前言

以太坊核心开发者 Péter Szilágyi 是以太坊基金会成员之一,也是目前最主流的以太坊执行层客户端 Geth 的开发负责人。

8 月 5 日晚,或在目睹了社区面对行情剧烈波动所表现出的剧烈情绪波动,以太坊核心开发者Péter Szilágyi 发推感慨怀疑自己是否选错了行业,显露出了对加密行业的深切失望,引发广泛讨论。以下为吴说对原文以及对应重点评论的编译整理:

原文

我经常怀疑自己是否进入了错误的行业。

以 SpaceX 为例:如果他们成功把火箭送到火星了,这是人类的进步;如果他们没有成功火箭爆炸了,人类可以吸取教训并改进;所有的结果都推动了进步。

相比之下,加密领域就像是个给笨蛋玩的赌场(向少数人道歉)。行情上涨的话,就嚷嚷着什么时候买跑车;行情下跌的话,便直接影响甚至摧毁生活;对人类有什么贡献?

是的,建立一个新的货币系统需要时间。没错……但是我们能不能顺便做点有用的东西?每个人都专注于成为下一个 V(可能代指 Vitalik),却没有人想做有用的东西,大家都在追求价值的榨取。

我真的看不出这个系统为什么不该崩溃?从大的格局来看,我们会失去什么?加密领域所做的一切只是巨大的价值转移,但到目前为止,我没看到任何价值创造。

请注意,通过运气发财然后将资金转移到一些非加密领域的项目中,这并不算是加密领域的成功故事。顶多是一个慈善的幸运人成功的故事,但更可能是这个人进行简单的多元化投资。

在我看来,是时候让这个行业创造一些真正有用的东西,让人们愿意使用,否则就该关门大吉。

至少比特币试图(尽管失败了)成为避险资产。但其他的项目都像是在卖铲子的商人,他们并没有真正创造有价值的东西。就像在淘金热中,卖铲子的人并不关心是否有金矿可挖,他们只想从中获利。现实情况是,这些项目并没有提供任何真正的创新或实际价值,只是追求短期的利益和投机机会。

8 月 6 日晚,Péter Szilágyi 再次发推表示:

我对以太坊/加密货币的抱怨不是为了诋毁它们,而是为了保持对现实的期望。

我们最重要的任务是不让那些把积蓄投入这个世界的人受到伤害。其他一切都是次要的。

承诺一切却无法兑现,会导致街头血流成河。劝说人们进入他们不了解风险的事物中,也是一样的。

要诚实,承认什么是有效的,什么是无效的,什么已经完成,什么还没有。强调每个部分的风险,包括未来可能永远不会实现的部分。

我将始终反对制造狂热,因为我不想看到普通人被一些毫不关心你存在的亿万富翁风险投资人搞垮。

是的,我可能永远都是少数派。是的,这可能会让我失去加密货币的多数潜在收益。我认为公平比财务收益更重要。

评论与回复

去中心化加密货币交易平台 Shapeshift 的创始人兼前 CEO 评论道:稳定币,defi 借贷(例如 Aave 或 Compound),去中心化交易所(DEX),隐私币,许多优秀的钱包应用,出色的金融智能系统,如 Dune 或 Messari,高吞吐量的区块链,在加密领域确实有许多伟大的发明。你自己可能被赌场般的投机性所迷惑,但应该透过表象看到真正的价值。

Péter Szilágyi 对此回复道:我绝不是说完全没有有价值的东西被创造出来。但我觉得投机性因素过于占据主导地位,而我们似乎喜欢这种现象,因为它能带来金钱。对于你列举的创造:

● 稳定币我接受。

● 借贷需要抵押品,所以要有链上的财富才能获得它,对我来说,这并不是真正的赋权。

● 去中心化交易所:好吧,这个在我看来直接属于赌场类。如果我们有许多强势货币,人们真正希望进行兑换,DEX 本来会是必不可少的工具。但目前来看,它更多是关于交易,对我来说现在没有什么实质性意义。

● 隐私币:它们并不是那么普遍,我们可能会看到针对它们的打压(比如 tornado 等)。我会很高兴看到它们的发展和被接受。

● 钱包:它只是其余部分的辅助工具,但本身不是一个用例。

● Dune/Messari:好吧,你可以分析赌场的情况,但这并不会减少其赌场性质,不过我很乐意被证明我错了。

● 高 TPS:是的,我们已经达到了这个点,但我们用它来做什么?我是在用我的铲子比喻来表达这一点。希望能够将其用于某些实际用途,而不是发布 1000 个 meme 币。

我相信有许多伟大的东西正在被构建。但我们不是让 MEME币和兰博基尼跑车成为了我们的代言人吗?

加密 KOL @iamDCinvestor 评论道:透明的链上清算实际上是人类的一大增值。

Péter Szilágyi 回复道:这对世界上 99.999% 没有钱赌博的人有什么影响?

@iamDCinvestor 回复:99.999% 的人不需要直接使用它来获益。一个更加透明的金融体系将使所有人受益,因为它会减少幕后的诡计和不透明,更低的成本,更多的信任。这些价值可能很难看到,如果你只关注 degens 被清算的话,但这是重要的,改变世界的能力,我真的相信。

Péter Szilágyi:当然,我完全接受这一点。但如果我们称它为“世界计算机”或其他类似的名称,我们是否应该建立一些更直接与普通人相关的东西呢?

@iamDCinvestor:我同意,我们需要其他应用程序,在其他领域的更大规模上,我认为我们会实现这一巨大的价值结算层,这是一个不错的开始,但还会发生更多的事情,我仍然认为智能合同钱包的身份,非货币数字资产以及其他货币形式在未来都将是非常重要的,但与此同时,繁荣和萧条不会消失。人类的贪婪仍然太强了,正在建立的系统对未来真的很重要,而你的工作也很重要。

@0xemon 评论道:你应该把更多的时间花在新兴市场,而不是西方。许多人依靠稳定币和 DeFi 基础设施来改善他们的经济状况。问题是大多数人不想公开谈论他们的财务决策,所以你只会听到兰博基尼的故事。

Péter Szilágyi:稳定币或许有所价值。但是,如果您出于经济原因需要依赖加密货币,那么您真的是所有这些 DeFi 协议的目标受众吗?

@0xemon:也许不是,这就是为什么我认为我们需要鼓励更多来自新兴市场的开发者和投资者。支持发达市场的企业家并不能真正帮助金字塔底层的目标用户。我认识很多使用稳定币的人,因为他们生活在实行资本管制的国家,可以从储蓄稳定币中获得收益。他们还用它作为一种获取报酬的形式。任何改善经济福祉的东西对用户来说都是一大好处。不幸的是,赌场占据了很大的市场份额,我们经常忽视其他好处。然而,同时,进入赌场也意味着可以获得大量流动性,这是生活在新兴市场的人无法获得的。加密货币是新兴市场人群的跳级金融科技。我们只是没有做足够的工作来突出其独特的用例并支持当地的开发者。我们已经进入去中心化金融领域多年,但没有一家风险投资公司尝试投资无许可链上微型金融贷款。想象一下如果更多的风险投资公司位于发展中国家……

@nicnode 评论道:看看加密货币在拉丁美洲和其他新兴市场是如何使用的——实际上挽救了许多人的生命。玻利维亚目前正在经历一场巨大的危机,人们确保他们能够获得储蓄的唯一避难所就是加密货币。

Péter Szilágyi:但它们不会使用 DeFi 协议,也不会使用 uniswap 或 nft。

@nicnode:是的,他们未来会的(有些人已经),但教育(和简单的翻译)还有很长的路要走。在拉丁美洲,大多数银行提供掠夺性的贷款利率,DeFi 解决了这个问题。

@vladlykhonis 评论道:资助方面。虽然很不幸,没有人资助任何“有用的”东西。

Péter Szilágyi:我想过这方面和股票市场的对比。我同意这部分对于“有效的资本配置”是必要的。但是股票市场的情况正好相反:你有公司建立效用,股票市场为它们提供资金。加密货币似乎是相反的:我们有一种超级有效的方式来分配资金,但没有实用程序来分配它。

Trends in US Stocks (June 22): Strait of Hormuz Agreement Changes Course, Thursday's PCE and Micron to Determine Chip Sector Direction

U.S. Stock Market Outlook (June 22): Strait of Hormuz Deal Falters, Thursday's PCE & Micron to Set Chip Sector Direction. Geopolitical tensions resurged over the weekend as Iran's IRGC announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, and its negotiation team walked out after threats from Trump, pausing U.S.-Iran talks. This renewed risk premium is weighing on U.S. equity futures ahead of the open. Last week's market was driven by chip stocks, with the Philly Semiconductor Index hitting a record high. While the Fed's hawkish tone was overshadowed by initial deal optimism, the S&P 500 gained 0.9% for the week. SpaceX debuted strongly but ended with two down days. Key events this week: The status of U.S.-Iran negotiations remains the immediate variable for oil and energy stocks. Monday sees Marvell and Flex added to the S&P 500. Tuesday's MSCI reclassification could benefit South Korean semiconductors and memory stocks. **Thursday, June 25th, is the critical day**, featuring the May Core PCE report and Micron's earnings. Hotter PCE data could solidify expectations for two 2024 rate hikes, while softer data would rapidly reprice rate cut bets. Micron's report is a key test for the AI narrative; the market will scrutinize its 2027 HBM supply visibility, HBM4 progress, and its position in Nvidia's Vera Rubin supply chain. Nvidia's AGM and a potential OpenAI GPT-5.6 release will make Thursday a pivotal 24 hours for AI. Friday concludes with the Russell reconstitution, elevating small-cap volatility. In summary, last week's gains face a true test. The path hinges on two concurrent threads: geopolitical developments with Iran and the AI narrative defined by Micron's guidance and Nvidia's updates. The chip sector's record highs are vulnerable if Thursday brings hot PCE data and conservative guidance from Micron. Conversely, positive outcomes could reaffirm the AI bull case, making this week's volatility a potential entry window.

OpenAI's "Most Open" Move: Codex No Longer Exclusively Favors GPT

OpenAI has significantly opened up its Codex programming agent by introducing a "model provider" configuration layer that allows users to connect it with various open-source models, not just its proprietary GPT. Through a configuration file or a simple `--oss` command-line flag, Codex can now route requests to local services like Ollama or LM Studio, or to third-party APIs such as Mistral or DeepSeek. This move is seen as one of OpenAI's most "open" steps, potentially lowering costs and enhancing privacy for developers who can run code generation offline. However, integration isn't seamless for all models. Codex primarily uses OpenAI's newer Responses API, while many open-source models rely on the older Chat Completions interface. This creates compatibility issues, especially for advanced features like function calling. The developer community is already building "routing" or adapter layers (e.g., CC Switch, LiteLLM) to translate between these protocols, enabling hybrid setups where GPT handles planning and open-source models handle execution. Analysts interpret this as a strategic shift for OpenAI: from competing solely on model superiority to controlling the platform and interface standards. By making Codex a flexible, pluggable entry point for AI-assisted programming, OpenAI aims to become the central hub in the developer toolchain ecosystem, even as users gain the freedom to switch underlying models.

When 500 Million People Abandon ChatGPT

ChatGPT's Global AI Assistant Market Share Drops Below 50% Three and a half years after its groundbreaking launch, ChatGPT faces a pivotal moment. While it remains the largest AI assistant globally, its market share has fallen below 50% for the first time, reaching 46.4% as of May, according to Sensor Tower's 2026 AI landscape report. Google's Gemini (27.7%) and Anthropic's Claude (10.3%) are now its main competitors, with Grok, Perplexity, and others also gaining ground. The market has evolved from awe and initial adoption into a phase of product comparison, ecosystem integration, and commercialization. User behavior has matured significantly. Loyalty is low; users readily switch between assistants for specific tasks. Gemini benefits from deep integration within Google's ecosystem (Search, Gmail, Android), while Claude has carved a niche among productivity-focused users with strong retention, nearly matching ChatGPT's. User choice is now influenced by a complex mix of capability, ecosystem, price, use case, and even brand trust. Commercialization is accelerating. AI app downloads continue but growth is slowing, while user spending is rising. Over $4.2 billion was spent in-app during H1 2026. Claude leads in premium subscription conversion rates (13%). OpenAI is expanding its revenue streams, testing ads shown to 17% of ChatGPT users daily by May. This shift highlights the immense financial pressure of model training and inference costs. Despite revenue growth, OpenAI's cash burn is intense, reaching $3.7 billion in Q1 2026. The company projects this could rise to $25-57 billion in the coming years, underscoring the industry-wide challenge of scaling profitably. The symbolism is clear: ChatGPT no longer defines the AI assistant market alone. The era of a single dominant product is over. Gemini, Claude, and specialized tools are collectively shaping user habits and business models. As AI assistants move from novelty to utility—judged on accuracy, efficiency, and value—they are becoming embedded in everyday digital life. ChatGPT may have lost its majority, but AI as a whole is winning, entering a mature, competitive, and diverse new phase.
