Blockchain technology and its user base might be growing apart. As the industry has made leaps and bounds in progress over the past five years in terms of its technical capabilities and financial acumen, it’s hard to say that its audience has evolved the same way.
区块链技术与其用户群之间的差距可能越来越大。过去五年来,该行业在技术能力和金融敏锐度方面取得了突飞猛进的发展,但很难说其受众也发生了同样的变化。
Sure, you have far fewer scammers and self-proclaimed wunderkinds percolating through the ecosystem than before thanks to the last bear market. But the hyper-online troll and commentator culture is still the public face of the crypto industry to many. Across online platforms, social media outlets, and industry conferences, voices continually seek to influence the trajectory of crypto and help HODLers navigate the market’s turbulent waters.
当然,由于上一轮熊市的影响,生态系统中的骗子和自称天才的人比以前少多了。但是,对许多人来说,超级网络巨魔和评论员文化仍然是加密货币行业的公众形象。在网络平台、社交媒体和行业会议上,不断有声音试图影响加密货币的发展轨迹,并帮助 HODLers 穿过市场的湍流。
Amid the noise of opinions, however, a critical question must be addressed: Are these critics merely sideline observers, or do they hold concrete power to drive progress within the industry? As crypto sheds its fringe status, it’s time to reckon with its cottage industry of critics and influencers.
然而,在众说纷纭中,有一个关键问题必须得到解决: 这些批评者只是旁观者,还是拥有推动行业进步的具体力量?随着加密货币摆脱边缘地位,是时候重新审视其山寨版的评论家和影响者了。
Every industry has a set of commentators—from sports to entertainment to politics—and each sector has pundits armed with words, ideas, and a varying degree of influence and credibility. However, for an internet-native industry like crypto which relies on digital forums for communication, online communities play a pivotal role in shaping perceptions, influencing decision-making, and driving overall market trends.
每个行业都有一批评论家--从体育到娱乐再到政治--每个行业都有用语言、观点以及不同程度的影响力和可信度武装起来的专家。然而,对于像加密货币这样依赖数字论坛进行交流的互联网原生行业来说,网络社区在塑造观念、影响决策和推动整体市场趋势方面发挥着举足轻重的作用。
The blockchain industry's growth offers newcomers a chance to explore emerging financial tools and decentralized finance. While it has gained positive traction, the pool of builders still remains relatively small. The crypto landscape is filled with many participants with little to no experience in tech or finance but who are still eager to contribute their perspectives and support to this expanding space.
区块链行业的发展为新人提供了一个探索新兴金融工具和去中心化金融的机会。虽然区块链行业已经获得了积极的发展,但建设者的数量仍然相对较少。在加密货币领域,有许多参与者几乎没有技术或金融方面的经验,但他们仍然渴望为这个不断扩大的领域贡献自己的观点和支持。
As such, platforms like X, Telegram and Discord, alongside crypto influencers, have become the lifeblood of many Web3 projects – and feedback can propagate across the internet, reaching a vast audience in a matter of moments. Elon Musk is an evergreen example, with his posts on X about cryptocurrencies consistently having a noticeable impact on the market. So clearly, there is an amplified influence from outside voices on the trajectory of crypto and associated projects.
因此,X、Telegram 和 Discord 等平台以及具有影响力的加密货币人士,已经成为许多 Web3 项目的生命线--反馈可以在互联网上传播,瞬间就能触及广大受众。埃隆-马斯克(Elon Musk)就是一个常青的例子,他在 X 上发布的关于加密货币的帖子一直对市场产生着明显的影响。因此,外界的声音显然对加密货币和相关项目的发展轨迹有着放大的影响。
