I had a recent conversation with both Stanford professor and another professor from Tsinghua separately.

The Stanford professor kept showing me the Ghibli and toy packaging gen from GPT that maximized his dopamine. To him, this is the pinnacle of technology.

I asked him what he thought on the Full-self Driving, he was not amazed, and he told me his colleagues did not believe it’s going anywhere either.

The professor from Tsinghua was the opposite end of the spectrum. His main research focus had been shifted toward robotics, and he was extremely impressed by the Full-self Driving videos on Weibo.

What do you think how these two professors indirectly or directly influence their students on their research topics? And how big of the gap would that be many years from now?

Every new PhD students would have the influence of technology breakthroughs 5-10 years in the future.

If we are incubating our brightest and smartest PhD students at > $80K per year in elite schools, should we not encourage them to think bigger?

Federal agents built a fake crypto startup to test a theory—and it worked.

They caught UAE-based CLS Global offering to wash trade an AI token to fake demand. The DOJ says CLS used custom algorithms to make trades between its own wallets and simulate real market action.

The sting involved a full fake project—NexFundAI—launched by the feds on Uniswap. CLS bit, agreeing to promote the token with deceptive tactics.

Now CLS Global has pleaded guilty to market manipulation and wire fraud. It’s banned from U.S. crypto markets for 3 years and fined $428K.

Is this just the beginning of AI-token crackdowns?

From Doctoral Thesis to Fo Coin: A Twenty-Year Journey of a Web3 Idealist

At 6:00 AM, I habitually open my OKX Web3 wallet and several major cryptocurrency platforms to check the latest updates. This daily routine began in 2022 after I fell victim to a scam during a GameFi project, losing NFTs worth tens of thousands. Standing on the coast of Tseung Kwan O, I can’t help but recall a question posed by one of my thesis committee members during my defense in 2007: “How can your proposed digital equity scheme ensure it doesn’t evolve into a new privilege for a technological elite?”

Eighteen years later, this question remains profoundly relevant. As a professional in Hong Kong's higher education sector, I have developed a keen interest in the FoChat project launched by Mr Qian Fenglei and his team. The vision of “connecting Web 3 and Web 2 value” outlined in the project’s white paper prompted me to dust off my long-forgotten thesis draft. Concepts I once proposed—such as “credit algorithm-based inclusive finance” and “programmable social security mechanisms”—now seem to be taking shape in new ways through this initiative.

Since March 21, when Mr. Qian personally assisted me in installing FoChat on my phone, I have observed an intriguing phenomenon: users over 40, on average, take three times longer to complete on-chain transactions than younger users, yet their dispute rate is 58% lower. This finding supports the core hypothesis of my doctoral thesis: the essence of the digital divide lies in differences in trust mechanisms.

Throughout my ongoing observations, I remain focused on two critical questions:

How can we enable ordinary people to use Fo Coin as easily as they do WeChat Pay or Alipay?
What dispute resolution mechanisms should we establish when on-chain governance conflicts with real-world laws?
Utilizing the DApp browser feature of the OKX Web3 wallet, I am able to closely observe these ongoing “social experiments”:

Tracking the amendment processes of DAO organizations via the Aragon platform
Analyzing voting patterns on governance proposals using Snapshot
Studying dispute resolution cases on the Arbitrum chain

These subjects are not mere financial tools; they are vivid examples reflecting the evolution of digital social governance. While most focus on market price fluctuations, I lean toward analyzing the semantic networks of governance discussion forums. A colleague has humorously dubbed me a “digital-era ethnographer,” a fitting description—while others chase short-term gains, I delve into:

The deeper reasons behind intense discussions on Uniswap governance proposals
The persistently low voting participation rates in DAO organizations
The actual on-chain holdings of social media influencers

I plan to revisit the theoretical frameworks on risk management and dispute resolution from my doctoral thesis, integrating them with current developments, and submit them to the FoChat team as a reference, aiming to encode academic thought into the underlying logic of blockchain.

For instance, during a comparative study using OKX Web3's cross-chain capabilities, I discovered an intriguing phenomenon: community proposals on the Polygon chain are processed, on average, 1.8 times faster than those on Ethereum, yet their dispute resolution success rate is 23% lower. This finding may provide significant material for my new research.

These records are not ordinary investment logs; they are field notes from an observer navigating the evolution of digital civilization. When the market enters a frenzy, the multi-chain analytical tools provided by OKX Web3 serve as my digital telescope, helping me maintain a clear observational perspective.

#OKX小作文大賽 @okxchinese
《從博士論文到Fo幣：一個Web3理想主義��的二十年跋涉》
清晨六點，我習慣性地打開OKX Web3錢包以及幾個主要虛擬幣相關平臺查看最新動態。 這個日常習慣始於2022年，當時我在參與一個GameFi項目時不慎遭遇詐騙，損失了價值數萬元的NFT。 站在將軍澳的海岸邊，我不禁回想起2007年博士論文答辯時，其中一位評審教授提出的問題：「您構想的數字平權方案，如何確保不會演變為技術精英的新特權？ "

十八年後的今天，這個問題依然具有現實意義。 作為一名香港高等教育領域的打工人，我對錢���雷團隊推出的FoChat項目產生了濃厚興趣。 該項目白皮書中「連接線上線下價值」的願景，讓我重新翻出塵封多年的博士論文草稿。 那些曾被質疑為過於理想化的構想——如“基於信用演算法的普惠金融”和“可程式設計的社會保障機制”——似乎正在這個項目中以新的形式得到實踐。

從3月21日在錢峰雷的山頂豪宅，錢總親自幫我的手機載入FoChat開始體驗以及交流，我觀察到一個值得注意的現象：40歲以上使用者完成鏈上交易所需時間平均比年輕用戶長3倍，但其交易糾紛率卻低58%。 這一發現恰好印證了我博士論文中的核心假設：數字鴻溝的本質在於信任機制的差異。

在持續觀察中，我始終關注兩個關鍵問題：
1. 如何讓普通人像使用微信支付或是支付寶那樣便捷地使用Fo幣？
2. 當鏈上治理與現實法律產生衝突時，應當建立怎樣的糾紛解決機制？

借助OKX Web3錢包的DApp瀏覽器功能，我得以近距離觀察這些正在進行的「社會實驗」：
- 通過Aragon平台跟蹤DAO組織的章程修訂過程
- 利用Snapshot分析治理提案的投票模式
- 研究Arbitrum鏈上的爭議解決案例

這些觀察對象並非單純的金融工具，而是反映數字社會治理演進的鮮活樣本。 當多數人關注市場價格波動時，我更傾向於分析治理討論區的語義網路。 有同事調侃我是「數字時代的田野調查者」，這個形容倒也貼切——在其他人追逐短期收益時，我專注於探究：
- Uniswap治理提案引發激烈討論的深層原因
- DAO組織投票參與率持續偏低的現象
- 社交媒體意見領袖的實際鏈上持倉情況

我打算把我博士論文中關於風險管理和爭議解決的理論框架結合現今的發展再梳理一下，並將其提交給FoChat團隊作為參考，爭取把學術思想編碼進區塊鏈的底層邏輯。

例如，在使用OKX Web3的跨鏈功能進行對比研究時，我發現一個有趣的現象：Polygon鏈上的社區提案平均處理速度比乙太坊快1.8倍，但其爭議解決成功率卻低23%。 這個發現可能為我的新研究提供重要素材。

這些記錄並非普通的投資日誌，而是一個觀察者在數字文明演進過程中的田野筆記。 當市場陷入狂熱時，OKX Web3提供的多鏈分析工具就像我的數字望遠鏡，幫我保持清醒的觀察視角。

[後記：本文記述的觀點僅代表個人學術觀察，不構成任何投資建議。 區塊鏈技術發展仍處於早期階段，讀者應保持理性認知。 ]
