不丹的喜马拉雅国家正在探索使用水电来挖掘和利用绿色加密货币的方法，以增强其经济并创造就业机会以减少大脑排水

The Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan is looking into ways to mine and leverage green cryptocurrencies using its hydropower in order to boost the economy and create jobs to reduce brain drain, the chief executive of its sovereign wealth fund said.

其主权财富基金的首席执行官说，不丹喜马拉雅王国正在研究使用水力发电来挖掘和利用绿色加密货币的方法，以促进经济并创造就业机会，以减少脑力消耗。

Sandwiched between Asian giants India and China, Bhutan has earned millions of dollars in recent years by investing in some of the world’s most popular cryptocurrencies and used some of its profit to pay government salaries for two years, two senior officials in Thimphu, the capital stated.

首都说，不丹夹在亚洲巨人印度和中国之间，近年来通过投资世界上一些最受欢迎的加密货币，赚了数百万美元，并利用其一些利润来支付政府薪水两年，两名高级官员在Thimphu表示。

"We are a nation that runs 100% on hydropower, and every digital coin we mine in Bhutan using hydropower offsets that coin which gets mined using fossil fuels," said Ujjwal Deep Dahal, the CEO of the fund, Druk Holding and Investments Ltd.

该基金DRUK Holding and Investments Ltdd的首席执行官Ujjjwal Deep Dahal表示：“我们是一个在水力发电上运行100％的国家，我们在不丹使用的每种数字硬币都使用水力发电偏移来使用化石燃料来挖掘的水电偏移。”

"So a coin mined in Bhutan will contribute to the green economy," he told Reuters on Tuesday.

他周二对路透社说：“因此，在不丹开采的硬币将为绿色经济做出贡献。”

Dahal said the fund, which controls the country’s only power generation utility, began adding cryptocurrencies to its portfolio in 2019, seeing virtual currencies as a tactical investment and a gamechanger for the country.

达哈尔（Dahal）表示，控制该国唯一的发电公用事业的基金开始在2019年增加加密货币，将虚拟货币视为一种战术投资，并且是该国的gamechanger。

Bhutan is famed for its Gross National Happiness index, an economic gauge that incorporates factors ignored by the usual measures of gross domestic product, such as recreation, emotional well-being and sustainability.

不丹以其总的国民幸福指数而闻名，这是一种经济规格，其中结合了因娱乐，情感幸福和可持续性等通常的国内生产总值措施而忽略的因素。

It uses hydropower to operate energy-guzzling supercomputers to create digital assets that can be added to the blockchain.

它使用水力发电来操作耗能的超级计算机来创建可以添加到区块链中的数字资产。

Officials are exploring whether large conglomerates could buy Bhutan’s “green” coins to meet their targets on environmental, social and governance norms.

官员们正在探索大型企业集团是否可以购买不丹的“绿色”硬币来满足他们在环境，社会和治理规范方面的目标。

"Bitcoin has not just given more value to hydropower energy, it has also increased access to liquidity in foreign currency," said Dahal, who added that training Bhutan's young people in blockchain and AI techniques would fuel jobs.

达哈尔说：“比特币不仅给水力发电能源提供了更多的价值，而且还增加了外币流动性的机会。”

The nation of about 800,000 is battling an exodus of young, educated people. The government estimates that more than a tenth of its young people sought greener pastures between 2022 and 2023, taking unemployment in that age group to 16.5% in 2024.

大约80万的国家正在与年轻，受过教育的人的出现作斗争。政府估计，在2022年至2023年之间，超过十分之一的年轻人寻求更绿色的牧场，使该年龄段的失业率在2024年达到16.5％。

Analysts said that Bhutan’s ambitious plan to become the capital of green digital currency depends on expanding its hydropower generation to a potential of 33 gigawatts versus existing capacity of about 3.5 gigawatts.

分析师说，不丹成为绿色数字货币首都的雄心勃勃的计划取决于将其水力发电的生成扩大到33吉瓦的潜力，而现有能力约为3.5吉瓦。

"We have plans to generate 15 gigawatts in the next 10 to 15 years," Dahal added.

达哈尔补充说：“我们计划在未来10至15年内产生15吉瓦。”
