Гэри Генслер: Биткоин на голову выше остальных криптовалют

cryptonews.ruPubblicato 2025-02-27Pubblicato ultima volta 2025-10-29

Бывший председатель Комиссии по ценным бумагам и биржам США (SEC) Гэри Генслер (Gary Gensler) заявил о превосходстве биткоина над другими цифровыми активами, признав растущую популярность первой криптовалюты среди инвесторов.

Генслер заявил, что никогда не владел ни биткоинами, ни другими цифровыми активами. Высокопоставленным сотрудникам SEC не рекомендуется владеть криптовалютами, чтобы избежать конфликта интересов. Даже спустя несколько месяцев после ухода с поста председателя SEC, Генслер в ближайшем будущем не собирается покупать биткоин, называя его «крайне спекулятивным» активом.

И все же, если не считать волатильности биткоина, он на голову выше других криптовалют, отметил Генслер. Существует множество криптопроектов, но они должны доказать свою пользу на практике, чтобы оставаться актуальными в долгосрочной перспективе. Если у альткоинов нет фундаментальной основы, они не сохранятся надолго, уверен экс-председатель SEC. Он сравнил рост популярности биткоина с интересом к золоту, предположив, что первая криптовалюта тоже может стать мейнстримом, как и драгоценный металл.

«Биткоин — очень волатильный актив, но семь миллиардов человек хотят им торговать. Точно так же, как мир пользуется золотом на протяжении 10 000 лет, у нас есть биткоин», — сказал Генслер.

До своего вступления в должность председателя SEC в 2021 году, Генслер вел курс «Блокчейн и деньги» в Школе менеджмента Слоуна при Массачусетском технологическом институте (MIT). Генслер говорил, что три четверти криптоактивов не являются ценными бумагами. При его руководстве SEC инициировала множество судебных исков против криптокомпаний и бирж, обвиняя в торговле незарегистрированными ценными бумагами.

Недавно Генслер объяснил, что жесткие меры в отношении отраслевых компаний были необходимы для защиты инвесторов от финансовых потерь и мошенничества. По мнению Генслера, большинство криптовалют не имеет экономической ценности.

Apple and the Power Rebalancing with 'The Microns': Dissecting the Profit Ledger Behind the iPhone

The article analyzes the shifting profit dynamics and power balance between Apple and memory suppliers like Micron within the iPhone supply chain. It highlights a social media post criticizing Apple for raising iPhone prices while blaming memory chip cost increases, despite historically paying suppliers like Micron very little. An estimated iPhone 18 cost breakdown is referenced. Historically, memory was a minor cost component. In 2017's iPhone X, memory accounted for only about 1.6-2.3% of the price, with Apple capturing nearly 50% net profit. Over time, memory's share of the Bill-of-Materials (BOM) cost has grown significantly, reaching an estimated 12-15% for the iPhone 17 series. The core driver of this change is soaring demand for memory from the AI industry, particularly for High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) and AI servers, which is diverting production capacity and squeezing supply for consumer electronics. Memory manufacturers, after enduring periods of low profits, now hold greater pricing power. This is reflected in their recent strong financials, like Micron's 84.6% gross margin. Apple CEO Tim Cook initially described the memory price pressure as unprecedented in his 40-year career, later calling it a "once-in-a-century flood," before Apple announced price hikes across several product lines, causing a significant stock drop. Elon Musk echoed Cook's sentiment about the dramatic cost surge. The article concludes that the era of memory suppliers being at the mercy of Apple's pricing power has temporarily reversed, thanks to AI-driven demand. It notes Apple is reportedly seeking to diversify its supply chain, including exploring chips from China's CXMT.

Conversation with the Founder of 42 Macro: The Fed's 'Boiling the Frog Slowly' and the K-Shaped Economy

In a conversation with Anthony Pompliano, Darius Dale, founder of 42 Macro, discusses the Federal Reserve's monetary policy and the K-shaped U.S. economy. Dale characterizes new Fed Chair Kevin Warsh as a "dove in hawk's clothing," expecting the Fed to signal or enact policy tightening in the coming quarters to create room for later easing. He argues current economic signals, including high deficit spending, debt monetization, and credit growth, strongly indicate inflation is not on a credible path back to 2%, forcing the Fed to act. The discussion highlights the stark "K-shaped" economic reality. While top earners, buoyed by massive cash savings (up ~$8 trillion since pre-pandemic), continue robust spending, those at the bottom face severe financial strain, with delinquency rates on consumer loans reaching crisis-era highs. Dale attributes much of the current social and political anxiety to this divergence, driven by the "Cantillon effects" of monetary expansion, which disproportionately benefits asset owners. He emphasizes that in this environment of "financial repression," individuals must participate in asset markets to avoid being left behind. On equities, Dale notes a rotation from the "Magnificent Seven" tech giants into broader AI-exposed companies, while warning that the tech giants' massive capital expenditure cycles could eventually puncture over-optimistic cash flow projections. Dale concludes by stressing that the core desire across all economic strata is simply the dignity to provide for one's family, a goal currently undermined by systemic policies that act as a "wealth siphon" from the bottom to the top.

The Domestic Answer to Space Computing Power: Photonics Are More Efficient, Musk and Huang's Approaches Are Too Roundabout

The Space Computing Race: A Photonic Advantage The competition for space-based computing has intensified, with figures like Elon Musk and NVIDIA's Jensen Huang highlighting its potential. Musk predicts solar-powered AI satellites could offer the most cost-effective computing by 2032. However, space presents extreme challenges for traditional electronic chips: radiation from cosmic particles can cause errors, the vacuum environment hinders heat dissipation, and limited solar power constrains energy-hungry systems. Photonic computing, using light instead of electrons, offers a promising solution. Its core advantages for space are threefold: 1) **Radiation Resistance**: Photons are charge-neutral, making them inherently immune to particle interference. 2) **Low Heat Generation**: Light propagation in waveguides generates minimal heat, bypassing critical thermal management issues. 3) **Low Power Consumption**: Photonic chips have near-zero static power draw, aligning perfectly with the energy constraints of satellites. Furthermore, for a given payload weight and volume, photonic systems can potentially deliver higher total compute density. Since they require less bulky cooling and power infrastructure, more space can be allocated to the compute units themselves. While photonic computing holds great promise, current industry approaches face hurdles like the memory-compute bottleneck (separate storage and processing) and challenges in large-scale integration. Engineering for space—withstanding launch vibrations and validating full system operation in orbit—remains a critical step. The path forward resembles the evolution from single GPUs to computing clusters, but via a photonic route. As electronic chips approach physical limits in miniaturization, photonic computing and optical interconnects (光算光联) may provide a key alternative to bypass these constraints and define the next generation of space-based computing capabilities.
