但丹尼预定的特斯拉有狂暴模式
But the Tesla that Danny ordered has Ludicrous Mode,
就是说它从零加速到近百公里只需2.8秒
which means it goes zero to 60 in 2.8 seconds.
就是我会多花整整0.4秒才能到近一百公里
So it's gonna take me an entire 0.4 seconds longer to get to 60.
我是说如果你的一个邻居有一座
I mean, how would you feel if one of your neighbors
比你这个还大的提基神像你会怎么想
got a tiki head bigger than yours?
我们买♥♥它的时候
Oh, well, when we bought it,
我们确认过这是他们造过最大的一座
we made sure it was the biggest one they made, so.
你是街区内拥有最大提基神像的大佬
You're the biggest tiki head guy in the neighborhood.
而我曾经是公♥司♥里的特斯拉大佬
I used to be the Tesla guy in the office.
我刷爆了我的信♥用♥卡♥才能付得起
I maxed out my credit cards to be able to afford that thing.
现在我们要拿到B轮融♥资♥了
And now that we're getting series B,
这些贪图享受的千禧世代暴发户傻♥逼♥们
any one of these bourgeois new money millennial fucks
随便就能买♥♥一辆
can just go out and buy one.
我不想听起来自私
I don't wanna sound selfish,
但有时我希望只有我赚钱你懂吗
but sometimes I wish only I made money. You know?
我们在这儿讨论什么
What are we talking about, here?
你想让我们发布一种加密货币
You want us to launch a cryptocurrency?
是的
I do.
人们为了买♥♥我们的算力愿意支付
The fact that people are willing to pay many multiples more
比本身价值高几倍的价钱这就证明
for our compute credits than they're worth,
我们在这方面有机会
we have an opportunity here.
价值是相对的理查德
Worth is relative, Richard.
你什么意思
What do you mean?
为什么人们贪图
Why do people covet
他们钱包中愚蠢的绿色棉纸
the silly pieces of green cotton paper in their wallets?
就因为我们都是盲从的羔羊
It's because we are all sheep.
我们互相同意赋予某些东西价值
And we've mutually agreed to endow certain things with value.
现在由于某种原因
And right now, for some reason,
市场比我们更看重我们的算力
the market values our credits more than we did.
吉尔弗约尔我们不会突然转型
Gilfoyle, we're not gonna suddenly pivot
成为一家电子货币公♥司♥
and become a digital currency company.
我不是在提议转型
I'm not proposing a pivot.
我在提议我们出♥售♥电子货币
I'm proposing that we sell digital currency
以此来资助我们的新互联网公♥司♥
as a way to finance our new Internet company.
你想要劳里·布里姆之外的选项
You wanted an alternative to Laurie Bream.
就在你面前呢
Well, it's right here in front of you.
魔笛币
PiedPiperCoin.
好吧听着我
Okay, look, I...
我不会把我新互联网的未来
I'm not gonna bet the entire future
以及我为之努力的一切
of my new Internet and everything I've worked for
都赌在成为下一个比特币上
on becoming the next Bitcoin.
你真的期望我那么做吗
You really expect me to do that?
几乎没什么能让我发自内心地为之辩护
There are very few things that I will defend with true passion:
除了医用大♥麻♥
medical marijuana,
用圣经中的撒旦来隐喻反抗暴♥政♥的行为
the biblical Satan as a metaphor for rebellion against tyranny,
还有他妈该死的加密货币
and mother fucking Goddamn cryptocurrency.
我准备了幻灯片
I have a PowerPoint
我一直想找时间给你看看
that I've been wanting to show you for some time.
帮我理清现在的情况
Walk me through this.
我们不能在中国制♥造♥盒子
We can't make our boxes in China
因为姚威胁了
because Yao has threatened
那个国家所有的的制♥造♥商
every manufacturer in the country.
没错
That's right.
我们负担不起孟加拉国
We can't afford Bangladesh,
因为工人们已经组成工会了
because the workers have unionized.
很遗憾没错
Sadly, correct.
我们不能使用我们在老挝的工厂
And we can't use our place in Laos,
因为一个人的头皮被扯掉了
because one person gets her scalp ripped off
突然之间每个人都喊着要规范生产
and suddenly, everyone's screaming regulations.
是的
Yes.
你知道你听到了很多
You know, you hear a lot of chatter
关于全球经济增长的种种
about the growth of the global economy,
但没有一个人想要谈谈负面影响
but no one wants to talk about the downside.
盖文还有一个
Gavin, there is one other
生产选择我们没讨论到
manufacturing option we haven't discussed yet,
考虑到现在的情况
which considering the current circumstances,
可能值得考虑
might be worth consideration.
我任何选择都可以考虑
I'm open to anything.
美国
America.
去你♥妈♥的♥
Fuck you.
我也这么觉得
I feel the same way.
但最近北卡罗来纳州金布莱尔的市长
But we were recently contacted
联♥系♥过我们
by the mayor of Goldbriar, North Carolina.
他们有一家已关闭的数字视频录像机制♥造♥厂
They had a DVR manufacturing plant that closed.
几乎不用添加新设备
The retooling would be minimal.
他们有技术熟练的劳动力储备
They've got a skilled labor pool
但没活干他们听起来很渴求合作
just sitting idle and they sound desperate.
真的吗
Really?
多渴求
How desperate?
卑微得让人可怜
It was pitiful.
真的
Really?
亚里士多德的稳定货币
在公元前350年
In 350 BCE,
亚里士多德把稳定的货币定义为
Aristotle defined sound money as being
可持续可转移
durable, transferable,
可分割的稀有的可识别的
divisible, scarce, recognizable....
-吉尔弗约尔 -可替代的
- Gilfoyle? - And fungible.
什么
What?
我们能往前跳过2400年吗
Can we skip ahead 2,400 years?
我是说我知道加密货币是什么
I mean, I know what cryptocurrency is.
理查德我花了很多时间准备这演示稿
Richard, a lot of work went into this presentation.
-好吧 -那行
- Okay. - Fine.
但你错过了很多这里的箴言
But you're missing out on a lot of wisdom, here.
不如你告诉我
Why don't you tell me what you know
你对比特币了解多少吧
about Bitcoin as a jumping-off point?
好当然可以
Okay, sure.
我非常肯定它是由一名日本男人...
Uh, well, I'm pretty sure it was founded by a Japanese guy...
或者男人们或是女人们
Or guys, or girls,
在2008年用中本聪这个名字创造的
going by the name Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008.
真实身份仍然未知
True identity still unknown.
好吧每天我都会看到文章说
Okay, look, every day I read an article
我们正处于怎样一个比特币泡沫中
about how we're in a Bitcoin bubble.
那是谁写的这些文章
And who is writing those articles?
我不想说是权势集团
I don't wanna say the establishment.
但有可能沃伦·巴菲特
But is it possible that Warren Buffett
将比特币称作金字塔骗局
called Bitcoin a pyramid scheme
是因为他有9200万美元的资产要保护
because he has 92 billion conventional dollars to protect?
假设他是对的假设比特币会完蛋
Let's say he's right. Let's say Bitcoin dies.
那又怎样
So what?
我的空间友人网它们都玩完了
MySpace, Friendster, they both died.
但它们为其它像脸书和推特
But they paved the way for other social media tripe
这样的社交媒体
like Facebook and Twitter
在全球泛滥铺平了道路
to completely overrun the planet.
加密货币就在那里
Crypto is out there.
它不会退出历史舞台
And it's not going away.
只是感觉它不靠谱
It just feels sketchy.
跟新互联网一样不靠谱吗理查德
In the same way that a new Internet is sketchy, Richard?
什么是加密货币
What is crypto?
它不真是去中心化匿名安全
If not decentralized, anonymous, secure,
并对现有当权派存在威胁的吗
and an existential threat to the powers that be?
我还以为你会全力支持这样的事物
I would think that you'd be all-in on something like that.
我会但你真的觉得我们可以创造一种
Yeah. But do you really think we can create a currency
价值三千万美元的货币吗
worth $30 million?
因为我们将放弃的就那么多
Because that's what we'd be giving up.
也许吧可能会更多
Maybe. Probably even more.
但即使没有那么多
But even if it's less,
我们仍会拿回对公♥司♥的掌控能自治
we would still gain control, autonomy,
董事会席位还有股份
board seats and shares,
而且你不用依赖一个曾经把你
and you wouldn't have to rely on a VC who once fired you
从自己公♥司♥里开除的风投了
from your own company.
所以在狂暴模式之上
