- 引领下个时代的加密投资模型：《瘦协议，胖用户》
我非常赞同红杉沈南鹏师兄在某次内部演讲的时候说过一句话。
他说，我们想要做好投资，就必须调动我们用所有认知所建立逻辑思维，去推演一个行业未来5~10年的发展趋势。
尽管这个推演不会完美无瑕，但足够我们比别人提前一步，甚至是半步去布局，以获得更高的回报率。
过去互联网在改变世界的过程中，游戏规则的变化造成了商业模式和财富分配的颠覆。比如极强的垄断效应造就了各种占据大部分行业市场的巨头，并因此出现过去未曾有过的高估值和高市值。
那在投资这种标的的时候，自然就能获得超乎想象力的回报。同样的，在加密行业中，随着行业的发展所带来的游戏规则改变，或者商业模式的改变，投资的趋势又会随之改变。
在未来我们是否能获得超过想象力的投资回报率，最为关键的就是如何去发现这样趋势，并且引领这样的趋势。
在DeFi引爆市场的时候，我就曾经写过一篇关于加密行业趋势变化的文章，并将未来的投资趋势定义为“瘦协议，胖用户”。那么在NFT市场的爆发，乃至LSD板块的爆发，都验证了这种趋势的改变。
重新再写这篇文章，一个是因为旧文遗失，另一个就是再次经历周期以后，自己也有些新的想法来补充。
**引领上个加密时代投资模型的《胖协议》**
Joel Monegro在2016年写过一篇影响业界投资数年之久的文章《胖协议》。Joel以区块链和互联网对比，在互联网时代，共享协议（比如TCP/IP、HTTP、SMTP）是有巨大价值的。
但这样的价值最终都沉淀到大部分的应用程序，比如谷歌、Facebook等等。所以在互联网时代，整个投资趋势，就是倾向投资那些能够垄断市场的2C应用程序。
Joel认为在区块链中，这样的投资逻辑产生了颠覆。区块链因为通证（代币）的存在，就能够在协议层级别捕获价值，他所举出的例子是当时10B市值的比特币，而建立在比特币之上的公司却只有几亿美元。
这就是所谓的“胖协议，瘦应用”。
这套投资逻辑是此后公链层出不穷最为关键的投资趋势参照。因为在这个投资逻辑支撑下，区块链未来的核心价值（财富）就会沉淀在公链，而非一个个DAPPS上。
很多机构确实因此大获成功。通过《胖协议》以及衍生的投资理论，A16Z、USV、Pantera这些顶级基金拉开了和全球Crypto投资者的认知差距，并且在过去的5年内已经得到了市场的验证。
但是，**在胖协议成为常识性理论为大多数人所知悉时，这种投资决策体系是否仍旧是一成不变的正确，亦或是出现了不为人知的变化？**
**互联网时代的“瘦协议，胖应用”**
胖协议一定会出现变化的，或者他本身就是一个阶段性的投资趋势。为什么？因为价值在于应用。
确实，不管是互联网的共享协议，还是区块链的共享协议，确实具有非常大的价值。但这个价值在于哪里？如果不能转化成推进社会进步，或者改善生活，那么他的价值就是0。
这里面完整的投资闭环是这样的：
某种技术所带来的市场前景打动了资本，资本开始做出风险投资；
各种概念被提出来，想象力进一步扩大，开始出现过热性投资；
技术进入应用阶段接受市场的检验，热度消退，金融泡沫破裂；
技术在应用层面上获得成功，再次引发资本对应用层的过热性投资。
因此，我们可以看到互联网的共享协议最终提供价值的方式，就是支撑起上面一个个可以服务用户的应用程序，因为这些应用程序才是真正的“杀手锏”，时代的颠覆、财富的再分配，也是始于这些应用程序。
同样的，互联网时代在技术没有落地之前的投资逻辑，一样的是“胖协议，瘦应用”；在2000年泡沫破裂之后，互联网开始融入并改善诸位生活以后，胖协议就变成了“瘦协议，胖应用”
**引领下个加密时代投资模型的《瘦协议，胖用户》**
那么，造成区块链从16年至今的胖协议趋势，就是因为用户数、技术诸多基础建设没有做好，导致整个区块链只存在“杀手级协议”，并没有出现“杀手级应用”。
去年11月8日在新加坡科技节上，Vitailk就直截了当得说：“以太坊没有杀手级应用程序，它有一个杀手级生态系统”。
**按照互联网WEB2的历史进程，一旦在以太坊上出现了真正的杀手级别的应用，积累在“协议概念”上的叙述价值，就会被2C的应用所实现，并逐步演化成“平台生态”，跨链在以太坊和各种特性公链上，“胖协议”效应戛然而止，垄断型平台应用开始吞噬整个Crpyto世界。**
但如果仅仅是这样，web3.0、元宇宙乃至区块链就完全没有投资，甚至是存在意义了-----要知道，Crpyto真正值得投资的原因就是它能颠覆现在的体系，进而在新的财富分配中获得超额的收益，**如果它并不能解决web2.0存在问题，只会沦为资本新的玩物。**
web2.0的问题是什么？平台数据垄断后，利用算法构建的交易陷阱，也就是所谓的"大数据杀熟"。
举个例子，网约车平台如果跟OA SaaS交互数据，知道你再迟到一次就会被开除，于是特殊情况下，只给你提供最贵的打车服务，并且还要加价-----你怕不怕？
此外，垄断型平台应用存在的意义，本质上是需要消除买卖双方的信息不对称，从而达成“公平交易”，降低交易成本。
一旦这种“双边平台”形成了垄断局面，它就会从“撮合交易”的“中介”，变成“中间商”，吃了原告还要吃被告，成了三方（买方、卖方、中介）里最赚钱的一方。
事实数据也是如此：2018年全球上市公司市值前十有8个平台型企业；19年最赚钱的TOP也有8个平台企业。并且18年中国最赚钱的10家上市公司，其利润是前500强的40%-------**这十家企业的其中八家同样是垄断级平台应用。**
因此，在web3.0时代，大家一直强调的就是把数据还给用户，打破平台经济的垄断。
**但我认为，这样的设想是不成立的。**
首先，平台带来的聚合交易确实是极大的提升了交易效率，我们否认的并不是平台这样的产物，而是平台垄断数据后利用算法作恶、鸠占鹊巢的攫取了三方中最大的利益。
其次，不是所有的数据都是有效的。对于大部分用户而言，寻求的只是更舒适的生活，并不会在乎一些不重要数据的泄露--------说白了就是大部分数据是不值钱的。
另外，正如刘毅在万向区块链的一次演讲中所提到的：
“集中存放的偏好大数据是宝库。而分割存储的数据，很难被数据挖掘、人工智能利用，相当于摧毁了它的价值。以分配不公平为由摧毁价值，不是进步是倒退，如同工业革命早期毁坏机器的卢德运动。”
基于此，区块链带来的WEB3.0时代，就是需要保留平台带来的大数据优势，将中心化攫取的“超额财富”归还给买卖双方（用户）；并且通过DAO将治理权利交给社区用户，刨了平台从中介向中间商演变的根。
我认为，这才是区块链带来的WEB3.0：“瘦协议”和“胖用户”。
通过DAO对平台的利益分配、发展路线做出最符合大多用户里的预期，并以此获得平台带来的效率提升、防止“赢家通吃”后的垄断。
并且随着社交、游戏等高频次链上活动的兴起和推动DAO的发展后，这样的趋势会越来越明显。
我认为未来2~3年，WEB3.0会改变区块链的游戏规则，即“胖协议，瘦应用”向“瘦协议，胖用户”的过度。
现在，我们看到的Cosmos生态，Arbiturm生态，乃至Cruve生态，都已经出现了这样的趋势。从DeFi的流动性挖矿，到项目的代币空投，再到近期的LSD质押收益，都或多或少的在慢慢验证“瘦协议，胖用户”这样的投资理论。
**未来必然会诞生更多与胖协议模型不一样的公司和不一样的投资决策。**
**值得一提的是，高瓴的张磊说唯一不变的，就是一切事物都在不断变化。**在更远的未来，Crpyto行业也会因为他的发展再一次改变游戏规则，一如“胖协议”被“瘦平台”取代一般。
但这又有什么关系呢？本就是意料之中的事情，拉开一次投资的认知差距，就足以实现财富自由。
秋风未动蝉先觉，说到底，投资就是综合认知的变现。
- 🧪 Regenerative CryptoEconomics — Day 2
Taking the Green Pill
======================================
✨PS: We're looking for funding via Gitcoin✨:
https://gitcoin.co/grants/7159/teaparty
======================================
What is this "Green Pill" about?
It is about the choice for choosing to coordinate and believe in Regenerative CryptoEconomics by @owocki.lens
Famously quoted by @owocki.lens : "All coordination is a choice. No outcome is preordained. We must coordinate to leverage our gifts + capitalize on this opportunity for the benefit of humanity at large."
It may be hard to follow at this point, as many about coordinate this and that.
So what is all this coordination about? Let's start with coordination failure, just like what @ameensol is saying about Slaying Moloch👹.
Our real enemy is the grey pill = coordination failures.
Coordination failures are what caused for example "Climate change" and "underfunded & insecure digital infrastructure".
Coordination failure occurs when a group of humans could achieve a desirable outcome by working together, but fail to do so because they don't cooperate.
Our real solution of choice for coordination: "Web3".
Web3 is a global immutable (incorruptible), transparent, programmable mechanism for human resource allocation.
Web3 is a schelling point for the hopeful, we have gathered in the Web3 movement to build a better world.
Into the Quadratic Lands.
The Quadratic Lands is a mythical place where we've rewritten the laws of economics to support pulic goods, provent coordination failures and create human thriving.
Thanks for reading this far!
Recently, we need help to raise funding for our project to keep it operational up and running. Your funding would greatly help us to promote social public goods via our Gitcoin grant below:

\
**What is Mad Finance?**\
@madfinance.lens is the ad protocol for web3 social! 💸 \
What does this really mean? 🤔 Let us walk you through it.\
\
First, we need to understand that, today, how Twitter and Facebook are free for all of us to use because the feed space is already being paid for by advertisers. But there is a little catch here, the biggest asset to these social media is actually the USERS! 🤯\
\
Why? Because imagine if no users use Facebook and Twitter, there will be no advertisers willing to place their ads on their platforms. But because they're operated in Web2, these social media control how the profits are generated and everything is going into their pocket. 😭\
\
Thus, similar to us, together with @madfinance.lens, we're committed to change this. Instead of giving all the profits generated from users to these big social media, we're connecting the profits back to users!\
\
In @madfinance.lens, they are building a suite of products in the form of Lens modules, tools for campaign creation + distribution, and payouts via Superfluid money streams. This is real innovation! 🤯\
\
If any of you are brands and creators, do join them today! \

\
**How** [**Clipto**](https://twitter.com/CliptoDAO) **is born?** \
When popular crypto Twitter star [@](https://twitter.com/gabrielhaines)gabriel.lens's application to Cameo got rejected, this motivated Gabriel to start Clipto which does not discriminate against creators and will be done in a decentralized trustless manner. 🤯\
\
**Engage to Earn**\
When creating clipto from writing/curating script, select the best creator to deliver, and ultimately performed by the creator. This promotes E2E rewards for both users and creators who have created the most engaging pieces of content in Clipto! 🤯\

- **Rooting in Web3 — day 4 Introducing Lenstube 🎥**\
\
**What is Lenstube?** \
Lenstube is a decentralized video-sharing social media platform, built with @LensProtocol 🌿. \
What is that really mean? 🤔 \
Let me walk you through it!\
\
In Web3, it is all about decentralized this and decentralized that. So in this context, what it really means is that a video being decentralized is being uploaded to "IPFS".
\
**What is IPFS?**\
"IPFS" or InterPlanetary File System is a protocol and P2P network for storing and sharing data in the distributed file system. This allows the same content could be retrieved from anywhere! In simple meaning, every video uploaded to [Lenstube](https://twitter.com/lenstubexyz) is going permanently forever! 🤯\
\
**What Lenstube is solving?**\
One practical major problem Lenstube is solving is a situation that happened to @lofigirl. Just recently, a video by @lofigirl has been "mistakenly" taken down due to "false copyright strikes" by Youtube.\
\
**Be responsible for uploading video to IPFS**\
Well... you might be thinking it is useful and might be quite alarming at the same time. We understand... It is always been a similar situation when a new technology is invented, someone could abuse it or either use it for good.\
\
In order to build an open world, we all have our parts to play and responsibility to ensure good. I'm pretty sure Lenstube already has this regulation in place and continues to improve. In decentralization, no one can't take down what you uploaded, so please be responsible!
