Sichuan, China will take steps to remain attractive to miners. Now more than half of the world’s mining Bitcoin mining facilities are concentrated in the region.
According to a message received on Monday from a local party organization, the Sichuan Decision Advisory Committee – a government-backed think tank – held a meeting on Sunday to discuss topics related to the future development of the province.
During the meeting, former vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission Yang Jiang, now a member of the think tank, said the combination of Bitcoin, blockchain and excess hydropower in Sichuan should create new opportunities for companies in the region. Commentary made on ongoing investigation
local authorities operate Bitcoin mining enterprises in Sichuan, which are allegedly being created without the necessary permits.
Jiang added that currently 70% of all BTC is mined in Sichuan, since excess and cheap hydropower, especially in the summer, has historically been attractive to Bitcoin miners. At the same time, the Coinshare blockchain startup estimated that as of June this year, just over half of the BTC production capacity is located in Sichuan.
“Blockchain can be involved in any industry. Its main applications in the financial sector – digital currency and bitcoin – are key examples, ”said Jiang.
Jiang suggested that the Sichuan administration devote efforts to further exploring how the region’s excess hydropower will help maintain attractiveness for cryptocurrency industries in order to explore new economic opportunities and growth.
Recall that last week the Standing Committee of the All-China Assembly of People’s Representatives (NPC) adopted
The first cryptography law in the history of the country, which will enter into force on January 1, 2020. In addition, after a recent speech by the Chairman of the People’s Republic of China, Xi Jinping, interest in blockchain and cryptocurrencies in the country has grown sharply.
