瑞士伯尔尼州议会批准探索比特币挖矿作为能源过度利用和电网稳定解决方案的提案

大议会成员塞缪尔·库尔曼表示，该动议于 11 月 28 日以 85 比 46 的决定性投票获得通过，并得到伯尔尼多名政界人士的支持。

Switzerland’s Canton of Bern parliament has approved a proposal to explore Bitcoin mining as a solution to excess energy utilization and power grid stabilization.

瑞士伯尔尼州议会批准了一项探索比特币挖矿作为解决能源过度利用和电网稳定问题的方案。

The proposal was adopted on November 28 with a decisive vote of 85 to 46, backed by multiple politicians in Bern.

该提案于 11 月 28 日以 85 比 46 的决定性投票获得通过，并得到伯尔尼多名政界人士的支持。

“Even though the debate was heavily influenced by classic FUD arguments and missed the point, the proposal ultimately found a clear majority,” said Kullmann, adding that some traditionally conservative parties supported the initiative. “The outcome clearly demonstrates that the narrative on Bitcoin is changing.”

库尔曼说：“尽管辩论受到经典 FUD 论点的严重影响，并且没有抓住要点，但该提案最终获得了明显多数。”他补充说，一些传统保守党派支持该倡议。 “结果清楚地表明，关于比特币的叙述正在发生变化。”

The proposal suggests that establishing a favorable environment for Bitcoin companies could give Bern a competitive edge over other regions seeking to become crypto innovation hubs.

该提案表明，为比特币公司建立一个有利的环境可以使伯尔尼相对于其他寻求成为加密货币创新中心的地区具有竞争优势。

“Bitcoin mining companies bring investments, create jobs and help many parts of the world develop renewable energy sources. For several years now, Bitcoin mining has been one of the greenest industries in the world,” the proposal states.

“比特币矿业公司带来投资、创造就业机会并帮助世界许多地区开发可再生能源。多年来，比特币挖矿一直是世界上最环保的行业之一，”该提案指出。

“Bitcoin miners are not the only option for demand-side flexibility, but they have the advantage of bringing a direct economic benefit,” it adds.

“比特币矿工并不是需求方灵活性的唯一选择，但它们具有带来直接经济利益的优势，”它补充道。

The Cantonal Government initially requested a rejection of the motion, as reported by Blocktrainer, an educational platform for Bitcoin in the German-speaking regions.

据德语地区比特币教育平台 Blocktrainer 报道，州政府最初要求拒绝该动议。

The council raised concerns about increased energy consumption and power grid instability. They were also worried about the environmental impact of Bitcoin mining and the regulatory risks associated with crypto assets.

该委员会对能源消耗增加和电网不稳定表示担忧。他们还担心比特币挖矿对环境的影响以及与加密资产相关的监管风险。

“Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are not legal tender,” the council stated. “Bitcoin and other crypto assets are beyond monetary policy and thus the safeguarding of price stability by the national bank, as well as state supervision, which is associated with various other risks.”

该委员会表示：“比特币和其他加密货币不是法定货币。” “比特币和其他加密资产超出了货币政策的范围，因此超出了国家银行维护价格稳定的范围，也超出了国家监管的范围，这与各种其他风险相关。”

Despite the opposition, the parliamentary group successfully secured approval from the Grand Council. The government council will now conduct a feasibility study on Bitcoin mining in the canton, examining factors including energy availability, environmental impact, and regulatory considerations.

尽管遭到反对，议会小组还是成功获得了大议会的批准。政府委员会现在将对在该州进行比特币开采进行可行性研究，审查包括能源可用性、环境影响和监管考虑在内的因素。

Depending on the findings and recommendations from the report, there may be further steps to develop policies or regulations that facilitate responsible Bitcoin mining practices.

根据报告的调查结果和建议，可能会采取进一步措施来制定政策或法规，以促进负责任的比特币挖矿实践。
