摘要
2021年10月1日，国际媒体报道称，萨尔瓦多刚刚开始使用火山能源开采比特币。美国全国广播公司财经频道(CNBC)报道称，“萨尔瓦多利用火山的电力开采了0.0059918个比特币，当时约为269.00美元。”就在三个月前，总统纳伊布·布克莱(Nayib Bukele)指示国有地热电力公司LaGeo S.A. de c.v.“制定一项计划，为比特币挖矿提供非常便宜、100%清洁、100%可再生、零排放的火山能源。”但是在三个月内建一个地热发电厂是真的吗?从地热资源中开采比特币有利可图吗?这不是一个透明的政府，信息很难获取。然而，由于政府需要宣传，并希望成为一个精通技术的政府，因此他们展示了一些采矿作业的细节。早期的分析显示，挖矿没有新的发电厂，也没有利润。比特币挖矿的赌注似乎适得其反，显示出生产加密货币的虚假承诺与经济现实之间的差距。
Are El Salvador’s Volcanoes Being Harnessed to Power Bitcoin Mining?
On october 1th, 2021, international outlets reported El Salvador had just started mining Bitcoin using energy from volcanoes. CNBC published that “El Salvador had mined 0.0059918 Bitcoin, or about US${\$}$269.00 at the time, with power harnessed from a volcano”. Just three months before, president Nayib Bukele had instructed state-owned geothermal electric company, LaGeo S.A. de C.V., to “put up a plan to offer facilities for Bitcoin mining with very cheap, 100% clean, 100% renewable, 0 emissions energy from our volcanoes.” But how true it was to put up a geothermal electric power plant in three months? Was it profitable to mine Bitcoin from a geothermal source? This has not been the kind of transparent government, information has been hard to acquire. However its need for publicity and its desire to appear as a technology savvy government made them show some details of their mining operation. An early analysis has shown up there was no new power plant nor profit on mining crypto. Bitcoin mining bet appears to be backfiring, showing the gap between false promises of producing crypto money and economic realities.
