为什么 Web3 从业者的「偷感」有点重?

深潮Publicado a 2025-04-29Actualizado a 2025-04-29

一个永远只能偷偷摸摸存在的行业,是没有未来的。

撰文:刘红林

有些行业,家长一听就点头,比如公务员、医生、老师;有些行业,年轻人一说出来大家就羡慕,比如产品经理、投行分析师、互联网大厂程序员。但如果你在饭桌上说:「我在做 Web3 的」——大概率是三种反应:朋友笑你「炒币的」,同行盯着你问「你发币了吗」,长辈听不懂的直摇头。

于是你就不说了,或者说得含糊其辞:「最近在研究新技术」「搞点海外项目」「帮朋友搞点数据资产的事」。这种说不清、道不明的「行业定位羞耻感」,就是今天我们要说的 Web3 从业者的「偷感」。

「说不出口」的职业标签:从业者的自我认同危机

在 Web3 行业里,你会发现一个很有趣的现象:许多人的职业介绍都很拧巴。明明是某个交易所的法务总监,会说自己在做跨境合规研究;明明是 NFT 项目的核心创始人,会说自己在做文化数字化产品;甚至有的朋友明明靠 DeFi 套利赚了不少钱,却说自己「做点海外资产配置」。

不是他们不自信,而是整个行业的标签太容易被误解、被贬低、被污名化。从「炒币的」「传销的」「割韭菜的」,到「洗钱的」「搞诈骗的」,哪一个词都不太适合放进简历里。

你要说 Web3 是金融科技的前沿阵地,是去中心化未来互联网的雏形,是区块链技术应用的实验田,说得再激动,对方只会淡淡地问一句:「所以你到底在炒什么币?」

坦白讲,这种「偷感」不是凭空产生的。它的背后,是几个很现实的问题交织出来的。

首先是政策模糊。很多国家对虚拟资产的监管还处于试探阶段,尤其是中国大陆,不允许发币、不支持交易、不鼓励炒作。在这种背景下,从业者往往面临着灰色地带的心理负担。你自己知道自己做的事是技术创新、合规探索,可你也明白,哪怕是帮海外项目写代码、做运营,别人听了都觉得你「在搞非法交易」。

其次是行业乱象太多。诈骗、庞氏、割韭菜、跑路……过去几年 Web3 行业出事的项目一个接一个,出圈的新闻往往不是技术突破,而是某个项目方卷款跑路、某个交易所暴雷爆仓。媒体口中的「币圈」,已经成了负面舆情的高发区。你作为行业里认真做事的一份子,也会被默认贴上这些标签。

再加上公众认知滞后。你跟同龄人说你在做区块链技术,大家还停留在比特币;说你在搞 DAO,人家以为你在「搞组织」;说你发 NFT,对方以为你在卖头像。你讲得越多,对方越迷茫。最后你只能选择沉默,或者用「做点互联网金融」来一笔带过。

「光明正大」似乎成为一种奢侈

在这种行业氛围下,很多 Web3 从业者其实是有心理压力的。他们做事的时候要考虑各种「风险控制」:不要在公开场合谈代币,不要留个人实名信息,不要用国内银行卡收款,不要告诉亲戚自己项目发了币。

这跟传统创业完全不一样。在 Web2 时代,你做个 APP、搞个新消费品牌、开个电商小店,哪怕赔钱了都敢发朋友圈。但在 Web3,哪怕你项目融资千万、用户破万,也不太愿意张扬,因为一方面你怕被盯上,另一方面你怕被误会。

说到底,这种「偷偷做事」的状态,其实是我们对这个行业仍然缺乏社会正当性的补偿行为。而且大家心里也都明白,行业现在确实还没好到能让你「挺起胸膛」的程度。你拿出 PPT 写了一堆「Token Economics」和「生态激励模型」,最终别人还是会问一句:「这玩意儿,是不是割韭菜?」

要不要勇敢一点?

坦白讲,Web3 从业者心里是拧巴的。一方面,你觉得你做的是未来互联网的基础设施,代表的是科技、创新、自由、全球化;另一方面,你却在现实生活中选择性地回避这些词汇,生怕别人知道你在搞链、搞币、搞 Web3。

你不是不相信这条路,而是不太相信这个世界能听懂你说的话。

但这不意味着我们就只能继续「偷偷摸摸地做事」。相反,现在越来越多的 Web3 从业者正在主动尝试建立新的对话方式——不是靠讲术语,而是靠讲故事;不是硬拗「技术先进性」,而是用落地场景说话;不是强调「去中心化的理想」,而是让身边人看到真实的使用价值。

比如,原本一说「我做钱包」,大家就问你「收黑钱的吗」;现在有人换了一种说法:「我们在做跨境汇款工具,专门服务海外务工人员」。听起来是不是舒服多了?再比如,一说「我们做 NFT」,别人说你「又在卖头像了」;你要是说:「我们给音乐人做数字版税分发,让他们可以绕开平台直接收钱」,一下子人设就立住了。

当然,不是说包装一下就能解决「偷感」,但至少这是一种转变——从回避到解释,从内耗到建设,从自我否定到渐渐拥有身份认同。

更重要的是,要承认我们行业的灰度存在,也要承认自己在其中的位置。但灰不是罪,偷才是。你可以做灰色地带的事情,但不应该永远用「偷偷搞」的姿态面对世界。

这个行业最终走向哪里,谁也说不准。但有一点很明确:一个永远只能偷偷摸摸存在的行业,是没有未来的。

The Largest Upgrade Since The Merge? How Glamsterdam Will Affect Ethereum and Regular Users?

The upcoming Glamsterdam upgrade, scheduled for late 2026, is considered Ethereum's most significant change since The Merge. It focuses on fundamentally restructuring Ethereum's block production, transaction execution, and gas pricing to enable major scalability improvements while preserving decentralization. The upgrade centers on three key innovations: * **Enshrined PBS (ePBS)**: Moves the Proposer-Builder Separation mechanism into the protocol's core, eliminating reliance on external relays. This reorganizes the block pipeline, extending the time window for processing execution payloads, which is crucial for safely increasing block capacity. * **Block-Level Access Lists (BALs)**: Attaches a "map" to each block, declaring in advance which state data its transactions will access. This enables potential parallel transaction processing and faster node synchronization, breaking a key performance bottleneck. * **Gas Repricing**: Introduces a more accurate resource pricing model by separating computation costs from state storage costs. This discourages uncontrolled state growth by making operations that create permanent data (like new accounts) more accurately reflect their long-term network burden. Together, these changes aim to solve the core challenges of increasing Ethereum's throughput (e.g., raising the Gas Limit) without overburdening node hardware or increasing centralization risks. They prepare the infrastructure for higher capacity, targeting a credible post-upgrade capacity of up to 200 million Gas. For users, the impact will be nuanced: * General transaction fees may become lower and more stable as block space increases. * Simple transfers could see cost reductions, while state-intensive operations (like contract deployment) may become relatively more expensive due to the new gas model. * Gas fee estimations by wallets will become more accurate. * L2 networks could benefit long-term from increased data blob capacity. * Standardized logs for all ETH transfers (EIP-7708) will improve tracking for wallets and exchanges. Ultimately, Glamsterdam represents a foundational shift, not a simple block size increase. It seeks to expand Ethereum's capacity by re-engineering its underlying mechanics, maintaining its commitment to decentralization while enabling significant performance gains.

Circle CEO Responds to the OUSD Challenge: Stablecoin is a Winner-Takes-All Business, and We Won't Slow Down

In response to questions about the OUSD stablecoin initiative, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire argues that the stablecoin market is a "winner-take-most" platform business driven by powerful network effects, and Circle has no plans to slow down. He outlines three key drivers behind USDC's dominant position: 1. **Protocol/Software Layer Network Effects**: The value of a stablecoin network grows as more developers and services integrate it, creating compounding utility and user preference. Circle has spent nearly a decade building this ecosystem with USDC, now accelerated by mainstream adoption and enhanced by software stacks like CCTP and Gateway for interoperability. 2. **Liquidity Network Effects**: Liquidity begets more liquidity. USDC has achieved top-tier global liquidity—ranking among the top three digital assets alongside BTC and USDT—through nearly a decade of building deep primary and secondary market access across regions and venues. 3. **Regulatory and Policy Integration**: Establishing a global stablecoin requires deep regulatory engagement, licensing, and compliance across key markets—a significant, long-term investment where Circle is a leader. Allaire cites Artemis data showing USDC facilitated 80% of all dollar stablecoin on-chain transaction volume in Q1 2026, with USDT at 20% and all others negligible. He addresses OUSD's purported advantages: "free" minting/burning is often not sustainable in practice; redistributing all revenue can starve essential infrastructure investment; and large consortium models historically struggle with inefficiency and slow execution, unlike focused strategic partnerships. He reaffirms Circle's strong ongoing partnership with Coinbase on USDC and notes Circle collaborates with dozens of other stablecoin issuers through its expanding platform (Arc, CCTP, CPN, etc.). While welcoming OUSD to the ecosystem, Allaire asserts that Circle's vast, trusted network and continued investment make USDC the foundational digital dollar infrastructure for the world.

Q2 Crypto Market Review: Did Bitcoin Rise for 'Nothing'? Did Money Flow to AI and On-Chain?

Q2 2026 Crypto Market Recap: Bitcoin's Gains Erased Amid Shift to AI and On-Chain Activity The second quarter of 2026 saw a significant reversal for the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin gave back all its April gains, ending Q2 down approximately 11%, while major stock indices posted strong gains. This divergence was driven by a hawkish shift in Fed rate expectations, capital rotation into AI stocks, and weakening liquidity channels into crypto. Key demand pillars deteriorated simultaneously. Spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded net outflows of $4.08 billion for the quarter, with outflows dominating June. Crypto treasury entity Strategy's bitcoin accumulation slowed markedly, and the total stablecoin market cap contracted by ~$4.2 billion. This created a tighter liquidity environment. Exchange data reflected the downturn. Spot trading volumes fell 28% quarter-over-quarter. The market underwent significant deleveraging, with $8.35 billion in long liquidations for BTC and ETH, primarily in late May/early June. Open interest and order book liquidity also declined. Despite the bearish price action, structural developments point to an expanding on-chain ecosystem. These include the rise of tokenized stocks with full legal rights, the growth of RWA (real-world asset) perpetual contracts for trading stocks and commodities 24/7, and the use of crypto markets for price discovery ahead of major events like the SpaceX IPO. On-chain vaults are also emerging as a core layer for institutional capital allocation.
