Tezos（XTZ）聯合創始人Arthur Breitman解釋了他為什麼要像徵鈾

歡迎來到Slate Sundays，Cryptoslate的新每週專輯展示深入的訪談，專家分析和發人深省的專家

The last time I interviewed Tezos co-founder Arthur Breitman was at the Paris Blockchain Week Summit in 2019. It coincided with the fire of Notre Dame, and I can still hear the gasps of a dumbstruck crowd gathered opposite the cathedral as the angry orange flames engulfed the spire of “Our Lady of Paris,” and the thick black smoke billowed into the evening sky.

Despite the historic tragedy at the medieval cathedral, the energy at the conference was high. It was still early days when most ideas outpaced the technology, and there was a gulf between engineering and marketing.

儘管在中世紀大教堂發生了歷史性的悲劇，但會議的能量很高。在早期，大多數想法都超過了技術，並且工程和營銷之間存在著鴻溝。

DeFi wasn’t a thing yet. Decentralized exchanges were scoffed at for their lack of speed and wafer-thin liquidity, and IDEX dominated the charts with a monthly volume of 400K ETH, trading for the knockdown price of $150 a coin.

Defi還不是什麼。由於缺乏速度和薄薄的流動性，分散的交易所被嘲笑，IDEX以每月400k ETH的數量在圖表中佔據了主導地位，其敲低價格的交易價格為每幣150美元。

Privacy coins hadn’t been persecuted. You could on and off-ramp crypto without KYC, and John McAfee was still on a boat in the Bahamas, defiantly evading the IRS.

隱私硬幣尚未受到迫害。如果沒有KYC，您就可以在斜坡上加密，約翰·麥卡菲（John McAfee）仍在巴哈馬船上的船上，挑釁地逃避了國稅局。

Most projects were replications of web2 apps attached to a blockchain that could have functioned perfectly well without it.

大多數項目都是附加在區塊鏈上的Web2應用程序的複制，而沒有它，它們可能會很好地運作。

You get the idea: a flashy website, a fancy whitepaper, and an opportunistic leader who would likely end up in a battle with the SEC.

您會得到這個想法：一個浮華的網站，一個花哨的白皮書和一個機會主義的領導者，他們可能最終與SEC鬥爭。

Even in the depths of the bear, these events still drew a decent-sized crowd, discussing blockchain scalability, the path to mass adoption, winning the hearts and minds of traditional financial institutions, and when to expect a clear regulatory framework for crypto… Some things never change. Others feel like a lifetime ago.

即使在熊的深處，這些事件仍然吸引了一個體面的人群，討論區塊鏈的可伸縮性，大眾採用的道路，贏得傳統金融機構的心靈，以及何時期望Crypto的明確監管框架……有些事情從未改變。其他人覺得自己像個一輩子。

The event was opened by Bruno Le Maire, the French Minister for the Economy, keen to sing the virtues of the country’s newly released PACTE law for digital assets, and emphasize the seriousness of France’s blockchain bet. In a bizarrely stark contrast, it was MCed by Bad Crypto, a crass American podcast duo whose frat boy humor and misplaced jokes about the French went down as well as you might imagine.

該活動由法國經濟部長佈魯諾·勒·梅爾（Bruno Le Maire）開幕，熱衷於唱著該國新發布的數字資產法律法律的美德，並強調了法國區塊鏈押注的嚴重性。在一個奇怪的對比中，它是由Bad Crypto（一個Crass American Podcast Duo）割傷的，他的兄弟會男孩的幽默和放錯了關於法國人的笑話，就像您可能想像的那樣。

Six years ago, crypto was the frontier, and anything was possible. At a time when the battle of the Layer 1s was intensifying, Tezos, the self-amending blockchain launched in response to Bitcoin’s lack of innovation and programmability, was a contender as an “Ethereum killer.”

六年前，加密貨幣是邊境，一切皆有可能。在第1層的戰鬥加劇的時候，由於比特幣缺乏創新和可編程性而發起的自我塑造區塊鍊是“以太坊殺手”的競爭者。

Fast-forward to 2025, and Tezos has a new aspiration: conquering the RWA sector by tokenizing uranium. And Notre Dame has a new spire.

快進到2025年，Tezos有一個新的願望：通過鈾元素征服RWA部門。巴黎圣母院有一個新的尖頂。

Tezos, the blockchain designed to evolve

Tezos，設計用於進化的區塊鏈

As the “blockchain designed to evolve,” Tezos has moved with the narratives, from money to DeFi, NFTs to memes, and RWAs. It has avoided the dumpster fire of fallen cryptos thanks to its “adaptability,” “resilience as a value,” and “prudent management” of its significant treasury (Tezos raised $232 million in Bitcoin in 2017).

作為“旨在發展的區塊鏈”，Tezos隨著敘述從金錢到Defi，NFTS到Memes和RWAS的敘述。由於其“適應性”，“彈性作為價值”和“審慎的管理”（Tezos在2017年籌集了2.32億美元的比特幣）。

Exchanging greetings today, Arthur Breitman is candid and relaxed. He’s lost some of the bravado of 2019 and speaks with the humility of a man who’s weathered crypto’s turbulent cycles. I remind him that we’ve met before, and even though I doubt he remembers, he nods kindly and smiles as I recall his ambitions for Tezos to be the most widely used blockchain and his predictions of a consolidation of the space.

今天交換問候，亞瑟·布雷特曼（Arthur Breitman）坦率而放鬆。他失去了2019年的一些Bravado，並以一個風化了加密貨幣動蕩的週期的男人的謙卑。我提醒他，我們以前見過面，即使我懷疑他還記得他，他也點點頭，微笑著，因為我回想起他對Tezos的野心是最廣泛使用的區塊鏈，並且對空間鞏固的預測。

“I had a few theses that were wrong,” he says. “One thesis was that at some point, people were going to be tired of buying new coins, because they keep diluting everything, and you would not be able to make money easily by just launching a new coin… This was clearly wrong!”

他說：“我有一些錯誤的論點。” “一個論點是，在某個時候，人們會厭倦購買新硬幣，因為他們不斷稀釋所有硬幣，而您將無法通過發射新硬幣來輕鬆賺錢……這顯然是錯誤的！”

He chuckles ruefully as his eyes travel to the exhibition hall below with its loud booths and colorful merch.

當他的眼睛帶著大聲的攤位和五顏六色的商品前往下面的展覽館時，他笑著笑著。

“There’s still very much a playbook where you raise a bunch of money for VCs. You launch a coin. You own 90% of the tokens, and you flood the market with them.”

“仍然有一本劇本，您為VCS籌集了一大筆錢。您推出了硬幣。您擁有90％的令牌，並在市場上充斥著它們。”

At a time when pump.fun spews out tokens by the second, Fartcoin ranks higher than Tezos by market cap, and the President of the United States has his own meme coin; does Arthur still have the same passion and drive for what he does? He sighs:

在Pump.Fun將令牌拋棄的時候，Fartcoin的排名高於市值的Tezos，而美國總統擁有自己的模因硬幣。亞瑟是否仍然對自己的工作充滿激情和動力？他嘆了口氣：

“I’ve been disappointed with how the rest of the ecosystem has moved on—not the Tezos ecosystem, which is brilliant—but there’s a lot of nihilism that took over in crypto, and I don’t like the nihilism. I came in for the technology, for the ideology, for the political aspect of it… If you look today, that’s been drowned out.”

“我對其餘的生態系統的發展感到失望，而不是很棒的是Tezos生態系統 - 但是有很多虛無主義接管了加密貨幣，我不喜歡這種虛無主義。我是為了了解這項技術的意識形態，為此，我看著今天的政治方面……如果您今天被淹沒了。”

Arthur and his wife Kathleen launched Tezos in the first place to be a breeding ground for innovation and a place to try experiments not possible on Bitcoin, with a self-amending blockchain that removed the need for contentious forks and prioritized

亞瑟（Arthur）和他的妻子凱瑟琳（Kathleen）首先推出了特佐斯（Tezos），成為創新的繁殖場所，並在比特幣上不可能嘗試實驗的地方，這是一個自我塑造的區塊鏈，它消除了對爭議叉的需求並優先考慮。
