在瞬息万变的加密货币世界里,很容易被炒作、技术术语和层出不穷的新项目弄得头晕目眩。但有时,新的视角能切开噪音,让我们看到更宏观的图景。这正是 Helius.dev 的 CEO Mert 在他最近的 X 帖子 中所做的:他将加密划分为三大核心类别——commercial、casino 与 cypherpunk。作为在加密新闻战壕中打拼多年的从业者,我认为这个框架不仅有洞见,而且对任何在区块链领域导航的人都至关重要——尤其是对那些关注 meme 代币的人。
先来看看 Mert 的原话:
it's clear at this point that there are 3 classes of crypto
i) commercial crypto
ii) casino crypto
iii) cypherpunk cryptocommercial crypto is RWAs, stablecoins, institutions
things that use crypto for its function in increasing the efficiency of finance
faster payments, faster settlement, better composability, and a universal API for money
this is mostly a positive development, but it does necessarily ignore most of the core ideals of why crypto was started
there are a lot of relatively invisible chokepoints of control here that most people have not woken up to
i.e., that 95% of stablecoins can be frozen or single sequencer censorshipcasino crypto is mostly things that are borderline regulatory arbitrage and are heavily premised on speculation
too wild for institutions, but still not necessarily native to crypto ideals
most of the aim here seems to be making money
I don't have anything against this as I believe people should do whatever they do without harming others, but it's not something I'm personally interested inthe final, least prevalent and almost extinct class of crypto is the cypherpunk class
this is ironic as the cypherpunk class is responsible for starting the entire industry as well as underlying its most important set of functionality
satoshi was a cypherpunk
cypherpunks use cryptography and code to build systems of freedom
freedom from state overreach, freedom of speech, and the right to transact
this group gets confused for what is actually criminal behaviour like breaking the law or buying janky ass drugs on the darknet which does nothing but cheapen the ideals of liberty for some false virtual mental dopamine hit of being an edgelord
cypherpunks are libertarians and believe in free markets and understand that autonomous systems that can't be messed with are the only way to achieve thisthe commercial and casino classes of crypto have had all the recent spotlight
but crypto without the cypherpunks is not crypto
I believe most of this has been a messaging, education, and storytelling problem
we are going to fix this and we are going to make crypto cypherpunk again
you are already seeing the ideals live within systems like zcash, but soon it will enflame everywhere

这种分类不仅仅是整理思路的好方法;它也是一种提醒——在承认现实的同时不忘加密的根源。
什么是商业加密?
商业加密关注的是实用性以及与传统金融世界的整合。想象一下在区块链上代币化的 real-world assets(RWAs)、像 USDT 或 USDC 这样的稳定币,以及涉足此道的大型机构。这里的目标是提高效率:更快的支付、更快的结算、更好的可组合性,以及让货币拥有一个通用的 API。
但正如 Mert 所指出的,这也带来了权衡。虽然有利于被采用,但往往绕开了催生加密的去中心化理想。比如,大多数稳定币都有发行方控制的冻结功能,许多链依赖单一 sequencer,可能对交易进行审查。就像修建了一条超级高速公路,却留了随时可关闭的收费站。
在 meme 代币领域,商业加密可能表现为由真实资产支持的代币化 meme,或被整合进用于借贷的 DeFi 协议。这是 meme 的“成熟”一面,把趣味和金融结合在一起。
赌场加密的刺激
然后是 Mert 所说的赌场加密,主要由投机驱动,常常游走在监管灰色地带。这里是大多数热闹发生的地方——高波动代币、拉盘甩卖(pump-and-dump),以及更多依赖炒作而非实用性的项目。meme 代币恰好属于这一类:像 Dogecoin 或那些在 Solana 上因病毒式传播和社区狂热而飙升的新代币。
Mert 并不在评判;他只是观察到主要动机往往是盈利。说实话,只要不伤害他人,这没问题。对于区块链从业者来说,这一类提供了关于市场动态、社区建设和叙事力量的教训。但它像赌场一样波动:刺激,但你可能两手空空离场。

振兴 cypherpunk 加密
Mert 信息的核心是 cypherpunk 类——那些受 Satoshi Nakamoto 启发的原创加密斗士。Cypherpunks 用技术争取自由:像 Zcash 这样的隐私币、抵抗审查的去中心化系统,以及赋能个体对抗过度干预的工具。
可惜的是,这一类正在衰退,被光鲜的商业与赌场面所掩盖。Mert 认为这是讲述、教育和叙事的问题,他说得对。Cypherpunks 并不是在鼓吹违法;他们是在构建无法被操控的系统,以实现自由市场与个人自由。把他们与那些只为在暗网买劣质毒品或搏取所谓“锋利感”的人混为一谈,只会贬损自由的理想。
对 meme 代币而言,注入 cypherpunk 理念可能意味着隐私增强型 meme,或无法被关闭的去中心化启动平台。像 Zcash 这样的项目已经在引领这条路,而 Mert 所喊的“让加密再次变得 cypherpunk”是对行业的号召。
这对 meme 代币及更广泛领域为何重要
Mert 的框架不仅是学术上的划分;它是未来的路线图。商业加密带来合法性,赌场加密带来活力,而 cypherpunk 加密确保区块链的灵魂不灭。或许,正如有人所言,这三者相互依存——投机资助创新,创新催生商业应用,反过来又推动更多 cypherpunk 方向的进步。
如果你在 meme 代币的游戏里,问问自己:你喜欢的项目更偏赌场,还是有 cypherpunk 的根基?在 Meme Insider,我们致力于覆盖这些角度,帮助你在跟踪最新趋势的同时,建立扎实的知识库。
