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.
问题是， 加密行业如何重建信任？ 我的观点是，隐私在这个答案中发挥着重要作用。
Privacy – Not a Secret Society
人们可能会对“隐私”这个词犹豫不决，但我并不提倡使用工具，使犯罪分子能够掩盖其资金来源，以洗钱数十亿美元，为大规模杀伤性武器提供资金。不，不幸的是，这仍然是法定货币的领域。我想说的是，如果我们都能看到机构资产负债表的所有细节，或者如果他们只是购买了 1000 万美元的狗狗币，我们就不会让机构采用加密货币。这就是隐私和秘密之间的区别。
隐私保护个人信息免受第三方威胁，而保密则出于非安全原因而回避合理的透明度。通过倡导隐私，我们不仅可以更好地保护用户数据，还可以培育有利于监管监督的生态系统，从而真正实现大规模采用。拥抱这一基本思维方式将重建信任、巩固行业，并确保其面对外部压力和内部分歧时的弹性。
这不仅仅是钱的问题
隐私不仅适用于我们的财务，也适用于其他数据。在我们生活的时代，同意是我们文化各个方面的首要关注点，除了我们的个人数据。监视资本主义现在是我们共同的全球经济的基石之一，而大多数人的行为就好像他们没有意识到这个钩子有多深。
现在每个人都知道，最有争议的金融实践之一是根深蒂固于我们现代生活的概念。 信用评分。金融机构使用专有算法来评估信用度，从而导致基于个人数据的分析和歧视。这会影响贷款审批、利率，甚至在某些情况下影响找到工作的能力。最糟糕的是，我们所有人都必须参与其中，没有办法选择退出。没有信用记录通常被认为比信用不良更糟糕。以这种方式对隐私的侵蚀说明了如何在未经充分同意的情况下收集、存储和使用个人信息，通常是为了盈利、控制或社会工程目的。
必须建立保护个人隐私权的法规和道德框架，同时仍然允许技术进步和商业创新，而不能利用某些基本人权。这是通过有针对性的透明度来实现的，这是通过具有一定护栏和用户控制保护的区块链技术实现的。
透明度/隐私难题
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.
随着更大的机构关注这一领域，该行业对透明度的承诺无意中变成了一种负担。由于区块链上的一举一动都可见，竞争对手可以密切监视彼此，使竞争环境变得焦虑、混乱。对于那些习惯了 TradFi 系统的人来说，这完全背离了常态，并且增加了一层恐惧，阻止了他们的参与。
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.
隐私让 DeFi 可供大众使用
关注隐私作为解决方案将弥合 TradFi 和 DeFi 之间的差距。隐私是让机构投资者和日常用户能够安全进行交易的关键，而无需出示“所有卡”，避免将自己及其公司置于金融盗窃目标的风险之中。
隐私措施的采用为机构级用户从大型中心化参与者中分支出来打开了大门。这些拥有大量资源和监管义务的实体现在可以参与真正的 DeFi，而不会影响其对数据安全和保密性的要求。
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.
务实的前进之路
在新的一年即将到来之际，让我们记住，区块链技术的核心精神与隐私并不矛盾。相反，如果处理得当，隐私是行业对个人自由、数据安全和透明度承诺的自然演变。隐私措施并不是为了掩盖不当行为，而是为了保护个人和机构免受困扰加密行业的不必要风险。通过倡导隐私作为一种统一的力量和基本人权，我们确保开放和去中心化的基本原则继续指导行业的发展轨迹，并帮助我们的解决方案更容易为更广泛的个人和机构受众所使用。

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…
