On a ranch in northern Wyoming, not far from the Belle Fourche river, a few hundred calves are making history. They are being tagged and castrated and branded with irons, as is normal, a couple of months after birth. But what is new is that their IDs are now logged on a blockchain: part of a push by America’s least populated and most minerals-dependent state to position itself at the front of the “crypto” revolution.
在美國(guó)懷俄明州北部,離貝爾富什河(Belle Fourche River)不遠(yuǎn)處的一座農(nóng)場(chǎng),幾百頭小牛正在創(chuàng)造歷史。它們?cè)诔錾鷥蓚€(gè)月后被打了標(biāo)記,做了閹割,用烙鐵烙了烙印,這都是慣例。其新鮮之處在于,它們的身份現(xiàn)在被登記在區(qū)塊鏈上。此舉是美國(guó)人口最少、最依賴(lài)礦產(chǎn)的州的一項(xiàng)努力的一部分,目的是置身于“加密”革命的前沿。
