2 years since I wrote about MicroStrategy’s “Orange” product of decentralised IDs on #Bitcoin for Enterprise email security.

Project hasn’t been touched on GitHub since August 2024 and hasn’t been mentioned by Saylor, the CEO, nor in any of their filings since the hyped-up announcement.

I was completely right - Dead on Arrival.

quoting
nevent1q…pdgw

Plenty who understand DIDs have already commented on the tech issues with this solution, I wanted to explain the business and market reasons this is DOA.

First of all, what problem are they trying to solve?

Email security is the first usecase they’re rolling out. Specifically addressing spoofing which is a real problem for Enterprises. Other usecases are mentioned for futures but clearly MSTR and Saylor believe - as he’s said many times - that verifiable identities will solve this business problem.

So what is spoofing? A form of social engineering which attempts to deceive a message recipient (typically email but increasingly Slack/Teams/Zoom are targeted) that a message was sent from a known or trusted source; usually by manipulating email headers or using lookalike domains.

Typically it is used by scammers for simple frauds by instructing people to act. Either by directing them to send money or gift cards, change banking details, or to get additional information they can use for downstream attacks.

MicroStrategy Orange seeks to help Enterprise avoid spoofing by authenticating a signature for a User’s email which is anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain.

As they reference in the keynote - signatures for email are not new. SMIME has been around forever and it isn’t widely used because it introduces its own set of complexities.

What enterprises ++have++ done for years is rely on Secure Email Gateways (SEGs) to reduce the volume of malicious emails reaching Users. This is a software layer inserted in the mail flow which inspects email for things like malware or malicious URLs by checking them against known bad.

This worked well enough for a long time and multibillion dollar companies such as ProofPoint and Mimecast were built around it. The method is not foolproof, but their success is why scammers had to adapt and start using more social engineering attacks because these are less likely to be picked up by a SEG which tends to look for malware hashes, low reputation domains etc.

Next Generation email security is already here and being adopted by Enterprises.

Abnormal Security is the leader in this new category. They intercept traffic and feed it into a cloud “AI engine” which analyses hundreds of data points per email - like Crowdstrike for email. It builds a baseline of what “normal” email behaviour looks like for each User in an Enterprise and then use these signals to look for abnormalities.

This starts with things like the IP address of the sender (ie they always send from an office and now suddenly are sending from Russia), and relationships (ie the CEO who supposedly sent this has never emailed this lowly employee in Accounts Payable), but goes much deeper.

They use language analysis to parse emails for things like urgency, calls to action, financial requests, as well as if the email matches the writing style of the person being spoofed (“please do the needful” won’t fly in 2024).

This is very powerful because it’s not reliant on a static list of known bad which the vendors need maintain, but rather is analysing signals in real time to pickup these modern threats where SEGs are weak and because it’s done in Abnormal’s cloud, they can cross-pollinate for their expanding customer base which constantly improves the tech for all.

If the email doesn’t meet a threshold score it simply won’t be delivered to the end user, the same as a SEG blocks emails with malicious attachments. ++This is what Security teams actually want++, as it reduces the reliance on the weakest link - the End User - acting correctly (ie verifying an Orange signature) and simply takes the bad email out of their flow altogether.

Abnormal have taken the lead in this space with ProofPoint and Mimecast playing catchup, and others will likely emerge. But these are the tools that large Enterprises are already adopting to address this challenge.

No Cybersecurity professional is going to look at this Orange Check solution and see it as useful.

Their first point will be that which VitorPamplona (npub1gcx…nj5z) pointed out - bad actors will be able to get their own DID so relying on them is futile.

Secondly, unless they are ubiquitous to the point company’s would refuse non-DID signed email, then they have to leave non-Orange Checked emails to User discretion which is exactly what they don’t want to do.

Finally if this approach was going to be feasible, Microsoft (MSTR’s biggest competitor) would have already made it work - they dominate enterprise email and would have baked this in to their offering - they’re not going to allow a competitor to come in and monetise a product in that space, that’s simply not how big business works.

So what is the one chance that MicroStrategy has for this to be successful?

They will need to get the US Government onboard as a large customer and lobby to have Cybersecurity compliance frameworks require it - ie Gov entities won’t accept incoming mail without it.

Compliance tends to create its own industry; in consulting, certification, and technology solutions.

The only way this gets broad adoption is if some US Government Institution sees an ability to price out Bitcoin transactions by pushing this non-monetary usecase and forcing others to join in by mandating DIDs, and Big 4 consultancies see an ability to create an industry around it.

I don’t know how they could justify that. Certainly for email they couldn’t, possibly for codesigning or internet access or something I guess they could try as part of “secure digital supply chains”.

So if these Orange Checks somehow do gain traction you can be certain, ++100% certain++, it’s not because the free market thought they were a good solution and actually solve a problem but rather because powerful entities want to kneecap Bitcoin.

Of all the things Michael Saylor could do with 1% of the only absolutely scarce asset in the world, deciding to go this route for his company’s first project on Bitcoin is incredibly strange.

It’s as if he hasn’t actually spoken to any customers about how they’re doing email security today and instead just rolled with an idea that sounded good on paper but is in practice, useless.

I’m doubtful it will go anywhere and will be far more sceptical if it actually does.

2026-05-08T05:19:40Z

Illinois could lose millions in federal highway funding under a new Senate Republican bill.

The No Licenses for Illegal Drivers or Truckers Act would slash 10% of funding to sanctuary states like Illinois for issuing driver’s licenses to illegals without verifying legal immigration status.

Pritzker has made it easier to hide identities by replacing marked temporary licenses with clean standard ones and speeding up sealed name changes.

In another move, he signed HB 3125 in August 2025, allowing illegal aliens with a driver’s license or temporary visitor’s driver’s license for at least two years to become licensed driving instructors.

Meanwhile, the DOT reports that nearly 20% of Illinois commercial driver’s licenses were issued illegally.

Potholes wreck cars daily, bridges crumble, and sky-high property taxes fix nothing. Yet Illinois continues flooding our highways with unvetted drivers who often can’t read English signs.

Road safety gets ignored and those same licenses double as voter IDs.

Sanctuary states continue to put the needs of illegals first. Now taxpayers could pay the price with even less money for our crumbling roads.

有日本旅游经验的人都有体会，日本蔬菜（以及整体农产品）价格高得离谱。这很大程度上是日本政府长期推行农产品保护政策的结果。
首先，强大的日本农协垄断了农产品流通环节，导致层层加价，农协拥有庞大的选票资源，长期游说政府维持对国内农业的保护和补贴；其次，农协制定了严格的规格标准（大小、形状、颜色、直度等）——比如黄瓜必须笔直，西红柿大小必须均匀——不达标蔬菜的往往无法进入常规超市，只能被低价处理或直接扔掉，这意味着消费者买到的那些“完美蔬菜”必须分摊被扔掉的“丑蔬”的成本；此外，政府为了保障农民的高收入，会通过各种补贴甚至“销毁过剩蔬菜”的手段来人为托底市场价格。这些因素共同作用，导致普通消费者难以享受到正常价格的蔬菜。

# 困住有才之人始终清贫的一万小时谎言 ...

2026-05-08T05:08:35Z

# 困住有才之人始终清贫的一万小时谎言
我想跟你讲讲我认识的两个人。

第一位是我见过技术最顶尖的视频剪辑师之一，天赋实打实出众。他能用Premiere Pro做出常人难以企及的剪辑效果，从业差不多八年，早已攒够所谓的一万小时练习时长，作品质感堪称完美。

可他月收入只有大约4000美元，有时甚至更低。

第二位剪辑师，说实话水平只能算普通，中规中矩毫无亮点。两年前才学会基础操作，专业技术连第一位的一半都比不上。

但他上个月收入就超过了3万美元。

差距在哪？
第二个人搭建了成熟的运营体系，组建了小团队。他把自身定位成**专为企业创始人打造内容**的专业人士。他售卖的不是剪辑工时，而是一种结果：**帮你打造优质线上形象，全程无需你费心**。

第一个人售卖的是**时间**，第二个人售卖的是**成果**。

我曾经也以为技能就是一切。只要把一件事做到极致，财富自然会随之而来。人人都这么说，不是吗？踏实付出、精通本行，就能无可替代。

可事实证明，这大多都是谎言。至少是过度简化的鸡汤说辞，让无数有才华的人一直深陷清贫。

## 一万小时的神话误区
你大概率听过一万小时定律。马尔科姆·格拉德威尔在《异类》一书中将其发扬光大，核心观点是：任何人想要精通某个领域，都需要投入约一万小时的刻意练习。他还以披头士乐队、比尔·盖茨、国际象棋特级大师等人为例证。

这个说法很有说服力，甚至带着一种公平感：天赋没那么重要，努力才是王道，只要肯花时间，人人都能变得卓越。

但问题是，这并不完全属实，至少绝非全部真相。

首先，格拉德威尔所依据的是心理学家安德斯·艾利克森的研究，而原版研究远比“一万小时等于精通”要复杂细致得多。艾利克森本人也曾吐槽，格拉德威尔过度简化了他的研究结论。**练习的类型至关重要**：带有反馈的刻意练习，和机械重复做同一件事完全是两回事。大多数投入一万小时的人，根本算不上刻意练习，只是在不断重复自己早已会的东西。

而更关键、真正影响人生的问题在于：
即便你真的做到了行业精通，单凭技艺也绝不能保证成功，差距天差地别。

世上身怀绝技却生活拮据、满心不甘的人比比皆是：技艺精湛的音乐人只能靠打赏糊口，才华横溢的作家付不起房租，手艺顶尖的匠人只能和水平远不如自己的人低价内卷。

与此同时，有些人技艺远不如他们，收入却是十倍不止。不是因为能力更强，而是他们看透了**价值真正的流转逻辑**。

## 没人深究的杠杆思维
纳瓦尔·拉维坎特有一个观点，彻底重塑了我对工作的认知：**分清投入与产出的本质区别**。

大多数人看待工作，只盯着**投入**：我投入了多少时间？付出了多少努力？技能提升了多少？

但市场从不为投入买单，只为**产出**付费，更准确地说，只为**有人愿意买单的产出**付费。

关键点在于：技能和价值产出之间**并非线性关系**。技能翻倍，不代表价值翻倍；有时技能提升10%，价值毫无增长；还有些人看似技艺稍逊，却能创造更高价值，只因他们瞄准了真正有需求的痛点。

而**杠杆**，正是打破这种线性关系的关键。

杠杆拉大了投入与产出的差距：有人一小时只值20美元，有人一小时能值2万美元。它是绝大多数人只顾埋头练技能时，忽略的核心倍增器。

纳瓦尔把杠杆分为三类：
1. **人力杠杆**：雇佣他人为你工作。最古老的杠杆形式，王朝帝国皆由此建立，但管理难度最大，人的管理本身就十分复杂。
2. **资本杠杆**：让钱为你生钱。投资、资产等可以被动产生收益的东西。优势极强，但启动需要本金，容易陷入先有鸡还是先有蛋的困境。
3. **无边际复制成本的产品**：核心是代码与媒体。写一次软件就能永久售卖，创作一次内容就能无限分发。这是新时代门槛最低、最易上手的杠杆。

回头看那位技艺顶尖的剪辑师：**零杠杆**。纯粹用时间换金钱，每一分收入都必须亲自干活才能赚到。

而月入3万的普通剪辑师：手握多重杠杆。有团队做人力支撑，有成熟体系承接超出个人能力的客户，还在打造长期增值的个人品牌（媒体杠杆）。

基础技能相差无几，人生赛道却完全不同。

## 我们为何神化“技艺精通”
既然过了基础门槛后，杠杆比技能更重要，为什么所有人都执着于打磨技艺？

原因有三点：

第一，技艺精通自带浪漫滤镜。匠人倾尽一生雕琢手艺的画面，自带美感。我们偏爱这种极致专注、默默深耕的故事，而一万小时定律恰好契合这种叙事：伟大源于坚守，而非捷径。

不可否认，深耕技艺本身有意义，把一件事做到极致会带来内心的满足，多年专注练习沉淀的阅历与底蕴无可替代。

但**精神价值和经济收入从来不是一回事**。你可以深耕热爱却收入微薄，也可以薪资丰厚却内心空虚。对技艺精通的过度美化，往往让我们忽略一个现实：**只靠技能，远远不够**。

第二，打磨技能能清晰感受到自我成长。可以量化、看得见进步，这种成就感很直观；而搭建杠杆的过程往往混乱坎坷。

搭建杠杆需要主动社交，让人不适；需要主动展示自己，心生胆怯；需要搭建运营体系，繁杂难懂；需要战略定位布局，甚至会让只想踏实做事的人觉得功利别扭。

于是人们选择躲在舒适区里，一味打磨技能。就像不停打磨锯子，却始终没有真正动手伐木，看似忙碌精进，实则毫无产出。

第三，也是最不愿承认的一点：沉迷打磨技能，是在逃避真正的现实竞争。

如果你认定成功源于技艺精通、精通需要一万小时，那暂时平庸就有了完美借口：只是时间不够、练习不足、技能未精。

这会让人回避更尖锐的问题：我解决的是别人真正在意的痛点吗？我能触达精准的人群吗？我是只创造了价值，还是能留住价值？我有没有搭建起任何杠杆？

这些问题令人不安，因为闭门苦练无法给出答案。你必须主动融入市场、尝试未知、接受评判。

私下埋头练技能是安全的，公开搭建杠杆却充满未知与风险。

## “够用就好”的技能门槛
我发现一个颠覆传统认知的规律：
绝大多数行业都存在一个**技能够用门槛**。一旦跨过这个门槛，后续技能提升的收益会大幅递减，有时毫无收益，甚至得不偿失——你耗费时间精进多余技能，本可以用来搭建杠杆。

举个我自身的例子：
我做内容文案创作，刚开始水平很差，文笔生硬、立意老套、开头毫无吸引力。

后来我不断进步，水平大幅提升。但关键在于：**从差劲到够用，提升价值巨大；从够用再到顶尖，边际价值微乎其微**。

当我的文案水平跨过某个门槛后，客户根本分辨不出我和顶尖写手的文字差距。他们更看重的是：我是否懂他们的受众、能否准时交付、合作是否顺畅、内容能否带来实际效果。

这些和文笔技艺无关，只关乎定位、靠谱度和商业思维。

我认识不少文笔比我更优美、思想更有深度的写手，收入却不如我。不是市场不公，而是他们优化错了方向——执着于精进技艺，却忽略了杠杆与定位。

跨过够用门槛后，**精进技能无用，搭建杠杆才增值**。

## 杠杆进阶之路
落到实处，普通人该如何跳出无休止练技能的怪圈，搭建自己的杠杆？
我也仍在摸索，但总结出了五层进阶逻辑：

1. **第一层：练到够用即可**
需要具备基础底线技能，一无所有无从谈杠杆。一万小时定律并非全错，只是不够完整。只需练到能创造实际价值的门槛即可，多数行业根本用不上一万小时，几百小时针对性练习就足够，找对学习方向甚至用时更少。

2. **第二层：为特定人群解决特定问题**
这是多数手艺人止步的地方。永远只给自己宽泛标签：设计师、程序员、文案写手。这只是职业分类，不是个人定位。
定位的核心是精准聚焦，成为细分领域的首选：专为SaaS初创公司设计落地页、专为企业创始人写推文。领域越精准，细分赛道的杠杆优势越强。

3. **第三层：把个人服务产品化**
源自纳瓦尔的理念：把你的服务标准化。固定服务范围、统一定价、明确交付成果。不卖时间，只卖结果。
不要按小时报价“剪辑视频每小时50美元”，而是打包方案“30天全平台内容制作，一口价3000美元”。后者具备无限规模化的可能。

4. **第四层：搭建脱离个人也能运转的体系**
这是真正杠杆的起点。把工作流程标准化归档、拆分环节雇佣他人执行、制作模板和工作流，让产出翻倍却不用额外投入时间。核心目标：让自己从必选项，变成可选项。

5. **第五层：打造复利型资产**
终极目标。长期沉淀积累粉丝的内容、自动售卖的产品、持续增值的股权资产。这是普通高薪者和真正富足者的分水岭。

大多数人一辈子停在第一层，误以为精进技能就是唯一出路。殊不知，技能只是成功路上很小的一环。

## 现实的收益算账
我算过一组数据，彻底改变了我的认知：

假设自由职业者时薪50美元，勤奋接单每周最多工作30小时。
每周收入1500美元，月入6000美元，年收入72000美元。

收入不算差，但有天然天花板：时间永远有限。即便耗费数年把时薪涨到100美元，年收入封顶也只有144000美元，还会被无休止的工作耗尽精力。

换一种思路：不执着于抬高时薪，抽出时间搭建杠杆。

花100小时打磨一门专业课程，定价200美元。若后续几年有500人购买，100小时就能创造10万美元收益，折合时薪1000美元。

或是创办小型工作室，雇佣能力达到你八成、薪资只需你五成的员工。承接更多客户，由团队交付，赚取差价收益，收入不再被个人时间限制。

也可以持续分享经验积累粉丝，粉丝会成为你所有事业的杠杆：演讲邀约、商业合作、主动上门的客户、更高的报价，价值难以量化却真实存在。

杠杆的收益逻辑是非线性的，这是单纯打磨技能永远无法企及的。

我并非否定技能的价值，技能必不可少。但过了基础门槛后，**一小时用来搭建杠杆，远胜过一小时打磨技艺**。

## 我曾经踩过的坑
坦诚说说我自己的经历。

2023年我辍学创业，当时以为成功路径很简单：把专业能力练到顶尖，一切自然水到渠成。

于是我花了大量时间学习、练习、精进技艺。确实有进步，也接到了客户。

但很快就遇到收入天花板，和所有人一样，依旧在用时间换金钱。哪怕技艺比从前更好，依然困在同一种赚钱模式里。

真正的转折点，是我开始思考杠杆：如何不用增加工作时长，服务更多人？如何留住自己创造的价值？如何打造能持续复利的事业？

我依旧还在探索，并未完全通透，但仅仅转变思考方向，就改变了我的做事重心。

不再闭门一味雕琢技艺，把更多精力放在定位布局、搭建体系、积累受众、拓展合作上——这些才是真正能放大产出的事。

起初我心里很别扭，总觉得像是走了捷径，总以为真正的成功该靠纯实力打拼。

可这只是一万小时神话的洗脑：以为精通技艺就是全部。事实上，精通只是一部分，杠杆才是另一半核心。

## 精通技艺的陷阱
一万小时论调真正的危害在于：
它让你向内沉溺打磨，却忘了向外对接市场；让你固守自我沉淀，却不敢直面市场检验；让你执着追求完美，却不敢落地交付成果。

过度追求技艺精通，会变成一种逃避现实的避风港。无休止的自我提升，恰好可以不用面对市场、不用承受被拒绝的风险。

总觉得自己还能更好、还有更高技艺层级要突破。只要沉浸在精进里，就不用直面那些尖锐问题：我的能力是否被市场需要？我能否留住价值？我有没有打造长期事业？

一万小时定律给了人们原地内耗的理由：伟大需要时间，那就再耗一点、再练一会，总觉得自己还没准备好。

而那些技艺只有你一半、杠杆却是你两倍的人，早已把你远远甩在身后。

## 找到平衡的尺度
我不想过度矫枉过正，必须客观看待：

技能依然重要。靠手艺深耕带来的内心满足，是单纯追逐杠杆无法替代的；多年练习沉淀的阅历底蕴无可复制，技艺精通本身有着超越金钱的价值。

有些行业确实完全靠技艺顶尖变现：外科医生、职业运动员、专业钢琴演奏家等。这类行业顶尖从业者和普通人差距悬殊，实力差距能获得对等回报。

但绝大多数行业并非如此。只要跨过技能够用门槛，**定位、曝光、杠杆、人脉**的重要性都会远超技艺。

谎言从不是“精通技艺毫无价值”，而是“只靠精通技艺就能成功”。

完整的成功公式更接近：
**成功 = 达标技能 × 杠杆 × 定位 × 运气**

你需要足够的基础技能，但跨过门槛后，杠杆、定位等因素才是决定上限的关键。可惜大多数人只顾死磕已经够用的技能，完全忽略了其他核心变量。

写到最后，没有华丽的收尾，只想让你问问自己几个问题：

你所做的事，是否已经跨过技能够用门槛？如果没有，继续精进；如果已经达标，不妨停下无谓的内耗。

你的杠杆在哪里？如果明天你抽身离开，过往的工作能否持续产生价值？还是所有收益都必须你亲自在场才能维系？

你一直在追求“变得更厉害”，还是追求“变得更有价值”？这两者从不等同，偶尔重合，大多时候背道而驰。

一万小时定律之所以受人追捧，是因为它简单好懂：付出时间，就有结果。但现实世界从不是这套逻辑。

真正赢在最后的人，未必技艺最顶尖，而是看透并玩转了杠杆逻辑。

接受这个真相并不容易，我也曾难以释怀。但比起继续在错误的赛道里埋头狂奔，我更愿意看清真实的生存规则。

Almost every person I know at work either lives with their parents or have breadwinner spouses.

Most of the people at my job are men though, so their wives earn more.

Vote for the Democrats and get perpetual war inside of the country.
