Виталик Бутерин предпочитает делать пожертвования, а не инвестировать

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2022-07-08Last updated on 2024-09-08

Соучредитель Ethereum Виталик Бутерин недавно объяснил, что больше не будет инвестировать в проекты второго уровня и что все доходы от продажи Ethereum будут пожертвованы «на поддержку общественных благ в экосистеме Ethereum или более широкой благотворительности».

Замечания Бутерина прозвучали в ответ на вопросы пользователей X по поводу недавнего ряда криптовалютных переводов, в которых он принимал участие. Как недавно сообщалось, крипто-аборигены в социальных сетях обвинили Бутерина в сбросе миллионов в ETH для личной выгоды. Впоследствии он отверг эти обвинения.

«Все продажи были направлены на поддержку различных проектов, которые, по моему мнению, представляют ценность», — заявил Бутерин.

Несколько недель спустя, 6 сентября, Бутерин возобновил разговор в ответ на вопрос пользователя X, который усомнился в политике разработчика в отношении инвестиций. Он описал ценность, по сути, предоставления денег фирмам, разделяющим ценности Ethereum, или тем, кто готов взять на себя обязательства по продвижению его миссии.

«Есть и другие варианты получения выгоды от предоставления денег, например, это может быть обмен на обязательства быть позитивно-суммированными по отношению к Ethereum и/или человечеству некоторыми конкретными способами, и стоимость этого обязательства может легко превышать 0,14% компании», — пояснил Бутерин.

Кельвин Сантос, соучредитель и генеральный директор криптовалютной биржи Quiver Trade, написал:

«Может было бы еще лучше также инвестировать в проекты, в которые вы верите, с положительными внешними эффектами, и тогда вы сможете снова использовать прибыль/доходы во благо в будущем?»

Пожертвования против инвестиций

В своем ответе Бутерин признал наблюдение Сантоса, но представил иной взгляд на идею прибыли и возврата средств:

«Выгоды от цикла, которые вы описываете, реальны, но в настоящее время кажутся меньшими, чем выгоды от наличия четкой позиции, которая служит примером и повышает уверенность в том, что я не являюсь частью какого-то заговора по искажению протокола Ethereum в направлении, которое выгодно случайным токенам инфраструктуры/L2, которыми я владею».

Во время того же разговора Бутерин ясно дал понять, что не намерен инвестировать в проекты Layer 2 или токенов, помимо Ethereum, в обозримом будущем.

«Моя цель, когда я даю деньги проектам, — поддержать то, что я считаю ценным», — написал он, добавив, что «в дальнейшем я планирую делать это только с помощью пожертвований».

Second Half of U.S. Crypto Policy: The Clarity Act Aims for 60 Votes, CFTC's "One-Person Commission" Becomes Biggest Variable

In a pivotal year for US crypto policy, the "CLARITY Act" is advancing in the Senate but faces a high hurdle, needing 60 votes to pass. Key challenges include bridging partisan divides on ethics and swaying undecided Republican senators within a tight legislative calendar of only about 40 working days. The policy "second half" involves intense negotiations on a broader framework for Web3 and DeFi, including crypto tax reforms and the Blockchain Regulatory Certainty Act. A significant uncertainty is the understaffed CFTC, operating with four commissioner vacancies, which complicates regulatory clarity. Meanwhile, the departure of key "crypto champions"—SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce and Senator Cynthia Lummis—will impact ongoing policy efforts. Industry experts are cautiously optimistic but realistic. Sara K. Weed notes that while progress is being made, CLARITY is unlikely to pass this Congress, pushing agencies like the SEC and CFTC to provide more guidance. Sulolit Mukherjee suggests meaningful crypto tax legislation is more likely to be attached to larger must-pass bills. Rashan Colbert discusses the jurisdictional debate over prediction markets, emphasizing the need for a regulatory framework that fosters their development as financial tools rather than treating them broadly as gambling. The clock is ticking, but opportunities remain for substantive progress through continued bipartisan dialogue and pragmatic efforts.

Dan Koe's New Essay: Escaping the Fate of the Wage Slave, How to Survive the AI Replacement Wave?

Dan Koe argues that the true threat in the AI era isn't technology itself, but a reliance on others for one's livelihood and happiness. The core problem is "wage slavery"—spending life on unfulfilling work. To survive and thrive, one must escape this by building their own enterprise. The key is developing five elements: Agency (initiative), Taste (discernment), Persuasion, Persistence, and Iteration. These boil down to problem-solving skills and experiential knowledge, which cannot be learned passively but only through doing your own projects. The solution is to become "unemployable" by shifting your identity. This requires: 1) Radically changing your environment to force growth, 2) Choosing a medium (like content creation) that provides real feedback through trial and error, and 3) Mastering either code or, preferably, media (content). Content creation is more valuable because its subjective nature and need for human perspective create a durable advantage over generic AI output. To start, define your life's work by answering foundational questions about your innate knowledge, unique abilities, and contrarian beliefs. Then, immediately act by publishing your first piece of content. The cycle of creating, receiving feedback, and iterating is the essential path to developing the skills needed for an independent, meaningful career and financial resilience.

Research Report Analysis: Morgan Stanley Details SanDisk SNDK, The Truth About Cloud Data Center Pricing Power and AI Inference Benefits

Morgan Stanley raised its price target for SanDisk (SNDK) from $1100 to $1750 on June 22, maintaining an Overweight rating. The upgrade is driven by AI inference demand reshaping the NAND market, particularly for KV Cache and context window storage in cloud data centers. These cloud clients exhibit price inelasticity and sign long-term contracts, granting SanDisk significant pricing power. SanDisk's New Business Model (NBM) agreements, covering over one-third of FY27 bit shipments with 3-5 year terms and fixed price/price collar structures, are crucial. They are projected to sustain gross margins around 80% even at floor prices, providing a buffer against cyclical downturns. Morgan Stanley forecasts gross margins to surge from 30.3% in FY25 to 86.7% in FY27e. With NAND supply expected to remain tight into 2026/2027 and cloud/data centers becoming the largest end-market, SanDisk holds supply-side pricing power. The company targets 15-19% bit growth via technology transitions, not capacity expansion. Revenue is projected to grow ~6.6x from FY25 to FY27, with EPS rising from $2.74 to $14.73, driven by high-margin cloud business. Key upside catalysts include faster enterprise SSD adoption and edge AI growth. Downside risks involve slower industry growth, competitor capex increases, market share loss, and competition from Chinese players like YMTC. The investment thesis rests on AI-driven structural demand, NBM's margin protection, and sustained supply tightness. The $1750 target implies ~28x FY27e P/E.

A Threefold Performance Leap! NEAR Achieves 200ms Physical Block Time Limit with SPICE

NEAR's core development team, Near One, has announced its next major protocol evolution: SPICE (Separation of Consensus and Execution). Currently in development, SPICE represents the most significant upgrade before the full implementation of Nightshade 3.0. Its core innovation is decoupling the consensus layer, responsible for ordering transactions, from the execution layer, which processes them. This allows the consensus layer to run at full speed without waiting for transaction execution to complete. Once deployed, SPICE is projected to triple NEAR's block production speed, achieving a 200ms block time, which is considered the physical limit due to the speed of light and network latency. This leap will dramatically reduce transaction latency and finality, with transactions confirming in roughly 0.4 seconds—faster than a typical card payment. The upgrade also enables more complex, long-running transactions and significantly improves user experience for applications like NEAR Intents and near.com. Beyond raw speed, SPICE enhances network scalability and security. It enables deeper parallelism, efficiently distributing workload across shards and improving resource utilization. The simpler block structure and lighter contracts also facilitate formal verification and security auditing. Furthermore, SPICE lays the critical groundwork for future Nightshade 3.0 features, most notably atomic cross-shard transactions, which would simplify complex contract logic and eliminate development hurdles caused by asynchronous execution. The Near One team is actively developing SPICE, targeting deployment in the coming months.
