1. In order to seize this trend, Tong Liya and Gao Xiaosong joined the "3 O'clock Sleepless" group, but Han Geng was kicked out

Recently, a "3 O'clock Sleepless" block "Chain Group" (hereinafter referred to as the 3-point Sleepless Group) has become popular in the investment circle!

According to China Entrepreneur Magazine, Sequoia Capital Shen Nanpeng, 360 Chairman Zhou Hongyi, angel investors Cai Wensheng, Xue Manzi and other investment circles are in this group, and even Gao Xiaosong, Tong Liya , Lin Yoona, Han Geng and other stars.

This WeChat group, created on February 11, reached the upper limit of 500 members in less than a day. During the Spring Festival, it is said that the total amount of red envelopes in this group reached one million. However, this is not the main motivation for celebrities and big shots to join the group. It is even forbidden to publish information such as currency speculation and ICO in this group. People in the group mainly learn about the application prospects of blockchain technology.

I noticed that according to the definition of "China's Blockchain Technology and Application Development White Paper" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, blockchain is a computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, and encryption algorithm. Innovative application models in the Internet era.

Blockchain technology is considered to be a disruptive innovation in computing models after mainframes, personal computers, and the Internet, and is likely to cause a new technological innovation and industrial change on a global scale.

Today, with the price of Bitcoin “cutting in half” from its peak, and the strict supervision of countries such as China, the craze for “virtual currency” has begun to dissipate. However, as the underlying technology, blockchain is expected to be widely used in finance, supply chain management, manufacturing, Internet of Things and other fields in the future.

The group once distributed over one million red envelopes in seven days

The "3 O'clock Sleepless Blockchain Group" was originally founded by Yuhong on February 11. Yuhong had previously He is the main person in charge of 360 Games and is now the founder of SEEU & QYGAME, which launched the large-scale online game "Basic World" based on blockchain.

Since it was three o'clock in the morning when the group was first established, it was named the 3 O'clock Sleepless Blockchain Group.

In this WeChat group, known as the No. 1 blockchain information group, there are Sequoia Capital Shen Nanpeng, 360 Chairman Zhou Hongyi, angel investors Cai Wensheng, Xue Manzi, Fenbushi Capital partners Shen Bo, and even stars such as Gao Xiaosong, Tong Liya, Lin Yuner, and Han Geng.

Xue Manzi, Li Xiaolai, Chen Weixing, Shuai Chu and others are the earliest participants of the blockchain. Xue Manzi invested in Quantum Chain, Bytom Chain, and Mo Chain. Li XiaoLai was the first person in China to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum. Chen Weixing also has his own fund and has invested in projects such as Huobi, Binance, and Tron. Shuai Chu is the founder of Quantum Chain.

Interestingly, the person who received the warmest welcome among those who joined the group was not the industry boss, but the film and television star Tong Liya. It is said that after Tong Liya was added to the group, there were hundreds of messages welcoming her to join. Tong Liya said that she is still a beginner in blockchain and hopes to learn more, and attached a big red envelope of 8,000 yuan.

Some inactive people in this group will be kicked out, such as Han Geng, No. 1 Matchmaker founder Mu Yan, Meitu CEO Wu Xinhong, etc. Those who remain in the group often engage in intense “mutual” discussions, and there are also some new members who are thirsty for knowledge and quickly absorb fresh knowledge about the blockchain.

On February 24, Chen Weixing in the group and Zhu Xiaohu, managing director of Jinshajiang Venture Capital, had a "mutual fight" around the blockchain.

The cause of the incident was that Zhu Xiaohu forwarded an article about blockchain in his circle of friends and said not to include him in various 3 o'clock groups. There are some outlets that he would rather miss, and there are some money that he would rather not make. Otherwise, the late holiday will not be guaranteed.

This statement immediately aroused Chen Weixing's refutation. Chen Weixing asked, is the method of cutting leeks in equity investment more advanced than that in the currency circle? Is the bubble in the entire blockchain industry as high as the global stock market bubble? Zhu Xiaohu responded that ICO, a model that tests human nature, has never been successful.

Don’t talk about currency speculation, just talk about blockchain

Yuhong and the first industry tycoons Xue Manzi and Chen Weixing to join the group jointly set rules in the group: It is strictly prohibited to post news about currency speculation, ICO, etc. in the group. Therefore, the main topic of group chat is the application of blockchain technology.

Guo Hongcai is a well-known figure in the currency circle. He doesn’t know much about blockchain technology, but he became a rich man through currency speculation. He was kicked out of the group for the second time because he said in the group, "I'm here to make money anyway. Talking about technology is really meaningless... The biggest application of blockchain is currency speculation." After being kicked out, Guo Hongcai was unconvinced and sulked in another group, "They never talk about making money, they are too vain."

China has always been at the forefront of regulating virtual currency speculation.

In September last year, China completely banned the domestic Bitcoin trading platform business. This regulation also has an impact on global Bitcoin transactions.

On February 5 this year, the People’s Daily published another article discussing “currency speculation” and believed that countries should strengthen coordinationunified supervision to prevent systemic risks.

People's Daily stated that in recent times, various conferences and exchange activities with the themes of blockchain, digital assets, and virtual currencies have emerged one after another, and crazes such as "coin speculation" and "disguised ICO" have also emerged one after another. Some people join the "coin speculators", hoping to obtain huge returns through short-term speculation. Since blockchain and virtual currency can transcend national boundaries, countries should strengthen coordinated supervision to prevent virtual currency transactions from causing systemic financial risks.

This is exactly what it is:

The virtual currency is booming,

and it is a series of sudden rises and sudden falls.

Beat the drum and spread the flowers, blow the big bubble,

There is an urgent need to regulate the cloud.

Blockchain has broad application prospects

According to the white paper of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, blockchain technology originated from a scholar with the pseudonym "Satoshi Nakamoto" published in 2008 The foundational paper "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System".

In a narrow sense, blockchain is a chain data structure that combines data blocks in a sequential manner in chronological order, and is cryptographically guaranteed to be non-tamperable and Unforgeable distributed ledger.

Currently, blockchain technology is hailed by many large organizations as a major breakthrough technology that will completely change the way business and even organizations operate.

The widespread application of blockchain technology can enable "decentralization" to be realized at low cost.

When we send an email, what the other party receives is actually a copy of the email, which allows the information to be spread quickly. However, this approach cannot be replicated in applications in finance and other fields. For example, when you pay 100 yuan to the other party, you cannot copy and paste the 100 yuan currency in your hand to the other party.

Therefore, in today's society, transactions involving cash, securities, intellectual property rights, patents, carbon emission quotas, etc. must be solved with the help of a huge central institution (bank, third-party payment platform, etc.) Trust issues will increase transaction costs and slow down transactions. For example, we can send an email in a minute, but a transfer within the same city may take several days. Transferring funds from one country to another comes with high fees.

Canadian blockchain expert Don Tapscott believes that blockchain technology willThe technology that changes the world and builds trust made simple and easy to understand. He said that the popularity of blockchain technology means that we may no longer need a powerful central institution as a credit medium in the future. This is the next generation of the Internet, one that has the potential to transform our money, trade, government, and society.

2. How to be a project owner in the currency circle

A reporter from China Securities News recently obtained a market value management plan for a blockchain project, which is claimed to be used to guide the project during the validity period of the plan. Currency management within the project includes the release of phased results of project development work, public relations strategies and behaviors, selection of exchanges, market making, price increase or suppression, and project party arbitrage.
Industry insiders pointed out that market value management plans are common in the industry and are just the tip of the iceberg of the chaos in the currency circle. In the blockchain ecological chain, participants such as exchanges, project parties, and institutions all have irregularities to varying degrees, and many investors have basically become "lambs waiting to be slaughtered." Blockchain technology should be a powerful tool to serve economic development, but many people use the banner of blockchain to actually engage in illegal fund-raising activities such as currency issuance. The industry is in chaos and requires regulatory intervention and regulation.
Fooling into the market
According to the above-mentioned market value management plan, the main goal of the first phase is to attract traffic to the project through a series of actions. The plan lists corresponding indicators, including 5 media publications, 2-3 online live broadcasts, 3-5 offline roadshows, 2-3 KOL (opinion leaders) speaking out, and a 50,000-person Telegram group. WeChat group of 2,000 people, community cooperation without KPI requirements, strategic cooperation with 5-10 companies, statistical list of the top 20 token holders; signed concerted action agreement with the top 20 private equity parties with token holders, Lasts for 1 month.
Blockchain media is the first to be affected in attracting traffic. The mushrooming development of blockchain media at the beginning of this year shows how hot the market is.
“You can get many project tokens for free by posting a soft article. And the cost of media in the currency circle is extremely low. You don’t need too many people, even one or two.” Chen Song, head of a blockchain media in Shenzhen (pseudonym) told a reporter from China Securities Journal that the popularity of the “3 O’clock Blockchain” community during the Spring Festival this year led to the emergence of a large number of blockchain media. During this period, blockchain media raised funds quickly, and several leading media companies obtained high valuations.
According to incomplete statistics from Zhilian Finance, in the first quarter of 2018 alone, 15 blockchain media received financing, including well-known names such as Babbitt, Bishijie, and Shenlian Finance, with a total financing amount of 245 million yuan. Among them, Babbitt received 100 million yuan in Series A financing in March.
A reporter from China Securities Journal noticed that a technology media originally announced its transition to blockchain reporting, and some even hired blockchain content editors with a monthly salary of more than 60,000 yuan. Ordinary blockchain conference exhibition boards can List hundreds of media outlets. "Many people don't understand the media at all, they just think it's a quick way to make money. They don't verify a lot of information, they only repost it and plagiarize it, causing rumors to fly all over the market." Chen Song said that many blockchain mediaBehind the website is actually the project party, who can not only promote their own projects, but also make profits by posting soft articles.
Zhang Yun (pseudonym), who previously worked for a blockchain media, said that blockchain media mainly attracts investors through content and then directs them to community operators. Analysts conduct "coin diagnosis" and analyze the market conditions of tokens. He won't sing too much explicitly, but will induce it in a subtle way. “Most of the analysts who appear are from the futures and stock trading markets. They are usually new to blockchain and are not professionals.”
Offline road shows and inviting “big V” platforms are indispensable steps. “In the past, when launching a project in the currency circle, we first found two big bosses to stand up for, and then conducted roadshows across the country. There were so-called proxy investors on site, and proxy investing could attract many investors.” Ren Gang, a senior blockchain entrepreneur (pseudonym) introduced that many investors actually do not understand the technology and applications of the project. They mainly depend on who comes to the platform. Usually the project's white paper is "endorsed" by relevant consultants, and these consultants receive benefits from the project side.
The most important result of attracting traffic is the establishment of communities, mainly WeChat groups and Telegram groups based on overseas social software Telegram. A reporter from the China Securities Journal noticed that usually there are five WeChat groups for a currency issuance project, and there are dedicated personnel to maintain them every day, and many of them have automatic replies from robots. “In the group, we mainly inculcate to investors that this coin will become a hundred-fold coin or a thousand-fold coin, and randomly post some transaction screenshots in the group to build momentum. In order to increase activity, the project team will also give away free tokens to investors. "Ren Gang said that the community not only plays a role in the early stage of the project, but will also help the project side "maintain order" in the later stage. “When the currency price plummets, investors are tricked not to sell, saying that it will be profitable later.”
“Harvest” investors
Once investors enter the market, what awaits them will be carefully planned by the project team "Harvest" plan.
The above-mentioned market value management plan shows that the second stage is the first month of being listed on the exchange. The main goal is to achieve a three-fold increase in the token price, and the project party sells about 10% of the number of tokens it controls. At this stage, it is still necessary to divert traffic, maintain the popularity of the previous period, and maintain the KPI of the previous stage. On the first day the project was listed on the exchange, the token price was 1.5 times the private placement price. The private placement price is defined as P, and the price fluctuates between 1.5P-2P in the first week. It is expected that some private equity parties and airdrops that have not signed an agreement will sell off at this time, and the retail investors attracted will digest this band. The quantitative team maintained the price between 1.5P and 2P, and the trading volume remained in the top three projects on the exchange; the price fluctuated between 1P and 2.5P in the second week; and the price in the third week was between 0.75P and 2.5P. The price fluctuates between 0.75P and 2P in the fourth week; the price fluctuates between 1.5P and 3P in the fifth week.
The third stage is the second month after listing on the exchange. The main goal is to list on one more exchange and two small exchanges, with the price fluctuating between 0.5P-2P. This stage allows the contracted private equity parties to ship goods and then absorb the goods at a price slightly lower than the private placement price on average.The fourth stage is the third month after being listed on the exchange. The purchase of goods has been roughly completed. A series of good news has been released. In cooperation with public relations, communities, and strategic partners, the price has begun to rise, and the price has fluctuated between 1P and 5P. Approximately 400 million tokens are shipped, the average shipping price is 3P, and approximately 30 million yuan can be obtained from sales.
Ren Gang introduced that the project team will hire a market value management team before the token is listed on the exchange. “First, you need to pay the equivalent of ETH (Ethereum) ranging from 2 million yuan to 10 million yuan, and promise to guarantee the minimum fee, as well as the income sharing, either 37% or 50%. If a project does not have a market value management team, The currency price will be smashed to nothing." He said that market value management generally adopts quantitative strategies, and the team makes buying and selling actions based on corresponding indicators on the market.
"At night, retail investors have gone to bed, and then the bankers can pull the market. When retail investors wake up in the morning and see the rise, if they follow up, the bankers will cut when they see the trend." Ren Gang said that another way to play is to smash the currency value to After two points, private equity and institutions continued to throw away their chips. “Continue to accumulate funds at low levels, start to pull up after taking complete control of the market, attract retail investors after pulling up, and then harvest retail investors at high levels, and so on.”
A reporter from China Securities News noticed that the manipulation mentioned by Ren Gang The trading strategy is basically supported by the aforementioned market value management plan.
Because the digital currency market is currently in a bear market, the prices of many tokens continue to fall, and investors have left the market in large numbers. Industry insiders joked that there are not enough "leeks". At this time, private equity institutions have become the "prey" of the project side.

3. What is the impact of the sharp rise and fall of Bitcoin in the Year of the Dog

Around the Spring Festival, the price of Bitcoin changed from the decline since the beginning of 2018, with an overall increase of 90%. On February 21 It rose to $11,720 on the day. Currently maintaining a consolidation position of around $10,000, it is time to re-select the direction.

In the short term, the current situation is much more optimistic than the previous range of 6,000-8,000 US dollars. But before the direction is determined, investors still need to be cautious.

However, it can be seen that various countries are becoming more cautious in their regulatory policies for cryptocurrency. Therefore, in the short term, the price of Bitcoin should not fall very sharply.

4. What is the best investment direction in 2018?

During the Spring Festival of 2018, the “3 o’clock sleepless blockchain” became popular in the circle of friends. "The world's first blockchain community" for blockchain entrepreneurs, Gao Xiaosong, Han Geng, Tong Liya and other artists. On February 26, "People's Daily" published a full page of articles related to blockchain. The full page reported three articles: "Three Questions about Blockchain", "Being a Leader in the Digital Economy" and "Seizing the Blockchain". "This opportunity" three questions about blockchain, the People's Daily publicly called for seizing the opportunity of blockchain. What is an opportunity? This is the best opportunity! If this is the chance God gives me in life, I will rush forward and seize it without hesitation.

5. The history of the birth of blockchain

Many people will be instinctively intimidated when they hear the word "blockchain", thinking it is an inscrutable content or a technology that has nothing to do with me.

2018 is the first year of blockchain technology. In the past Spring Festival, blockchain has become really popular. The "three o'clock sleepless zone" of the first blockchain community "Blockchain", articles from major media "How to introduce blockchain to seven aunts and eight aunts", novices from all walks of life are ready to enter the currency circle and try their best, etc.

We know that the Internet has connected the world over the course of decades. People don’t talk about whether the world is flat, because as long as you have a computer or a mobile phone, you are closely connected to the entire world. Elites are accustomed to calling the past Internet era the information Internet era.

With the advent of blockchain technology in 2008, humans were caught off guard and drawn into the world of bits. In the future, no matter whether you understand whether you know what blockchain technology is? Do you understand how digital virtual currency is implemented? They have all been coerced into the second era of the Internet: the era of value Internet. What you don’t know is how blockchain technology was born?

David Chaum, the "bishop" figure of cypherpunk in the 1980s and 1990s, invented the cryptographic anonymous cash system Ecash in 1990. Chaum believes that a distributed, truly digital cash system should encrypt people’s privacy.

British cryptographer Adam Baker invented Hashcash in 1997, which used the Proof of Work system. The proof-of-work system is one of the core concepts of Bitcoin.

In 1997, Harper and Stonitta proposed a protocol that uses timestamps to ensure the security of digital files. This protocol has also become one of the prototypes of the Bitcoin blockchain protocol. The biggest feature of timestamps is that when a virtual currency is traded, it is timestamped and it cannot be changed.

Cryptozoology expert Dai Wei invented B-money in 1998. B-money emphasizes point-to-point transactions and immutable transaction records, and every trader in the network keeps track of transactions.

In 2004, Hal Finney, a top developer at PGP Crypto Company, launched the electronic currency "Crypto Cash", which used a reusable proof-of-work mechanism (RPOW).

But their single invention and idea are still not enough to become a world-class virtual currency. Ecash declared bankruptcy in 1998; jobsThe proof-of-quantity system cannot guarantee whether the digital currency has been traded many times; the technical protocol of timestamp is only used on a small scale by the government; in the B.money system, David did not solve the problem of ledger synchronization; in the end, Halfini’s idea is still It is not enough to become a world-class virtual currency.

In 2008, when all technical conditions were mature and time conditions were mature, a god-level figure was still needed to answer a question: why did the previous virtual currency pioneers fail? The name of the person who answered this question is Satoshi Nakamoto.

He believes that the most important reason for the failure of previous virtual currencies is that they all have a centralized structure, and all transaction data will be aggregated into the company's data center, which is no different from government-issued currencies. Once the company that backs the virtual currency goes bankrupt, or the central server of the general ledger is compromised by hackers, the virtual currency will face the risk of collapse. Satoshi Nakamoto optimized David Chaum's Ecash, integrating timestamps, proof-of-work mechanisms, asymmetric encryption technology, and the structure of UTSO, and finally invented Bitcoin.

It can be seen that blockchain is not a single technology, it is a collection of a series of above-mentioned technologies. Bitcoin is just a typical example of the first large-scale application of blockchain technology. In the future, blockchain technology can be applied to many fields such as financial services and social life.

6. What happened to the big guys in the currency circle?

The big guys talk about the history and philosophy of the blockchain. It has not yet subverted other industries, but its own habitat has been Be the first to be subverted.

The standard-bearers in the currency circle have "moved" abroad one after another - such as Binance founder Zhao Changpeng, the first sister in the currency circle He Yi, Xue Manzi, Bao Erye, etc.

The best destination is Japan. At the same time, news that dozens of people in the currency circle have been subject to border control began to circulate among people in the industry.

The next resident in Japan is Changpeng Zhao, the founder of Binance - Xue Manzi even visited his office.

7. Blockchain drives the future: Can society really be programmed?

"Three o'clock" has been very popular recently, but what is even more popular is blockchain.

Since the "94 Incident", policies have become increasingly tight for the currency circle. In contrast, the "chain circle", which had rarely spoken out before, has become popular. Regardless of the media or the market, various voices discussing "blockchain" are emerging one after another in social circles large and small. Finally, during the Spring Festival this year, the popularity of "Sleepless at Three O'Clock Blockchain" brought this wave to its peak.

Finally, I would like to end with a quote from Zeng Ming (Chairman of the Academic Committee of Alibaba Group and Dean of Education of Hupan University), so that everyone can experience Teacher Zeng’s surging vision for the future:

p>

Today, IWhat we are doing is that before an economic ecology has been born, we need to write trust consensus into the program. What a ground-breaking thing this is! We are designing our own destiny! It's almost like we have a CRISP tool trying to encode genes. Just like the fundamental challenges that artificial intelligence encounters in cracking the human brain, the challenges of blockchain in designing the economic system that has evolved together with human society will also be fundamental and revolutionary. Because it directly faces human nature. Only by understanding Token at this level can we have enough awe and a true sense of mission for the historical opportunities and challenges we face.

8. How to remove the fake and preserve the true in the blockchain

The era of barbaric growth is coming, which is both 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 support ratioThe key to the formation of Bitcoin, and the reason why Bitcoin can be so effective 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. Bitcoin 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 these limitations of its own existence, in the face of complexIn 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 had banned the trading of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin and ICO, but the strong money-making effect has brought the currency speculation boom back to people's attention. 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, it has become a social norm to "process" public data. 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, in this huge data, there are some companies that join the blockchain ranks with the mentality of "getting a quick buck and leaving", which disrupts the normal development of blockchain in the market and further promotes 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 interest in blockchain.need. 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.
Furthermore, since the blockchain is still in its infancy, there are still many aspects that need to be improved. At this time, it is tentative for companies and investors to enter the blockchain. 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?
