大多数人不关心隐私并且没有人愿意用隐私币进行交易等。

密码朋克宣言》开篇就写道:“电子时代的开放社会需要隐私。” 但隐私币——具有强大隐私功能的加密货币——未能爆发。Monero 和 zcash 如今的价值都低于 2018 年的价值。相比之下,ETH 的价值是 2018 年高点的两倍多。
这只是价格,但采用指标并没有好多少。即使在你期望隐私币蓬勃发展的暗网市场上,BTC 仍然是首选资产。

现有的 zcash 代币中只有不到 10%是屏蔽或隐私的。与智能合约平台相比,用户和交易的增长总体上是平庸的。
隐私币令人失望。为什么他们没有起飞?
有四个主要原因。
1. 没有人愿意用隐私币进行交易
虽然人们可能希望他们的钱是私密的,但他们不想用隐私币互相支付。当大多数人想到“隐私加密货币”时,他们会想到隐私 BTC 或 ETH,或者可能是隐私稳定币。很少有人真正想用一种特殊的代币来偿还债务,其唯一的定义特征是它可以是隐私的。
这就是为什么Tornado Cash等基于以太坊的隐私系统相比之下具有如此多的使用率。Tornado 将隐私带到人们实际所在的地方——在智能合约链上,以他们实际想要使用的货币,如 ETH、USDC 或 DAI。相比之下,门罗币的钱包体验、出口和流动性非常差,以至于大多数用户都会放弃。

Tornado 成功的另一个原因是,它将隐私成本内化到真正关心它的用户身上,而不是强迫每个人承担隐私成本。这给我们带来了隐私币没有成功的第二个原因。
2. 隐私还不容易
HTTPS是当今几乎用于访问每个网站的加密协议,其历史告诉我们,人们只会在容易的情况下选择隐私。
网站连接过去都是纯文本的。最初,HTTPS 仅用于处理信用卡或银行数据的网站,因为它既慢又麻烦。只有在计算成本变得足够便宜以至于网站可以在用户不注意的情况下强制执行 HTTPS 之后,HTTPS 才成为默认设置。
消息服务也发生了类似的事情。WhatsApp 是最大的端到端 (E2E) 加密服务,2016 年悄然开启 E2E 加密,从未咨询用户。
这两项变化对互联网隐私的影响可能比其他任何事情都多,而且都没有涉及用户有意做出更加私密的决定。
将其与使用 monero 或 zcash 进行日常交易的难度进行比较。两者都需要复杂的技术并施加非常高的摩擦来保护个人隐私。
这给我们带来了隐私币失败的第三个原因。
3. 大多数人不关心隐私
这是隐私币失败背后令人不安的真相。
看看人们透露的偏好。他们使用向第三方公开出售数据的社交媒体应用程序。他们使用 Venmo 并向全世界公开他们的付款。他们使用短信,短信以明文形式存储,可以被执法部门传唤,而 WhatsApp、Signal 和 Telegram 都是免费且随时可用的。
人们很容易将这种情况归咎于缺乏消费者意识,但这与事实不符。以社交媒体公司为例:尽管从 Cambridge Analytica 到去年的 Twitter 黑客攻击等一系列大规模丑闻,社交媒体的使用率从未如此高。

隐私是公共物品。经济学的铁律是,自由市场对公共产品的供给不足。如果只有少数用户使用隐私保护技术,这些技术的使用将成为污名化。将让端到端加密无处不在且正常的 WhatsApp 与同样私密但立即被标记为可疑的门罗币进行比较。
这里有两种潜在的人。首先,有些人根本不关心严肃的隐私,只希望他们的近邻、配偶和朋友不知道他们在做什么。像比特币或以太坊这样的区块链就可以了。他们不成熟的朋友将无法追踪他们的活动。
然后是有隐私意识的人,他们想要足够强大的隐私控制来抵御复杂的第三方。如果使用得当,像门罗币这样的技术足以威慑企业、政府和有动机的攻击者。但所有这些都付出了高昂的代价。
很少有人愿意支付隐私意识群体愿意为隐私支付的费用。在隐私成本大幅下降之前,我们不应该期望看到 HTTPS 风格的转变进入加密货币领域。
这给我们带来了监管。
4. 为了在熊的袭击中幸存下来,你不需要跑得比熊——你只需要跑得比你身后的人
隐私币一直是监管调查的首要目标。当监管者被要求“不要只是站在那里,做点什么”时,最简单的监管对象就是阴暗的隐私币。
在监管方面,我们在韩国日本英国美国看到了大量隐私币退市。政府一直在努力收紧隐私币的绞索(见这里这里和 这里)。
加密大厅变得越来越大,大量零售公司和专业机构现在拥有 BTC 和 ETH。但很少有机构愿意为隐私币辩护。与其让整个行业受到污染,许多人宁愿让隐私币成为牺牲品。
我很欣赏 Coin Center 和Electronic Frontier基金会在使用隐私保护技术方面为保护美国人的公民自由所做的大胆工作。但我担心,当谈到隐私加密货币时,他们正在打一场注定失败的战斗。
在那之前,预计监管机构将继续将隐私币作为替罪羊,并预计他们的接受度和流动性会因此受到影响。如果我是一个赌徒,我希望与去中心化金融和稳定币相结合的无痛隐私解决方案成为隐私领域最大的增长领域。

From Sand to Chips: Hefei's Semiconductor Alchemy

From Sand to Chips: Hefei's Semiconductor "Alchemy" On July 27, 2026, a memory chip maker from Hefei made history by surpassing the market capitalization of Industrial and Commercial Bank of China on its Shanghai Stock Exchange debut. This marks the culmination of Hefei's two-decade industrial transformation, often summarized in three strategic leaps: "Screen, Chip, Vehicle." The journey began in 2008 with a bold investment in BOE, establishing China's first 6th-generation LCD panel line. The second leap was the "Project 506" in 2016, which gave birth to ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT). With initial backing of 14.4 billion RMB from Hefei's state-owned investment platform, CXMT aimed to break into the global DRAM market, then over 95% controlled by three overseas giants. CXMT achieved a breakthrough in 2019 by producing China's first 8GB DDR4 DRAM chip, employing "generational leapfrog" R&D to catch up. After years of significant losses, the company turned profitable in 2025. A dramatic surge followed in 2026, driven by AI-driven demand and full capacity utilization, propelling CXMT to become the world's fourth-largest DRAM manufacturer. CXMT's success is not isolated. It anchors a dense, localized semiconductor ecosystem in Hefei. Within its vicinity are numerous supporting companies for equipment, materials, and packaging & testing. This cluster has fueled the regional economy, with Hefei's integrated circuit industry output growing over sevenfold between 2016 and 2025. The ripple effects extend beyond high-tech, revitalizing local communities with new businesses and services catering to the influx of workers. For individuals, Hefei offers competitive tech salaries at a significantly lower cost of living compared to major coastal cities, along with improved amenities and shorter commutes. Hefei's story demonstrates two decades of focused, long-term industrial policy, transforming the city from a provincial capital into a trillion-RMB GDP "Double Ten-Thousand" city (10 million people, 1 trillion RMB GDP). It shows how persistence in strategic sectors—turning sand into chips—can redefine a city's economic destiny.

Some Go Bankrupt, Others Go Shopping: The Counter-Cyclical Acquisition Logic of MoonPay, Circle, and Kraken

During a period of market stress where multiple crypto firms filed for bankruptcy or shut down, three major companies—MoonPay, Circle, and Kraken—pursued strategic acquisitions to strengthen their positions. Their divergent strategies reflect differing dependencies on key unresolved industry questions: which trading platforms, public blockchains, and stablecoins will ultimately dominate. MoonPay, operating at the fiat-crypto gateway, acquired Glide to expand its capabilities in token swaps, cross-chain operations, and financial reconciliation. Its business model is not tied to any single blockchain or stablecoin, allowing it to profit from user activity across various platforms. Circle, facing competitive pressure from the new Open Dollar Standard (OUSD) which could erode its core revenue from USDC reserve interest, acquired nearly a thousand patents from IBM. This move aims to build a competitive moat around USDC by enhancing its enterprise infrastructure, banking integrations, and compliance tools, shifting competition beyond mere interest yields. Kraken acquired Magic Labs' wallet-as-a-service business to deepen its integrated trading platform. The goal is to create a seamless "universal account" where users can trade crypto, stocks, and tokenized assets without leaving Kraken's ecosystem, while also bolstering its own layer-2 blockchain, Ink. These acquisitions highlight a trend where leading firms are consolidating core infrastructure not just for immediate profits, but to secure their futures amid ongoing industry consolidation and uncertainty. The competitive battleground is shifting from basic infrastructure access to superior product integration and ecosystem scale.

The Permanent Underclass: No One Can Answer That 17-Year-Old Child

The article "The Permanent Underclass: No One Has an Answer for That 17-Year-Old" explores the concept of a "permanent underclass" emerging in a future where AI can perform most cognitive and physical labor. This theory, gaining traction in tech circles, suggests that as AI reduces the need for human workers, wages lose importance, and wealth increasingly flows to those who own AI models, compute, and data. The core issue is not temporary poverty but the potential breakdown of the traditional ladder of upward mobility—through labor, bargaining, and asset accumulation—making "underclass" a permanent status. The piece highlights a poignant question posed by researcher Jasmine Sun to AI lab personnel: What advice would you give a typical 17-year-old facing this future? Most had no answer, acknowledging the frightening transition ahead. However, while struggling to advise others, many in the AI field are securing their own positions, shifting from research or policy into labs to gain equity and stand on the "capital" side. This creates a vicious cycle: the more people believe labor's bargaining power is vanishing, the fewer work to rebuild it, accelerating its decline. Common personal survival strategies—learning AI skills, acquiring AI company equity, or pivoting to hands-on, in-person work—are analyzed. The author argues these are largely stopgaps, accessible mainly to the privileged, and may collectively undermine labor's overall position. The fundamental question shifts from "how not to fall behind" to "why must one's survival depend on being needed by capital?" The article concludes that the real solution is not individual adaptation but building a new societal "negotiating table"—new laws, forms of collective bargaining, or redistribution mechanisms (like taxes or public funds) to ensure the wealth AI creates is shared, especially with those displaced. It contrasts tentative institutional responses in China with a potential regulatory vacuum in the US, warning that without such frameworks being established before public frustration boils over, social unrest could follow. The 17-year-old’s dilemma underscores a systemic failure: the architects of this future are buying personal insurance but offering no collective answers.
