UMongameli wase-El Salvador uNayib Bukele uye wachaza inkqubo “yokurenta eyakho intaba-mlilo” njengendlela yokusebenzisa amandla e-geothermal ukunika amandla imigodi yeBitcoin.
Isityhilelo seza emva kokuba umsebenzisi we-X abelane ukuba i-El Salvador iye ngoku igrubile i-474 Bitcoin , exabisa malunga ne-46 yezigidi zeedola (ngexesha lokubhala), ngoncedo lwamandla e-volcanic geothermal. UBukele uphendule lo myalezo, esithi : "Kwaye ngeentaba-mlilo ezili-170 ... 'Ukurenta eyakho intaba-mlilo ukuze kwam iBitcoin' inkqubo inokuvakala."
Idatha epapashwe yi -Spotonchain ibonisa ukuba urhulumente waseSalvador okwangoku uphethe i-Bitcoin ye-5,900, exabisa malunga ne-581.399 yezigidi zeedola ngexesha lokubhala. Ngomhla woku-1 kuNovemba, eli nani lalimalunga ne-410 yezigidi zeedola.
Ngo-2021, i-El Salvador yaba lilizwe lokuqala ukwamkela i-Bitcoin njengethenda esemthethweni. Ii-ATM zeBitcoin zavela kulo lonke ilizwe, kwaye urhulumente wabhengeza izicwangciso zokwakha "iBitcoin City." Isixeko sasiza kwakhiwa emazantsi entaba-mlilo iConchagua kumazantsi-mpuma eLa Unión, athe uBukele uza kubandakanya “Iindawo zokuhlala, iindawo zorhwebo, iinkonzo, iimyuziyam, ulonwabo, imivalo, iindawo zokutyela, isikhululo seenqwelomoya, izibuko, isiporo. -yonke into enikelwe kwiBitcoin. Nangona kunjalo, le projekthi iye yajongana nokulibaziseka okuninzi.
I-Bitcoin nayo ijongene nokuthandwa okulinganiselweyo kweli lizwe, apho i-26.6% yabemi yayihlala ngaphantsi komgca wentlupheko kazwelonke ngo-2022. Ngo-2023, uphando olwenziwa yi-El Salvador's Central American University lubonise ukuba i-71.1% yabantu baseSalvador bavakalelwa kukuba i-Bitcoin ayenzanga "nto". ” ukuphucula iimeko zezimali zeentsapho, ngelixa uphando olupapashwe ngo-Oktobha 2024 yiYunivesithi yaseSan Salvador yaseFrancisco Gavidia yafumanisa ukuba i -92% Abantu baseSalvador abakwenzi ukuthengiselana ngeBitcoin.
Ngelixa abanye bejonga amandla e-geothermal njengokhetho oluzinzileyo lwemigodi yeBitcoin, abanye bayathandabuza ngakumbi.
U-Álvaro Trigueros, umlawuli weSebe leZifundo zezoQoqosho kwiSiseko seSalvadoran soPhuhliso lwezoQoqosho kunye noLuntu (i-FUSADES), uxelele iDeutsche Welle ngo-2021: "Ngokomthamo wamandla ofakiweyo e-El Salvador, ukuveliswa kombane welizwe kunqongophala. I-19.9 pesenti yamandla asetyenzisiweyo kufuneka ithunyelwe kumazwe angaphandle. Wongeze wathi: “Ekubeni ilizwe lingenako ukuzimela, ukuba iBitcoin ibiyembiwa e-El Salvador, oko bekuya kubangela ukwanda okugqithisileyo kwemfuno yombane kwaye ilizwe liya kunyanzelwa ukuba lingenise ngaphezulu.”
Kwangaloo nyaka, uRicardo Navarro, intloko ye-NGO yendalo esingqongileyo yaseSalvadoran Centre for Appropriate Technology (CESTA) uxelele IPOLITICO : “Ndiphantsi koluvo lokuba uBukele akayiqondi kakuhle into eyenzekayo kwimeko yamandla,” echaza ukuba yayiyinyani. akunakwenzeka ukuba abasebenzi basezimayini beBitcoin babenako ukuzalisekisa iimfuno zabo zombane ngokuxhomekeka kwiintaba-mlilo kuphela. Wongezelela ukuba imigodi yeBitcoin ye-geothermal iya "ngokuqinisekileyo" inzima imfuno.
Nangona kunjalo, u-Erick Chacon , umongameli we-Salvadoran Financial Technology Association ( ASAFINTECH ) uxelele iiNgxelo zaseLatin America ukuba ithemba "lokuqasha i-volcano yakho" inkqubo "ibonisa umbono wokudala kunye nokuphazamisayo oye wabonakalisa i-El Salvador njengenkokeli yehlabathi kwi-volcano". ukwamkelwa kweetekhnoloji ezivelayo. ” UChacon wachaza ukuba, ngoxa iingcamango ezinjalo “ekuqaleni zisenokubonakala zingaqhelekanga,” “zivelisa incoko, zitsalela ingqalelo yamazwe ngamazwe, yaye zilibeke ilizwe njengendawo enomtsalane kutyalo-mali kubugcisa.”
UChacon wongezelela ngelithi, ngaphambi kokuba le ngcamango iphunyezwe, “kufuneka kuqhutywe izifundo zobugcisa, ezoqoqosho nezokusingqongileyo” ukuze kuqinisekiswe ukuba ubutyebi belizwe busetyenziswa “ngokufanelekileyo, ngokuzinzileyo nangokuvisisana nemithetho yelizwe nehlabathi.”
I-ASAFINTECH, ngokutsho kweChacon, "iqinisekile ukuba ingxoxo kunye nohlalutyo olwakhayo lubalulekile kwi-El Salvador ukuqhubeka nokukhokela ummandla kubuchwepheshe bezemali kunye nokwamkelwa kweBitcoin."
UAlastair Caithness , uMcebisi weMigodi weBitcoin kunye nomphathi weBoom ! Ikwipodikasti yeBlockchain , ecaciselwe kwiiNgxelo zaseLatin America ukuba ukusetyenziswa kwe-El Salvador yamandla e-geothermal kwimigodi yeBitcoin ibonelela “zombini iingenelo kunye nobubi.” UCaithness wathi “amandla avela kubushushu obuphantsi komhlaba agqalwa njengezinzileyo, enokuthenjwa, yaye ayingcolisi imeko-bume, nto leyo ebangela ukukhutshwa kwegesi encinane ye<em>greenhouse,” wongezelela ngelithi: “Ngokungafaniyo nomoya okanye ilanga, amandla obushushu afumaneka imini nobusuku, engachatshazelwa yimozulu nokutshintsha kwemozulu.”
Noko ke, uCaithness wathi: “Ukusetyenziswa kwamandla obushushu bomhlaba kwimigodi yeBitcoin kulinganiselwe ngokwelizwe kwimimandla enokufikelelwa kubushushu bomhlaba, njengeendawo ezinentaba-mlilo okanye iitectonic plate boundaries,” “ethintela ukusetyenziswa kwayo ngokubanzi.” Ukongeza, uthe ukuthuthwa kwamandla e-geothermal ukuya kwiindawo zemigodi ezikude kunokuba yindleko, "ukunciphisa ukwamkelwa okukhulu kwiindawo ezingenazo izixhobo ze-geothermal."
Ngaphandle kwale mingeni, uCaithness ukholelwa ukuba "imfuno ekhulayo yamandla kwimigodi ye-crypto, amaziko edatha, kunye ne-AI inika ithuba elibalulekileyo kumandla obushushu be-El Salvador," ibeka ilizwe "njengomdlali ophambili kwikamva lemigodi yeBitcoin kunye indawo ebanzi yamandla e-crypto. "
UFarbod Esmaeilion , umphandi ophezulu kwiYunivesithi yeTekhnoloji ye-KN Toosi e-Iran kunye nombhali-mbhali wophando olunokwenzeka malunga nokuveliswa kweBitcoin ngamandla ombane we-geothermal, uxelele Iingxelo zaseLatin America ukuba amandla e-geothermal yeyona ndlela "ezinzileyo" ye-Bitcoin yemigodi.
Noko ke, waphawula ukuba kumele kubekho “ingqwalasela yokusingqongileyo” ngaphambi kokuba kwenziwe ezo zicwangciso. Phakathi kwezi ngqwalasela, ngokutsho kwe-Esmaeilion, kukuba kunokwenzeka ukungcoliseka kwamanzi, okunokuthi kwenzeke ngexesha lokwakhiwa kwemithombo ye-geothermal. Wathi kukho umngcipheko wokuba "izinto kunye ne-detrite" zingene kwimithombo yamanzi ekufutshane, kuquka namanzi okusela, apho oorhulumente kufuneka balawule ngaphambi kokuba baqalise iiprojekthi ezinkulu zemigodi ye-geothermal Bitcoin.
Omnye umngeni owenziwe yimigodi ye-geothermal Bitcoin kukuba kuchongwe iziza apho izityalo ze-geothermal zinokwakhiwa khona. U-Esmaeilion uchaze ukuba oorhulumente kufuneka bafumane "ezona ndawo zilungileyo kunye nezona ndawo zifanelekileyo" kwezi zenzo, beqinisekisa ukuba naziphi na iisayithi ezinokubakho kubushushu obufunekayo kwimigodi yeBitcoin. Wongeze wathi: "Isiqingatha seli bali siphantsi komhlaba."
U-Esmaeilion ukwathe oorhulumente kufuneka benze "ingqwalasela yezoqoqosho," kuba "ixabiso eliphezulu lotyalo-mali" liyafuneka ngaphambi kokuba iiprojekthi ezifana ne-Bukele's "rentise intaba-mlilo" yakho isebenze, ngakumbi xa kujongwa ukuba amandla omhlaba "abiza kakhulu" kunomoya okanye ezinye iindlela zelanga.
Nangona uBukele uye wagxininisa ngokuphindaphindiweyo ukuzinikela kwakhe kwi-cryptocurrencies, kuya kuhlala kubonakala ukuba urhulumente wakhe uzimisele kangakanani kwaye uyakwazi ukutyala imali kwimigodi ye-geothermal Bitcoin. Nangona kunjalo, oku kunokutshintsha ukuba ixabiso lotyalo-mali lwe-crypto yelizwe liyaqhubeka nokunyuka njengoko lenzile kwiinyanga zakutshanje.
