随着比特币在2025年持续获得机构采用，其能源消耗与环境影响再次成为舆论焦点。ESG与可持续发展研究者丹尼尔·巴顿（Daniel Batten）指出，围绕比特币挖矿的许多批评并非基于数据，而是源于对技术机制的误解。他总结了关于比特币能源问题的九大常见迷思，并用现实世界的数据逐一反驳。
首先，关于“比特币交易消耗大量能源、水资源和电子垃圾”的说法并不成立。多项同行评审研究表明，比特币的能源消耗与交易数量无关，这意味着网络交易规模可以扩展，而无需同步增加能源投入。这一结论与传统支付系统的线性扩展模式截然不同。
其次，比特币挖矿被指“破坏电网稳定”同样是误解。实际情况是，挖矿作为可中断负载，能够在电力过剩时吸收多余电能，在需求高峰时迅速退出，对以可再生能源为主的电网（如美国得州）反而起到稳定作用。
第三个常见说法是，比特币矿工推高了普通用户的电费。巴顿指出，目前没有可靠数据或研究支持这一结论，反而有案例显示，挖矿需求为电力项目提供了稳定的“最后买家”，有助于摊薄整体用电成本。
此外，将比特币的能源消耗直接与某些国家作比较，本身就具有误导性。根据IPCC的观点，评估气候影响的关键不在于能源使用总量，而在于能源结构是否向低碳、可再生方向转型。比特币挖矿本身并不产生直接排放，其碳足迹主要来自电力来源。
在可持续性方面，巴顿强调，比特币是目前少数拥有第三方数据验证、可再生能源使用率已超过50%的全球性行业。相比之下，简单地认为权益证明（PoS）一定比工作量证明（PoW）更环保，是将“能耗”与“环境危害”混为一谈。PoW在减少甲烷排放、利用火炬气、提升可再生能源经济性方面，反而具备独特优势。
关于“比特币挖矿浪费可再生能源”的批评，数据同样显示相反结论。挖矿能够将原本被弃用的风能和太阳能转化为经济价值，并推动偏远地区获得稳定电力供应。例如，非洲的相关项目已为数万人提供了可再生能源接入。
总体来看，围绕比特币能源消耗的争议，很大程度上源于旧有认知框架。随着更多数据披露和应用案例落地，比特币挖矿在能源转型和可持续发展中的实际角色，正在被重新评估。
