The crypto industry stands at a crossroads. Following a challenging year marked by internal struggles, many within our industry are grappling with disillusionment or a sense of uncertainty. Instances of deceitful practices, the negative attributes of certain cultural trends, and internal conflicts have significantly damaged trust and credibility not only in the mainstream public’s eyes, but also internally.
The media often focuses on scams and fraud, overshadowing the true potential of the innovative technology we are building. This has turned the industry into a target for skepticism and ridicule, despite its initial goal of improving financial systems and the Internet for everyone. We’re navigating an existential crisis, which has made potential newcomers—builders, users, and investors— more hesitant to engage with the industry.
問題是， 加密產業如何重建信任？ 我的觀點是，隱私在這個答案中扮演重要角色。
Privacy – Not a Secret Society
人們可能會對「隱私」這個詞猶豫不決，但我並不提倡使用工具，使犯罪分子能夠掩蓋其資金來源，以洗錢數十億美元，為大規模殺傷性武器提供資金。不，不幸的是，這仍然是法定貨幣的領域。我想說的是，如果我們都能看到機構資產負債表的所有細節，或者如果他們只是購買了 1000 萬美元的狗狗幣，我們就不會讓機構採用加密貨幣。這就是隱私和秘密之間的區別。
隱私權保護個人資訊免受第三方威脅，而保密則出於非安全原因而迴避合理的透明度。透過倡導隱私，我們不僅可以更好地保護用戶數據，還可以培育有利於監管監督的生態系統，從而真正實現大規模採用。擁抱這種基本思維方式將重建信任、鞏固產業，並確保其面對外部壓力和內部分歧時的彈性。
這不只是錢的問題
隱私權不僅適用於我們的財務，也適用於其他資料。在我們生活的時代，同意是我們文化各個方面的首要關注點，除了我們的個人資料。監視資本主義現在是我們共同的全球經濟的基石之一，而大多數人的行為就好像他們沒有意識到這個鉤子有多深。
現在每個人都知道，最具爭議的金融實踐之一是根深蒂固於我們現代生活的概念。 信用評分。金融機構使用專有演算法來評估信用度，從而導致基於個人資料的分析和歧視。這會影響貸款審批、利率，甚至在某些情況下影響找到工作的能力。最糟糕的是，我們所有人都必須參與其中，沒有辦法選擇退出。沒有信用記錄通常被認為比信用不良更糟。以這種方式對隱私的侵蝕說明瞭如何在未經充分同意的情況下收集、存儲和使用個人信息，通常是為了盈利、控製或社會工程目的。
必須建立保護個人隱私權的法規和道德框架，同時仍允許技術進步和商業創新，而不能利用某些基本人權。這是透過有針對性的透明度來實現的，這是透過具有一定護欄和用戶控制保護的區塊鏈技術來實現的。
透明度/隱私難題
For many years, the crypto industry has prided itself on its commitment to transparency and open-source principles. Modeled after the radical invention of Bitcoin, the ethos was to make everything transparent, immutable, self-sovereign, and most important of all—accessible. This was revolutionary, allowing even hobbyists and amateurs to wield the same powerful tools as institutional players.
It was a thrilling notion—a financial ecosystem where information was freely available, and anyone was welcome to engage with the market on equal terms. This radical transparency had its advantages, especially for the grassroots enthusiasts who flocked to crypto early on. Yet soon, the downside of this transparency became evident.
隨著更大的機構關注這一領域，該行業對透明度的承諾無意中變成了一種負擔。由於區塊鏈上的一舉一動都可見，競爭對手可以密切監視彼此，使競爭環境變得焦慮、混亂。對於那些習慣了 TradFi 系統的人來說，這完全背離了常態，並且增加了一層恐懼，阻止了他們的參與。
Centralized custodial services, such as those provided by Coinbase, emerged as a compromise. These entities, while more approachable to traditional finance, contradicted the narrative of self-custody intrinsic to crypto. Thus, institutional adoption became increasingly challenged by many of the born and bred ‘crypto purists’ and was mostly despised because they saw these entities as diametrically opposed to the ethos of decentralization and personal control.
Yet, it is crucial to acknowledge the merits of custodial solutions as they offer a user experience vastly superior to most DeFi protocols. For institutions familiar with Web2, these custodial solutions are the height of accessibility and user-friendly UX. You can’t bank the unbanked if they don’t understand how to engage with your system.
隱私讓 DeFi 可供大眾使用
關注隱私作為解決方案將彌合 TradFi 和 DeFi 之間的差距。隱私是讓機構投資者和日常用戶能夠安全進行交易的關鍵，而無需出示“所有卡”，避免將自己及其公司置於金融盜竊目標的風險之中。
隱私措施的採用為機構級用戶從大型中心化參與者中分支出來打開了大門。這些擁有大量資源和監管義務的實體現在可以參與真正的 DeFi，而不會影響其對資料安全和保密的要求。
Advanced privacy tools, such as applications powered by zero-knowledge proofs, can also enhance compliance by only revealing what absolutely needs to be known to meet regulatory requirements. This safeguards individuals’ financial data from surveillance while also keeping the industry free of bad actors.
務實的前進之路
在新的一年即將到來之際，讓我們記住，區塊鏈技術的核心精神與隱私並不矛盾。相反，如果處理得當，隱私是業界對個人自由、資料安全和透明度承諾的自然演變。隱私措施並不是為了掩蓋不當行為，而是為了保護個人和機構免受困擾加密產業的不必要風險。透過倡導隱私作為一種統一的力量和基本人權，我們確保開放和去中心化的基本原則繼續指導行業的發展軌跡，並幫助我們的解決方案更容易為更廣泛的個人和機構受眾所使用。

The current positioning of Cardano (ADA) in the market suggests it is at a pivotal juncture. Having concluded its corrective phase and now facing a crucial trend line resistance. The central question is whether ADA is on the verge of a bullish breakout. Cardano previously attempted to surpass this trend line resistance last month but was unsuccessful. It’s important to monitor its current market behavior to determine if it can achieve a bullish breakout this time. The ability of ADA to break through this resistance level would signal a significant shift in its market trajectory and potentially indicate a new bullish trend. Cardano Confronts Critical Trend Line Resistance The current trend in Cardano’s price suggests a continuation of its upward trajectory this month. Presently, Cardano is encountering resistance at a…
