莫名其妙的区块链焦虑

A. What is the blockchain craze and chaos?

According to reports, as blockchain has transformed from a cold and obscure professional term into a hotly debated " "Breaking popularity" trend, many merchants with a keen sense of smell are trying every means to seize the opportunity and use various fancy "hot spots" to take advantage of the opportunity to attract money. Behind the overwhelming pursuit of resources and capital from all parties, there may be a tangle of excitement and anxiety: seize the spotlight or pop the bubble?

Why is it so popular? It is reported that the "Traffic Ore Box" is an entry-level "mining artifact", which can be said to be mined using the sharing economy. It mainly collects and utilizes idle broadband resources and rewards users through the blockchain digital asset LLT of traffic ore. The digital asset LLT can be exchanged for shopping cards and recharged for electricity bills, phone bills, Internet bills, etc., to obtain certain real benefits.

Behind the heated discussion among the people, it is difficult to hide the entanglements and worries of all walks of life about the future fate of blockchain. "On the one hand, everyone realizes that blockchain has a promising future as a new technology and wants to seize the spotlight. However, because it is a new thing, there are also many uncertainties and there is a certain risk of bubbles." Industry insiders said frankly that in Under the background that blockchain technology is not yet mature, for some institutions that are "running into the game", how to cross the river by feeling the stones while being careful about "bad money driving out good money" deserves further thought and attention.

B. Struggle in First-tier Cities Why Are You Anxious

I don’t know since when, the most common word I hear and talk to people is anxiety.

Anxiety about buying a house, anxiety about getting married, anxiety about unemployment, and recently there is a new word called blockchain anxiety.

Anxiety is a normal physiological condition. Why is it so common in current Chinese society, especially in first-tier cities?

It is the Internet that amplifies our ambitions but hides our shortcomings.

In other words, on the one hand, the Internet has inflated us and created excessive self-expectations; on the other hand, it has made us lost and unable to see clearly our actual selves.

Every day on Weibo, we see all kinds of stars and celebrities, as if we are very close to them; in WeChat Moments, all we see are photos of famous brand bags and bags. Travel is as if you can have it at any time.

We receive a salary of several thousand yuan, but we worry about whether Jia Yueting will return to China and whether his FF91 can be a success in the headlines.

Each of us must have a few billionaire friends, but they are usually added through WeChat groups.

Jack Ma said that we have countless dreams at night. When we wake up in the morning, we forget them; at night, we start dreaming again.

The beauty that was originally out of reach seems to be within reach on social networks.

One day I was having dinner with a friend who works in a traditional industry. I said that we white-collar workers in first-tier cities earn salaries ranging from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, and wear famous brands in various high-end office buildings, but I I found that not many people around me were rich. He said,The Internet industry is all about pulling valuations, and there are thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Except for a few top giants, most of them are not in a satisfactory profit situation, and all they earn is a dream.

Everything you earn is a dream, but the Internet industry is a bubble industry.

So I posted a message on Moments: "We live in a bubble Internet era, so we have higher expectations for material things, feelings, and enjoyment. However, the Internet hides The gap between people, it seems that we are only one screen away from a small goal or those handsome guys and beauties, but in fact, the gap between us cannot be changed by buying a few Bitcoins or a beauty camera. . Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, you have spotted the opportunity, and you have to be strong enough to seize it. No matter how the trend changes, in all walks of life, the winner takes all; practitioners stand out with their professional ability and strength ."

This is the effect of social networks. We take for granted goals that are not ours, or that we should wait years to achieve.

With the huge gap between the actual self and the expected self, after we wake up from the dream, we are only anxious because we can't get it right. Just like if you understand all the business logic and learn all the practical skills, you can only be anxious and have no strength. In a short period of time, you will definitely not be able to achieve what you expect of yourself, so you can only be anxious day after day. , a waste of good time.

In such a bubble social network, in addition to dreaming, we will also ignore our own shortcomings. It's like going to college. Everyone looks the same. After graduation, you, as the leader in the class, find a decent salary with a salary of more than 10,000, while the unknown classmate in the class suddenly becomes For successful entrepreneurs, when you lament the injustice of the world, in fact, you were already very different when you were in college, but the fact was covered up. In social networks, this situation is even more serious. Everyone posts to Moments together, likes them together, posts on Weibo together, and posts beautiful selfies together. We are no different, but in fact our destinies are completely different.

I sometimes drive to the Vientiane World Shopping Mall. From the basement to the shopping mall, I see countless young faces on the crowded streets, full of youthful atmosphere. Most of them are wearing fashionable clothes and many luxury goods. It must cost several thousand yuan anyway (in medium-sized shopping malls, a piece of clothing ranges from several hundred to several thousand yuan). In this sunny afternoon, they all seemed to be the same. There was no difference. But when it got dark, some people drove their sports cars back to their mansions in the Bay Area along the seaside, while others squeezed onto Route 56. The bus quietly returned to the farmer's house in Baishizhou.

I have no intention of belittling or commenting on the lifestyle of young people. There is nothing wrong with living a more glamorous life and pursuing a high standard of life. Even if it means raising self-expectations, it can be called a dream. There is nothing wrong with it. , people always have some dreams, otherwise it is no different from salted fish. But if you ignore your own shortcomings, it is almost impossible to place your future on an illusion.Among the dreams that can be realized, after gradually recognizing the reality, in addition to anxiety, there is only regret.

When I started my business, investors introduced me to many big names, most of whom were real people; the investors themselves were already financially free, honest and upright, with an engineering background, and had achieved high-tech skills at Microsoft. Guan, he also created an overseas browser and gained hundreds of millions of users, and later transitioned into angel investment. One thing I experienced and learned from him is to be realistic and truthful. So I almost don’t bother these high-end connections. First of all, everyone is really unfamiliar, so it’s really not good for you to find others; secondly, you have nothing to ask others for, and you can’t do it yourself. If others want to help, they can’t help. . And I have never liked asking for help since I was a child. I just try my best to do things myself.

Later, my business failed. When I returned to work in the enterprise, I was a little overwhelmed at first. The rhetoric from that time seemed to still be ringing in my ears. We were going to do Series A, Series B, we were going to be listed, or at worst, we had to be acquired by a listed company. Those who have boasted are still there, but they will turn heads unless they succeed or fail. When I get up in the morning, the sun is still rising in the east, and the stocks of Tencent and Alibaba are still making great progress. Dust returns to dust, dust returns to dust, and the strong will always be strong.

For a while, I thought of something, and then when I met someone for dinner, I would say, "If nothing else, I really missed out on tens of millions, and it was all fat meat."

In the autumn of 2016, I went to Beijing to attend an investor meeting. After the meal, the boss quietly said, Liu Yimin, you can buy some Weibo stocks. After saying this, the boss smiled slightly. After I returned to Shenzhen from Beijing, I downloaded a software to buy U.S. stocks, but it was a bit troublesome to deposit money. Later, things got busy and I forgot about it. Today, two years later, Weibo’s stock has risen seven to eight times. I had some spare money at the time and couldn't afford tens of millions, but it was easy to buy one or two million, but I didn't buy it. I was sure it would go up. After all, the boss had spoken. With his connections and his own investment experience, there would be no problem. But I just didn’t buy it.

Later I figured something out, so what if I bought it. Buying it is nothing more than buying it for hundreds of thousands, and buying it is nothing more than selling it after it has doubled. Will I hold it until it reaches 7 times? impossible.

Similarly, if you buy Bitcoin today, will you hold it until it rises 1,000 times?

The vast majority of people are not avid speculators. We will neither ALL IN nor hold for a long time.

But if you have tens of millions, you are different. You can buy a few million and keep them.

So, your actual self, that is, your strength, determines the future, and it is not your expected self that determines your future.

Girls these days all feel that they can marry a rich and infatuated man, hoping that the other person will have a car and a house. According to incomplete statistics, an unmarried man with a house in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou is almost the same as nearly 100 If you match an unmarried woman, you have to be one percent of them to be successful; similarly, boys all hope to get rich overnight, hoping to seize the opportunity, hoping to get into the stocks of technology companies.Realization, but obviously, this probability is probably lower than 1%.

So, when we live in the illusion of social networks, it is easy for us to not see our own shortcomings clearly, and to imagine that the wealth possessed by a few talents is something we should take for granted, which undoubtedly results in The huge gap will make us more and more anxious day after day if we can't find a solution.

How to stop yourself from being anxious?

Since anxiety arises from the huge gap between the actual self and the expected self, we must first try to reduce this gap.

Recognize yourself, who I am now, and what kind of life I hope to have. It must be achieved step by step, and it can be achieved step by step, rather than reaching the sky in one step.

Social networks have given us speculative thinking, making us focus on the good things of others and ignore our own steps. So we should be ourselves instead of focusing on others. Neither the good nor the bad of others can change yourself. Only by being yourself can you get the life you want. Break free from the illusory online world.

When we hope to seize the trend and change our destiny, we must recognize the truth that no matter what the trend is, whether you do it or not depends on your own actual ability. For example, if artificial intelligence becomes popular, there may not be artificial intelligence talents on the market, but companies will also give priority to talents who have done well in other industries, rather than people who can’t do anything. It doesn’t mean that you are passionate, but you think artificial intelligence As long as it can make you a lot of money, it's your own ability and strength that are crucial.

So you need to improve your own strength and improve your actual self.

What is more important is that you should try your best to do what you are good at, give priority to your strengths, and then consider making up for your weaknesses appropriately. The world is very competitive. It is better to be proficient than to know nothing. The more obvious the professional division of labor in society, the more we need talents who are particularly proficient in a certain field.

As your actual self continues to improve, you will get closer and closer to your desired life. Not only will you not feel anxious, but you will feel that everything is at your feet.

Always remember, those who are constant are always strong. What you want must be achieved with strength.

When strength is insufficient, effort is greater than choice; when strength reaches a certain level, choice may be greater than effort. If you only believe that choice is greater than effort, then you may always be anxious and trapped in a situation where you see everything but can do nothing.

When you start taking action and are no longer anxious, you are already preparing and waiting for the next chance of success; it may be artificial intelligence, it may be blockchain, or it may be something else, but no matter it Whichever outlet appears, because you are excellent, you are capable, and you are ready, then come on, success will definitely belong to you. And those who understand better than you, who entered earlier than you, are probably just stepping stones for you, because they are just bubbles.

C. How to learn blockchain knowledge

When the districtAs blockchain technology becomes more and more popular, many people want to learn it because they are unfamiliar with it, but they don’t know where to start.

It’s like you have just paid the fee and have just become a disciple of a martial arts expert.

“Master, I want to become a martial arts master. Where should I start? Are you ready to learn?"

Your master pushed you out the door, "If you want to learn the dog-beating stick, go to Hong Qigong, if you want to learn the Six Meridians Divine Sword, go to Prince Duan, if you want to learn the Anran Xiaohun Palm, I want to go to Yang Guo, I want to learn the Sunflower Book, I want to go to Dongfang Bubai, I want to learn the Nine Swords of Loneliness, I want to go to Feng Qingyang.

It is really the master who leads you in, and practice depends on each individual.

From then on, master and apprentice were just strangers.

Today, I am still silently silent for thousands of years, hiding in this planet without calling for thousands of years.

On the way to learn blockchain, you must keep your eyes open and find a reliable blockchain teaching class.

Then you can enter the blockchain content platform and learn while practicing, the effect will be better!

D. The low-key rich people and anxious novices in the blockchain currency circle

The newly rich people and the anxious novices in the blockchain currency circle have a low-key relationship with each other

Since Bitcoin’s surge, blockchain has also stood in the forefront of public attention. After visiting dozens of communities, the author found that all the content about writing about blockchain technology is actually only read by a small group of people. People are not interested in the principle of how blockchain can achieve the decentralization of digital currency. Even What the basic blockchain is is sometimes poorly understood, but this does not stop the public from being enthusiastic about blockchain and various digital currencies.

Perhaps it is because I don’t understand and am full of curiosity that I am more likely to be deceived by various scammers into making uncut leeks. The tide of blockchain is rushing forward, and the living beings on the shore are really diverse.

The first type is the blockchain novice group.

Characteristics: Afraid of not being able to catch the fast train to riches, feeling anxious and nervous but feeling unable to do anything. They don’t know how to mine and earn coins, nor how to buy and trade in the market, nor even where the market is. Their understanding of blockchain and various currencies actually comes from envy and hatred because people around them became rich overnight by buying coins. The novice group seems to be eager to trade all the time, but they don't dare to make a move. Holding cash to wait and see makes them more and more anxious and nervous, afraid of missing out and a little afraid of losing money.

The second type is the blockchain project promotion crowd.

Features: Crazy joining groups to attract people and dump project links. The author found in various communities that most of these links are used to attract people to register on the condition of issuing digital currency or sending mining machines. Such people will join the group and attract people when they see them in social groups. They can be found wherever there are people. They are "working hard". What's more, if you create your own group and get enough people in, all members will be banned.After that, the group owner or administrator frantically dumps the link. The link content is basically a routine, with the project introduction plus the registration address, and the bait of giving away mining machines or coins upon registration. This kind of behavior that does not take into account the personal feelings of the group members is really incredible. This group of people knows a little bit about blockchain and the currency circle, but they don’t actually know much about technology. Some of them also hold the promoted project coins themselves, and feel a little relieved that they can join the game early, and firmly believe that the value will appreciate in the future and make a lot of money.

The third type is ordinary programmers who have early experience in entering the currency circle.

Characteristics: There are stories or experiences of mining coins. In terms of mentality, most people fall into the category of people who slap their thighs and regret. Since there was a certain technical threshold for coin mining in the early years, this group of people came into contact with coin mining very early because of their technical status. They are also early users of Bitcoin. At that time, they were mining coins, and they were very simple at heart. Some people brought their friends to dig with them, or even helped their friends dig (the friends didn’t understand technology, so they basically mined for their friends). When these people mine coins, they do not think that they may become rich one day in the future or even achieve financial freedom. Therefore, many people have already chosen to cash out when the price of Bitcoin reaches 200 to 600.

What’s dramatic is those people who don’t understand technology and have programmer friends mine for them. Some people sadly forget the keys to mine coins because they don’t understand technology or don’t care, or they lose their original keys. The system files left their Bitcoins frozen forever. Those who couldn't find them regretted and wanted to die, while those who found the keys or system files finally received high rewards. Programmers who cashed out early and people who forgot their keys or lost system files, after seeing the sky-high price of Bitcoin, they patted their thighs and regretted it, and at the same time they were ready to move, regretful and anxious.

The fourth type, the CEOs who operate the project

Characteristics: After seeing Bitcoin, the Ethereum bosses are making a lot of money and can no longer control their hearts. Excited, he quickly jumped into the rolling torrent. They have fantasies about the future, but also have anxiety after encountering supervision. But CEOs who really want to do something in the industry are actually more welcoming to supervision. Such groups consider more about the healthy and long-term development of the industry ecology.

The fifth type, business giants

Characteristics: Some business giants are cautiously waiting, some have already embraced it, and some have avoided issuing coins to try out blockchain technology. Wide range of applications of smart contracts. Wanda’s recent deployment on the blockchain has been widely reported by the media.

The sixth type, investment tycoons

Characteristics: Low profile has become synonymous with them. They rarely brag about how much money they have made on Bitcoin, but they also rarely mention how much they have been cheated.

As investment tycoons with a keen sense of smell, any new trends are the focus of their attention, many of them not only observe calmly with the eyes of bystanders, but also silently pay attention to seed companies with real potential. This group appears to be very low-key on various occasions.

The seventh type, media from all parties

Characteristics: strive to supplement basic knowledge of blockchain and track various materials in the currency circle. This group can be simply divided into two camps. Some are dedicated to pure information reporting and in-depth industry analysis. They use a third party's perspective to see and interpret various phenomena that occur in the industry. The other camp chooses to endorse new things. Of course, they often use critical and skeptical thinking to discover the real and reasonable applications of blockchain.

The rolling tide is coming, and all living beings are in various forms. How to understand the blockchain currency circle? How to avoid scammers in the currency circle? The next article on the Blockchain Bubble Headlines and WeChat public accounts will present the current deceptions and routines in the form of examples.

In the end, there is the same saying, listen to both and you will be enlightened, and listen to one side and you will be dark. I only represent the views of Blockchain Bubble and cannot be used as investment guidance for you.

E. What is blockchain, and are there any product cases?

Blockchain refers to decentralization and trustlessness. A technical solution to collectively maintain a reliable database.
In layman’s terms, blockchain technology refers to a way for all people to participate in accounting. There is a database behind all systems. You can think of the database as a big ledger. Then who will keep this ledger becomes very important. Currently, whoever owns the system keeps the accounts. Tencent keeps the accounts of WeChat, and Alibaba keeps the accounts of Taobao. But now in the blockchain system, everyone in the system has the opportunity to participate in accounting. If there are any data changes within a certain period of time, everyone in the system can do accounting. The system will judge the person who has the fastest and best accounting during this period, write his recorded content into the ledger, and record this Within a period of time, the contents of the ledger are sent to all other people in the system for backup. In this way, everyone in the system has a complete ledger. In this way, we call it blockchain technology.
Nowadays, blockchain technology is very popular, especially in the financial world. Ant Financial, Laikelib, Wanda, Ping An, Minsheng, etc. have successively tested blockchain projects, and European crowdfunding is even more popular. Be at the forefront of utilizing blockchain technology. The most successful case is digital currency!

F. How to relieve stress when anxious and irritated

Last night’s battle of “Ore World” broke the tranquility of the bear market that has been silent. The people in Circle B, who had already been crushed by the big bear and were paralyzed, suffered another serious injury that was worse than death.

When gods fight, fish and shrimp suffer. We, the little fish and shrimps who are just hanging around in Circle B, live in fear and fear, and when we are under great pressure, we are on the verge of severe depression, and we often swim in anxiety and irritability.

The dream of wealth and freedom has already helped Yao reach nine levels.Thousands of miles gone.

Nowadays, due to the popularity of blockchain technology, there are some blockchain games that are a good way to relieve stress.

It is low cost and convenient. As long as you download an APP to your mobile phone, you can play two games at any time and relax.

G. Risks and Anxiety of Blockchain Investment

In this era of inflation and worthless money, how to protect your assets? For ordinary people, the best choice is probably investment. Generally speaking, investment can be buying stocks, funds, or real estate.

By the way, starting a business or opening an individual store is also a bit of an investment, but this kind of investment is extremely risky and has a probability of failure of more than 90%. Starting a business and opening a store is more about investing in individuals and trying out personal development directions. As far as asset investment is concerned, there is a narrow escape.

Investment should be "life +", life is the foundation. "Life + investment" is to make the future more promising, to invest existing assets in the future, so that there will be a better asset return expectation in the future. However, due to cognitive limitations in risk tolerance, asset investment ratio, investment knowledge, etc., investing is often a very torturous thing. Emotions fluctuate with the market, and often even seriously affect life...

How to solve the anxiety caused by investment? Since participating in blockchain investment, I have experienced many huge fluctuations in the market and suffered mentally. The following is my personal understanding.

1. Stick to the two iron laws of investment

When investing, you should first follow the two iron laws.

Iron rule 1: Invest your spare money and you can afford it even if it goes to zero.

Under normal circumstances, this seems to be easy to do, and it doesn’t even feel like it. That's because: Blind confidence, and the knife hasn't cut into the flesh yet!

When you first start investing, you are quite confident. You think you can make money, otherwise you would not take the risk. But when you have good expectations for the market and think that you will definitely make a lot of money, you will quickly forget this iron law, then abandon it, invest more assets, or even borrow money to invest.

The market is always volatile, often very volatile. When there is floating profit, everything is not a problem. Once a loss occurs, the pain will only be felt when the knife actually cuts into the flesh. Due to loss aversion, the mentality will immediately fluctuate. Even if you invest spare money, you will feel disappointed, which will affect your life. If it is borrowed money or the proportion of investment assets is too heavy (for example, more than 70%), it is impossible to treat it calmly, let alone accept it if it is returned to zero.

Therefore, don’t overestimate your affordability, let alone your investment ability! Otherwise, once a loss occurs, it will inevitably affect theto life.

Iron Rule 2: Be friends with time and make long-term value investments.

Investment has always been a long-term matter, 1-3 years is considered short-term, and 5-10 years is considered medium-term. If you are optimistic about an investment project, you must give it time to "grow" before it will bear fruit and eventually reap rewards.

Most people who have just entered the investment field are impatient and want to see "results" immediately. This is not investment, it is speculation. It is like going to the gambling table. You can see the outcome and lose immediately, and experience ecstasy or disappointment.

During this time of participating in investment, I have gradually understood a truth: most people, including myself, are gamblers with a speculative mentality from the beginning. This kind of gambler's mentality regards investment as a bet, and is eager to make a profit. It monitors the market every day and inquires about various news, for fear of missing hundreds of millions...

Those who frequently trade in the stock market People who operate short-term actually regard stock trading as gambling and want to benefit from every small band. As a result, they are harvested by professional institutions.

The success of investment should be a combination of vision (value judgment) + time + luck. Analysis and judgment before investment are crucial and are the prerequisite for final harvest; time is the process of waiting for value to grow; luck is an unpredictable or uncontrollable result.

If you don’t have a clear understanding of the value of the projects you invest in, and you can’t do it in the long term, then in the following days, your heart will fluctuate with the market fluctuations every day. Occasionally happy, occasionally disappointed, overjoyed or sad, your emotions are almost affected by the market.

2. Stop as soon as you get good, your ability to bear is limited

When facing losses, at the beginning we abide by the iron rule "it is acceptable to return to zero". This is in the mentality Get yourself vaccinated in advance. Without this vaccination, you may be unable to bear the pain of loss and cut off your investment, that is, you will be out of the investment early. Of course, if you see clearly that there is something wrong with the product you invested in, and it may be reset to zero, then even if it is a cut, you must exit in time to strive for the least loss.

There is another common situation. Even if you make a profit, it often makes people anxious, especially when the market falls and the floating profit decreases, it is even more anxious.

Why does floating profit still make people anxious? Because I don’t know when the peak will be.

In this process, there are probably four situations: the first is selling too early, the second is selling at the right time, and the third is missing out because of indecision. The fourth best selling opportunity is to remain unmoved and resolutely not sell.

What’s funny is that at least 90% of people are the third type! rising in the marketIn the process, they are anxious in joy, blind in anxiety, and the greed of human nature pushes the market higher and higher. In the end, the bubble bursts and there are chicken feathers all over the place...

From the results, the fourth type of people The result is the same as the third type of person, they both failed to sell and missed the best opportunity to ship. But the difference is that the fourth type of people are voluntary, wavering and anxious in their belief in "long-term value investment"...

It is necessary to understand the second iron rule of investment "Be friends with time" , make long-term value investment" and talk about it. Since it is a long-term value investment, when the market conditions are good or bull market, should we not operate and achieve the fourth type of "unmoved and determined not to sell"?

It can be said that many people persisted in the belief of "long-term value investment" during the rising market, but after the market crash, they fell into complete confusion and depression. We think we can withstand this kind of pressure. In fact, when the market falls, most people find it difficult to bear the pressure of missing the best opportunity, and their anxiety affects their lives.

The main problem here is: because it is "long-term and long-term", it does not know how to be flexible and will not make appropriate adjustments according to its own situation.

It is understandable for professional investors not to be affected by market fluctuations and to invest firmly in the long term. But as ordinary people, when faced with earnings that exceed expectations, we can adapt appropriately. The specific approach is: to achieve expected profits and ship in batches. During the entire upward process, shipments were controlled at 20%.

This strategy can, firstly, realize profits and recover investment costs; secondly, it can keep most of the assets still involved; thirdly, once the market changes, part of the profits can be preserved and funds can be bought at the bottom. .

Therefore, in rising markets, do not rigidly adhere to "long-term investment." You should accept it as soon as it is good and cash out the profits in a timely manner. When the market changes suddenly, your heart will be able to withstand the anxiety without affecting your life.

3. The ability to make money off-site is more important

Investment involves a lot of luck. Sometimes even if you do a lot of things right, luck may not be on your side. If all financial issues are bet on investment, it will be difficult to accept the "return to zero" result during the investment process, and it will also be difficult to achieve "long-term".

In reality, the most common thing is that many people place their wealth hopes on investment and have excessive expectations. This is especially true in the field of blockchain investment. Excessive expectations will naturally make people fall into a state of "superstition" and madness, thus forgetting the principles of investment.

Even in a new market full of dividends due to technological changes, it is impossible for most people to make money. On the contrary, 90% of people are often harvested. Of course, people who can abide by the iron laws of investment can basically avoidIt is difficult not to make money if you are lucky enough to avoid the fate of being harvested. However, the vast majority of people cannot do it. The fundamental reason lies in the difference between speculation and investment.

Another big feeling I have about investing is that most people are not suitable for investing (including myself at this stage), do not have the ability to invest (financially and intellectually), and do not have the mental capacity to cope with the investment challenges. Feelings of stress and anxiety.

A qualified investor should have good ability to make money off the market, and secondly, be able to face the profits and losses caused by investment calmly. When you don't have this ability, it's not that you can't invest. You should invest the funds that you can really bear to return to zero. At least this way you can live a good life.

Don’t rely on investment to achieve financial freedom quickly, otherwise your mentality will be unbalanced. Only those with sufficient ability to make money off-site will be indifferent when faced with investment profits and losses. Profit is a reward for yourself, and losses can also be tolerated.

4. The madness and rationality of blockchain investment

There have been many investment bubbles in emerging industries in history, such as real estate investment, stock investment, Internet investment... Every time people Everyone thought they had found the road to freedom of wealth, and many people participated in it crazily, but in the end they were all in trouble...

This time, blockchain investment is even crazier and more irrational. Does it mean that once Is a new giant bubble forming? An interesting point is that the blockchain bubble has burst several times, but each time it rebounded more strongly, forming a bigger bubble... Bubbles are not without value, nor are they equivalent to Ponzi schemes, but they mean that there are too many different Rational investors flocked in and overestimated asset values ​​in the short term.

The value of blockchain is that it solves the credit problem and greatly reduces the cost of transferring assets to zero. Although blockchain technology has not yet been widely used and the actual social value it brings is not high, it is foreseeable that it will have great social value in the future.

As far as investment is concerned, no matter how valuable blockchain technology is, only a very small number of people will benefit in the end, and the vast majority of people will be harvested leeks! From the perspective of human nature, the vast majority of people will always chase the highs and sell the lows, make irrational investments, and ultimately be harvested. The value of the blockchain has nothing to do with it. The formation of bubbles is due to human greed.

Blockchain investment faces much greater variables than traditional investment, and often fluctuates greatly. This situation greatly tests people's mental strength. What’s even more frightening is that due to the current lack of supervision and regulation of blockchain investment, the influx of a large number of unqualified investors has greatly aggravated the formation of bubbles.

Only by rationally seeing the huge risks involved and insisting on: abiding by the iron law of investment, closing when good times come, and maintaining the ability to make money off the market can we avoid this situation.They were harvested in the bubble and even obtained super high returns.

H. How to remove fakes and preserve authenticity in blockchain

The era of barbaric growth is coming It is an opportunity and a challenge for the blockchain.
In recent years, blockchain has gradually developed into a hot topic. Especially in 2018, which has just entered, the concept of "blockchain" has appeared frequently in the business world. So what exactly is blockchain? Why is Liang Shiqiao, an entrepreneur and capitalist, so concerned?
Previously, many people thought that there was an equal relationship between blockchain and Bitcoin, but after in-depth understanding, they discovered , this is a wrong idea. To put it bluntly, blockchain is a distributed ledger, and Bitcoin uses blockchain technology to improve itself.
Blockchain is a decentralized technology, just like a country. In this country, the distribution of data information and rights between people is the same, and there is no falsification of data. It is possible and impossible to lose. The two major advantages of sharing mechanism and value exchange are the power of blockchain.
Is blockchain becoming a new trend after Bitcoin?
As early as 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published an article titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" on the forum. The concept of blockchain was first proposed in the article.
However, there have been constant controversies since the emergence of Bitcoin. The loudest opponents are Warren Buffett and Robert Shiller. Buffett, known as the "Stock God", made it clear that Bitcoin "will definitely not have a good outcome in the end." Of course, there are also voices of support. Wall Street tycoon Jamie Dimon believed that Bitcoin was a scam a year ago, but now he has overturned his previous view and believes that blockchain is real. Regardless of the final outcome, the development of Bitcoin has attracted more and more attention in recent years.
In 2013, Bitcoin skyrocketed 100 times from being worthless at the beginning. However, in the next two years, Bitcoin showed a sharp decline again. In 2014, it fell by no less than 70%. In 2015, it fell by more than 20% again. By 2016, Bitcoin entered an upward stage, and by 2017, it was resurrected. This roller coaster development not only brought losses to people, but also attracted more attention to the blockchain.
People love and hate Bitcoin. When Bitcoin becomes popular, as the core foundation and underlying architecture of Bitcoin, blockchain is gradually attracting people's attention. Blockchain is the key to supporting the formation of Bitcoin. The reason why Bitcoin can achieve such results is inseparable from the blockchain. Since every transaction in Bitcoin is recorded in a block-by-block ledger, this ledger is decentralized, and the blockchain serves as the "role" of the Bitcoin ledger. BitcoinIt can be said to be the best application of blockchain, bar none.
Some time ago, Xue Manzi acquired this domain name, and in this transaction, Xue Manzi used Bitcoin to complete the transaction. This incident caused quite a stir in the circle. Recently, the frequency of use of Bitcoin in domain name transactions has been increasing, and what caused this phenomenon is the importance that capitalists attach to blockchain.
Previously, blockchain was only used by Bitcoin, but in recent years, as Bitcoin gradually spreads around the world, blockchain has begun to be applied in various projects, such as Ant Financial, JD.com, Internet and Tencent have gradually begun to apply blockchain technology. The authenticity and non-tampering nature of blockchain makes its application in other projects such as public welfare even more convenient. For example, Ant Financial has applied blockchain technology in "Hearing-impaired Children Regain a New Life", Tencent has launched the "Public Welfare Tracing Chain" and so on. By 2017, blockchain has begun to be widely used and has gradually formed a new trend.
The era of barbaric growth is coming, which is both an opportunity and a challenge for the blockchain
There is this sentence in Dickens's "A Tale of Two Cities": "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was wisdom. This is an era of stupidity. People have all kinds of things in front of them, and people have nothing in front of them; people are going straight to heaven, and people are going straight to hell." Just like the blockchain, if you do it well, you will be the pioneer who participates in the changes of the times. Do it poorly and you will perish.
Today, the blockchain is facing such a situation: the rapidly developing society and the emerging enterprises have brought many possibilities to the blockchain, which has attracted more attention and accelerated the development of the blockchain industry. The enterprise application of blockchain may usher in a new era.
Blockchain can be roughly divided into three types: private chain, alliance chain and public chain. Each blockchain corresponds to different scenario applications. The most critical difference between these blockchains is the degree of decentralization. Limit scope. Blockchain is also widely used due to its distributed recording of data, data cannot be tampered with, and is open and transparent. Different from the transmission of information on the Internet, the blockchain is the transmission of value, which can be said to be an upgrade of the Internet. Based on this, blockchain is considered to be another central technology that is very likely to cause a disruptive revolution after steam engines, electricity, and the Internet.
But the blockchain is not omnipotent:
Firstly, there is delay in the blockchain. Take transactions in Bitcoin as an example. Its effectiveness is affected by network propagation and takes ten minutes to complete. Be informed and recognized;
Secondly, the blockchain itself does not have the two functions of "modify" and "delete", which makes post-processing very troublesome if errors occur when recording data.
In addition to its own limitations, in the face of the complex enterprise market, blockchain, which has gradually become the new darling of the market, has also led to a series of "accidents" such as "coin speculation" and "pseudo-blockchain". .
In September last year, the country banned the trading of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin and ICO, but the strong money-making effect makesThe currency speculation craze is back in people’s sight. First, Xunlei launched Wankecoin (now called LinkToken) in October, then Renren released the blockchain project "Renrenfang" and the token RRcoin, and Kodak launched Kodak Coin. Many companies have entered the blockchain development industry. currency, which makes the phenomenon of "coin speculation" sweep across again.
Currently, there is no shortage of money-making projects on the market. Companies are mixed in the blockchain application market. It is difficult for investors to distinguish the pros and cons of projects, and there are even situations where bad coins drive out good coins. In the market, "processing" of public data has become a social norm. For example, in order to attract more consumers and capitalists, companies will modify the data they publish accordingly to attract users to choose and Corporate investment.
In addition, some companies are trying to make money in the name of blockchain. After seeing the benefits brought by blockchain, some companies rushed to enter the market before they understood the operation of blockchain in order to be the first to enter this trend and obtain high profits; some even used blockchain gimmicks to do so. Make money wantonly and retreat quickly after obtaining high profits. This blind application of blockchain has caused some companies that really want to apply and develop blockchain to gradually withdraw from the market, while some companies that mainly focus on making money are still active in the market, which has greatly affected the development of blockchain. normal development trajectory.
Although the blockchain has the core technology to create new trends, because it is still in its infancy and is not mature enough in all aspects, it will still bring about various problems such as "coin speculation", which have become obstacles to the blockchain stumbling blocks to chain development.
Will the increase in entrants accelerate the bursting of the blockchain bubble?
Relevant data shows that from November 2015 to December 2017, the growth rate of blockchain-related occupations reached 631%. However, among this huge data, there are some companies that join the blockchain ranks with the mentality of “getting a quick buck and leaving”, disrupting the normal development of blockchain in the market and further promoting the bursting of the blockchain bubble. 's appearance.
Different from previous years, blockchain has developed very well in recent years, and its application scope has expanded to various fields such as finance, education, government, cloud computing, medical care, and insurance. As the number of entrants gradually increased, many irrationalities appeared in blockchain applications, causing batches of contestants to withdraw.
Recently, a WeChat group called "Blockchain without Sleep at Three O'Clock" has aroused heated discussion. In this group, some well-known people from the industry gathered to talk about blockchain and Bitcoin day and night. Have an in-depth discussion. Among this group of people, blockchain has basically become their “belief”. It seems that if you don’t understand blockchain, you will be eliminated by the times. This kind of blindly following the trend reflects not only people's anxiety about the development of the times, but also the market's strong demand for blockchain. Furthermore, the recent popularity of blockchain concept stocks has triggered more and more investors to enter the blockchain market, causing the blockchain market to expand rapidly and create bubbles.
And, since blockchain is still in its infancy, there are still many aspects that need to be improved., and at this time, the entry of enterprises and investors into the blockchain has a tentative meaning. Blockchain, a technology with revolutionary significance for the times, still needs to be gradually developed. Moving forward rashly will only push the blockchain that is originally on the right track further.
Regarding the understanding of the development of blockchain, Gartner consulting firm has previously analyzed relevant aspects: a new technology basically goes through five stages, namely the embryonic stage, the popular expansion stage, the bubble bursting stage, and the upward recovery. period, maturity period. According to Gartner's analysis in 2016, blockchain is already in a period of inflated expectations. At this time, it is in a period when the bubble is about to burst, and it will take 5 to 10 years before blockchain reaches maturity. .
Will blockchain become the key to the era of change?
2017 can be said to be the year of the explosion of blockchain, with various capitals getting involved in blockchain. Although it has brought many problems to the market, the role of blockchain in market development cannot be ignored. Recently, "Three Questions about Blockchain (Economic Hotspots)", "Seizing the Opportunity of Blockchain", and "Being a Leader in the Digital Economy" published in the "People's Daily" clearly stated the impact of blockchain on various fields of the market. important role.
Issues such as delay, "pseudo-blockchain", and "coin speculation" will further attract people's attention after the blockchain bubble bursts, and more standardized market development will occur. Today, blockchain is still in its infancy. As more and more entrants enter the industry, a blockchain bubble is inevitable in the future. But after the bubble, blockchain will bring a disruptive experience to the market and usher in a new era.
Blockchain itself emphasizes "decentralization". In order to meet the ever-changing real needs, blockchain is upgrading to "multi-centering", which will completely break the data "island" and achieve comprehensive interconnection of information. situation. It can strengthen the trust security system, improve transaction efficiency, and meet the application needs of the increasingly developing era.
In short, the explosion of blockchain is inevitable. Its decentralized nature avoids the monopoly of Internet giants and brings development opportunities to many entrepreneurs and investors. But at the same time, based on blockchain, it can reduce transportation costs, is open and transparent, cannot be tampered with, has strong permeability and other properties, and is more convenient for market management. In the future business world, there will be a blockchain era that "removes fakes and preserves authenticity" .
