At the forefront of the crypto world, the recent offline meeting between CZ and Vitalik Buterin has become a hot topic. However, no one expected that the two influential figures in the blockchain world would discuss not technology or market strategies, but immortality.
At first glance, this topic seems a bit absurd. One is the helmsman of Binance who has just survived many storms, and the other is the soul of Ethereum who is depressed due to the sluggish market. At this moment, talking about immortality seems to be out of tune with the blockchain narrative they have focused on in the past. But if you think about it carefully, this is also a subtle inevitability.
CZ's situation needs no further explanation. Under the siege of regulation, Binance's future seems to be strong, but the outside world can feel the fatigue of holding on. After experiencing such a storm, people's mentality will inevitably change. Just as ancient emperors always turned to the pursuit of immortality after escaping death, CZ may also realize that power and wealth cannot escape the erosion of time. When he took a moment away from the torrent of the market and talked about "immortality", it might not be a joke, but more likely a challenge to the limits of human beings.
And what about Vitalik? As a genius in the crypto world, his life is almost tied to code and ideals. However, recently, the chill of the market seems to have pierced his shell. The debate in the Ethereum community, the doubts of the outside world, and the expectations of countless people have made the shoulders of this genius heavier. There is no "ordinary" in the world of geniuses. The torrent of pressure has made him depressed and even began to re-examine his life. Perhaps, discussing "immortality" is his escape from the future, and also a kind of expectation - if life is infinitely long, can those visions that seem impossible to achieve now find answers in endless years?
Of course, we cannot be naive to think that these two are simply discussing philosophical issues. Immortality is not a new topic in the field of science and technology. From biotechnology to artificial intelligence, from drugs that extend life to the theory of digital human consciousness, the concept of "immortality" is gradually being brought closer to reality. As top figures in the crypto community, their discussion of this topic may not be just idle chat, but they may be imagining the intersection of technology and life.
Just imagine if blockchain can empower biotechnology and provide a trusted underlying architecture for immortality; if the concept of "immortality" does not just belong to technology giants, but benefits more ordinary people through a decentralized approach - this may not just be science fiction, but may be the future discussed by CZ and Vitalik Buterin.
The finiteness of life is a reality that everyone cannot escape. In the world of CZ and Vitalik, they are always asking about "greater possibilities". Perhaps, when they talk about immortality, they are not talking about the fear of death, but how to use technology to subvert the cognitive boundaries of human beings again. After all, they have completed a revolution on the blockchain. Why can't the next ultimate question be life itself?
