加密貨幣市場動蕩,比特幣價格今年下跌約50%,以太幣價格下跌70%,據稱就連堅定的加密貨幣支持者也在“恐慌性拋售”,在這種情況下,人們不由會對數字貨幣的未來產生質疑。
上周,硅谷風投基金安德森·霍洛維茨(Andreessen Horowitz)的首席加密貨幣投資者克里斯·狄克森在《紐約時報》的“Sway”播客中表示,質疑加密貨幣這種新興技術的人非常缺乏遠見。
狄克森對主持人卡拉·斯威舍表示,從互聯網和科技的歷史來看,加密貨幣的發展有兩個不同的方面,分別是金融以及產品與技術。
他表示,金融方面就像是“不安分的瘋狂叔叔。我認為去年的價格太高,今年的價格太低。……這種劇烈波動,在我看來沒有任何道理。”
他認為,應該將金融與產品和技術區分開來,要從長期的歷史角度來看待這個問題。
他說道:“我會從計算領域的歷史看待區塊鏈。從二戰以來,每10年或15年左右,計算領域就會出現一次新的浪潮。我花了很長時間思考和閱讀計算領域的歷史。我認為,每一次浪潮都有所謂的孵化期。”
狄克森表示,1993年,第一部智能手機問世,但早期的手機在上世紀80年代就已經誕生,例如1987年的電影《致命武器》(Lethal Weapon)就出現了手機,盡管當時的手機體型笨重。
他說道:“所以,手機最早的構想并不像iPhone那么完美。”
狄克森認為,加密貨幣行業內有兩個派系,分別是“Web3建設者派系”和“賭場”派系。狄克森既不認同也不支持后者。
他表示,但“我認為我們不應該全盤否定加密貨幣。我認為核心技術非常重要。”
狄克森稱,Web3結合了“Web1開放的去中心化協議的最佳特征和Web2先進的現代化功能”,有潛力使掌控網絡的幾家巨頭失去權力,將權力授予用戶。
狄克森補充道:“在我看來,目前世界上還沒有其他顛覆性技術,能夠像Web3一樣有機會真正打敗這些龐然大物。”(財富中文網)

With crypto on shaky ground—Bitcoin is down about 50% this year, Ether 70%—and hardcore believers reportedly "panic selling," one has to wonder about the future of digital currencies.
Those who doubt the nascent technology are taking too myopic of a view, Chris Dixon, the lead crypto investor at Silicon Valley venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, told The New York Times’ "Sway" podcast this past week.
If one looks at the history of the internet and tech, there are two tracks: financial, and product and tech, Dixon told host Kara Swisher.
The financial process has been "this crazy uncle that's jumping up down," he said. "I thought last year was too high. I think this year, it's too low. ... But it just seems wildly volatile to me in a way that doesn't fully make sense."
It should be viewed separately from the product and tech track, he said, rather stating it should be through the long lens of history.
"I put blockchains into the history of computing," he said. "If you go back to World War II, every 10 of 15 years or so, there's been a new computing wave. And for each of those—and I've spent a lot of time thinking about this and reading the history of it—each of those waves had what I call the incubation phase."
The first smartphone was developed in 1993, but early cell phones, as clunky and clumsy as they were, were available in the '80s, Dixon said, citing their appearance in the 1987 film "Lethal Weapon."
"So, I mean, it's not like this immaculate conception where the iPhone appears," he said.
The crypto industry has two factions, according to Dixon—the "Web3 builder faction," and what he calls "casino," which he generally dislikes and doesn't support.
But, "I don't think that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater," he said. "I think that core technology is very important."
Web3—which combines "the best features of the open, decentralized protocols of Web1 with the advanced modern functionality of Web2"—has the potential to render powerless the handful of giants that control the web, and put that power in the hands of users, Dixon said.
Added Dixon: "There’s no other disruptive tech in the world right now, in my view, that’s actually going to have a chance to take down these companies than Web3."
