PANews reported on August 22nd that Tangent co-founder Jason Choi stated on social media that despite recent progress in public acceptance of Bitcoin and Ethereum and a favorable regulatory environment in the United States, the entire Web3 field has stagnated. He pointed out that many people who actively built and invested from 2018 to 2020 are now disappointed, believing that the industry lacks exciting innovation. Compared to the experimental spirit of the ICO era or the DeFi summer, the market today is more inclined to chase narratives than products. For example, the valuation of AI-related cryptocurrencies is based more on narrative than on technological development. The market rewards this behavior, leading to a surge in projects lacking substance and further exacerbating the hollowing out of the industry. He believes that the current crypto ecosystem is experiencing a kind of "nihilism," with many investors even viewing "income" as a narrative rather than a business necessity. Jason predicts that as the industry experiences more failures and reshuffles, Web3 may see a recovery, but before that, the market needs to undergo a thorough adjustment. According to previous news, Tangent Lianchuang: BTC is now more affected by external factors such as ETFs and macroeconomics, and we cannot blindly follow market sentiment .PANews reported on August 22nd that Tangent co-founder Jason Choi stated on social media that despite recent progress in public acceptance of Bitcoin and Ethereum and a favorable regulatory environment in the United States, the entire Web3 field has stagnated.

Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future

The post Cashing In On University Patents Means Giving Up On Our Innovation Future appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. “It’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress,” writes Pipes. Getty Images Washington is addicted to taxing success. Now, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick is floating a plan to skim half the patent earnings from inventions developed at universities with federal funding. It’s being sold as a way to shore up programs like Social Security. In reality, it’s a raid on American innovation that would deliver pennies to the Treasury while kneecapping the very engine of our economic and medical progress. Yes, taxpayer dollars support early-stage research. But the real payoff comes later—in the jobs created, cures discovered, and industries launched when universities and private industry turn those discoveries into real products. By comparison, the sums at stake in patent licensing are trivial. Universities collectively earn only about $3.6 billion annually in patent income—less than the federal government spends on Social Security in a single day. Even confiscating half would barely register against a $6 trillion federal budget. And yet the damage from such a policy would be anything but trivial. The true return on taxpayer investment isn’t in licensing checks sent to Washington, but in the downstream economic activity that federally supported research unleashes. Thanks to the bipartisan Bayh-Dole Act of 1980, universities and private industry have powerful incentives to translate early-stage discoveries into real-world products. Before Bayh-Dole, the government hoarded patents from federally funded research, and fewer than 5% were ever licensed. Once universities could own and license their own inventions, innovation exploded. The result has been one of the best returns on investment in government history. Since 1996, university research has added nearly $2 trillion to U.S. industrial output, supported 6.5 million jobs, and launched more than 19,000 startups. Those companies pay…
