rick awsb说:这是我在八年Web3旅程中的第一次感到我们缺乏清晰的方向

以下是一篇8年币圈og,Stacy Muur的一篇随笔,应该也代表了很多人的心声:

“这是我在八年Web3旅程中的第一次感到我们缺乏清晰的方向。

过去,我们总是有一些主导性的叙事来凝聚力量,背后还有一些趋势逐渐跟上。现在,注意力变得完全分散了。

当我阅读领先的Web3研究机构的报告时,我也注意到这种不确定性:主题分散,结论基于“如果/何时”的假设,深入探讨变少了,更多的报告聚焦于特定领域的现状。

没有什么突破性的东西。

你可能会说:“我们正在为下一代消费者、AI、社交和游戏应用构建基础设施。这是必经的阶段,没啥问题。”

这话有道理——在某种程度上。

看看游戏板块。竞争非常激烈,但涌现出来的有前途的游戏却很有限。许多团队在押注高负载的应用程序,但即使游戏真的成为下一个大事件,这也不会对大多数团队带来什么好处。

链抽象?这也是另一种以服务为中心的发展,旨在为下一波应用降低门槛——但没有人真正知道那些应用会是什么。

所有这些努力令人兴奋,但它们都是基于假设,而非事实。

回想当年,Axie 在没有复杂基础设施的情况下就为Web3带来了大量用户。同样的还有Stepn,甚至是Steemit(还有人记得那个2016年最早流行的社交平台吗?)。

所以这是我的一个有争议的观点:我们之所以构建基础设施,不是因为迫切需要它,而是因为我们不知道还能建什么。

如果你不同意我的观点,那么你是对的。”

This is the first time in my 8-year Web3 journey that I feel like we’re lacking a clear direction or thesis.

In the past, we always had dominant narratives to rally around, with a few trends catching up in the background. Now, attention feels completely scattered.

I notice this uncertainty when reading reports from leading Web3 research firms: scattered topics, if/when-based conclusions, fewer deep dives, and more reports focusing on the state of specific sectors.

Nothing groundbreaking.

You might argue: “We’re building the infrastructure for the next generation of consumer, AI, social, and gaming apps. This stage is necessary, and it’s fine.”

That’s true—to an extent.

Look at gaming chains. The competition is fierce, but we have a limited number of promising games emerging. Many teams are betting on high-load applications, but this won’t pay off for most, even if/when gaming becomes the next big thing.

Chain abstraction? Another service-focused development meant to lower barriers for the next wave of apps—but no one really knows what those apps will be.

All these efforts are exciting, but they’re based on assumptions, not facts.

Back in the day, Axie brought tons of users to Web3 without needing complex infrastructure. The same goes for Stepn or even Steemit (anyone still remember that first popular social platform from 2016?).

So here’s my controversial take: we’re building infrastructure not because it’s urgently needed, but because we don’t know what else to build.

I agree if you disagree.
