Haseeb Qureshi:我认为如果Uniswap链成功,它将从其他区块链中吸走大量流动性和总价值锁定,成为赢家。 我认同Meme币作为一个类别具有长期价值,但我不认为Meme币会形成超级周期。 我认为Uniswap推出自己的链Uniswap Chain,这将提高交易速度,降低费用,并可能重塑DeFi格局。 如果Uniswap Chain成功,它将从以太坊和其他链中吸走大量流动性。 卡马拉·哈里斯关于加密货币的政策声明模糊不清,且其与黑人男性议程的结合令人费解。 Tom Schmidt:Meme币超级周期理论既有描述性也有规定性,其规定性部分过于悲观且缺乏价值创造的视角。 Uniswap推出自己的链是合理的,因为它可以改善用户体验并提升其自身的盈利能力。 卡马拉·哈里斯关于加密货币的政策声明缺乏清晰性和针对性。 Robert Leshner:Meme币的价值建立在社会共识之上,类似于比特币。 Uniswap Chain可能会改变代币原生发行地,并可能使其他Layer 2受益。 卡马拉·哈里斯关于加密货币的政策声明含糊不清,难以实施。 Tarun Chitra:Meme币超级周期理论的核心在于,Meme币和VC币都在进行相同的投机行为,而Meme币由于其更强的社区凝聚力而更胜一筹。 Meme币超级周期理论认为Meme币将超越所有其他加密货币。 对Meme币超级周期理论的批评在于其忽略了价值创造和实用性。 Uniswap Chain最有趣的部分是其与Flashbots的合作,这将提高交易速度和用户体验。 Uniswap Chain能否成功取决于它能否吸引新的资产创建,从而恢复其网络效应。 卡马拉·哈里斯关于加密货币的政策声明可能是为了争取选票而仓促制定的。 卡马拉·哈里斯对加密货币的态度可能比拜登更积极。

Shownotes Transcript

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Tarun Chitra, and Robert Leshner slice into the juiciest topics in crypto. In this episode, the crew dives headfirst into the “Memecoin Supercycle,” sparking a debate on whether these wild, meme-powered coins are just a fleeting obsession or a genuine revolution. They then dissect Uniswap’s bold leap to launch its own chain on the Optimism Superchain, asking if this move could steal the spotlight from Ethereum and forever reshape the DeFi landscape. And just when you think it’s all about tech, they dive into Kamala Harris’ latest crypto play, with an eyebrow-raising appeal to memecoin investors. From soaring hype to DeFi drama and political power moves, this episode is packed with hot takes, spicy predictions, and a glimpse at what might lie ahead in the world of crypto.

Show highlights

🔹 “Memecoin Supercycle” and whether memecoins are on track to overtake traditional altcoins as they fuel a new wave of financial speculation.

🔹 Unichain: Uniswap’s bold move to launch its own chain on the Optimism Superchain, questioning whether this could pull DeFi liquidity away from Ethereum and reshape the crypto ecosystem.

🔹 Kamala Harris’ unexpected crypto appeal in her new “opportunity agenda for Black men,” which includes a vague promise for regulatory protection for digital assets.
