预先捕捉市场：查尔斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）试图利用数字资产峰会冷冻

三月份，有十几位顶级加密高管漫步到白宫州餐厅，参加了数字资产峰会，一位创始人被排除在外。

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，有十几位顶级加密高管漫步到白宫州餐厅，参加了数字资产峰会，一位创始人被排除在外。

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.

查尔斯·霍斯金森（Charles Hoskinson）是共同创立以太坊和卡尔达诺（Cardano）的墨西里多症（Mercurial Polymath），这是奇怪的。毕竟，白宫刚刚提出了将Cardano代币纳入加密战略储备中的想法。

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首席执行官Brian Armstrong，战略执行董事长Michael Saylor和Ripple首席执行官Brad Garlinghouse等人确实收到了圆桌会议的邀请。

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

他们会见了唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）总统和他的顶级加密顾问，大卫·萨克斯（David Sacks）和博恩斯（Bo Hines），以及财政部长斯科特·贝斯特（Scott Bessent）。

Hoskinson shrugged off the snub.

霍斯金森耸了耸肩。

”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）在巴黎区块链周的旁观者的酒店套房中对DL新闻说：“很多人都想接近大卫·萨克斯（David Sacks）和博恩斯（Bo Hines）并在那里建立关系。”

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

“这是本周的味道。这对光学很不错，但它并没有转化为可持续的永久政策。”

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

尽管如此，亿万富翁区块链建造者并没有喜欢与特朗普的一段时间的想法吗？

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

37岁的霍斯金森说：“我不需要与特朗普达成协议。”

Offbeat pursuits

另类追求

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.

在其他加密亿万富翁中，这样的立场可能仅仅是Bravado。但是，霍斯金森长期以来一直是一个行业小牛的道路，他对自己的意见和投资一样慷慨。

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.

霍斯金森在一个春天的下午穿着白色的纽扣衬衫和咖啡棕色的卡其布，在周五休闲的中间经理看起来比以太坊的创始人之一的键盘战士更像是一名中间经理。

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

尽管他因在分散的金融中发挥着优先的角色而获得了兴奋的作用，但他也因其另类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.

他吹捧着漆黑的大麻的培养，注入了干细胞，并与他的怀俄明州牧场一起制作了音乐录影带，与史努比·杜格（Snoop Dogg）（喜欢加密货币的嘻哈图标）。

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

在对DL新闻的独家采访中，他打开了他的最新追求 - 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.

或更确切地说，向立法者，监管机构，甚至偶尔的国家元首推广区块链技术（即Cardano），作为政府服务的有用工具。

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.

为此，霍斯金森（Hoskinson）已成为世界各地的一种辩护外交官，以提供他对区块链技术的可持续永久性政策形成的见解。

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.

在华盛顿，他说，他已经接近参议院银行委员会有影响力的主席蒂姆·斯科特（Tim Scott），他正在通过国会通过国会来邀请地标稳定法案。

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）与饮食，国家立法机关，前数字化转型部长的成员Takuy​​a Hirai讨论了技术和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，霍斯金森会见了亲克莱托普（Crypto）总统哈维尔·麦利（Javier Milei）的同事，他陷入了热水，以认可一份迅速崩溃的成员45亿美元的丑闻。

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

“几年前，我们告诉所有以太坊人们都没有意义。”

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频道上解释说，Hoskinson和Milei的照片开始在X上流通后，他与Memecoin发射无关。

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

霍斯金森不仅为分散财务传福音。输入输出，支持Cardano网络的开发公司在几个国家运营。

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

像他的许多同龄人一样，霍斯金森会喜欢加密法规，从一个管辖权到下一个司法管辖区保持一致。

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

但是，Cardano创始人的批评者肯定会对他的主张持怀疑态度。

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

Cardano的价值将近220亿美元，并且是十大加密货币。但是区块链有其问题。

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.

评论家说，对于初学者来说，发展很慢。 Cardano并没有推出智能合约，这是Defi Networks上的核心产品，直到2017年企业开始后的四年。卡尔达诺的编程语言Haskell也对开发人员学习而言也是挑战。

Meanwhile, DeFi applications on other blockchains have ballooned.

同时，其他区块链上的Defi应用也散发出来。

A mistake

一个错误

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.

根据Defillama的数据，以太坊在1,000多个Defi应用程序中拥有超过460亿美元的资金。索拉纳（Solana）在数百个应用程序之间有70亿美元的晃动。 Cardano在39个应用程序中只有2.87亿美元。

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

结果，Cardano未能产生与其他区块链网络相同的尊重水平。

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

例如，3月份，一家分散的电信公司World Mobile宣布它正在扩展到Cardano和Schowning
