美国前总统和其他总统候选人将在比特币2024大会上演讲。

这真是一个巨大的变化。

美国政府的多个部门长期以来一直非常反对区块链。

我一直不明白为什么要持反对态度。谁是反对者?我的意思是,除了沃伦参议员,谁会投票反对为地球上所有拥有智能手机的人提供金融包容性?这根本说不通。

9300 万美国人拥有加密货币。他们投票。前总统特朗普 5 月 5 日的言论改变了一切。

短短两周内,美国证券交易委员会批准以太坊 ETF 的市场概率从 6% 上升至 100%。

水门丑闻给我们留下了深刻的教训。HR Haldeman 警告白宫法律顾问 John Dean 不要这么做,因为他观察到:

“一旦牙膏从管子里挤出来,就很难再挤回去了。”

我对区块链也有同样的感觉。中本聪将它发明出来了。

一些监管者绞尽脑汁,试图将其塞回管子里。他们最终放弃了。牙膏永远被挤出去了。

一旦美国证券交易委员会批准了以太坊 ETF,他们实际上就承认了以太坊不是证券。美国地方法院裁定 XRP 不是证券(在大多数情况下)。一切都结束了。

我确实要赞扬那些早早采取行动的机构。2014 年,CFTC 派了一名专员到我位于太浩湖的家中参加我们的第二届区块链峰会。他们举行了公开听证会,并且已经研究了期货七年。美国国税局在 2013 年裁定区块链是财产,而不是货币,因此持有者可享受长期资本利得税待遇。他们应该受到赞扬,因为他们很早就开始制定区块链监管政策,而且制定得非常正确。

本周在纳什维尔举行的比特币 2024大会是我们行业的一次亮相。在早期的一些非常小的活动中宣传区块链之后,我决定参加会议——再给比特币一点推动。我将在 26 日星期五的会议上发言。

为了国家利益

记者:“我记得你曾说过,加密货币是一场‘骗局’,是一场‘即将发生的灾难’。顺便说一句,你说得没错。确实存在灾难和欺诈。”

特朗普:“我一直是对的。”

记者:“但最近,你们开始拥抱社区。你说比特币应该在美国制造。那么告诉我你为什么改变主意。”

特朗普:“因为答案非常相似。如果我们不这样做,中国就会接受它,中国就会拥有它——或者其他人,但最有可能是中国。中国对此非常感兴趣。而且,它不会消失。这太神奇了。我认识了很多人——甚至在旧金山的会议[特朗普 6 月 6 日的筹款活动]。我去了旧金山,遇到了很多人——这些人真的正在成为一个行业。

“现在,如果我把它扔到一边,其他国家就会把它捡起来,最有可能的是中国——他们在这个领域相当先进。所以,你必须考虑一下——我想要的,再说一遍,是对国家有利的。如果我们不这样做……”

——唐纳德·特朗普访谈,彭博商业周刊,2024 年 7 月 16 日

提炼其本质——这实际上是正确的。

无论政策制定者如何大肆宣扬,区块链都无法消失。它只会让区块链流向巴哈马群岛、中国或某个糟糕的地方。这种压制对美国和这些监管机构的选民,即散户投资者/选民,产生了负面影响。

美国存在:加密监管与互联网监管

加密资产监管的先前立场与互联网的其他部分截然相反。

美国政府确实建立了互联网(ARPANET,去年庆祝了 TCP/IP 诞生 50 周年)。随后,美国政府赋予早期互联网公司大量国会优势。特别是,美国为它们提供了监管安全港,并通过免征销售税的方式,为它们提供了 8.25% 的折扣,使其与实体竞争对手相比更具竞争力。结果是,世界上所有最大的互联网公司都在美国(或者基本上是中国复制对象)。

到目前为止,在区块链时代,美国的监管方式产生了相反的效果。它吓坏了 95% 的区块链交易,使其转移到巴哈马和 FTX 等不透明的公司,而不是在美国接受监管。同样,93% 的区块链协议市值来自美国境外的项目。

利益一致

我喜欢这一段。从字面上看,上面这句话中他嘴里说的下一句话是:

“另一件事是,我做了 NFT 之类的事情。我注意到 80% 的钱是用加密货币支付的。这太不可思议了。所以,NFT 非常成功。我们有一年的时间把它卖光,一天就卖光了。全部卖光了:45,000 张卡片。我做了三次,我打算再做一次,因为人们希望我再做一次。这种精神令人难以置信。很美。但我真正注意到的是,所有的东西都是用加密货币支付的,用这种新货币。这让我大开眼界。

“所以我们有一个很好的基础。它还只是个婴儿。现在还处于婴儿期。但我不想让另一个国家接管这个领域。所以我认为我们会做得很好。此外,我已经认识了业内人士,他们都是一流的人。如果你问杰米·戴蒙,杰米·戴蒙以前非常消极,现在他突然改变了态度。”

– 唐纳德·特朗普访谈,彭博商业周刊,2024 年 7 月 16 日

谁会想到呢?我们的利益是一致的!他在出售数字资产。我(投资并最终)出售数字资产。哇。

我认为这是当今市场最低估的发展。拥有一位与加密社区利益一致的总统将是一个巨大的转变。从激进的消极态度转变为积极态度是一个巨大的转变。

作为这场巨变的直观象征,Pantera 投资组合公司 Bitwise 将于周五敲响纽约证券交易所的收盘钟。

Why Is No One Buying DeFi Insurance?

"Why DeFi Insurance Remains Unpurchased" explores the paradox of decentralized finance insurance. While DeFi insurance promises automatic, unbiased payouts via smart contracts—eliminating traditional insurers' denial practices—it struggles to attract users. The core issue is economic viability. Premiums are prohibitively high relative to the yields from DeFi protocols. For example, insuring a deposit on Aave or Maple Finance can consume most or even all of the annual yield, leaving returns comparable to or worse than traditional savings. Only the safest protocols, like MakerDAO, offer affordable premiums. Furthermore, the DeFi insurance model is structurally fragile. Unlike traditional insurance where risks are uncorrelated, DeFi risks are highly interconnected (e.g., oracle failures, bridge hacks). A single major exploit can simultaneously threaten multiple protocols, potentially bankrupting the entire insurance pool, which holds only millions against billions in total value locked. The governance model also creates a conflict of interest. In platforms like Nexus Mutual, token holders who vote on claims risk their own capital if payouts are approved, incentivizing denials. Consequently, the market is tiny and shrinking. Nexus Mutual dominates with $81.56 million in assets, but the industry lacks the capacity to cover a catastrophic event like the $292M Kelp DAO hack. Other providers have dwindled or shut down. The article concludes that DeFi insurance faces a "tragedy of the commons": its stability requires widespread adoption, but individual users have no incentive to pay for it, as premiums destroy their yields. Current solutions involve preventative measures like bug bounties and seeking external capital from traditional reinsurance, acknowledging that on-chain capital alone is insufficient to cover on-chain risks.

What is $BITCOIN

DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction to DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a blockchain-based project operating on the Solana network, which aims to combine the characteristics of traditional precious metals with the innovation of decentralized technologies. While it shares a name with Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold” due to its perception as a store of value, DIGITAL GOLD is a separate token designed to create a unique ecosystem within the Web3 landscape. Its goal is to position itself as a viable alternative digital asset, although specifics regarding its applications and functionalities are still developing. What is DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a cryptocurrency token explicitly designed for use on the Solana blockchain. In contrast to Bitcoin, which provides a widely recognized value storage role, this token appears to focus on broader applications and characteristics. Notable aspects include: Blockchain Infrastructure: The token is built on the Solana blockchain, known for its capacity to handle high-speed and low-cost transactions. Supply Dynamics: DIGITAL GOLD has a maximum supply capped at 100 quadrillion tokens (100P $BITCOIN), although details regarding its circulating supply are currently undisclosed. Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios. Accessibility: The potential low trading price per token could attract retail investors, facilitating wider participation due to fractional ownership opportunities. Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
