Fondasyon Wikimedia Deba Akseptasyon nan Don Cryptocurrency sou enkyetid anviwònman an
Apre desizyon Mozilla pou pran yon poz kriptografik don akòz enkyetid anviwònman an, yon kantite manm kominote Wikimedia Foundation te soumèt yon pwopozisyon ki mande fondasyon an sispann aksepte don lajan dijital. Pwopozisyon an eksplike ke donasyon kriptografik yo "siyal [yon] andòsman nan espas kriptografik la," epi tou li di ke "Cryptocurrencies pa ka aliman ak angajman Fondasyon Wikimedia pou dirab anviwònman an."
Pwopozisyon reklamasyon Cryptocurrencies pa ka aliman ak Fondasyon Wikimedia
Members of the Wikimedia Foundation are voting on a proposal that could stop the foundation from accepting digital currencies like bitcoin and ethereum. The U.S. non-profit te kòmanse aksepte crypto assets in 2019 via Bitpay. “We accept donations globally, and we strive to provide a large variety of donation options. It’s very important that we can get international donations processed in ways that are efficient and cost-effective,” Pats Pena, director of payments and operations at Wikimedia Foundation said at the time.
Sepandan, yon pwopozisyon submitted by the user dubbed “Gorillawarfare” claims that accepting crypto donations goes against specific Wikimedia Foundation principles. “Cryptocurrencies may not align with the Wikimedia Foundation’s commitment to environmental sustainability. Bitcoin and ethereum are the two most highly-used cryptocurrencies, and are both proof-of-work, using an enormous amount of energy,” the proposal says.
While the proposal mentions the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index it leverages a lot of the research done by the Digiconomist’s Bitcoin Energy Consumption Index. The proposal seems to have a lot of support as voting members left comments signaling affirmation. “Long overdue. Accepting cryptocurrency makes a joke out of the WMF’s commitment to environmental sustainability,” Wikimedia user Gamaliel said. However, not everyone agreed and in fact, there are a great number of people who voiced the opposite opinion. In reply to Gamaliel’s statement, for instance, one person wrote:
Èske w konnen ke sistèm bankè tradisyonèl la tou itilize enèji?
Endividi ensiste 'Chak pwen se pa vre ak/oswa twonpe'
There is some discussion from a few people’s submitted comments that insists Wikimedia Foundation members should realize the U.S. dollar is backed by significant amounts of carbon energy ak worst of all, state-enforced violence. One person explained that each point that Gorillawarfare brought up in the proposal “is untrue and/or misleading.” For example, the point about being aligned with the crypto industry’s so-called values. The individual retorted that “this is not true, any more than accepting USD signals endorsement of the U.S. Dollar or the U.S. Government.”
In reply to the environmental concerns Gorillawarfare introduced in the proposal, the individual explained that the proposal’s point is conflated. “The proposal conflates the existence of Bitcoin to merely using it,” the Wikimedia Foundation member Awwright opined. “The proposal does not demonstrate that dropping acceptance of Bitcoin (or other cryptocurrency) will actually have an effect. As a technical matter, there is no direct relationship between making a Bitcoin transaction and energy usage (that’s significantly more than the domestic banking system).”
Kòmantè yo mete aksan sou patipri ki soti nan Digiconomist la
Furthermore, there are many complaints about Gorillawarfare citing the Digiconomist, as the researcher’s work has been widely dismissed over inaccuracies and extreme bias. “Digiconomist is a blog run by Alex de Vries, who is an anplwaye of De Nederlandsche Bank NV (DNB), the central bank of the Netherlands, which is a direct competitor to Bitcoin,” one of the comments against Gorillawarfare’s proposal notes. Another individual explained that the Digiconomist’s work is kòrèk, as many others have discovered, and the Digiconomist’s work is loaded with discrepancies. One individual wrote:
Digiconomist se pa sèlman patipri ak konfli. De Vries se pwòp tèt ou pibliye, pa gen okenn pwosesis revizyon editoryal epi li gen yon repitasyon pòv pou tcheke reyalite ak presizyon.
Nan moman sa a, gen yon myriad de moun ki kont pwopozisyon Gorillawarfare te soumèt, men pati lyon an nan vòt yo ak kòmantè sipòte lide a. Li sanble kominote kript la ak moun k ap defann prèv travay (PoW) dwe travay pi di pou elimine mit ki ap sikile nan men ekspè medya endikap yo, ansyen gad finansye a, ak chèchè opozisyon ki peye yo.
