多年来,数字资产的“耗电”本质一直是比特币怀疑论者的一个容易攻击的目标。从国际货币基金组织和联合国到立法者和行业领袖
Institutions are increasingly showing interest in digital assets, and as a result, there is a growing demand for sustainable solutions within the digital asset sector. This is because a significant portion of institutional investors' portfolios is allocated to ESG-compliant assets. In an interview with CoinGeek Backstage, Kirsteen Harrison, director of sustainability at Zumo, highlighted the nuances of the energy consumption narrative and how it can be a strength for the digital asset sector.
机构对数字资产越来越感兴趣,因此,数字资产领域对可持续解决方案的需求不断增长。这是因为机构投资者投资组合的很大一部分分配给了符合 ESG 的资产。 Zumo 可持续发展总监 Kirsteen Harrison 在接受 CoinGeek Backstage 采访时强调了能源消耗叙述的细微差别以及它如何成为数字资产领域的优势。
Zumo is an Edinburgh, Scotland-based company that provides digital asset solutions with a focus on sustainability and compliance. As a digital asset intermediary, Zumo realized the importance of addressing the sector's carbon footprint early on. This led to the creation of Oxygen, an institutional crypto sustainability service.
Zumo 是一家总部位于苏格兰爱丁堡的公司,提供专注于可持续性和合规性的数字资产解决方案。作为数字资产中介机构,Zumo 很早就意识到解决该行业碳足迹的重要性。这导致了 Oxygen 的创建,这是一项机构加密可持续发展服务。
Harrison explained that Oxygen helps institutional investors align their digital asset investments with ESG principles. It also caters to exchanges, wallets, banks, fintechs, and other intermediaries.
Harrison 解释说,Oxygen 帮助机构投资者将其数字资产投资与 ESG 原则结合起来。它还服务于交易所、钱包、银行、金融科技公司和其他中介机构。
“We work with them to quantify [their energy consumption and carbon footprint] and apportion it, and then we work with them to mitigate against that through the procurement of renewable energy certificates and to prove that on the blockchain, too.”
“我们与他们合作,量化[他们的能源消耗和碳足迹]并进行分配,然后我们与他们合作,通过购买可再生能源证书来减轻这种影响,并在区块链上证明这一点。”
Harrison participated in a panel at the London Blockchain Conference that discussed embedding sustainability in the digital asset ETF revolution. The company also played a key role in the launch of Europe's first ESG-aligned spot BTC ETF, by Jacobi Asset Management.
Harrison 参加了伦敦区块链会议的一个小组讨论,该小组讨论了将可持续性融入数字资产 ETF 革命中。该公司还在 Jacobi Asset Management 推出欧洲首个符合 ESG 的现货 BTC ETF 中发挥了关键作用。
Harrison, who has been in the sustainability sector for over two decades, believes that the narrative around the energy consumption of the digital asset sector fails to take into account important nuances. For example, critics often reduce everything to a single electricity consumption figure, which tends to paint the sector as power-hungry without considering the economic impact.
哈里森在可持续发展领域工作了二十多年,他认为有关数字资产领域能源消耗的叙述未能考虑到重要的细微差别。例如,批评者经常将所有数据简化为一个电力消耗数字,这往往会将该行业描绘为耗电行业,而不考虑经济影响。
However, she told CoinGeek Backstage host Becky Liggero that this oversimplification can be a strength for the sector.
然而,她告诉 CoinGeek Backstage 主持人 Becky Liggero,这种过度简化可能是该行业的优势。
“The fact that we can point easily to that number, which is our carbon footprint, means that we can take action to reduce it through the use of renewable energy.”
“事实上,我们可以轻松指出这个数字,即我们的碳足迹,这意味着我们可以采取行动,通过使用可再生能源来减少碳足迹。”
Another nuance that is rarely highlighted is the utility of Bitcoin. Other related sectors, such as traditional finance, assess their environmental impact based on their utility, not the raw input. For example, the aviation sector consumes 2,500 TWh annually and is responsible for 2.5% of global CO₂ emissions, nearly twenty times that of the digital asset sector. However, its utility and impact on the global economy justify this raw energy use.
另一个很少被强调的细微差别是比特币的实用性。其他相关部门,例如传统金融,根据其效用而不是原始投入来评估其环境影响。例如,航空业每年消耗 2,500 太瓦时的电力,占全球二氧化碳排放量的 2.5%,几乎是数字资产行业的 20 倍。然而,其效用和对全球经济的影响证明了这种原始能源的使用是合理的。
Adding to the narrative is the utility of individual blockchains. Some, like BTC and Ethereum, have remained limited to a handful of transactions per second, which makes them only useful for the elite and the speculators. BSV, on the other hand, scales unbounded, facilitating thousands of transactions per second. With the Teranode upgrade early next year, the network will process over a million transactions per second, making it the only enterprise-ready blockchain network globally.
单个区块链的实用性也增加了叙述的内容。有些交易,比如比特币和以太坊,每秒的交易数量仍然有限,这使得它们只对精英和投机者有用。另一方面,BSV 可以无限扩展,每秒可促进数千笔交易。随着明年初的 Teranode 升级,该网络每秒将处理超过一百万笔交易,使其成为全球唯一适合企业使用的区块链网络。
In recent years, the energy consumption debate has shifted towards bashing proof-of-work and advocating for proof-of-stake as the improved consensus mechanism. However, PoS deviates from the decentralization ethos of blockchain technology, handing the power of providing consensus to a small group of elites with the most tokens. Even then, it still doesn’t scale for enterprise use, as Ethereum has proven.
近年来,关于能源消耗的争论已经转向抨击工作量证明并提倡将权益证明作为改进的共识机制。然而,PoS 背离了区块链技术的去中心化精神,将提供共识的权力交给了一小群拥有最多代币的精英。即便如此,正如以太坊所证明的那样,它仍然无法扩展到企业用途。
As Satoshi Nakamoto designed it, BSV has proven that proof-of-work scales unboundedly for global use with the lowest fees and a stable protocol while still being energy-efficient.
正如中本聪所设计的那样,BSV 已经证明,工作量证明可以无限扩展,以最低的费用和稳定的协议在全球范围内使用,同时仍然节能。
