F1 阿布扎比 day2 见到了诺里斯本斯 @LandoNorris
很多人不看好Lando,但是我觉得一个富二代能在一个这么卷的领域做的很好已经很不错了。
他跟我说周围很多人会说他想听的而不是真的对他好的话,而很幸运的是他的训练师跟了他十几年虽然是雇佣关系但是能够给他真正的指导建议!期待见证历史
On Day 2 of F1, its my pleasure to had a great conversation with Lando Norris
A lot of people don't think highly of Lando, but I think it's already impressive that a rich kid can do so well in such a competitive field.
He told me that many people around him just say what he wants to hear, rather than what's actually good for him. But fortunately, his trainer has been with him for over ten years. Even though it’s an employer-employee relationship, his trainer is able to give him real guidance and advice!
Thanks @jiena_okx for bringing us this opportunity, looking forward to witnessing history today!

分享一些BNB Hack的Takeaway
1. BNB Chain近些年的不懈迭代,已经成为了非常开发者友好的高性能基建,在YZi Labs的加持下生态项目的质量越来越高
2. 随着使用AI进行自然语言编程的普及和开发的成本大幅降低使得黑客松的能产出越来越完善和复杂的原型
3. 产品做的足够好时,融资会水到渠成,创始人应该更多的把精力放在寻找PMF和如何Scale
4. 阿布扎比是一个充满机遇的高速发展的城市,政策制定者着眼在5-10年的长期发展,所有的大门都向创新者打开
5. AI和区块链会是未来世界的两大主线,也是增长最快和潜力最大的行业,而两者结合将创造更大的市场价值,形成1+1大于2的效应
6. 预测市场是非常好的风口,但好的创业者创造风口而不是追逐风口,不断试错寻找正确的方向,持续的投入和耕耘,坚持长期主义而非短期投机
7. 区块链的普及使得构建金融基础设施的门槛大幅降低,金融服务不再是华尔街的特权,创新的同时保持和监管的沟通

我的四个加密VC 投资梦想
在不少一级市场 VC 都在退出市场的这一刻,我还是想讲讲“我的加密投资梦想”;在一级市场,也就是支持创业者这块,我们不会放弃,因为我们有以下“四个梦想”,也是完整叙述一下我们一直坚持的投资主题:
梦想一:财富分配的信息权
举一个例子:全世界的福利彩票体系有5000 多亿美金的合法体量,除了一般人会质疑的开奖环节,其实大部分的福利彩票体系,在福利金的捐助环节,充满着腐败和不透明;这是一个远比游戏行业(全球 2000 亿美金)大的财富分配领域,但是在开奖,中奖,捐赠,最终分配环节,始终没有一个完全公开透明可审计的方案,并且其中为了流通而花费的摩擦费用巨大,有 20-30% 之多,原本可以用来做更多社会捐助的资金,被用在渠道商;我的梦想很简单,区块链结算系统应该承担起使整个福利彩票系统更为透明和高效的责任,构建了一个全世界最大的随机性游戏公平结算系统;这是一个纯粹的信息流转优化,只不过在 gas fee 较高的年代,是无法支撑小额多次的,现在其实可以了;这个世界需要一个公开,非盈利,透明,可链上审计的结算系统,而我们早已有了;如果我们问一个路人彩民,这里有一个只亏 10%(而不是 50-60%),透明公开的刮刮乐,你愿意放弃原先你在玩的那个过来吗?答案显而易见。
梦想二:公共物品的定价权
举一个例子:为什么这个世界上,没有收入但有社会价值的事情,没有办法获得定价?比如 Wikipedia,比如 Linux,比如 Deepseek R1,大部分的开源事业,公益世界,政治组织,是无法定价的,但它们各自都有其社会价值,甚至远大于目前币圈大部分资产。这就关系到了一个我们一直在关注的议题:如何给公共物品定价?;其实这个话题对于加密世界根本不陌生,因为这就是加密金融一直在做的事情:比特币作为一个公共现金转账网络,不就有一个价格了吗?以太坊作为一个公共结算和计算网络,不也有一个价格了吗?那为什么这个世界上有那么多有意义的公共物品,不能被定价呢?这里面当然关系到项目方利益,如何解决 front run,如何有效分配资金,如何既有激励又有 governance 等等,但是如果这个事情真的发生,那加密金融世界将会多出多大的一块有效资产呢,且这是股权市场无法定价的。(对不起,meme还不是,自己控盘再去捐助desci 啥的也还不是)最近我和多个创始人和交易平台在探讨这个话题,已经有一些新的眉目了,我们也可能会支持投资,也走完全非盈利的路线。我坚信这样一个非盈利的平台,本身发币后,市场也会给与合理定价。
梦想三:主流金融的记账权
举一个例子:每个币圈的人都在盼望主流金融的资金大举涌入,那么有没有想过,主流资产进来了没?所谓主流资产,很简单,全世界资产定价之锚:美债。因此也会很容易想到 RWA;但是当下很多 RWA 的思路还停留在吸引链上的稳定币去买链下的资产(非常P2P 的思维,走不远),而我认为 RWA真正的潜力,在于争夺主流金融资产的原生定价权。什么意思呢,就是美债如果有一天是美国财政部在链上直接发行,而不是现在通过 brokerage 去 wrap 一层,那么整个游戏将会改变。因为区块链世界的最大特点就是:记账代表一切,记账等于资产发行等于资产流通。拿到记账权,就是拿到了后面所有的金融全力,再释放给整个加密金融体系,将会是巨大的。因此我们也将会有链上原生的货币市场基金,也因此会有原生的“余额宝”,经常看我 x 的同学也知道,我一直认为只有链上原生的余额宝,才是解决金融不公平的第一步,即让所有持有现金的人都能享受一定收益,而不是只有让有钱人更能享受到更高收益的现金和理财管理工具。
梦想四:智能时代的隐私权
举一个例子:未来的 10 年,谁掌握最多的用户数据(其实就是隐私),谁就是王者,反过来,谁能保护用户隐私,谁就是加密领域的王者;密码学世界有非常多的工具,将会被应用在与 AI 的矛盾对抗中。我自己瞎猜猜预测,这些被密码学能力武装的解决方案,大概率与本地化相关,大概率与用户账户体系相关,大概率与某些数据加密流转授权相关,但也可以大概率与区块链无关。所以我们不要用区块链思维去看这个超级大的命题,我们可以跳出区块链思维,用所谓加密的基础原教旨主义精神:“Trustless”去看待这个命题,我非常相信,这里面会出一个与 BTC 等量齐观甚至远大于 BTC 量级的机会(因为如果 AI 的影响力大于金融体系的影响力,那么对中心化 AI 对抗的体系,应该会大于与中心化金融对抗的体系);这也是为什么我现在可能非常多的时间在关注和投资 AI 项目(不是伪 AI 叙事项目),因为未来无论你我,都将面临如何避免被 AI 剥削的命题。
以上的四个梦想,其实不该是我的梦想,而是有识之士可以一起来共创的伟业,要实现这些梦想,几乎都自带无比高的危险,无比扯淡的逻辑,无比理想化的地方,所以这才是风险所在,这才是风险投资所在;
已经为这些梦想买单了,还不够多,必须继续,也欢迎有识之士的加入!
梦想一: @sortesfun , @get_truenorth
梦想二:还在寻找
梦想三: @pharos_network @WSPNpayment @1MoneyNetwork @glider_fi
梦想四:还在寻找
此外,我们也投资了大量的基础设施项目,和其他加密 VC 在上个和这个周期一样,这里就不一一举例了。
最后,让我们记住几个数字:
- 透明公平的 5000 亿美金随机结算
- 数十亿月活的公共网络物品的定价
- 每年6 万亿贸易资金结算成本节省
- 60亿人在 AI 集权时代的最后堡垒
想想就激动,真不着急去做二级或者搞固收了。

随缘分享一些ETH Denver2025的感受:
不管是去年大火的Berachain还是今年炸子鸡的Story,被讨论最多的是一些浅显而易懂的概念,AI的数据基建和ZKP比AI 伴侣跟Meme要难获得社区认同的点在于布道的难度太高了,曲高和寡,只有少数精英能懂其潜在的价值。而这样的项目失去了社区的买盘,一级市场投资者想赚钱就变得很难。为什么过去一级市场的投资回报在下降,这来自社区和项目方理念的割裂。
现阶段当神秘而难懂的缩写和概念不再能成为在二级买单的理由,市场需要的是
sustainable growth
easy to understand
最好还有趣的Dapp和场景
Infrastructure is over constructed
第三年来参加这个每年全球最大的以太坊开发者盛会,前两年都是作为展会方志愿者,今年作为展商参加。
有人在问关于赞助是不是值得的问题,我认为要看项目能不能获得来逛展会的社区的认同,有些展商第二天下午就开天窗了,社区是一个人一个人的build起来的不是说上了币安或者Coinbase就能有自然的强共识,反而很多项目的共识的崩塌起点就是CEX listing。原先的持币社区变成exchange launchpad收割的对象,还有啥信仰可言呢?
最后搞点玄学吧:
Now Faith is the assurance of things hoped for.
The conviction of things not seen.

People should have the right to decide how the money raised through the public welfare system is used.
The traditional lottery, a business spanning over 50 years, has been controlled by a small group of cabals, leading to widespread corruption and a loss of public trust.
We are going to change this by returning power to the people, allowing them to make their own choices in this $300 billion-per-year market.

@VitalikButerin @EMostaque 2. Should be much better of course
English

Yes. The long term solution is to create political structures that are more resistant to this.
I see two attractors:
1. Political leaders live in imperial palace, not allowed to have external lives -> no benefit from getting a bribe
2. More distributed power, so less gain in corrupting any specific person
It should be obvious which one I prefer and am interested in working on.
English

The risk of politician coins comes from the fact that they are such a perfect bribery vehicle. If a politician issues a coin, you do not even need to send *them* any coins to give them money. Instead, you just buy and hold the coin, and this increases the value of their holdings passively.
Furthermore, there is deniability: holding the coin is, in terms of financial effect, a linear combination of donating to the issuer and gambling. Hence you can have the intention of doing the former but when challenged claim that you are doing the latter.
You can even hold the coin privately, and show that you are holding it to whoever you need to show; you do not need any zero knowledge proofs, you just send a test transaction.
This is all risky to democracy, for reasons very similar to what I wrote in vitalik.eth.limo/general/2021/0… , vitalik.eth.limo/general/2020/0… and elsewhere. TLDR: the economic arguments for why markets are so great for "regular" goods and services do not extend to "markets for political influence".
I recommend politicians do not go down this path.

"Now is the time to talk about the fact that large-scale political coins cross a further line: they are not just sources of fun, whose harm is at most contained to mistakes made by voluntary participants, they are vehicles for unlimited political bribery, including from foreign nation states."
