我们已身处乱纪元。

乱纪元这个概念最早来源于刘慈欣的科幻小说《三体》。在小说中,乱纪元指的是三体文明由于三颗恒星运动的混乱而导致的灾难性时代。近年来,这一概念被引申到现实世界,形容我们当今社会的动荡和不确定性。

自 70 年代末,人们感受到了中国加入全球化进程而引领的新一轮经济高增长的黄金时代,这种和平和发展的惯性让当代人很容易忘记「乱纪元」在人类历史长河中所占比例。

川普的遇袭正是乱纪元的一个特征。回顾美国历史,每一次总统遇刺事件都发生在风雨飘摇时,这些事件不仅是个人悲剧,更是时代的缩影。

1865 年,亚伯拉罕·林肯在福特剧院遭到刺杀,时代背景是美国的南北战争。南北战争是一场关于奴隶制与国家统一的巨大冲突,这场战争不仅重塑了美国的政治版图,更深刻影响了美国社会的各个层面。林肯的遇刺正值南方军投降不久,战争结束了,但混乱并没有结束。

1963 年,约翰·肯尼迪在达拉斯遇刺。当时的美国正处于冷战高峰期,国内外压力巨大。国内的民权运动如火如荼,国际上则面临着来自苏联的红色威胁。肯尼迪的遇刺震惊世界,战后的美国已成为当之无愧的世界领袖。而世界领袖的遇刺标志着一个理想主义时代的终结,也揭示了冷战时期的复杂局势。

1981 年,罗纳德·里根在华盛顿特区遭到枪击。彼时,美国正经历严重的经济滞涨,通货膨胀和失业率居高不下。里根政府通过一系列经济改革,试图将国家从泥潭中拉出。里根的遇刺和并未成功,但那位为了求爱而刺杀总统的精神疾病患者突显了那个年代背后的经济动荡和社会焦虑。

在乱纪元里,人类对超主权货币及数字资源的需求

川普遇刺的背后是新自由主义在全球范围内遭遇的危机。21 世纪的头二十年,全球化的浪潮席卷世界,各国经济、文化和科技领域的交流与合作达到了前所未有的高度。然而,随着时间的推移,全球化进程也开始面临严峻的挑战。意识形态的分裂和发展不平衡导致了逆全球化趋势的显现,许多国家纷纷转向内向型发展模式,民族主义和保护主义抬头,全球供应链的脆弱性也日益暴露。

这种逆全球化趋势不仅影响了全球贸易和投资,也对金融体系产生了深远的影响。各国政府在经济政策上的不一致性加剧了货币市场的波动,传统货币体系面临前所未有的压力。人们开始意识到,现有的金融体系无法应对日益复杂和动荡的全球环境,迫切需要寻找一种新的、更稳定的货币形式。

盛世古董,乱世黄金。过去,美元是公认的世界货币,黄金是最有共识的抗通胀资产之一,石油则是工业血液的存在。但在一个数字化进程不可逆转、AI 突飞猛进的年代,人们对于主权在人,实时结算,全球流通的避险工具的需求是天然的。

而超主权货币概念的提出,正是应对这一需求的产物。比特币和其他加密资产作为去中心化的数字货币,不受任何机构和个人的控制,是对贵金属的数学复制,同时也具备了稀缺性数字资源的特性。它们的出现,不仅挑战了传统金融体系,也为全球投资者提供了一种全新的选择。

乱纪元中的一把密钥

加密资产的技术特性天然满足了这一需求。首先,区块链技术保证了加密资产的透明性和不可篡改性。每一笔交易都记录在区块链上,并由全网节点共同维护和验证,这使得交易过程公开透明,难以被篡改。

其次,加密资产的去中心化特性避免了传统金融体系中的许多问题。在传统金融体系中,中央银行和金融机构对货币的发行和流通具有高度的控制权,这种集中化的控制容易导致政策失误和滥用权力。而加密资产则通过分布式网络实现了去中心化的管理,减少了人为干预的风险。

此外,加密资产的有限供应和算法控制的发行机制,也有效避免了通货膨胀问题。以比特币为例,其总量被限定为 2100 万枚,这一特性使其具有抗通胀的潜力。相比之下,许多国家的法定货币由于无节制的印钞政策,面临严重的通货膨胀问题。

尽管加密资产在投资和价值储存方面已经展现出巨大的潜力,但其在支付领域的应用仍然面临诸多挑战。然而,随着技术的不断进步和应用场景的扩展,加密资产在支付上的突破可以期待。

近年来,越来越多的商家和服务提供商开始接受比特币等加密货币作为支付手段,特别是在经济发展滞涨地区,这些尝试和探索为加密资产在支付领域的普及奠定了基础。加密资产不仅可以提高支付的效率和安全性,还可以降低跨境支付的成本和时间。传统的跨境支付通常需要经过多个中介机构,手续费高且处理时间长。而加密资产的跨境支付可以实现点对点的直接转账,大大简化了支付流程,降低了成本。

一旦加密资产能够在支付领域取得突破,成为人们日常生活中常用的支付工具,其作为乱纪元中一把密钥的潜力将被充分释放。在这个动荡的时代,比特币和其他加密资产提供了一种新的安全资产和避险工具可能,而 Web3 则提供了一种新的信任机制和社会构建方式。

U.S. Bonds, AI, Inflation: You Can't Have All Three – What's Bitcoin Betting On?

Title: U.S. Treasury Bonds, AI, and Inflation: A Trilemma Facing Washington, and Where BTC Fits In Core Thesis: The U.S. government faces a trilemma: stabilizing the Treasury market, sustaining the AI investment cycle, and controlling inflation. The likely political choice is to prioritize the first two, accepting higher inflation for longer. This creates a sustained tailwind for both gold and Bitcoin by injecting liquidity and shifting duration risk away from the private sector. Key Pressures on Treasuries: * Long-term yields (e.g., 10-year ~4.70%) are near multi-decade highs due to persistent inflation risks, high fiscal supply, weaker demand for long duration, and new competition from AI infrastructure financing. * AI investment, requiring massive capital (estimated ~$300B in investment-grade bond issuance), is now competing directly with the Treasury in long-duration debt markets. * Geopolitical tensions (e.g., Iran conflict) add upward pressure on oil prices and defense spending. Policy Response: The Treasury, under Secretary Besant, is focusing on market stability through measures like supporting the Yen (to prevent forced Japanese Treasury sales), increasing repo operations for long-dated bonds, and potentially shifting issuance toward the short end. This "aggressive Treasury issuance" can function like "stealth QE," easing financial conditions. Impact on Assets: * **Gold** has already benefited (up ~90% from Aug 2024 to Aug 2026), driven by declining trust in the USD, inflation fears, and a "monetary debasement" narrative. * **Bitcoin** is now showing stronger correlation with this theme. Recent outperformance vs. gold (BTC +22.2% vs. Gold +5.9% in late Aug) coincided with Treasury's enhanced repo actions, suggesting the market may be pricing it as a liquidity/ debasement hedge, not just a speculative tech asset. Conclusion: If high inflation, large deficits, and AI capital demands persist, the cost of stabilizing bonds and growth will be shorter debt maturity, constant liquidity support, and tolerance for higher inflation—a favorable environment for gold and BTC. This view would be challenged only by a return to ~2% inflation, credible fiscal consolidation, or AI becoming self-funding.

HBM is Being Redefined

HBM is being redefined as AI-driven demand for computing power shifts the performance bottleneck from processing units to memory bandwidth, making High Bandwidth Memory the critical component for advanced AI hardware. At HotChips 2026, Samsung and SK Hynix unveiled new technical roadmaps for HBM4, moving away from the traditional approach of simply increasing DRAM speed and stacking layers. The focus for HBM4 has shifted from DRAM optimization to a comprehensive system-level redesign of the Base Die. Key innovations include upgrading the Base Die to advanced logic processes (e.g., Samsung's 4nm), adopting hybrid bonding for 3D stacking, and exploring heterogeneous packaging solutions like Intel's EMIB alongside the established CoWoS. This marks HBM's evolution from a simple memory component into an integrated system involving "memory + logic + packaging + IP + EDA." This transition brings benefits like better signal integrity, higher I/O bandwidth (up to 2048-bit), and potential for in-memory computing. However, it also introduces significant complexity. DRAM manufacturers now must deeply collaborate with logic foundries, extending design cycles and increasing supply chain challenges. Furthermore, the industry is moving towards multiple advanced packaging paths, with EMIB emerging as an alternative to CoWoS to alleviate capacity constraints, while hybrid bonding is being developed for future ultra-high (16+ layer) stacks. New core barriers have emerged beyond manufacturing. High-speed PHY/SERDES IP, crucial for HBM4's higher data rates, is concentrated among a few established players, creating an entry barrier for smaller firms. Similarly, the industry lacks mature 3D heterogeneous EDA toolchains capable of co-simulating the coupled electrical, thermal, and mechanical effects across the logic base, memory stacks, and interposer. These "soft" capabilities in IP and EDA are now critical determinants of HBM4's performance and yield. In summary, the HBM industry is entering a new era of systemic competition. The standardized approach is giving way to divergent vendor roadmaps, with multiple technologies coexisting. Success will depend on integrated architecture, packaging, process, and ecosystem capabilities, fundamentally reshaping the competitive landscape for AI memory.

The Era of Earning 200,000 from a 3,000 Investment Is Over; AI Comic Dramas Are Not a Get-Rich-Quick Trend

The era of turning 3,000 yuan into 200,000 yuan is over. AI-generated comic dramas are no longer a low-barrier gold rush. A wave of sudden account suspensions has hit creators in AI comic dramas, AI art, and AI tutorials, primarily triggered by new content and copyright compliance rules implemented by Tomato Novel on August 17. This "last straw" exposed the underlying issues: tightening platform rules, rising copyright requirements, increasing costs, and severe content homogenization. The business model was fundamentally unsustainable for most creators. One creator detailed the math: producing five minutes of content daily cost around 510 yuan in AI computing and editing, while a video with 60,000 views might only earn 45 yuan. While a few early viral hits like "Huo Qubing" and "Zombie Cleaner" achieved high returns with minimal investment, they were exceptions. The reality for most solo creators was barely covering costs or operating at a loss. The new regulations mandate formal authorization from original authors for adaptations, limit video length and the amount of原著 content used, and ban terms like "Episode 1" in titles. This directly dismantled the previous "produce first, authorize later" model. Faced with the inability to afford版权 costs and the threat of penalty, many creators chose to halt updates. While some fans expressed frustration, the rules protect original authors who often faced侵权 with little recourse. The shutdowns signal not the failure of AI technology, but an inevitable industry shift from wild growth to regulated refinement. The previous model prioritized quick cash over quality content, leading to formulaic, "AI-face" saturated dramas that audiences grew tired of. The future belongs to creators who use AI as a tool to serve solid storytelling, not replace it. Some are now seeking formal licenses, a slower but necessary process. Upcoming national regulations further underscore this move towards standardization, weeding out those seeking only fast money and making space for genuine creators.
