Changpeng Zhao poziva Elona Muska zaradi njegovega domnevnega dvojnega standarda glede električne energije za pridobivanje kripto

Changpeng Zhao – the CEO of Binance, arguably the largest and most popular cryptocurrency exchange by daily trading volume – has called out Elon Musk over his alleged lack of willingness to accept bitcoin payments for Tesla-based goods and services.

Elon Musk je pritegnil nekaj reakcij iz Zhaoja

It appears Zhao has issues with Musk’s recent words regarding the mining process behind bitcoin. While Tesla was initially set to accept bitcoin as a method of payment, Musk later rescinded this decision claiming that the extraction process behind new coins was causing serious environmental concerns.

Družba je pozneje izdala naslednjo izjavo:

Tesla je ustavil nakupe vozil z uporabo bitcoinov. Skrbi nas hitro naraščajoča uporaba fosilnih goriv za pridobivanje bitcoinov in transakcije, zlasti premog, ki ima najslabše emisije med gorivi. Kriptovaluta je dobra ideja na mnogih ravneh in verjamemo, da ima obetavno prihodnost, vendar to za okolje ne more imeti velikih stroškov.

Musk is now striving to ensure all mainstream miners divulge their clean energy statistics so that buyers know where their electricity sources are stemming from.

Vse bi bilo v redu, razen ene številke, ki jo ima Zhao. Tesla je podjetje za električne avtomobile in ni preveč vesel dvojnega standarda, ki ga ima Musk. Očitno je v redu, če elektriko uporabljamo za izdelavo vozil, toda ko gre za rudarstvo kripto, je to povsem druga igra. Kakor koli že, Zhao je Muska prek družbenih omrežij poklical in zapisal naslednje:

Ko za vožnjo avtomobilov uporabljate elektriko, je to okolju prijazno. Ko elektriko uporabljate za vodenje najučinkovitejšega finančnega omrežja na svetu, je to skrb za okolje.

Teslina nenadna zavrnitev plačil bitcoinov je na koncu privedla do velikega zrušenja kriptovalut, zaradi katerega se je cena bitcoinov znižala za nekaj tisoč dolarjev. Pred objavo se je svetovna digitalna valuta številka ena po tržni kapitalizaciji trgovala v razponu od 50,000 dolarjev, čeprav je po Teslini zavrnitvi cena padla na približno 46,000 dolarjev.

The price continued to drop from there when Elon Musk namignil na družbenih omrežjih that he was considering selling his personal stash of BTC, though he has assured followers everywhere that none of the BTC on Tesla’s balance sheet will be parted with.

Rudarski argumenti živijo naprej ...

Musk je pojasnil:

Tesla ne bo prodajal nobenega bitcoina in ga nameravamo uporabiti za transakcije, takoj ko rudarstvo preide na bolj trajnostno energijo.

To be fair, the criticisms that Musk has voiced regarding the crypto mining sector are nothing new, with many reports in recent years claiming that bitcoin mining leaves as big a carbon footprint behind as the city of Las Vegas, Nevada. In addition, some documents claim that bitcoin mining uses more energy than certain countries such as Islandija in Argentina.
