fit21

According to Cointelegraph: The US House of Representatives has voted in favor of the Financial Innovation and Technology for the 21st Century Act (FIT21), aimed at clarifying the rules of securities and commodities regulators in overseeing cryptocurrencies. The next step for the bill is a potentially challenging path through the US Senate, where it has neither a companion bill nor a set timeline for action.

The FIT21 bill, which saw 71 Democrats and 208 Republicans vote in favor, could face robust opposition in the Senate, considering the presence of prominent crypto critics like Senator Elizabeth Warren. Post the Senate Review, if approved, the bill would proceed to President Biden's desk. The President on May 22 expressed his administration's disapproval of the bill, though it didn't specify his vetoing intention.

While Coinbase CEO, Brian Armstrong, celebrated this development as a "total victory", crypto-focused lawyer Gabriel Shapiro countered by arguing that the FIT21 could still grant the SEC "considerable power". The bill, if passed, will primarily place the control of cryptocurrencies under the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), viewed as a more lax regulator than the SEC.

链游社区里最常见的一种论调是：零撸党就是蝗虫，吃完就走，不贡献任何价值。持有这种看法的人通常是花过钱的玩家，他们觉得自己在养活整个系统，而免费用户只是在白嫖。
这种想法可以理解，但基本上是错的。
任何一个需要玩家互动、需要市场流动性、需要地图看起来有人气的虚拟世界，都不可能只靠付费用户支撑。你想象一下一个只有付费玩家的 Pixels 会是什么样子：几百个鲸鱼各自在自己的豪华土地上独自种田，公共区空空荡荡，市场上挂单的人比买单的人多，整个世界安静得像一座富人墓地。
免费玩家存在的意义不是他们自己花不花钱，而是他们让花了钱的人觉得花得值。
地主需要有人来自己的地上干活才能收税。市场需要有足够多的卖家和买家才能产生流动性。公共区需要有人走来走去才会看起来像一个活的世界。VIP 的差异感需要有非 VIP 作为对照才成立。这些东西全都建立在免费玩家的存在之上。
$PIXEL 的经济体系其实已经暗含了这个逻辑。它的很多消耗场景——比如土地税、公会碎片溢价、VIP 的身份感——都需要一个足够大的基层人口作为底座。如果免费玩家全走了，这些上层建筑会跟着塌。
所以我看 #pixel 对待免费玩家的态度，其实就是在看它有没有真的想清楚自己的经济结构。一个项目如果在文档里写着"面向所有人"，行动上却在疯狂挤压零撸空间，那它要么没想清楚，要么在撒谎。
好的经济体应该让免费玩家活得不太舒服，但能活下去。不太舒服是因为他们需要感受到付费的诱惑。能活下去是因为系统需要他们在场。这两条线之间的空间很窄，走好了叫设计，走歪了叫驱赶。
