Many people still don’t understand, what on earth am I shouting about?What I call using righteous words to lead righteous teachers is actually just thatCalling for the return of the “cypherpunk spirit”.
Look at what our industry looks like now:
Centralized exchanges control the power of life and death, VC coins are high and FDV is dumped, witches are rampant in airdrop incentives and studios are in power, project teams have been idle since TGE, and MEME-based nihilism has made most practitioners unable to find the meaning of Build…
This is really not a simple matter of labeling oneself a decentralized idealist, but at a time when this industry has completely lost its way and even completely changed. I want to send out a cry and call on everyone to re-examine:What is the original cypherpunk spirit of Crypto?
It is not the self-pleasure of some technology geeks, but a technological innovation force that continues to use code to fight against power monopoly;
It is not the alienated packaging of innovative narratives by exchanges and VCs, but an innovative experiment using cryptography to reconstruct a centralized trust mechanism;
It is not a game of drumming and passing flowers by hyping up concepts to cut leeks, but a long-term construction that adheres to the provision of value;
…
When Satoshi released the Bitcoin white paper, he was fighting against the corruption of the centralized financial system exposed in the 2008 financial crisis; when @VitalikButerin proposed Ethereum, he envisioned a world computer where anyone could deploy applications without permission.
And now, how many people still remember these original intentions?
In other words, these shouts of mine are not to vent my grievances after Degen’s liquidation, nor to attack the exchange at the peak of its power, nor to gain attention and grandstand.
I really think that,Our Crypto environment has changed, it is sick and useless, and it needs a cultural awakening and redemption!
I know it is very powerless, but what is even more frightening is that most people think it is meaningless and totally wrong. We are currently experiencing the black swan liquidation and bloodbath, the crisis of trust in cutting leeks, and everything we have encountered makes everyone only know the hollowness and emptiness of “cutting” and “cheating”, as well as the sense of unconscious speculation in the group.
All stem from the lack of the pure “cryptopunk” spirit.
