过程。一个简单的计算，即使是总统候选人Marine Le Pen在访问Flamanville期间也谈到了。

However, the government has remained largely silent on the subject.

但是，政府在很大程度上对这个问题保持沉默。

But now, Clara Chappaz is breaking the taboo. “This subject has been captured by extreme fringes of public debate, while it deserves serious analysis,” she stated.

但是现在，克拉拉·查帕兹（Clara Chappaz）打破了禁忌。她说：“这一主题是由极端的公开辩论中的边缘所抓住的，而应该进行认真的分析。”

No noisy communication, but a genuine study. The recent appointment of Bernard Fontana at the head of EDF also offers a fresh perspective.

没有嘈杂的沟通，而是一项真正的研究。 EDF负责人最近任命伯纳德·富塔纳（Bernard Fontana）也提供了新的视角。

“We need to evaluate this without ideology, ask the right economic questions,” she added. A pragmatism that contrasts with the usual ideological stances on cryptocurrencies.

她补充说：“我们需要在没有意识形态的情况下对此进行评估，提出正确的经济问题。”一种实用主义与加密货币的通常意识形态立场形成鲜明对比。

Of course, there is the image of Bitcoin, often associated with speculation or pollution, which could be a pitfall. “It’s inter-ministerial, not just digital,” Chappaz noted.

当然，有比特币的图像，通常与投机或污染有关，这可能是陷阱。 Chappaz指出：“这是跨部门的，不仅是数字化。”

An implicit admission: to convince Bercy or the Energy Transition ministry, we'll need figures, not slogans. The equation of France becoming a low carbon mining laboratory is tempting, but fragile.

隐含的录取：要说服Bercy或能源过渡部，我们需要数字，而不是口号。法国成为低碳开采实验室的方程式是诱人的，但脆弱。

If Bitcoin crystallizes economic hopes, it also raises the question of French digital sovereignty. Another challenge awaits Chappaz: reconciling innovation and regulation, navigating between the digital euro and administrative sluggishness.

如果比特币能够结晶经济希望，它也提出了法国数字主权的问题。另一个挑战在等待查帕兹（Chappaz）：调和创新与监管，在数字欧元和行政迟缓之间导航。

The digital euro is advancing, with ECB president Christine Lagarde setting October 2025 as the deadline for its launch. Meanwhile, fears remain, particularly regarding the protection of personal data, which Chappaz highlighted.

数字欧元正在前进，欧洲央行总裁克里斯汀·拉加德（Christine Lagarde）将2025年10月作为其发射的截止日期。同时，仍然存在恐惧，特别是关于Chappaz强调的个人数据的保护。

A message to Brussels, where the project is struggling to fully reassure. The minister promises dialogue spaces to carry local voices. But Europe is moving slowly, and France must play collectively.

向布鲁塞尔提供的一条消息，该项目正在努力充分保证。部长承诺对话空间携带当地的声音。但是欧洲的运动缓慢，法国必须集体比赛。

“Let’s organize ourselves!,” she urged the ecosystem, noting that French companies need to unite their positions despite their differences. A challenge to reconcile pro-Bitcoin start-ups and traditional banks.

她敦促生态系统敦促“让我们组织起来！”，并指出，尽管法国公司有所不同，但法国公司仍需要团结自己的立场。调和Pro-Bitcoin初创企业和传统银行的挑战。

Chappaz sees herself as a mediator, “a bridge between France and Europe.” A key role, as the European regulator (MiCA) is setting strict rules.

查帕兹（Chappaz）将自己视为调解人，“法国和欧洲之间的桥梁”。作为欧洲监管机构（MICA）的关键角色是制定严格的规则。

Another grievance: the delays from the AMF. PSAN approval requests are piling up, hindering innovation. Chappaz tackled the subject directly.

另一个申诉：AMF的延迟。 PSAN批准请求正在堆积，阻碍了创新。 Chappaz直接解决了该主题。

“I’ve discussed this with the AMF. Let’s simplify, let’s draw inspiration from abroad,” she said, in a veiled criticism of an administration that can sometimes be paralyzed. For the minister, accelerating procedures to approve crypto service providers is crucial.

她说：“我已经与AMF讨论了这一点。让我们简化，让我们从国外汲取灵感。”她在对有时可能会瘫痪的政府的掩盖批评中说。对于部长来说，加速程序批准加密服务提供商至关重要。

Can France become a crypto hub while respecting standards? The balance is delicate, and Chappaz embodies a new generation of decision-makers: tech-savvy, yet realistic in her approach.

法国可以在尊重标准的同时成为加密枢纽吗？平衡是微妙的，Chappaz体现了新一代的决策者：精通技术，但她的方法现实。

Neither idealism nor rejection, but a quest for added value made in France. Between nuclear mining and the digital euro, the road is fraught with obstacles.

既不是理想主义也不是拒绝，而是寻求法国创造的附加价值。在核采矿和数字欧元之间，道路充满了障碍。

But one certainty remains: France refuses to be a spectator in a society where cash could soon disappear.

但是仍然可以肯定的是：法国拒绝成为现金很快消失的社会中的观众。
