Foresight News现场报道,Solana Foundation Chair Lily Liu at Consensus 2026 stated that the core positioning of blockchain is financial infrastructure, with its key capability being the provision of digital scarcity and trustworthy value preservation, especially suitable for scenarios involving money, transactions, and asset rights confirmation.
Additionally, Lily Liu believes that combining Web2 super apps with public blockchains is the key to unlocking the full potential of the ownership economy. Although there are differing perspectives between technology-driven and finance-driven camps, consensus is pointing toward financial nativeness, meaning applications deeply integrated with currency, payments, and asset trading are most likely to withstand cycles and rebuild a more efficient global financial system.

Vitalik Buterin Analyzes Bitcoin Privacy Limitations: Why Decentralization Takes Priority Over Privacy
February 24 News, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin stated at an event in Chiang Mai, Thailand, that Bitcoin was designed with a priority on decentralization rather than privacy features, so it cannot effectively support both. He pointed out that Bitcoin, in order to maximize decentralization, has almost sacrificed privacy benefits, resulting in highly transparent transactions and account information on the blockchain.
Buterin explained that early cryptographic technology relied on centralized institutions to protect privacy because achieving full decentralization and privacy simultaneously was nearly impossible at the time. He emphasized that Bitcoin's design trade-offs involve some sacrifices in privacy, but its decentralization advantage provides the foundation for its network security and resistance to censorship.
