我们报告了 Pantera Capital 关于区块链行业薪酬的横断面调查结果。该调查共有 502 名普通人群的受访者,是迄今为止同类调查中规模最大的。我们的分析发现,加密行业员工的性别工资差距与一般情况相反——在我们的样本中,女性的收入超过男性。

性别工资差距

方法论

本研究采用两阶段研究设计,以应对多重假设检验和 p-hacking 的潜在问题。前一年调查的初步观察被视为试点研究,为当前研究提供了信息。

试点研究(前一年)

在前一次调查的探索性数据分析中观察到了性别工资差距,但由于多重比较引发的假阳性风险,并未将其报告为发现。这种方法符合避免第一类错误和出版偏见的最佳实践。基于试点数据,我们进行了先验功效分析,以确定今年调查中检测假设效应所需的样本量。这些结果在此呈现。

确认性分析:

当前研究作为确认性测试。这种方法允许更可靠的 p 值解释,因为它不受多重比较或事后假设的影响。

通过采用这种两阶段方法,我们避免了多重比较校正的需要,例如 Bonferroni 方法,这在同时测试多个假设的单个研究中是合适的。相反,我们的方法与预测建模中的「样本外验证」概念相一致,增强了我们发现的稳健性。

这一方法论框架增强了我们结果的有效性,并为加密货币行业研究等探索性领域提供了严格假设检验的模型。

调查方法和结果

数据收集时间为 2024 年 6 月 4 日至 7 月 20 日,通过基于网络的调查问卷进行,问卷通过专业网络(LinkedIn)、社交媒体平台(X)、新闻通讯和电子邮件传播。样本由 502 名自我认定为男性或女性的美国受访者组成。仅全职员工被纳入分析。

对中位数基本工资的分析显示,加密货币公司的女性收入比男性高出 14.67%。女性的中位数基本工资为 172,000 美元,而男性为 150,000 美元,女性的收入相当于男性每赚一美元就赚 1.15 美元。

这一差异在统计上显著(Mann-Whitney U 检验,p < 0.05),与一般劳动市场趋势相反,后者女性通常收入低于男性。通过回归分析,我们还观察到平均差异有利于女性(p < 0.05)。

这一结果挑战了性别工资差距的叙述,在非加密公司中,女性通常每赚一美元男性只赚 $0.84 美元。

进一步分析

更仔细地检查职业群体,娱乐行业的制作人和导演是女性收入高于男性的唯一其他领域。虽然其他高学位职业的薪酬接近平等,但现实是,即使在 Web2 技术行业,男性的收入仍然显著高于女性。

这种反向工资差距可能部分归因于性别之间经验水平的差异。加密行业的女性往往经验更丰富,通常处于中级到高级职位,当前职位的工作经验超过五年。相比之下,更多男性占据入门级职位,因为他们正在向加密行业过渡。

这种「反向」工资差距可能表明,与传统领域相比,加密行业为女性提供了更好的机会。

需要认识到,女性在这一行业中仍然可能面临障碍和困难。然而,加密行业相对公平的薪酬表明,性别平等正在朝着更大的方向发展,标志着这一新兴领域的进步趋势。

The Full Story of How Crypto Unicorn Blockstream Is Mired in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details serious allegations of fraud against Bitcoin infrastructure company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. In June 2024, investigative account NatInfoSec published a report accusing Blockstream's mining note (BMN) program of potentially operating a multi-billion dollar scheme with Ponzi-like characteristics. The core allegations focus on Blockstream Mining Notes (BMNs), which offer investors fixed annual yields up to approximately 20% from Bitcoin mining. NatInfoSec's investigation raises several key issues: 1. **Suspicious Hashrate & Payout Capacity**: The analysis suggests Blockstream would need 20-45 EH/s of mining power to cover its BMN obligations, but its public dashboard shows only around 15 EH/s. Furthermore, no verifiable public evidence (e.g., grid connection records, import data) was found to support the massive mining operation required. 2. **Questionable Payout Source**: The BMN contract allows Blockstream to use Bitcoin from *any source* (Substitute Performance BTC) to fulfill investor payouts, raising concerns that payouts may not come from actual mining revenue. 3. **High-Risk, Fixed Returns**: Offering ~20% fixed yields in the volatile, cyclical Bitcoin mining industry is viewed as highly unusual and requires clear explanation. 4. **Undisclosed Criminal Record of Key Figure**: Christopher William Cook, a key figure in Blockstream's mining operations and CEO of spin-off Exacore, was found to have a federal felony conviction for mail fraud in 2008, a fact not disclosed in BMN offering documents. His background was also allegedly embellished. 5. **Potential Contagion to BSTR SPAC**: Questions were raised about whether these liabilities and Cook's record should have been disclosed in the SEC filings for Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a separate Adam Back-associated firm planning a SPAC merger. The crypto community is divided. BitMEX Research validated Cook's criminal record and expressed concern over the high yields but found other evidence lacking or misleading, noting the legal separation between BMN, Blockstream, and BSTR. Blockstream defenders, like Samson Mow, argue the mining is real. Critics, however, emphasize the lack of independent, verifiable proof of the mining operation's scale and the true source of investor payouts. The article concludes that BMN remains shrouded in key unanswered questions regarding its actual size, the verifiability of its underlying mining assets and payouts, the source of its high yields, and the full role and disclosure concerning Chris Cook. Blockstream had not issued a comprehensive response at the time of writing.

The Full Story Behind Encryption Unicorn Blockstream's Deep Entanglement in Serious Fraud Allegations

This article details allegations of serious fraud surrounding the crypto company Blockstream, founded by Bitcoin pioneer Adam Back. Investigation account NatInfoSec accuses Blockstream of raising billions through its Blockstream Mining Note (BMN) products, which offer high fixed yields of up to 20% from purported mining revenue. The core allegations are: 1) Blockstream's public mining hash rate (15 EH/s) appears insufficient to cover the massive payout obligations from sold BMN notes, raising questions about the true source of investor payouts. 2) Key executive Christopher William Cook, central to the mining operations, has a prior federal conviction for mail fraud, a fact not disclosed to investors. Cook's background and lavish lifestyle are highlighted as red flags. 3) The structure allows payouts from any source of BTC, not necessarily mining revenue, which critics argue gives it Ponzi-like characteristics. The controversy also touches on Bitcoin Standard Treasury Company (BSTR), a related entity planning a SPAC上市. Critics question whether BMN's liabilities and Cook's record should be disclosed in BSTR's filings. BitMEX Research offered a tempered analysis, confirming Cook's criminal record is likely true and the high yields concerning, but found other claims like insufficient抵押证据 less substantiated. Community debate centers on the need for verifiable proof of Blockstream's mining output and revenue. The article concludes that while fraud is not proven, BMN presents significant, unresolved questions regarding its actual scale, the source of its high fixed returns, the verifiability of its mining operations and payouts, and the full disclosure of associated risks and personnel backgrounds. Blockstream has not yet issued a formal response.
