विकिमीडिया फाउन्डेशनले वातावरणीय सरोकारहरूमा क्रिप्टोकरेन्सी दानहरूको स्वीकृतिमा बहस गर्छ

वातावरणीय सरोकारका कारण क्रिप्टो चन्दा रोक्ने Mozilla को निर्णय पछि, विकिमीडिया फाउन्डेसन समुदायका धेरै सदस्यहरूले एउटा प्रस्ताव पेस गरेका छन् जसले फाउन्डेशनलाई डिजिटल मुद्रा चन्दाहरू स्वीकार गर्न बन्द गर्न आग्रह गरेको छ। प्रस्तावले व्याख्या गर्दछ कि क्रिप्टो दानहरूले "क्रिप्टोकरेन्सी स्पेसको समर्थन [एक] संकेत दिन्छ," र यो पनि भन्छ कि "क्रिप्टोकरेन्सीहरू विकिमीडिया फाउन्डेसनको पर्यावरणीय स्थिरताको प्रतिबद्धतासँग मिल्दैन।"

प्रस्ताव दावी क्रिप्टोकरेन्सीहरू विकिमीडिया फाउन्डेशनसँग पङ्क्तिबद्ध नहुन सक्छ


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 स्वीकार गर्न सुरु भयो 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.



यद्यपि, ए प्रस्ताव 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:

के तपाईलाई थाहा छ कि परम्परागत बैंकिङ प्रणालीले पनि ऊर्जा प्रयोग गर्छ?

व्यक्तिगत रूपमा 'प्रत्येक बिन्दु असत्य र/वा भ्रामक छ'


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 energyworst 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).”

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 कर्मचारी 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 गलत, as many others have discovered, and the Digiconomist’s work is loaded with discrepancies. One individual wrote:

Digiconomist पक्षपाती र विवादास्पद मात्र होइन। De Vries स्वयं प्रकाशित छ, कुनै सम्पादकीय समीक्षा प्रक्रिया छैन र तथ्य-जाँच र शुद्धता को लागी उनको कम प्रतिष्ठा छ।


लेखनको समयमा, त्यहाँ असंख्य व्यक्तिहरू छन् जो गोरिल्लावारफेयर द्वारा पेश गरिएको प्रस्तावको विरुद्धमा छन्, तर मत र टिप्पणीहरूको सिंहको हिस्साले विचारलाई समर्थन गर्दछ। यस्तो देखिन्छ कि क्रिप्टो समुदाय र प्रमाण-अफ-वर्क (PoW) का समर्थकहरूले मुख्यधाराका मिडिया पण्डितहरू, पुरानो वित्तीय गार्डहरू, र सशुल्क विपक्षी अनुसन्धानकर्ताहरूबाट प्रसारित मिथकहरूलाई हटाउन कडा मेहनत गर्नुपर्छ।

तपाइँ विकिमीडिया फाउन्डेसनको प्रस्ताव बारे के सोच्नुहुन्छ जसले फाउन्डेशनले वातावरणीय सरोकारहरूमा क्रिप्टो सम्पत्तिहरू स्वीकार गर्न बन्द गर्न सुझाव दिन्छ? हामीलाई थाहा दिनुहोस् कि तपाइँ तलको टिप्पणी सेक्सनमा यस विषयमा के सोच्नुहुन्छ।
