Bells复活:致敬居家挖矿时代(的短暂一夜)

还有人在 2023 年的今天拿家用电脑挖矿吗?回答当然是否定的,在专业矿工和矿机四处可见的今天,用笔记本尝试挖比特币等 POW 币种更多的是一种致敬过去的行为艺术,而非经济上的考量——毕竟说不定连电费都挖不回来。

但这种“复古”行为却在最近复活了。

12 月 5 日,狗狗币诞生 10 周年的日子即将到来之际,两个路过的吃瓜群众找到了狗狗币联合创始人 Billy Markus 在 2013 年发的推特,以及他在当时创造的加密货币项目——Bells。随后他们诞生了一个大胆的想法——他们联系上了另外一位 LTC 生态的开发者,并试探性地询问是否能够在这个特殊的日子里复活这个项目。

这位开发者在很短的时间内搞定了代码,于是项目重见天日。

有意思的是,由于年代久远,当初为这个币提供服务的矿池早已在时间长河中不知去向,整条链也停止了出块,几乎没有算力在这个废弃的设施上停留——这意味着,就算是普通家用机的 CPU 算力,也可以轻松挖出币来。

Bells 的设计机制十分有趣,每一组规定好的区块之间,矿工能够挖出来的币是随机的,而非像其他 POW 一样有着较为固定的收获。两台配置一样的电脑,同时连上钱包进行挖矿,结果可能是天差地别,运气好的话一次直接能够爆出 10000 个币,运气不好的话就只能获得基础收益了。

下载钱包、同步区块、开始挖矿——一切都回到了十几年前,更多人参与到这场挖矿行动中来,几乎同时各类场外 OTC 群也搭建了起来。

但算力的进阶比想象中的还要快,仅仅过了一晚时间,挖矿大军就完成了从 CPU 到 GPU 再到专业矿机的转变。而 F2Pool 更是宣布支持 Bells,这意味着这条链重新有了矿池服务——至此,这场挖矿游戏从怀旧复古运动彻底变成了与其他 POW 挖矿无异的专业竞赛。

目前,Bel 代币在场外的价格接近 4 USDT,按照这个价格计算,早期冲进去参与实验的人都获得了不菲的奖励。

随着越来越多专业矿工的加入,Bells 能否保持现有的态势继续发展?又是否会掀起一波类似的 POW 热潮?

在熊市时很难。但在近日的 FOMO 情绪下,我们保留这种可能。

Podcast Notes: Hyperliquid Has Become the Top Interest Point for Traditional Hedge Funds

Empire Podcast hosts Jason Yanowitz and Santiago Santos discuss the surging institutional interest in Hyperliquid, a decentralized perpetual exchange, marking the highest level of engagement from traditional hedge fund managers since Paul Tudor Jones endorsed Bitcoin in 2020. The primary driver is the demand for weekend trading of commodities like oil, especially during geopolitical tensions such as the Iran conflict, as Hyperliquid provides the only active price discovery venue when traditional markets are closed. Trade XYZ, a front-end on Hyperliquid, has seen significant growth, with weekend oil price predictions having a median error of only 50 basis points. Santos predicts commodity trading volume on Hyperliquid will surpass Bitcoin within the year and that its market cap could rise from $25 billion to $100 billion. Other key points include Kraken raising $200 million at a reduced valuation of $13.3 billion, and the SEC clarifying that self-custodied DeFi frontends like MetaMask are not subject to broker-dealer rules, resolving a major regulatory uncertainty. The hosts also note the strong correlation between crypto and macro markets, with the S&P 500 posting one of its best 10-day rallies since 1950. They highlight MicroStrategy's continued Bitcoin acquisitions and the potential of real-world asset (RWA) tokenization as a key trend. The discussion concludes with skepticism towards many L2 projects, predicting a wave of protocols truly going to zero as capital concentrates in proven assets like Bitcoin and Hyperliquid.

a16z: The Next Frontier of AI, The Triple Flywheel of Robotics, Autonomous Science, and Brain-Computer Interfaces

a16z presents a comprehensive investment thesis for the next frontier of AI: Physical AI, centered on a synergistic flywheel of robotics, autonomous science, and novel human-computer interfaces (HCIs) like brain-computers. While the current AI paradigm scales on language and code, the most disruptive future capabilities will emerge from three adjacent fields leveraging five core technical primitives: 1) learned representations of physical dynamics (via models like VLA, WAM, and native embodied models), 2) embodied action architectures (e.g., dual-system designs, diffusion-based motion generation, and RL fine-tuning like RECAP), 3) simulation and synthetic data as scaling infrastructure, 4) expanded sensory channels (touch, neural signals, silent speech, olfaction), and 5) closed-loop agent systems for long-horizon tasks. These primitives converge to power three key domains: * **Robotics:** The literal embodiment of AI, requiring all primitives for real-world physical interaction and manipulation. * **Autonomous Science:** Self-driving labs that conduct hypothesis-experiment-analysis loops, generating structured, causally-grounded data to improve physical AI models. * **Novel HCIs:** Devices (AR glasses, EMG wearables, BCIs) that expand human-AI bandwidth and act as massive data-collection networks for real-world human experience. These domains form a mutually reinforcing flywheel: Robotics enable autonomous labs, which in turn generate valuable data for robotics and materials science. New interfaces provide rich human-physical interaction data to train better robots and scientists. Together, they represent a new scaling axis for AI, moving beyond the digital realm to interact with and learn from physical reality, promising significant emergent capabilities and value.

Conversation with Bitwise Advisor: From K-Shaped Economy to AI Taking Jobs, How Can Bitcoin Save the Younger Generation?

Jeff Park, a macro strategist and advisor at Bitwise, argues that the traditional financial system is broken, particularly for young generations. He describes a "K-shaped economy" where asset inflation enriches the wealthy while leaving others behind, with unaffordable housing as a key symptom. Park explains that real estate is often a depreciating asset due to maintenance costs and taxes, yet it remains unattainable for many young people due to distorted demand from global capital flows. He proposes Bitcoin as a superior store of value—scarce, portable, and free from maintenance costs or excessive taxation. By diverting capital away from real estate, Bitcoin could help lower housing prices and increase accessibility. Park also discusses the decline of traditional "smart investing" (e.g., value stocks) and the rise of "ideological investing" in non-correlated assets like crypto, luxury goods, and collectibles. On AI, Park warns it could trigger extreme social inequality by eliminating jobs while boosting corporate profits. He believes this will push younger generations toward Bitcoin, not only as a hedge but also as a symbol of decentralization and data sovereignty—offering an alternative to centralized AI systems that use personal data without fair compensation. He advises a diversified portfolio with Bitcoin as a core holding to hedge against currency devaluation and systemic risk.
