The Kazakhstan Pertambangan Exodus Geus Flipped Bitcoin Pikeun Dominasi Bersih-Énergi
After Kazakhstan forced out Bitcoin mining operations, the majority of global hash rate is now produced with clean energy.
Kazakhstan éta, dina jangkungna, éta kadua panggedéna Bitcoin mining nation on earth. Then, within a year, it capitulated. While mainstream news commentators were quick to pick through the reasons for why Kazakh authorities turned against Bitcoin operasi tambang, konsékuansi ieu miboga on greening sahiji jaringan indit unreported.
But because Kazakhstan is fuelled 87.6% by fossil fuel, less mining there means a higher clean energy mix for the Bitcoin jaringan.
Sabaraha luhur?
Éta naon kuring nanya ka sorangan. Jeung jawaban kuring kapanggih éta héran.sumber

A razia dimana parabot ti 13 kebon pertambangan ilegal ieu nyita. Operasi diperkirakeun ngagunakeun kakuatan leuwih 200 megawatt (MW).. A follow-up raid on remaining known illegal mining activities which seized assets from salajengna 106 operasi pertambangan.The regulated curtailment of mining. Bitcoin mining can now only legally occur at the off-peak hours of tengah wengi ka 8:00 sarta dina weekends: pangurangan tina 168 jam pertambangan per minggu ka ukur 64 jam pertambangan per minggu.Ngajalankeun sababaraha itungan, sanajan dina bangbarung luhur paling bullish, Kazakhstan ayeuna ngagambarkeun di pangalusna 6.4% laju Hash global.
Janten, naon hartosna ieu Bitcoin’s clean energy mix?
Ieu ngajadikeun bédana geulis signifikan, anjeun tiasa ningali. Eksodus ti Kazakhstan ngabalikeun jaringan pikeun janten mayoritas pangguna énergi bersih. Kuring lumpat simulasi on abdi model sumber énergi kalawan Kazakhstan masih di 18.3% tina laju Hash global. Ieu naon anu sigana: mayoritas panggunaan bahan bakar fosil.
Because Kazakhstan uses so much coal (a much heavier greenhouse-gas emitter than natural gas) the difference to emissions is even more significant. At 18.3% of total hash rate, Bitcoin emissions would've been 36 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent C(MTCO2e). But at current levels, emissions are only 32.4 MtCO2e. That's a 10% reduction in emissions.
Sapuluh persén réduksi émisi anu signifikan. Aya sababaraha industri di dunya anu parantos ngahontal ieu dina sataun. Sareng upami aya, anjeun sigana bakal nguping sadayana ngeunaan éta.
An important sidenote: Have you ever seen a Bitcoin mining unit with its own internal combustion engine? Neither have I. Bitcoin mining, like electric vehicles (EVs), uses electricity as its power source. As such, if an EV can claim to be zero emissions, then so can Bitcoin mining. So, when we talk about emission, we are talking about the indirect emissions caused by the component of electricity that was generated using fossil fuels.
In summary: The Bitcoin network keeps tracking in the right direction, but you have to dig to find this out.
Sareng sababaraha pamikiran ahir ngeunaan tempat kami nuju:
According to my model, the Bitcoin network uses 4.7% more clean energy now than it did even just a year ago. The factors that have led to this are:
The exodus from KazakhstanThe migration of Sésana pertambangan dumasar-batubara Marathon kana suplai anu tiasa diperbaharuiTerus migrasi ka arah pertambangan anu tiasa diperbaharui, off-gridTren ieu henteu nunjukkeun tanda-tanda abating.
