預先捕捉市場：查爾斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）試圖利用數字資產峰會冷凍

三月份，有十幾位頂級加密高管漫步到白宮州餐廳，參加了數字資產峰會，一位創始人被排除在外。

As more than a dozen top crypto executives strolled into the White House State Dining Room in March for the digital assets summit, one founder was left out.

三月份，有十幾位頂級加密高管漫步到白宮州餐廳，參加了數字資產峰會，一位創始人被排除在外。

Charles Hoskinson, the mercurial polymath who co-founded Ethereum and then Cardano, was nowhere to be seen, which was odd. The White House, after all, had just floated the idea of including Cardano’s token in a crypto strategic reserve.

查爾斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）是共同創立以太坊和卡爾達諾（Cardano）的墨西里多症（Mercurial Polymath），這是奇怪的。畢竟，白宮剛剛提出了將Cardano代幣納入加密戰略儲備中的想法。

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, Strategy Executive Chairman Michael Saylor, and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, among others, did receive invitations to the round table session.

Coinbase首席執行官Brian Armstrong，戰略執行董事長Michael Saylor和Ripple首席執行官Brad Garlinghouse等人確實收到了圓桌會議的邀請。

They met with President Donald Trump and his top crypto advisers, David Sacks and Bo Hines, plus Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

他們會見了唐納德·特朗普（Donald Trump）總統和他的頂級加密顧問，大衛·薩克斯（David Sacks）和博恩斯（Bo Hines），以及財政部長斯科特·貝斯特（Scott Bessent）。

Hoskinson shrugged off the snub.

霍斯金森聳了聳肩。

”A lot of people want to get close to David Sacks and Bo Hines and build relationships there,” Hoskinson told DL News in his hotel suite on the sidelines of Paris Blockchain Week.

霍斯金森（Hoskinson）在巴黎區塊鏈週的旁觀者的酒店套房中對DL新聞說：“很多人都想接近大衛·薩克斯（David Sacks）和博恩斯（Bo Hines）並在那裡建立關係。”

“That’s the flavour of the week. It’s nice for optics, but it doesn’t translate into sustainable, permanent policy.”

“這是本週的味道。這對光學很不錯，但它並沒有轉化為可持續的永久政策。”

Still, didn’t the billionaire blockchain builder relish the idea of some face time with Trump?

儘管如此，億萬富翁區塊鏈建造者並沒有喜歡與特朗普的一段時間的想法嗎？

“I don’t need to make a deal with Trump,” Hoskinson, 37, said.

37歲的霍斯金森說：“我不需要與特朗普達成協議。”

Offbeat pursuits

另類追求

Such a stand may come off as mere bravado in other crypto billionaires. But Hoskinson has long cut a path as an industry maverick who’s as generous with his opinions as he is with his investments.

在其他加密億萬富翁中，這樣的立場可能僅僅是Bravado。但是，霍斯金森長期以來一直是一個行業小牛的道路，他對自己的意見和投資一樣慷慨。

Wearing a white button-down shirt and coffee brown khakis on a spring afternoon, Hoskinson looked more like a middle manager on a casual Friday than the keyboard warrior who was one of the founders of Ethereum.

霍斯金森在一個春天的下午穿著白色的鈕扣襯衫和咖啡棕色的卡其布，在周五休閒的中間經理看起來比以太坊的創始人之一的鍵盤戰士更像是一名中間經理。

For all the respect he’s garnered for his pioneering role in decentralised finance, he’s also drawn raised eyebrows for his offbeat pursuits.

儘管他因在分散的金融中發揮著優先的角色而獲得了興奮的作用，但他也因其另類的追求而引起了眉毛。

He has touted the cultivation of glow-in-the-dark cannabis, injected himself with stem cells, and made music videos on his Wyoming ranch with Snoop Dogg, the crypto-loving hip hop icon.

他吹捧著漆黑的大麻的培養，注入了乾細胞，並與他的懷俄明州牧場一起製作了音樂錄影帶，與史努比·杜格（Snoop Dogg）（喜歡加密貨幣的嘻哈圖標）。

In an exclusive interview with DL News he unpacked his latest pursuit — politics.

在對DL新聞的獨家採訪中，他打開了他的最新追求 - 政治。

DeFi diplomat

defi外交官

Or more precisely, promoting blockchain technology — ie, Cardano — to lawmakers, regulators, and even the occasional head of state as a useful tool for government services.

或更確切地說，向立法者，監管機構，甚至偶爾的國家元首推廣區塊鏈技術（即Cardano），作為政府服務的有用工具。

To that end, Hoskinson has become a kind of DeFi diplomat winging around the world to offer his insight on forming, as he puts it, sustainable, permanent policy for blockchain technology.

為此，霍斯金森（Hoskinson）已成為世界各地的一種辯護外交官，以提供他對區塊鏈技術的可持續永久性政策形成的見解。

In Washington, he said he’s gotten close to Senator Tim Scott, the influential chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, who is shepherding the landmark stablecoin bill through Congress.

在華盛頓，他說，他已經接近參議院銀行委員會有影響力的主席蒂姆·斯科特（Tim Scott），他正在通過國會通過國會來邀請地標穩定法案。

In Japan, Hoskinson discussed technology and AI with Takuya Hirai, a member of the Diet, the nation’s legislature, and former minister of digital transformation.

在日本，霍斯金森（Hoskinson）與飲食，國家立法機關，前數字化轉型部長的成員Takuy​​a Hirai討論了技術和AI。

And in Argentina, Hoskinson met with associates of Javier Milei, the pro-crypto president who got into hot water for endorsing a memecoin that quickly collapsed in a whopping $4.5 billion scandal.

在阿根廷，霍斯金森會見了親克萊托普（Crypto）總統哈維爾·麥利（Javier Milei）的同事，他陷入了熱水，以認可一份迅速崩潰的成員45億美元的醜聞。

‘We told all the Ethereum people years ago that the model made no sense.’

“幾年前，我們告訴所有以太坊人們都沒有意義。”

After a photograph of Hoskinson and Milei began circulating on X, Hoskinson explained on his YouTube channel that he had nothing to do with the memecoin launch.

霍斯金森在YouTube頻道上解釋說，Hoskinson和Milei的照片開始在X上流通後，他與Memecoin發射無關。

Hoskinson isn’t just evangelising for decentralised finance. Input Output, the development company backing the Cardano network, operates in several nations.

霍斯金森不僅為分散財務傳福音。輸入輸出，支持Cardano網絡的開發公司在幾個國家運營。

And Hoskinson, like many of his peers, would love it if crypto laws and regulations were consistent from one jurisdiction to the next.

像他的許多同齡人一樣，霍斯金森會喜歡加密法規，從一個管轄權到下一個司法管轄區保持一致。

However, critics of the Cardano founder are sure to be sceptical of his proposition.

但是，Cardano創始人的批評者肯定會對他的主張持懷疑態度。

Cardano is worth almost $22 billion and a top 10 cryptocurrency. But the blockchain has its issues.

Cardano的價值將近220億美元，並且是十大加密貨幣。但是區塊鏈有其問題。

For starters, it’s been slow to develop, say critics. Cardano didn’t roll out smart contracts, the core offering on DeFi networks, until four years after the venture began in 2017. Haskell, Cardano’s programming language, is also notoriously challenging for developers to learn.

評論家說，對於初學者來說，發展很慢。 Cardano並沒有推出智能合約，這是Defi Networks上的核心產品，直到2017年企業開始後的四年。卡爾達諾的編程語言Haskell也對開發人員學習而言也是挑戰。

Meanwhile, DeFi applications on other blockchains have ballooned.

同時，其他區塊鏈上的Defi應用也散發出來。

A mistake

一個錯誤

Ethereum hosts more than $46 billion across over 1,000 DeFi apps, according to DefiLlama. Solana has $7 billion sloshing between hundreds of apps. Cardano only has $287 million over 39 apps.

根據Defillama的數據，以太坊在1,000多個Defi應用程序中擁有超過460億美元的資金。索拉納（Solana）在數百個應用程序之間有70億美元的晃動。 Cardano在39個應用程序中只有2.87億美元。

As a result, Cardano has failed to generate the same level of respect as other blockchain networks.

結果，Cardano未能產生與其他區塊鍊網絡相同的尊重水平。

In March, for instance, World Mobile, a decentralised telecoms company, announced it was expanding beyond Cardano and switching

例如，3月份，一家分散的電信公司World Mobile宣布它正在擴展到Cardano和Schowning
