叙事一致性的解药和突破性创新的关键不仅仅是竞争,还有争论。

叙事一致性的解药和突破性创新的关键不仅仅是竞争,还有争论。

如果雷内·吉拉德(注:雷内·吉拉德是法国思想家,提出了模仿欲望的概念)今天还活着,他会对加密货币报以深情地微笑。不是因为我们的技术进步或我们为没有银行账户的人提供银行服务并将互联网从大公司的束缚中解放出来的使命,而是因为这个伟大的在线游戏的参与者证明了吉拉德的理论。吉拉德创造了「模仿欲望」这个词,这种欲望像病毒一样在加密行业中传播。


叙述的一致性困扰着加密货币。


品牌和社交媒体追随者是通过告诉人们他们想听的内容来建立的。一条简单的「ETH to 1 万」推文或 LIWIFHAT 将比任何新的 EIP 获得更多的以太坊社区的关注。 「DAO 是工作的未来」、「音乐 NFT 是唱片公司的终结者」、「无银行化」,并不是我们不相信自己所说的话,而是陈述比批判性思考容易该陈述的含义和缺陷更容易。一旦人们听到了新的叙事:「消费者加密货币」、「Web3 社交」、「链上媒体」,意向性就会消失。 


这很大程度上是由于社交媒体的性质造成的,但这不是唯一的因素,也不是最重要的因素。竞争验证了理论,但在一个公共、24/7 小时运作的生态系统中,争论推动着我们前进。 


我认为,叙事一致性的解药和突破性创新的关键不仅仅是竞争,还有争论。


加密货币需要更多争论



竞争与争论的区别不仅在于战斗,还在于战斗的公共性质,在大多数情况下,这种公共性质是由社区情绪冲突所驱动的。争论不一定是恶意的,但必须是响亮的。争论意味着游戏中存在利益冲突,无论是社会的还是财务的。定罪的概率很高,你可能会被公开证明是错误的,人们会不遗余力地这样做。


从历史上看,加密货币的传说充满了争论:BTC vs BCH、ETH vs ETC、Punks vs Apes、Uniswap vs Sushiswap……这样的例子不胜枚举。


让我们以 UNI/SUSHI 为例。 Sushiswap 最初是 Uniswap 的一个分支,通过 SUSHI 代币奖励(独特的公平发布,还记得吗?)来激励 LP,从而对 Uniswap 发起吸血鬼攻击。Sushiswap 的日交易量甚至一度超越 Uniswap。最终 Uniswap 发布了 UNI 空投,它帮助 Uniswap 很快夺回了顶级 DEX 的宝座,并推动了 DEX 的重大创新,我认为这是推动颠覆中心化交易所主导地位的主要催化剂。吸血鬼攻击导致了各个社区之间和内部的非常激烈的公开斗争(例如 Sushiswap 的创始人代币倾销),但事后看来,生态系统因此变得更加有用和成熟。


因此,可以说「加密货币争论的秘诀」包括:


  • 进步的社区行动
  • 正确的时机
  • 主要角色
  • 强叙事和反叙事
  • 财务激励


最近,Solana 的浴火重生引发了 ETH 和 SOL 社区之间的激烈争斗。显然,不同的 L1 自然会相互竞争,但直到 Solana 开始在各种指标上「获胜」时,争论才出现。Ansem 成为这场争论中的关键人物,导致一些以太坊影响者脱离。然而,这场争论导致以太坊构建者和用户认真重新考虑他们的优先事项,并推动链和应用程序级别的用户体验改进。


更多示例


OpenSea 和 Blur 是另一个很好的例子。 Blur 推出了一种鼓励在平台上进行挂单和交易的代币激励机制,与出色的用户体验相结合,导致 OpenSea 在以太坊上的 NFT 交易主导地位逐渐衰落。这场战斗还引发了围绕 NFT 版税的重要性和可执行性的广泛讨论。虽然 Blur 并不是第一个停止向创作者支付版税的公司,但他们无疑是最响亮、最成功的,这引发了广泛的辩论和社区行动。


还有,Nouns 与 Nouns Fork 发生了争论,这迫使社区重新评估他们应该如何支出国库资金以及 Nouns 的更广泛目的是什么。结果,社区变得更加强大,但并非没有围绕「扩散」的本质进行公开激烈的辩论,并且大量 ETH 离开了 DAO 金库。


没有双方和公开斗争就不是一场真正的争论。例如,浏览器钱包上线后,Rainbow 就开始使用积分作为吸引和留住 Metamask 用户的一种方式,但 Metamask 社区无动于衷。


我热切地期待着加密货币领域中某些有争论的叙述和话题的展开: 


  • 围绕链上经济的叙述,特别是 L2 经济。 
  • Web3 中社交 feed 的发展。
  • 通过钱包吸引用户的过程。
  • 音乐源的整合和演变。
  • Web3 出版物的动态。


最后


卫生纸问题(来源


加密货币是一个公共领域,虽然我们在某些方面确实「还处于早期」,但还没有早到能够回避竞争和争论。公共领域可以是有毒的模仿欲望的空间,也可以是有益的争论的空间,我们应该选择后者。


「我们都会成功」并不意味着「我们都必须同意」。如果我们选择最佳的前进道路,我们就能成功。 愿最好的模因获胜。

The "Impossible Triad" Is Fundamentally a Pseudo-Problem

The article argues that blockchain's fundamental limitation is not the scalability trilemma (decentralization, scalability, security), which has been largely solved, but the lack of **privacy** and, until recently, clear **legitimacy**. Blockchain is described as a slow, expensive, globally shared computer whose core value is censorship resistance and verifiability. While ideal for native digital assets like money (e.g., stablecoins), its default transparency acts as a **tax**, exposing all transactions and enabling MEV extraction, which deters serious institutional capital. Simultaneously, its permissionless nature created regulatory ambiguity. The piece contends that **privacy** is the missing critical feature. It rejects the false choice between total transparency and complete anonymity. Modern cryptography (like zero-knowledge proofs) enables **compliant privacy**: users can prove facts (solvency, KYC status, compliance) without revealing the underlying sensitive data (specific holdings, identities). This preserves auditability for regulators and eliminates the leak of financial information. With recent regulatory progress (e.g., the GENIUS Act) addressing legitimacy, adding default, provably compliant privacy becomes a pure upgrade. It transforms blockchain from a costly, public ledger into a confidential settlement layer, finally bridging the gap to mainstream institutional and individual adoption of on-chain finance.

Optical Chips: Collective Capacity Expansion

The global optical chip industry is experiencing a massive wave of expansion driven by surging AI data center demand. Major players across the US, Japan, Europe, and China are aggressively investing to ramp up production capacity. In the US, Coherent is expanding its 6-inch Indium Phosphide (InP) semiconductor fab in Texas, supported by CHIPS Act funding and a $2 billion strategic investment from NVIDIA. Lumentum is building a new factory for InP optical devices, and Nokia is scaling its advanced photonic chip packaging and testing capabilities. NVIDIA's investments aim to secure future supply of critical lasers and optical interconnect products for AI infrastructure. Japan's JX Advanced Metals, a leading InP substrate supplier, plans a multi-billion yen investment to increase its capacity 7-10 times, strengthening its grip on the crucial upstream materials market. In Europe, IQE and Tower Semiconductor settled a patent dispute and signed a multi-year InP epitaxial wafer supply agreement, highlighting that next-generation silicon photonics platforms will integrate high-performance InP components. STMicroelectronics and Sivers Semiconductors are also expanding silicon photonics production and partnerships. China is rapidly building out its domestic supply chain. Dongshan Precision's subsidiary, Source Photonics, announced a $12 billion project to expand optical chip and module production. Companies like Sanan Optoelectronics and Yunnan Germanium are scaling up InP chip manufacturing and substrate production, moving towards vertical integration from materials to modules. While debate continues around the exact future architecture—whether CPO (Co-Packaged Optics), NPO, or pluggables will dominate—analysts like Morgan Stanley argue the underlying driver is unchangeable: the explosive growth in bandwidth demand. This will inevitably increase the volume of optical engines, lasers, and related content per GPU, regardless of the final technical path. The competition for "more light" in the AI era has intensified into a global, full-chain capacity race.

Stablecoins Finally Find Real Yield: An In-Depth Look at On-Chain Reinsurance Re | A Conversation with Re Founder Karan Saroya

Stablecoin Real Yield Found: A Deep Dive into On-Chain Reinsurance with Re's Karan Saroya As stablecoin supply exceeds $170 billion, the search for sustainable, non-speculative yield intensifies. Re, an on-chain reinsurance platform, provides an answer: connecting stablecoin capital to the trillion-dollar traditional reinsurance market. Re operates as a regulated reinsurer, accepting stablecoin deposits as collateral to back US insurance companies. These insurers pay premiums, generating yield that flows back to on-chain depositors. Currently supporting 35 insurers and underwriting $500 million, Re projects scaling to over $1 billion soon. Key insights from a Bankless podcast with founder Karan Saroya and investor Avichal of Electric Capital: 1. **Uncorrelated, Real-World Yield:** Re offers stablecoin holders access to reinsurance returns (targeting 12-14%+), an asset class entirely separate from crypto or equity markets. 2. **Operational Efficiency via Smart Contracts:** Re replaces traditional, labor-intensive capital fundraising with smart contracts, allowing a ~12-person team to compete with industry giants. 3. **Regulatory Leverage:** For every $1 of collateral, regulations allow backing $5-7 in written premiums. This leverage amplifies returns from the underlying risk-free rate. 4. **DeFi Integration:** Depositors receive receipt tokens, which can be used in protocols like Morpho for "looping," potentially pushing yields to 18-20%+. 5. **The "DeFi Mullet" Model:** A compliant front-end (regulated reinsurer) paired with a decentralized back-end (smart contracts, DeFi capital markets). 6. **RE Governance Token:** Modeled on Lloyd's of London, the token governs the central capital pool's allocation, counterparty acceptance, and parameters. 7. **Real Economic Impact:** Capital funds real-world productivity (factories, clinics, businesses) via insurance, moving beyond crypto's internal loops. The discussion highlights a pivotal moment: DeFi's supply-side infrastructure is now met by real demand for productive yield, potentially kickstarting a flywheel where vast on-chain stablecoin capital seeks these real-world returns.

1996 or 1999? Walsh's First Test is 'How to View AI'

"1996 or 1999? Wall's First Big Test Is 'How to View AI'" Federal Reserve Chairman Wall's initial challenge is not whether to raise or cut rates, but a more fundamental judgment: what kind of boom is the current AI boom? This will determine the Fed's policy path and define his legacy. Economics is split between two opposing views, according to reporter Nick Timiraos. One sees imminent productivity gains that will increase supply and cool inflation, allowing the Fed to hold steady. The other argues that while productivity benefits are distant, demand shocks are here now, and waiting for data confirmation risks missing the intervention window, forcing sharper rate hikes later. Wall has signaled a leaning toward the first view, echoing 1996-era Alan Greenspan, who embraced strong, productivity-driven growth without fear of inflation. However, Wall faces a different macro environment than Greenspan did, with tariff pressures, expanding fiscal deficits, and diminishing globalization benefits, which could force more significant inflation pressures even if AI benefits materialize. Wall's logic, expressed before taking office, is that AI-driven productivity gains won't show in official data for years. If the Fed waits for confirmation, it might mistakenly tighten policy and choke off the very growth that could suppress inflation. This argues for using forward-looking narratives over lagging data. Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee presents a key counter-argument. He distinguishes between expected and unexpected productivity booms. A widely anticipated boom, like the current AI wave, can cause people to spend future wealth gains in advance, overheating the economy before productivity actually rises, thus requiring preemptive rate hikes. He cites rising costs for AI data centers as evidence of such overheating. Fed Governor Christopher Waller offers a rebuttal to Goolsbee, noting the "expected spending" mechanism only works if people can borrow against future income, which many households cannot do due to borrowing constraints. Wall also faces a paradox related to his desire to reduce the Fed's use of "forward guidance" (pre-announcing policy moves). This practice was established in 1999 when Greenspan began signaling hikes to avoid market shocks. If the economy follows a less optimistic path, Wall may be forced to choose between using the guidance he wants to abolish or risking market volatility by staying silent. The ultimate question defining Wall's first major test remains: Is this 1996 or 1999?
