If you’ve spent much time on the internet recently you might have noticed something: it’s gotten really fast-paced and really fun. It just keeps getting faster and funner. Bitcoin, Clubhouse, NFTs, unicorn startups galore, the Creator Economy. Each feels simultaneously like a potential fad and a nascent revolution.
如果你最近花了很多时间在互联网上，你可能会注意到一些事情: 它变得非常快节奏和非常有趣。它只是越来越快，越来越有趣。比特币、 Clubhouse、 NFTs、独角兽创业公司、创造者经济。每一种感觉都既像是潜在的时尚，又像是一场新生的革命。
From the eye of the storm, it’s hard to tell exactly what it means. Will digital artists continue to mint millions from NFTs? Will Creator Economy startups continue to raise early stage rounds at dizzying valuations? Will consumer social apps need top-tier influencer founders to cut through the noise?
从风暴的中心来看，很难准确地说出它的意思。数字艺术家还会继续从全国电子艺术展中赚取数百万美元吗？创造者经济初创公司会继续以令人眼花缭乱的估值提高初期投资回报吗？消费者社交应用是否需要顶级影响力的创始人来消除这些噪音？
I have no idea, and instead of singling out any company or NFT, a thought exercise seems more appropriate, based on three ideas that keep coming to mind:
我不知道，与其挑出任何一家公司或 NFT，不如根据我脑海中不断浮现的三个想法，做一个思维练习似乎更合适:
A main Not Boring theme that Genies don’t go quietly back into bottles. 一个主要的不无聊的主题，精灵不会安静地回到瓶子里。
Chris Dixon’s famous line that “the next big thing will start out looking like a toy.” 克里斯 · 迪克森 (chrisdixon) 有句名言: “下一个大事件开始时看起来就像一个玩具。”
Ben Thompson’s idea that media businesses are the first to adapt to new paradigms because of their relative simplicity, and others follow later.
本 · 汤普森的观点是，媒体业务是第一个适应新范式的，因为它们相对简单，其他的则是后来才适应的。
Taken together, what I see happening is this:
综上所述，我看到的情况是:
The Creator Economy and NFTs are massive human potential unlocks. Even if certain assets are in a short-term bubble, we are on an inexorable march towards individuals mattering more than institutions.
创造者经济和非创造性技能是巨大的人类潜能的解锁。即使某些资产处于短期泡沫之中，我们也正在不可阻挡地走向比机构更重要的个人。
