Без дофамина: эксперт заявил о кризисе в криптоиндустрии

cryptonews.ruPubblicato 2022-08-17Pubblicato ultima volta 2024-09-17

Криптоиндустрия, которую мы когда-то знали, сейчас не способна «обеспечить дофамином» ни разработчиков, ни трейдеров, поэтому она находится в кризисе. К такому выводу пришел CEO CryptoQuant Ки Юн Джу.

Crypto Industry is in Crisis.

In the past, the crypto industry itself was like a game. A game abstracts the human pleasure pathways, providing an experience similar to real-life happiness by triggering dopamine release. This includes the joy of overcoming adversity, the thrill…

По мнению специалиста, в прошлом индустрию можно было сравнить с игрой. Опыт участников — со счастьем в реальной жизни в виде выброса дофамина. Подобный гормон вызывают и радость от преодоления трудностей, и острые ощущения от победы в соревнованиях, и удовлетворение от душевной связи с другими людьми, пояснил он.

В криптоиндустрии в качестве таких катализаторов выступают:

Заработок на непредсказуемых азартных играх.
Создание новых технологий на «неизведанных территориях».

Согласно Ки Юн Джу, с течением времени характер трейдеров и разработчиков изменился. На первых порах многие инвесторы увлекались философией, но сейчас основную массу представляют более консервативные участники.

Первоначальными разработчиками выступали криптографы. Основная торговая активность возникла благодаря усилиям основателей бирж и эмитентов монет.

Сейчас к ним присоединились таланты из разных отраслей, включая финансы, гейминговые проекты и контент. Однако новая волна специалистов не очень хорошо стыкуется с теми, кому нравится образ мышления трейдеров. То, что они создают, больше не приносит дофамин.

Синергия между участниками рынка и разработчиками отражала суть индустрии. Интригующие творения команд подогревали энтузиазм инвесторов. Со временем же большинство создателей «возбуждающих» проектов «исчезли». Их «подавили» финансовые правила, уголовное преследование. Или они попросту потеряли аппетит, заработав слишком много денег и погрузившись в тусовки.

В отсутствие подобных разработчиков криптоиндустрия постепенно превращается в «игорный притон». Оставшиеся команды создают либо азартные продукты вроде мем-токенов, либо скучные, отнимающие много времени инструменты, характерные для TradFi.

PolitiFi-токены опередили сегмент мем-коинов с ростом на 782% с начала года

Такие проекты не дают трейдерам свежих стимулов. Некоторые даже создают настолько разные экосистемы, что их относят не к криптовалютам, а к другим отраслям.

«Куда делись все те разработчики, которые вдохновляли нас и исследовали новые технологии? Почему они ушли? Я не знаю. Я хочу спросить [сооснователя Ethereum] Виталика Бутерина», — написал CEO CryptoQuant.

По мнению Ки Юн Джу, людям свойственно повторять действия, стимулирующие выработку дофамина. Жизненные цели, работа и хобби — все это наполнено подобным гормоном.

«Индустрия, которая не стимулирует дофамин, обречена на упадок. Криптоиндустрия, которую мы когда-то знали, сейчас не способна им обеспечить ни разработчиков, ни трейдеров. Именно поэтому она находится в кризисе. Должна появиться новая игра. Только тогда на рынок хлынут деньги, и отрасль сможет развиваться. Показатели альткоинов в 2024 году удручающие. Деньги в индустрию не поступают. […]. Я действительно обеспокоен», — заключил эксперт.

Напомним, в августе число ежедневно взаимодействующих с игровыми блокчейн-приложениями уникальных кошельков достигло рекордной отметки в 4,2 млн.

Ранее команда Notcoin анонсировала запуск нового кликера в Telegram под названием Lost Dogs.

Foundation Steps Back, Ethlabs Steps Forward: Ethereum Undergoes Its Largest Restructuring in History

On June 23rd, the Ethereum ecosystem witnessed two major shifts, signaling a significant governance realignment. First, former Ethereum Foundation researchers established Ethlabs, a new independent non-profit. Backed by major ETH holders like Bitmine and SharpLink, Ethlabs aims to address practical needs for institutional adoption, including faster settlement, native asset issuance, cross-chain transactions, and mainnet scaling. Secondly, the Ethereum Foundation announced a major restructuring, laying off 54 employees (20% of its staff) to become a leaner entity focused on protocol governance and maintenance rather than being the primary builder. This move represents a pivotal correction. Criticisms had mounted over the Foundation's perceived slowness, lack of clear strategy, and over-reliance on Vitalik Buterin's influence. Ethlabs emerges as a more execution-oriented, "industrialized" layer focused on market adoption—bridging the gap between research and real-world use. Notably, Vitalik Buterin is absent from its list of supporters, interpreted as an intentional step to avoid excessive personal endorsement and allow the organization to build independent credibility. The Ethereum Foundation's downsizing and redefinition mark a retreat from its former central coordinating role. It now aims to share the "privilege of stewarding Ethereum" with other emerging groups like Ethlabs, the Ethereum Applications Guild, and The Ethereum Economic Zone. Analysts frame this dual shift as the Foundation ensuring Ethereum remains "correct" (credibly neutral), while Ethlabs must prove it remains "effective" (competitive and attractive for capital and adoption). This addresses community "shareholder-like anxiety" about ETH's market performance. While risks exist—such as concerns over shifting from Foundation centrality to large-holder influence—the consensus is that the greater risk for Ethereum was inaction, caught between technical idealism and organizational inertia. These steps aim to create a more multi-stakeholder, execution-driven future for the network.

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.
