A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, and die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
Elon Musk was almost on the verge of tears in this FOX interview—overwhelmed with deep frustration: Host: "You gave up other things to help the government. How are your other businesses doing?" 🙁 Musk sighs and remains silent for a moment: "It's very difficult." "Honestly, I can’t believe I’m even doing this. I just don’t want America to go bankrupt."
In my view, most self-proclaimed KOLs in China don't truly qualify as KOLs. This "qualification" isn’t just about holding at least 10 BTC, as Lao Xu once said, but more importantly about the ability to produce independent and insightful opinions. However, the reality is that many so-called KOLs in China are more like information couriers or translators, often deliberately maintaining a neutral stance. This caution is understandable — if you hype a project too much, people will accuse you of manipulating the market. If they lose money, they might even report you to the authorities. On the flip side, if they profit, they'll just flatter you with a "you're awesome" comment. The risk-to-reward ratio is too poor. That’s why most truly skilled KOLs choose to quietly make their fortune without drawing attention.
Ethereum has developed a decentralized and modular social structure, where dozens of independent entities are responsible for accelerating growth and expansion. This structure effectively leverages diverse forms of research, development, and ecosystem-building cultures. However, it also introduces new challenges: each Layer 2 (L2) is created by different participants, treated as a separate chain by infrastructure, and often follows different standards. Layer 1 (L1) must mediate transfers between rollups, leading to high costs and delays. Each chain requires its own infrastructure components, such as cross-chain bridges and oracles, while network operators and validators face strict limitations in cross-chain operations. This results in the fragmentation of L1, causing significant inconveniences for developers and users in terms of composability and user experience.
