Arthur Hayes 的第一份工作是在香港的德意志银行交易大厅。2008 年 9 月他入职的那天,雷曼兄弟申请了破产。当时他 22 岁。

高刺激的交易和百万美元奖金的日子戛然而止。

像 Hayes 这样的冒险青年交易员在监管、合规部门和刻板的办公室文化的冲击下被淘汰。

然后他发现了加密货币。

“当我阅读比特币白皮书时,它真的与我的真实理念产生了共鸣——比如腐败的银行系统有多么糟糕,”他告诉 DL News。

快进十年——这一过程中包括共同创立 BitMEX 加密货币交易所并成为亿万富翁,以及在美国认罪和缓刑时间——如今的加密行业开始看起来越来越像他离开的银行业。

包括贝莱德和富兰克林邓普顿在内的金融巨头现在为零售投资者提供便宜且安全的投资加密货币的方式。

富达希望将比特币纳入美国的养老金。

Hayes 说,这依然是那个老行业。

“它仍然具有全球范围内一群非常多样化的人的活力,他们来自金融或技术背景。他们想要一些不同的东西,”Hayes 上周在他位于新加坡的办公室说。

“他们想要一些有无限上涨潜力的东西,显然非常不稳定,如果你不小心很快就会被淘汰。但至少有可能产生极端的产品使用或极端的财富。”

Hayes 拥有加密 OG 的可信度。

他还成为了加密货币及其他领域最多产和最受关注的市场评论员之一。

Hayes 在周一市场崩盘之前与 DL News 聊了聊,谈到选举、金融业对加密货币的接受程度,以及他对比特币价格的看法。

关于选举

AH:他们认为特朗普说了对的话,所以他会更快实现它。不管是特朗普还是哈马斯,都无所谓。

DLN:为什么?

AH:是的,加密货币捐了很多钱。但我不认为你们捐的钱足以超过摩根大通、摩根士丹利、花旗银行、高盛。

而且,如果你想想这些机构的人员构成,都是来自这些银行的人。

所以,虽然特朗普当选并做了这些事情会很好,但我认为他可能会遇到与他第一任期相同的问题。

你可以说这些好听的话并尝试所有这些政策,但如果整个政府组织都反对它们,那么什么也不会发生。

关于比特币和货币政策

AH:无论是特朗普政府还是哈里斯政府都会印钞。他们以不同的方式做这件事。但钱会被印出来。

因此,你的加密货币会涨——路径可能会非常曲折,但归根结底,我们知道它会走向何方。

关于 SEC 主席 Gary Gensler

DLN:美国证券交易委员会主席 Gary Gensler 似乎是这个行业的大恶魔。你同意这些看法吗?

AH:人们混淆了症状和问题本身。你可以听听他的演讲,他是一个非常聪明的人。但当他在政府职位上时,就完全是个笨蛋。

这只是政治。你可以用其他人替换他。Gary Gensler 不是问题。SEC 也不是问题。

解雇 Gary Gensler 并不会有什么效果,如果你不喜欢的那套法规仍然存在,因为你的民选代表选择考虑其他事情而不是为加密货币创建框架。

人们都在为 Gary Gensler 感到愤怒,但他实际上无关紧要。

关于比特币储备的计划

AH:我认为即使特朗普当选,也几乎不可能实现这一点。

你将需要有一定数量的人投票支持这一点,你知道,这会在某种程度上对美国财政部或美联储产生负面影响或影响维持美国国债市场的可见性。

DLN:即使无法实现,你认为这是个好主意吗?

AH:哦,这是个好主意。美国应该在最后削弱美元并购买比特币和黄金。这将解决他们的许多问题。

他们会削弱美元,比特币和黄金将上涨。

我认为美国政府会积极主动地尝试收购比特币吗?高度怀疑。他们会在购买比特币之前先买黄金。

但这是一笔相同的交易。这也是我们这样做的相同动机。

关于贝莱德进入加密领域

AH:加密货币的整个意义在于它没有进入门槛。

贝莱德可以使用比特币,而在菲律宾没有金融服务的人也应该能够使用加密货币。

激励结构是否足够强大?以及区块链如何工作的博弈论和所有这些东西,确保不会发生中心化——如果发生了,有没有相应的后果?

我曾写过一点关于“被动疾病会不会感染加密货币,他们会接管所有的比特币,然后使网络僵化”等等的内容,对吧?

理论上,是的,这可能发生。但这仍然是一个开放的竞争领域。

如果你拥有贝莱德的产品,你拥有的是加密货币的衍生品,你不真正拥有加密货币——贝莱德拥有你的加密货币。

因此,贝莱德的产品对人们来说是很有吸引力的,因为它很方便,但它也不是加密货币。

关于比特币的价格

AH:在这个周期中,比特币的价格将会非常非常高。几十万美元,也许会达到 100 万美元。

有太多的债务需要展期。我们正在进入一个全球货币架构完全改变的时期。

我们不知道它会是什么样子,但过去 80 年里最成功的人们将非常抵制变化。

Behind the AI Report Card, Lies a Chinese 'Exam Setter'

Beyond the familiar performance charts like MMLU-Pro and MMMU, which major AI models strive to ace, stands a key "examiner": Chinese-Canadian researcher Wenhu Chen. An assistant professor at the University of Waterloo and founder of TIGERLab, Chen addresses the crucial need for more rigorous AI evaluation. As models like GPT-4 began scoring near-perfect results on older benchmarks like MMLU, it became difficult to distinguish their true capabilities. In response, Chen introduced MMLU-Pro in 2024, featuring harder, more reasoning-focused questions with more answer choices, successfully reintroducing meaningful performance gaps. His work extends to multi-modal evaluation with MMMU and its enhanced version, MMMU-Pro. These benchmarks test a model's ability to understand and reason with complex information from images, charts, and text across diverse academic subjects, exposing the significant challenges even top models face in genuine comprehension. Chen's background in complex QA, table reasoning, and his experience at Google DeepMind on projects like Gemini inform his approach. He understands that effective benchmarks must anticipate how models might "cheat" by memorizing data or avoiding visual analysis. His lab also actively researches video understanding and generation models (e.g., UniVideo, Vamba), ensuring his evaluation work is grounded in practical model-building challenges. Now at Meta's Super Intelligence Lab, Chen continues his focus on multi-modal data and evaluation, representing the deep yet often unseen contributions of Chinese talent in shaping the fundamental tools of the AI industry.

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written at the Moment Cursor Sold for $600 Billion

Alliance Co-founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: On Cursor's $60 Billion Sale Many aspiring founders see massive exits like Cursor's $60B sale and wonder why they can't achieve the same, often concluding opportunities are exhausted. But great companies aren't built in obvious, crowded spaces. Cursor, like Stripe, Figma, and Shopify before it, started with a non-consensus belief about the future. Before ChatGPT, they believed AI would transform knowledge work. They focused on a genuinely exciting domain, became their own customer, and obsessed over power users. Their journey involved years of "glass-chewing" effort before the market was ready. The pattern is consistent: identify a long-term technological shift, find a missed entry point, and execute for years before the trend becomes obvious. First-generation products (PayPal, Adobe, Amazon) prove a market exists. Second-generation winners (Stripe, Figma, Shopify) rebuild that market around new insights, technology, or changing customer behaviors. Founders must identify their phase in the cycle. Early entrants like Coinbase or Cursor focus on making new technology usable for power users. Later entrants find the "yin" to the established "yang"—the blind spots incumbents miss as they grow distant from individual users. The key is deep market immersion. Use every product in your space. Talk to users. Build an audience. Stop looking for ideas and start *seeing* them everywhere. Then, choose one. The idea must offer a 10x improvement or solve a "hair-on-fire" pain point—something severe enough that users are already crafting workarounds. When building, avoid feature bloat. Ask: why would someone switch? Great startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction (e.g., Cursor forked VS Code instead of creating a new editor). Distribution is the underestimated moat. Before product-market fit, achieve distribution-market fit. How do customers discover new tools? Founders like those at Airbnb, Stripe, and Cursor did unscalable, manual work to recruit early users. The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Cursor built for years pre-market, faced rejection, and persisted. So did Airbnb, Nvidia, and Rain (which launched post-FTX collapse). The lesson isn't that these founders were smarter, but that they stayed in the game long enough for their insights to compound. Framework: Spot technological cycles. Cultivate unique insight. Obsess over your market. Talk to customers. Find a hair-on-fire problem. Build the simplest wedge. Win your distribution channel. Above all, don't quit when it gets hard. Most people won't do these things consistently. The few who do build the next generation of great companies. Go build.

Weekly Editor's Picks (0613-0619)

Weekly Editor's Picks (0613-0619): Market Insights & Analysis This weekly digest curates in-depth analysis often lost in the information flow, focusing on key insights across macro trends, investment, and technology. **Macro & Geopolitics:** With the Strait of Hormuz reopening and military conflict shifting to negotiation, markets are pivoting from "war shock" to "supply restoration." Trades include shorting crude risk premiums, longing airlines/tourism, Asian energy importers, and bond duration, while shorting inflation expectations. LNG, fertilizer, and chemical chains are also being repriced. **Investment & VC:** Ray Dalio advises against betting on concentrated AI giants dominating indices, advocating for diversified portfolios of high-quality, low-correlation assets instead. Analysis covers the 4-year crypto cycle, predicting the core surviving product by 2029 will be asset trading markets. Current BTC metrics suggest a potential bottoming zone, presenting a patient accumulation window. SpaceX's high-profile IPO at a $2.1T valuation faces scrutiny over fundamentals, with key watchpoints being its likely inclusion in the Nasdaq index and Q2 earnings. Concerns are raised about potential "gamma squeeze" and systemic risks if its narrative-driven valuation gets amplified by passive index funds. Robinhood (HOOD) is noted for breaking its high correlation with crypto, bolstered by its stock trading and new underwriting business. **Web3 & AI:** A warning highlights ~$1.8T in off-balance-sheet AI infrastructure commitments (purchase commitments, leases) as a potential systemic risk if AI monetization lags. AI models are being used for World Cup predictions, adding a new layer for betting markets. A cost breakdown of a $20 AI subscription reveals the supply chain from model companies to cloud, GPUs, and power. **Prediction Markets:** The emergence of prediction market "concept stocks" is noted, with Robinhood developing its own platform, Rothera, signaling a shift from market competition to a "channel war" for user access. **CeFi & DeFi:** The SpaceX IPO tested perpetual contract mechanisms for pre-IPO assets, highlighting challenges in handling corporate actions like stock splits on-chain. The de-pegging of STRC (Strategy's preferred share) to ~$89 reflects market concerns over MicroStrategy's capital structure and BTC-backed leverage model. BlackRock's covered-call Bitcoin ETF (BITA) offers yield but caps upside, appealing to yield-seeking institutions. **Ethereum:** An opinion piece argues Ethereum's core strength is its vast developer community and composability, solidifying its role as the default operating system for the financial internet. **Weekly Hot Topics:** Include the US-Iran deal reopening the Strait of Hormuz, Fed's hawkish hold, Anthropic restricting model access, SpaceX acquiring Cursor, and a humorous stock surge for "Liuliumei" due to its "LLM" ticker.

Alliance's Co-Founder's Letter to Entrepreneurs: Written on the Occasion of Cursor's $60 Billion Sale

In this letter to entrepreneurs, Alliance reflects on the success of Cursor's $60 billion sale to Elon Musk, using it as a case study to counter the misconception that opportunities in crowded fields like AI or crypto are exhausted. The piece argues that great companies like Cursor, Stripe, Figma, and Shopify are not built by geniuses with perfect ideas, but by founders who start with a non-consensus belief about the future and build for years before that future becomes obvious to everyone. They identify long-term shifts, find overlooked entry points, and execute relentlessly. The framework for success involves: 1. **Identifying your place in the technology cycle**: Early-stage opportunities focus on making new tech usable for power users (e.g., Coinbase, Cursor). Later-stage opportunities involve finding the "yin" to an existing "yang"—the blind spots of first-generation players (e.g., Stripe vs. PayPal, Figma vs. Adobe). 2. **Cultivating unique insights**: Immerse yourself deeply in the market. Use every product, talk to users, and build an audience. Insights will emerge naturally from deep engagement. 3. **Finding a "hair-on-fire" problem**: Look for a 10x improvement or a severe, urgent pain point. The strongest signal is people already building clumsy workarounds. 4. **Building a focused MVP**: Don't just add features because you can. Ask why users would abandon their current tool for yours. The best startups rarely force new behaviors; they improve familiar workflows with drastically lower friction. 5. **Winning a distribution channel**: Distribution is often the moat. Before product-market fit, achieve channel-market fit. Find where your customers are and build an engine to reach them, even through unscalable, manual efforts initially. 6. **Persistence**: The final, unteachable ingredient is resilience. Success stories like Cursor, Airbnb, and Nvidia involved years of grinding, rejection, and perseverance when the path forward seemed unclear. The conclusion is that there is no secret. Most people fail to consistently execute these steps over the long term. The few who do build the companies that define the next era. The world is yours to create.

Crypto Miners' Big AI Gamble: Valuations Enter Differentiation Stage, Comeback Fight Proves Tough

Crypto Mining Firms' AI Bet: Valuation Divergence and a Challenging Transformation Facing declining profitability in crypto mining, mining companies are pivoting to AI infrastructure, capitalizing on their existing power resources, land, and data center expertise to offer GPU compute power. This transition narrative has boosted their stock prices significantly, with firms like Hut 8 and Bitfarms seeing gains over 100% year-to-date, far outpacing Bitcoin. This has led to a market valuation split, with pioneers like CoreWeave reaching a $62.8B market cap, while others remain below $5B. The market currently prioritizes growth potential over short-term profits, which remain under pressure due to heavy capital expenditures for AI build-outs and crypto asset volatility. However, the transformation is a high-stakes gamble. Bitcoin mining profitability is shrinking, with the average production cost around $63,707 and miner margins contracting. While AI offers a more lucrative long-term path, it requires massive investment—estimated at a $500B near-term funding gap. Success now hinges on execution: delivering on contracted power capacity, securing quality tenants like major cloud providers, and managing the immense financial burden. The valuation focus is shifting from mere power capacity to project delivery, future cash flows, and tenant quality, making this a difficult but critical turnaround attempt.
