Biden Proposes Tax On Crypto Mining Due To 'Harms They Impose On Society'
President Joe Biden has proposed a punitive tax on cryptocurrency mining operations due to the "harms they impose on society."
主席 喬·拜登 已提議對加密貨幣採礦業務徵收懲罰性稅，因爲 “它們對社會造成的傷害”。
What Happened: In a statement released by the White House CEA on Tuesday, the administration proposes a penalty that could impede profits by levying a tax equal to 30% of a mining company's energy expenses.
發生了甚麼： 在發表的一份聲明中 白宮 CEA 週二，政府提出了一項罰款，該罰款可能會通過徵收相當於礦業公司能源支出30％的稅來阻礙利潤。
The CEA argues that the industry currently enjoys undue financial advantages due to its lack of obligation to cover the full costs of pollution, carbon emissions, and higher energy prices.
CEA認爲，該行業目前享有不必要的財務優勢，因爲它沒有義務支付污染、碳排放和更高的能源價格的全部成本。
While the new rules would only apply to cryptocurrency mining, the CEA says "cryptomining does not generate the local and national economic benefits typically associated with businesses using similar amounts of electricity."
雖然新規定僅適用於加密貨幣挖礦，但CEA表示：“加密採礦不會產生與使用類似電量的企業通常相關的地方和國家經濟利益。”

比特幣 （加密貨幣：BTC）和 以太坊 （CRYPTO：ETH）是使用計算能力開採的兩種最受歡迎的加密貨幣。他們的採礦需要專門的硬件和軟件，並且一直是加密貨幣行業能耗的重要驅動力。
