俄罗斯将从 2025 年 1 月 1 日起禁止多个地区的比特币挖矿

俄罗斯政府最近宣布，该国多个地区将禁止比特币开采。该措施将于2025年1月1日开始实施，有效期为6年。

Russia is set to ban Bitcoin mining in several regions of the country, starting January 1st, 2025, and lasting for 6 years. The measure is being implemented in an effort to control energy consumption and regional economic disparities.

俄罗斯将于 2025 年 1 月 1 日起禁止该国多个地区进行比特币挖矿，为期 6 年。该措施的实施是为了控制能源消耗和地区经济差距。

The regions affected by the ban are some of the most economically disadvantaged, including Chechnya, Lugansk People’s Republic, Kabardino-Balkaria, North Ossetia, Kherson Region, Donetsk People’s Republic, Karachay-Cherkessia, Zaporizhia Region, Dagestan, and Ingushetia.

受禁令影响的地区是一些经济最贫困的地区，包括车臣、卢甘斯克人民共和国、卡巴尔达-巴尔卡尔、北奥塞梯、赫尔松地区、顿涅茨克人民共和国、卡拉恰伊-切尔克斯、扎波罗热地区、达吉斯坦和印古什。

Temporary restrictions are also to be implemented in regions like Irkutsk, Buryatia, and Zabaikal Krai. Although seemingly a very radical measure, the Government also mentioned that these restrictions are not set in stone, and changes could emerge if the energy consumption committee sees fit.

伊尔库茨克、布里亚特和后贝加尔边疆区等地区也将实施临时限制。虽然看似非常激进的措施，但政府还提到，这些限制并不是一成不变的，如果能源消耗委员会认为合适，可能会出现变化。

The fact that most regions hit with the mining ban are from annexed territories has raised criticism of the government’s potential favoritism. However, the ongoing conflict in Ukraine has strained energy resources in these areas, making it crucial to manage consumption effectively. The ban aims to ensure energy stability and address economic disparities in regions affected by the war.

大多数受到采矿禁令影响的地区都来自附属领土，这一事实引发了对政府潜在偏袒的批评。然而，乌克兰持续的冲突使这些地区的能源资源紧张，因此有效管理消费至关重要。该禁令旨在确保能源稳定并解决受战争影响地区的经济差距。

Cryptocurrency mining under the proof-of-work consensus mechanism has been known for its high energy consumption. In 2024 alone, Bitcoin’s global energy consumption surpassed 150 terawatt-hours—about the same as the consumption of medium-sized countries like Argentina, or 14 million U.S. households.

工作量证明共识机制下的加密货币挖矿一直以其高能耗而闻名。仅 2024 年，比特币的全球能源消耗就超过 150 太瓦时，大约相当于阿根廷等中等国家或 1400 万个美国家庭的消耗量。

Energy consumption from mining has also become a major talking point for regulators over the past decade. In 2022, Kosovo completely outlawed crypto mining during one of the country’s most severe energy crises. Also, some of the world’s largest economies like Germany, France, and China have implemented strict regulations on mining in order to manage energy use and address environmental concerns.

过去十年来，采矿业的能源消耗也成为监管机构的一个主要话题。 2022 年，科索沃在该国最严重的能源危机之一期间完全禁止加密货币挖矿。此外，德国、法国和中国等一些世界最大经济体对采矿业实施了严格的法规，以管理能源使用并解决环境问题。
