反对只做稳定币应用层包装,认为长期赢家是垂直整合基础设施

中文翻译

我非常不同意这个 thesis。 所有那些做 YC 式快速上市、“世界级 UX 的酷应用”的人,比如 crypto cards,其实只是在 Visa 网络上再增加一层摩擦。 那些做“酷炫区块链 neobank”的人,把 crypto on-ramp 搭在 Zerohash 上,Zerohash 又搭在 MoonPay 上,再搭在 X 包装层上,本质上就是包装套包装。 利润率不会下降。行业什么都没变。 人们仍然通过 Bridge 向 Stripe 支付 1.5% 的稳定币费用。人们仍然通过 IBKR 经 Zerohash 支付 0.8% 的 Bitcoin 入金费用。 商户仍然通过 POS 终端支付 2.2%-2.9%,即使 USDC/SOL 的成本可能只有 1 美分。 如果稳定币基础设施公司想自己像 Apple 一样,从汇款、第三方支付或 neobank 开始做应用,它们可以很轻松地把上面那些漂亮 UI 应用全部抹掉。 而且它们应该这么做。 真正的长期赢家,会是拥有汇款牌照(Coinbase)、银行牌照(Circle)和其他关键许可、并能真正颠覆传统金融的垂直整合基础设施。 不是那些只是给当前混乱系统再加一层漂亮应用 UI、但什么问题都没解决的东西。

英文原文

Extremely disagree with the thesis. Everyone building YC fast-go-to-market "sick app with world-class UX" like crypto cards are just building extra friction on top of Visa network. People building "sick blockchain neobanks" with crypto on-ramps on top of Zerohash on top of Moonpay on top of X wrapper on top are just wrappers on top of wrappers. Margins don't go down. Nothing changes in the industry. People are still paying 1.5% for Stablecoins Stripe via Bridge. People are still paying .8% for a Bitcoin on-ramp through IBKR via Zerohash. Merchants are still paying 2.2%-2.9% through the POS terminal, even though USDC SOL is probably 1 cent. If (stablecoin infrastructure) or wanted to start building applications themselves like Apple from remittance/3pp or Neobanks, via they could easily wipe out the fancy UI apps everything on top. And they should. True long term winners will be vertically integrated infrastructure with money transmitter licenses (Coinbase), banking charters (Circle), and others to actually disrupt traditional finance. Not fancy application UIs that just add to the current mess, and fix nothing.
