Kurt Wuckert Jr. hosted the final CoinGeek Weekly Livestream of 2024 on New Year’s Eve, and he was joined by entrepreneur and big block OG Eli Afram, the creator of AnonSurvey.com, the first scalable blockchain voting platform.

Kurt Wuckert Jr. 在新年前夕主持了 2024 年最后一场 CoinGeek 每周直播，企业家兼大区块 OG Eli Afram 也加入了他的行列，后者是第一个可扩展区块链投票平台 AnonSurvey.com 的创始人。

The livestream kicked off with Wuckert thanking RockWallet and Champions TCG for sponsoring the show throughout the year. Both fast-growing firms advertised on the livestream throughout 2024, which Wuckert described as a “sobering year” with plenty of highs and lows.

直播开始时，Wuckert 感谢 RockWallet 和 Champions TCG 全年赞助该节目。两家快速发展的公司在整个 2024 年都在直播中做广告，伍克特将这一年描述为“发人深省的一年”，充满了高潮和低谷。

On the one hand, 2024 was a halving year, with miner revenue declining substantially. The drama of Dr. Craig Wright’s court cases was another lowlight for BSV, but it wasn’t all negative. On the positive side, Teranode is going from strength to strength, and TAAL recently mined the first Teranode block. Ordinals continued to be popular throughout 2024, and many new people became interested in scaling and the underlying technology because of it.

一方面，2024年是减半年，矿工收入大幅下降。 Craig Wright 博士的法庭案件的戏剧性是 BSV 的另一个低谷，但这并不全是负面的。从积极的一面来看，Teranode 正在不断壮大，TAAL 最近开采了第一个 Teranode 区块。序号在 2024 年持续流行，许多新人因此对扩展和底层技术产生了兴趣。

Wuckert reminded us that Bitcoin has always been about the system and what it can disrupt in the long term. However, the industry’s incentives are currently warped. Every dollar deployed has likely underperformed simply holding BTC, and while lots of people are making money now, it’s worrying for the long term.

伍克特提醒我们，比特币始终与系统及其长期破坏性有关。然而，该行业的激励措施目前已经扭曲。部署的每一美元的表现可能都不及仅仅持有比特币，虽然现在很多人都在赚钱，但从长远来看，这令人担忧。

He invited us to imagine this trend at scale—MicroStrategy (NASDAQ:MSTR) has shut down its original software business and is now focused solely on stacking BTC—what if other companies did this? It would lead to a widespread economic slowdown with serious consequences.

他邀请我们想象一下这种规模化的趋势——MicroStrategy（纳斯达克股票代码：MSTR）已经关闭了原来的软件业务，现在只专注于堆叠比特币——如果其他公司也这样做怎么办？这将导致广泛的经济放缓，并带来严重后果。

Yet, as if that isn’t worrying enough, President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Howard Lutnick as Commerce Secretary. The CEO of Cantor Fitzgerald (NASDAQ:ZCIIFX) is “Tether’s bankers’ banker,” meaning the shady characters at the head of the stablecoin company are one step closer to the center of the network. Wuckert is concerned that the fraud and early shenanigans can be papered over and Tether can reach “escape velocity.” Afram wondered if, at this point, there’s some government involvement in Tether, to which Wuckert replied it is almost certain since they’re one of the biggest bondholders.

然而，似乎这还不够令人担忧，当选总统唐纳德·特朗普已任命霍华德·卢特尼克为商务部长。 Cantor Fitzgerald（纳斯达克股票代码：ZCIIFX）的首席执行官是“Tether 银行家中的银行家”，这意味着稳定币公司负责人的可疑人物离网络中心又近了一步。伍克特担心欺诈和早期的恶作剧可能会被掩盖，而 Tether 可能会达到“逃逸速度”。阿夫拉姆想知道，目前 Tether 是否有政府参与，伍克特回答说，这几乎是肯定的，因为他们是最大的债券持有人之一。

Wuckert and Afram briefly discussed their Christian backgrounds before the latter made an astute point: there are many similarities between religious ways of thinking and those in the blockchain industry. In this industry, people get riled up when you criticize the technology or coin they believe in; it’s almost as if it has become part of their identity, and they cannot view things rationally. This is only exacerbated by the fact they often have a lot of money on the line, and being wrong has actual costs.

Wuckert 和 Abram 简要讨论了他们的基督教背景，然后后者提出了一个精明的观点：宗教思维方式与区块链行业的思维方式有很多相似之处。在这个行业中，当你批评他们所相信的技术或货币时，人们会感到愤怒；这几乎已经成为他们身份的一部分，他们无法理性地看待事物。由于他们经常面临大量资金的威胁，而且犯错会带来实际成本，这一事实只会加剧这种情况。

Wuckert believes this is partly because many people don’t have another anchor in life. If they had families and communities, it wouldn’t be so intense. However, for many, their favorite coin is their community, and they will fight to defend it.

伍克特认为，部分原因是许多人的生活中没有另一个支柱。如果他们有家庭和社区，事情就不会那么激烈。然而，对于许多人来说，他们最喜欢的货币是他们的社区，他们会为捍卫它而奋斗。

Speaking of beliefs, the pair switched to the COPA v Wright trial earlier in 2024. Afram says he honestly thought Wright would win. Wuckert says he was always cautious, given how powerful COPA players are and how many holes are in Wright’s story. He points to the sterility of the evidence as one reason he wasn’t 100% certain as so many others were. Afram says he still thinks Wright is Satoshi but accepts he could be wrong.

说到信念，两人于 2024 年初转向 COPA 诉赖特案的审判。阿夫拉姆说，他真诚地认为赖特会获胜。伍克特说，考虑到 COPA 球员的实力以及赖特的故事中有多少漏洞，他总是很谨慎。他指出，证据的贫乏是他不能像其他许多人那样 100% 确定的原因之一。阿夫拉姆表示，他仍然认为赖特是中本聪，但他承认他可能是错的。
