Ka tautohetohe a Wikimedia Foundation mo te Whakaaetanga mo nga Koha Moni Moni Mo Nga Maharahara Taiao
Whai muri i te whakatau a Mozilla ki te whakamutu i nga koha crypto na runga i nga awangawanga o te taiao, he maha nga mema o te hapori o Wikimedia Foundation kua tukuna he tono e tono ana ki te turanga kia mutu te whakaae ki nga koha moni mamati. Ko te tono e whakamarama ana ko nga koha crypto "he tohu [he] whakamanatanga mo te waahi cryptocurrency," me te kii ano hoki "Kaore pea nga moni crypto e hono ki te piripono a te Wikimedia Foundation ki te oranga o te taiao."
Ko nga Kerēme Tono Kare pea e Whakakotahitia ki te Kaupapa 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 ka tiimata te whakaae 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.
Heoi, a tono 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:
Kei te mohio koe ko te punaha putea tuku iho e whakamahi ana i te kaha?
Ka tohe te tangata takitahi 'Kare he pono, he pohehe ranei ia tohu'
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 a 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).”
Ka Whakamanahia e nga Kai-Korero Ko te Bias I ahu mai i te Digiconomist
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 kaimahi 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 he hore, as many others have discovered, and the Digiconomist’s work is loaded with discrepancies. One individual wrote:
Ko te Digiconomist ehara i te mea kookiri noa, ko te tautohetohe. Ko De Vries he mea whakaputa ake, karekau he tukanga arotake etita, he kino tona ingoa mo te tirotiro me te tika.
I te wa e tuhi ana, he tini nga tangata e whakahee ana i te tono i tukuna e Gorillawarfare, engari ko te roopu o nga pooti me nga korero e tautoko ana i te whakaaro. Te ahua nei me kaha ake te mahi a te hapori crypto me nga kaitautoko o te proof-of-work (PoW) ki te whakakore i nga pakiwaitara e rere ana mai i nga kaitoi purongo auraki, te kaitiaki putea tawhito, me nga kairangahau whakahē utu.
He aha to whakaaro mo te kaupapa Wikimedia Foundation e kii ana kia mutu te whakaae a te turanga ki nga rawa crypto mo nga awangawanga taiao? Me mohio koe ki o whakaaro mo tenei kaupapa i roto i te waahanga korero i raro nei.
