在《Hidden Forces》第55集中，主持人Demetri Kofinas与Messari的Ryan Selkis探讨了如何通过构建所谓的代币筛选注册表，为加密货币领域带来全新的数据收集和分析水平。Ryan Selkis认为，通过更好的方式来收集、处理和存储关于加密经济的数据，他的团队正在打造一个开放数据图书馆和一套帮助研究人员、投资者和监管机构理解行业的筛选工具。

📊 Messari公司正在构建开放数据图书馆和筛选工具，旨在提高加密货币领域的数据处理质量。

💼 代币筛选注册表是一种去中心化的列表，代币持有者有内在的经济激励去审慎筛选列表内容。

🌐 Ryan Selkis提出，未来的加密货币领域的'Bloomberg'将是一个网络，而不是一个中心化的公司。

🔍 这种新型数据库有可能取代地球上所有商业化的、由私人拥有和运营的图书馆。

💡 Messari的工作旨在为新的金融系统构建数据库，利用全球70多亿人的网络和专业知识。

In Episode 55 of Hidden Forces, Demetri Kofinas speaks with Ryan Selkis about how his company, Messari, is bringing a new level of data gathering and analysis to the crypto space by building what are known as token-curated registries.

Information has become, quite literally, the currency of the digital age. Yet, even before the advent of cryptocurrencies, investors have always understood information to be a valuable asset. “The most valuable commodity I know of is information,” said the iconic Wall Street villain Gordon Gekko. However, information is a commodity, only in so far as it derives its value from the computational efforts of those who seek to process it. In a world of informational abundance, the quality of our computations, not their quantity, determine the scale of our harvest.

Ryan Selkis believes that harvesting, processing, and storing data about the crypto economy can be done better. His team at Messari is building an open data library, as well as a set of curation tools that will help researchers, investors, and regulators make sense of the industry.

Ryan has stated outright that the “Bloomberg of crypto will be a network, not a centralized company.” This is where his work on token-curated registries factors in.

“Token-curated registries are decentrally-curated lists with intrinsic economic incentives for token holders to curate the list's contents judiciously,” wrote Mike Goldin, in a 2017 article titled “Token-Curated Registries 1.0.” You could say that if Wikipedia and Bitcoin had a baby, the child would be a TCR. Such databases could theoretically replace all commercially curated, owned, and operated, libraries on earth, by offering a new set of economic incentives that harness the networks and expertise of the planet’s seven-and-a-half billion people.

In this week’s episode of Hidden Forces, Ryan Selkis joins Demetri Kofinas for a conversation about information, cryptocurrency, and how Messari is working to build the database for a new financial system.
