在一个寻常的晚上,两杯咖啡和一杯啤酒下肚, Toly Yakovenko 的命运齿轮悄然转动。时至今日,他的创业项目 Solana 市值高达 800 亿美元。在这光鲜亮丽的背后,隐藏着一段鲜为人知的故事,等待着我们细细探寻。

2010 年,Toly 首次了解加密货币,那会他尝试挖比特币,不过就在他以为自己找到了更好的方法时——他被骗了……

多年以后,他在用 GPU 开发深度学习项目时,决定挖 ETH 来抵消运营成本。当 ETH 价格不断飙涨时——他终于意识到加密货币远非儿戏。

几周后,命运的齿轮开始转动……

Toly 和他的朋友们在咖啡馆里讨论区块链。喝了两杯啤酒和一杯咖啡后,Toly 无法入睡。

就在那时,他得到了启发.....

他有了用时间戳作为区块链共识基础的想法,这就是我们现在所熟知的历史证明(Proof-of-History)。

由此,Solana 诞生。

有趣的是:它的名字就来源于他和朋友们冲浪的一个地方。

2018 年 2 月,Toly 和另一位联合创始人发布白皮书和 Solana 首次测试网。在接下来的两年里,他们获得了 2000 万美元的资金,并推出了主网测试版(2020 年)

公链迅速发展壮大……

2021 年 3 月,Solana 上推出了首批 NFT(KREECHURES)。由于交易成本最低,Solana 成为了新 NFT 和协议的首选公链。这一切帮助 Solana 形成了整个加密领域最强大的社区之一。

从那时起,Solana 经历了宕机甚至 FTX 崩盘的惨况。但它挺过来了,现在它:

  • TVL 排名第 3

  • 市值 800 亿美元

  • NFT 交易量排名第 2

  • 4700 万个月活钱包

这一切都离不开 Toly 那晚由两杯咖啡和一杯啤酒驱动的努力。

Podcast Notes | After Watching 141 YouTube Investment Guru Videos, I Found Everyone's Bullish on These 5 Stocks

Podcast Summary: After analyzing 141 YouTube investment videos from 21 creators, five stocks were consistently highlighted: Alphabet (Google), Nvidia, Micron, CoreWeave, and Uber. However, the analysis reveals a key concentration: four of these (Google, Nvidia, Micron, CoreWeave) represent essentially the same AI-focused bet, with only Uber standing as an independent pick. The podcaster, Brian, provides his specific views and entry strategies for each. **Key Stocks & Brian's Stance:** - **Alphabet (Google):** Viewed as cheap based on profits but expensive based on sales. Brian is only buying a half-position via monthly investments at ~$362. - **Nvidia:** Models suggest it is undervalued (~$221 vs. a ~$290-330 fair value range), but significant client debt ($500B) raises risk. Brian holds a 12% position (his cap) and would not buy below $148. - **Micron:** Brian's model fair value is ~$1450, but it's a cyclical stock. He is buying only on schedule after it broke below its 50-day moving average (~$961), with a "story broken" line at $434. - **CoreWeave:** Has large contracts but faces scrutiny over demand sustainability, with Nvidia backing unsold capacity. Brian holds zero position due to limited history and structural concerns. - **Uber:** The only non-AI pick, valued cheaply on strong cash flow (~$100B annually). Brian's fair value is ~$109 (current price ~$67), and he is buying a full position. **Core Insight:** Most discussed topics (76/141 videos) were chips, cloud, and AI models. A portfolio built from such consensus may appear diversified but often constitutes a single, concentrated bet on AI. Brian concludes with a disciplined framework for any investment: compare to its own history, understand what the current price assumes, separate a good company from a good price, and pre-define your exit conditions.

From 'Interest Rate Trading' to 'Dollar Debasement Trade', the Logic Behind Gold's Rise Has Changed

From "Rate Trade" to "Debasement Trade": The Logic Behind Gold's Rally Has Shifted Gold surged by 17% in August. According to UBS, the key development was a fundamental shift in the driving narrative mid-rally—from the traditional "rate trade" to a "debasement trade" focused on fiscal and dollar concerns. The bank breaks the summer rebound into two acts. The first was a technically-driven bounce from a solid base, supported by light positioning, resilient physical demand (especially from central banks like China's), and softening US economic data. The second act, triggered by the US Treasury's announcement to double long-term bond buybacks, marked a shift in gold's pricing logic. The market began viewing higher long-term yields as a sign of fiscal sustainability risks rather than economic strength, weakening gold's traditional inverse correlation with real rates. Gold's role evolved from an "opportunity cost" asset to a hedge against "fiscal credibility" and currency debasement, further aided by a weakening US dollar. UBS maintains a bullish outlook, noting rising upside risks to its long-term forecasts. While it lowered its 2026 year-end target to $4,675/oz, its 2027+ forecasts are unchanged, with an upside scenario target as high as $6,500/oz. The primary near-term risk is a hawkish Fed pivot, which could trigger a correction. However, UBS views any such dip as a buying opportunity, not a trend reversal, unless AI-driven growth allows for significantly higher rates. The report concludes that as gold is increasingly seen as a hedge against fiscal and currency risks, its strategic role in portfolios is changing. With overall gold allocations still low, there is significant room for further price appreciation if debt sustainability concerns drive sustained strategic buying.

Not Just Trading and Meme: These 5 Projects on Base Are Exploring New On-Chain Use Cases

Beyond Trading and Memes: 5 Projects Exploring New On-Chain Use Cases on Base While much of the crypto space is dominated by speculation, Base—Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 with over $5B TVL—is fostering innovative projects beyond the usual categories. Here are five notable examples: 1. **Hydrex**: A MetaDEX/AMM aggregator that pools native and external liquidity (e.g., from Uniswap, Morpho) to offer optimal swap rates. It features a ve(3,3)-style incentive model and single-signature transactions. 2. **SwapRoyale**: A fantasy trading competition app where users pay a fixed entry fee to trade with a virtual $100k portfolio in real-time contests. It gamifies trading with various tournament formats and has already distributed over $100k in prizes. 3. **BlockRun**: A permissionless AI gateway and payment layer for the on-chain agent economy. It allows autonomous systems to discover, pay for, and execute services using USDC on Base via the x402 micropayment standard, enabling pay-per-use AI. 4. **PixieChess**: A play-to-earn digital chess game where each piece is a collectible NFT with unique abilities that alter classic rules. Value is kept within the ecosystem, with a treasury funding real ETH prizes for winners. 5. **Tokensto**: A platform that lets users sell their unused AI API credits (e.g., from OpenRouter) for cash. It automatically prices credits and facilitates direct payouts to crypto wallets. These projects demonstrate that builders on Base are actively experimenting with consumer experiences, the agent economy, and novel gaming mechanics, suggesting the surface area for meaningful on-chain activity is broader than current narratives imply.
