【内容摘要】
Cryptomining is highly energy-intensive, yet its nature of high mobility hinders monitoring and governance. Exploiting seasonal fluctuations in hydroelectric supply in the world's (former) largest mining hub, we uncover a novel nomadic pattern: mining operations shift from hydro- to coal-dependent regions during the dry season and reverse in the wet season, leading to seasonal shifts in pollution emissions. We estimate a pollution-health cost of $0.75 for every $1 of coal-powered Bitcoin, compared to near zero for hydro-powered Bitcoin. Our results point to dynamic and coordinated electricity pricing as a policy lever for regulating this mobile, energy-intensive industry.
