币界网报道:

美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔今天回到了杰克逊霍尔研讨会,他为接下来的利率制定了游戏计划,大新闻是降息已经提上日程。

鲍威尔告诉我们,无情加息的时代正在结束。他说:“前进的方向是明确的。”。但他也补充道,“降息的时机和速度将取决于即将公布的数据、不断变化的前景和风险平衡。”

所以,基本上,一切都还悬而未决。

鲍威尔的演讲就在9月17日至18日美联储下次会议前几周发表,届时他们可能最终宣布自疫情开始以来的首次降息。

众所周知,美联储对就业市场进一步降温的想法并不感到兴奋。7月份的就业报告也没有提振情绪。

上个月只增加了11.4万个新工作岗位,失业率微升至4.3%,为2021年10月以来的最高水平。

别忘了,有数据显示,截至3月,美国就业人数减少了818000人,这表明就业市场并不像一些人想象的那么强劲。

现在,让我们进入正题。鲍威尔借此机会宣布,在与通货膨胀的斗争中或多或少取得了胜利。

他有信心通货膨胀率正在回到美联储一直追求的2%的神奇目标。他说:“通货膨胀率大幅下降。”。数字也支持他。

使用美联储最喜欢的指标,通货膨胀率降至2.5%,根据消费者价格指数,通货膨胀率为2.9%。鲍威尔还没有打开香槟酒瓶,但他肯定比过去更乐观了。

据他说,“与疫情有关的最严重的经济扭曲正在消退。”但这并不都是好消息。鲍威尔承认,他们没有看到2021年再次出现这种通胀混乱。

他们认为这只是一个短暂的波动,一个暂时的飙升。他们甚至使用了“暂时性”这个词,这在金融界已经成了一个笑话。他基本上承认这是一个失误,并表示使用“暂时性”是他们后悔的事情。

事实证明,通货膨胀不仅仅是一个过渡阶段,美联储不得不争先恐后地赶上。这导致2022年和2023年加息11次。这是很多。但似乎这些加息奏效了。

就目前而言,不管怎样。

鲍威尔不仅谈到了通货膨胀和降息。他还谈到了美联储在整个疫情考验中的学习曲线。他承认,就连专家也措手不及。疫情经济不像我们以前看到的那样。

美联储主席呼吁保持谦逊,称这一时期仍有许多值得学习的地方。他补充说,美联储准备在今年晚些时候进入五年期审查程序时听取新的想法,甚至批评。

他说:“我们需要一种探究精神,专注于从过去的经验中学习。”。他还指出,供应限制有所缓解,这有助于改善局势。

劳动力市场不像疫情前那么疯狂,但鲍威尔还没有撒五彩纸屑。仍然有一些紧张,一些压力。

鲍威尔最后强调了灵活性的必要性。他谈到了应用过去的经验教训,但要以一种适合当前挑战的方式进行。

这是一种平衡行为,他知道这一点。他不会因为事情看起来好一点而放松警惕。“我们在实现目标方面取得了很大进展,”他说,但工作还没有结束。

Vitalik: We Need to Create Sanctuaries, Not Fight AI

In a recent interview, Vitalik Buterin, founder of Ethereum, addresses the central anxiety of the AI era. He argues the primary risk isn't AI's intelligence, but human passivity—ceding decisions, privacy, and agency to centralized systems or "super AIs" for a sense of "disempowering safety." His solution is not to fight AI, but to build "sanctuary technologies." These are optional, non-totalizing spaces that protect users while preserving their sovereignty and privacy. Ethereum is presented as a prime example, offering a parallel financial system one can freely choose, not a fix for the old one. Reflecting on his journey from a 19-year-old on "autopilot" to an active "pilot," Vitalik notes the world reinvents itself every 5-10 years. To keep up, individuals must actively pilot their lives, not be passive passengers. He stresses that active learning vastly outperforms passive learning, even with equal time invested. His practical advice for builders and individuals in the AI age includes: periodically forcing oneself to do tasks manually to keep the mind engaged; prioritizing active learning and verification over outsourcing answers; building tools that help retain human agency; not outsourcing all strategic thinking to AI; and preserving serendipity through real-world interactions. Ultimately, Buterin redefines Ethereum/crypto's role: not to win against or fix the old world, but to provide a free, optional alternative. The core message is that as AI grows more powerful, the truly scarce resource will be proactive humans who retain their sovereignty, privacy, and capacity for independent thought. The era demands not less tool use, but more intentional and active use of technology.

Conversation with Patagon Founder: Revealing the Inside Story of Anthropic's Secondary Market

**Summary: Inside Anthropic's Massive, Opaque Secondary Market** In a revealing interview, Patagon founder Dio Casares pulls back the curtain on the booming, high-risk secondary market for shares in companies like Anthropic. This private market, fueled by companies staying private longer and massive funding rounds, is estimated to involve hundreds of billions of dollars. Casares distinguishes between two types of "secondary" trading: 1. **Company-approved SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) sales:** Where new capital flows into the company, often facilitated by select private equity firms. Anthropic supports this to manage liquidity and pre-IPO selling pressure. 2. **The "gray" market:** Platforms like Hive and Forge that match buyers and sellers, often creating pricing confusion and competing with official funding rounds. These intermediaries are widely disliked by companies. The market structure is complex and fragmented, relying heavily on personal connections. Brokers connect buyers and sellers, often layering multiple SPVs to pool capital, with single transaction fees as high as 10%. Strikingly, some finance professionals earn more from this trading than from their primary investment roles. **Key risks highlighted include:** * **High Fraud Rates:** An estimated 10-20% of transactions involve fake stock certificates or sellers who take payment without having the shares. * **Complex, Risky Structures:** Nested SPVs, "forward contracts" on employee equity, and tokenized private equity create layers of opacity. This is exemplified by a recent incident where an xAI employee's shares were revoked after an espionage allegation, leaving buyers empty-handed. * **Post-IPO "Settlement Hell":** After an IPO, delays in distributing shares through multiple SPV layers and decisions by fund managers to hold onto shares could trigger years of lawsuits as downstream investors are locked out. **For small investors** holding positions through tokenized vehicles or layered SPVs, it's often impossible to verify the underlying asset. Casares advises caution: if the investment feels wrong, consider exiting. As the private market now surpasses IPO fundraising, this "wild west" ecosystem faces a looming reckoning. While it will likely professionalize, the post-IPO period for a company like Anthropic could unleash a wave of disputes, exposing the vulnerabilities built into this frenzied, largely unregulated marketplace.
