flatcoin 有了实践者,但它可能不适合作为交易媒介。

开门见山,我认为 flatcoin 不是一个好点子。 

flatcoin 的想法已经存在了一段时间,但直到出现在今年早期 Coinbase 的文章中,它才得到了广泛的关注。现在,加密货币的头号仇恨者、「末日博士」Nouriel Roubini 已经进改旗易帜,即将推出加密 flatcoin,这些新颖的工具似乎代表了交易媒介「前进之路」。

什么是 flatcoin?

如果你拥有价值 1 美元的稳定币或价值 1 美元的富国银行存款,两者都会无限期锁定在 1 美元。相比之下,flatcoin 的价值会随着时间的推移而缓慢上涨,以补偿持有人因通货膨胀而来带的价值稀释。因此,如果你今天拥有一枚价值 1 美元的 flatcoin,那么明天它的价值将是 1.0001 美元,后天将价值 1.0002 美元,依此类推。 12 个月后,其价值将达到 1.05 美元。 5% 的升值可以保护你免受 5% 通货膨胀的影响,同时保持你的购买力不变。 

Roubini 和 Coinbase 将 flatcoin 作为一种区块链特有的物种进行营销,但这个概念也可以被包装成一种没有区块链的传统金融产品。想象一下,一个富国银行账户持有 100 美元的固定余额,每年增长 3-4% 。或者想象一种票据(flatnote),发行人通过承诺以更高的价格回购,将其购买力与通货膨胀挂钩。 

Roubini 将 flatcoin 视为一种潜在的「全球支付手段」。就货币 / 支付技术而言,我不认同。我认为 flatcoin 是一个进化的死胡同。

货币如此受欢迎的关键特征之一是,它直接融合到我们在日常经济生活中使用的主要商业语言。 

商业语言意味着什么?我们用美元交谈和讨价还价,我们用美元思考和制定计划,我们做美元梦,我们用美元来记忆。我们日常商业生活的方方面面都围绕着这个非常基本的度量单位。 (在欧洲,欧元是商业语言的基础,而在日本则是日元。) 

我们口袋里的美元(以及银行账户中的美元,以及 MetaMask 钱包中的稳定币)经过精心设计,与我们在语言中提到的美元计量单位完全兼容。也就是说,我们的交易媒介与 1 美元挂钩。例如,如果我下周必须支付 1500 美元的租金,我知道我的银行账户中的 1500 个单位可以履行该义务。我对我的其他资产并不了解,比如我的标准普尔 500 ETF、我的黄金、我的政府债券或我的狗狗币。

这种标准化是一个方便的功能。它消除了日常商业生活中的许多麻烦。这意味着,当我们买东西或制定购物计划时,没有必要在我们口袋里的美元媒介和我们言论、思想、计划中的美元之间进行不断的翻译。正如 Larry White 曾经说过的那样,将我们在口语中使用的单位与我们交易的单位相协调「可以减少买方和卖方经济计算所需的信息」。 

由于每个人都倾向于使用这些非常有用的标准化单位进行支付(即存款、稳定币和纸币),因此它们的市场已经变得高度发达。这又会使它们在支付方面更加有用,实际上稳固了它们的主导地位。 

相比之下,flatcoin 与我们在口语中使用的美元并不兼容。一个单位 flatcoin 的价值可能是我们今天口语中使用的美元的 1.1145 倍,明天是 1.1147 ,下个月是 1.1205 。这抹去了货币最人性化的特征之一,即它与商业术语的一致性,疏远了任何可能使用它进行日常支出的人。因此,flatcoin 的流动性将低于标准化的 1: 1 美元,而这种流动性的缺乏将使它们在支付方面的用处更小。

flatcoin 的第二个问题是来自税收。由于 flatcoin 的价值会随着时间的推移而上涨,因此使用 flatcoin 进行的购买都会产生少量的应税资本收益。这带来了管理负担,使得人们更不可能使用 flatcoin 作为日常交换媒介。 

这种语言上的不一致并不意味着人们不会持有它们,它们可能作为一种长期储蓄工具发挥作用,就像人们购买和持有固定收益 ETF 一样。但与 Nouriel Roubini 不同的是,我不认为它们是交易媒介的「前进之路」。没有人会用 flatcoin 购买咖啡。

SemiAnalysis Dissects Huawei's Kirin 9030: Process Technology Halted, So They Folded the Chip

SemiAnalysis has published a detailed teardown report on the HiSilicon Kirin 9030 Pro chipset found in Huawei's Mate 80 Pro. Fabricated using SMIC's most advanced N+3 node without EUV lithography, the analysis reveals significant technical achievements and strategic shifts. The report indicates SMIC's N+3 has achieved transistor density comparable to TSMC's N6 (113.4 vs 107.7 MTr/mm²), primarily through aggressive use of Self-Aligned Quadruple Patterning (SAQP) for its metal layers. This results in a notably small 32.5nm M0 metal pitch. However, SemiAnalysis notes this achievement comes with significantly higher process complexity, cost, and potential yield challenges compared to competitors using more advanced tools. The Kirin 9030 design maximizes this constrained density. While its GPU performance has improved ~70% and matches Qualcomm's 2022 flagship level, the CPU core's IPC lags behind current top-tier designs from Apple and Qualcomm, a gap attributed to the underlying manufacturing technology rather than design capability. Facing long-term restrictions on advanced tools, Huawei is charting a new path. The report highlights the company's "LogicFolding" roadmap, a 3D stacking technique aimed at shortening signal paths to boost performance and efficiency. The goal is to reach 5GHz frequency and a projected density of 295 MTr/mm² by 2031. SemiAnalysis concludes that export controls have not halted China's chip progress but have fundamentally altered its trajectory, making it more expensive and complex. This has spurred innovation in alternative areas like 3D stacking and domestic EDA tool development, with Huawei's supply chain also beginning to integrate Chinese memory from CXMT.

How Will the Price Move Before SpaceX's Next Share Unlock?

TL;DR Investors buying SPCX after SpaceX's IPO are not simply investing in a typical tech stock. It’s a high-valuation asset driven by Musk's narrative, Starlink, and space transport potential, but with a key twist: a very small initial float of ~4% has led to significant post-listing price appreciation. The current price action reflects a timing gap. Before the first lock-up expiration (estimated around August, subject to official confirmation), scarcity and high demand could continue to push prices up. Short-term bulls focus on low float, FOMO, and potential index inclusion. However, bears point to the supply dynamics that will change post-lockup. Existing shareholders still hold over 95% of shares, which will be released in stages starting from the first unlock window. This introduces future selling pressure from low-cost holders. The upcoming Q2 earnings report is a critical catalyst before the unlock. It will test whether the company's fundamentals can justify the current ~$2.1T valuation. Strong results could support the pre-unlock momentum, while weak figures could amplify concerns about future supply. The trading thesis is shifting from immediate scarcity ("can't buy enough") to evaluating future absorption capacity ("who will buy when more supply hits"). The path ahead hinges on the specifics of the unlock schedule, Q2 earnings performance, and whether anticipated passive index buying materializes.
