Blockchain "over the fire": before the 90s, the gamer turned "chain people"

“If you walk into a coffee shop in the center of Beijing, you will hear that someone is discussing the blockchain with a probability of more than 50%.” After 90, Wan Yang (pseudonym) is the head of technology development for a medium-sized token trading platform. When it comes to the topic of blockchain, his expression is slightly helpless.

At the beginning of 2018, with the attention of various capitals and well-known venture capitalists, the blockchain's fiery heat was far from being dull by the regulatory authorities' continuous rectification of the first token issue.

Discussing the increasingly fierce B-side, when the phenomenon of token issuance and trading in the name of the blockchain is not cured by attaching overseas trading platforms, the effect of the richness of the currency and the speculative coin is attracting more non-professionals to join. In the discussion, even a lot of speculators have not figured out the difference between blockchain and bitcoin.

According to a survey of 21st Century Business Herald reporters, behind the blockchain's excessive “hot”, there are both bold ideas for practitioners to interact with the next generation of Internet information credits, and bitcoin has risen rapidly in recent years, eager to seize the “window”. The psychology of getting rich quickly; however, many participants can't avoid the fact that the publicization of blockchain still has a certain degree of paradox between application scenarios and token issuance.

The mystery of "over the fire"

In the WeChat, there are countless blockchain discussion groups being organized every day. There are countless forums and seminars under the line. The entrepreneurial projects related to the blockchain and the self-media have also sprung up. There are indications that the blockchain heat is far from dissipating.

But why the blockchain has suddenly exploded in the last year, which is a question that most participants have not delved into. In this regard, even many technical people who have studied the blockchain for many years are also confused.

Some researchers who have been researching in the blockchain field for many years in the field of distributed network systems have been continually “joining” their projects and issuing money in the past year.

In Wan Yang's view, the root cause of the current blockchain boom still stems from the recent surge in Bitcoin. Despite the adjustment period, Bitcoin has risen from $0.0025 per piece in 2010 to $9,000 as of March 13, 2018, and has risen 3.6 million times in eight years.

“Bitcoin has a constant gold, infinitely separable, and other gold characteristics, and whether this feature is stable is also a test of blockchain technology. Bitcoin’s stable operation of these years’ 'experimental success’ proves decentralization It is feasible for the network to solve the credit problem," Wan Yang said.

Feasibility is difficult to equate with commercialization, but the rapid rise of Bitcoin and the later generation of Ethereum, Litecoan and other tokens still allows more savvy people to find opportunities for wealth. To this day, many industry insiders have admitted that the most successful application of blockchain technology to date is still speculative.

Nonetheless, in the moment, more practitioners are expecting the blockchain's technology as part of the next-generation network communications infrastructure.

Wan Yang is also one of them. Before coming to this token platform, his knowledge base on blockchain technology was zero. He told reporters that he sold his own indie game and won the first pot of gold in the previous year, and came here just to "learn" and look forward to making his own blockchain project in the future.

Wan Yang also believes that the current industry's expectations for the blockchain have exceeded the carrying capacity of this technology, but he still firmly believes that the blockchain is likely to become an important way for the next generation of network communication, and the token is also the blockchain. An indispensable part of it.

"Many people think that as long as the chain, do not Token (tokens), but no Token who will contribute to the node?" Wan Yang told the 21st Century Business Herald reporter, "just like the Internet now has its own communication protocol, the future decentralization After that, the communication foundation on which the blockchain network is based is the Token. When the application requirements of a chain become larger and larger, the scarcity will naturally make the Token valuable."

However, in the face of the question of "how to make a chain application more and more demanding", Wan Yang also refused to answer. “The application scenario of the blockchain assumes a lot, depending on what is actually needed.”

Reputation is important

Unlike Wanyang, the motivation of some practitioners comes from the rich effect of ICO.

Although it was cleaned up twice in the fall and early this year, many ICO project sponsors still rely on some trading platforms that set up servers overseas to meet the ICO, which satisfies the needs of some domestic investors.

“ICO has made many project sponsors make quick money, and some projects have even been raised out of thin air,” said a person at the head of the market, who said that “there is basically a lot of money, because ICO It cannot be legalized and it is difficult to obtain effective supervision under market autonomy."

However, the vast majority of ICOs have apparently failed to give investors the same wealth as Bitcoin – according to incomplete statistics from 21st Century Business Herald, more than 80% of the ICO projects launched on the head of the coin platform this year are Broken state.

In the view of senior currency investor Yang Jingyuan, the pricing of the current token market is completely unrelated to technology, and more depends on the popularity of token projects.

“The industry often says that '99% of the coins are air coins without actual scenes'. I think this ratio is almost 100%.” Yang Jingyuan told reporters, “What is the use of the scene? It's not based on technology. Although technologies such as Ethereum and EOS are better, the highest price is still Bitcoin, because none of them is famous."

The unspoken rules of “knownness to price” in the ICO sector have brought about a series of secondary effects – the trading platform and the role of the blockchain from the media have become more important.

“One way is to pull the well-known people together with ICO, and the blockchain media to do hard push.” Beijing’s blockchain, the head of the media, Tong Feng (a pseudonym) told reporters, “This leads to the blockchain. The media is getting faster and faster, and new media projects appear almost every week."

“The blockchain is not difficult to profit from the media. I want to use too many illegal blockchain projects. It is equivalent to doing roadshow services. If the media is in the head position, the size of several tofu blocks will become almost zero. Bitcoin is equivalent to a few tens of thousands of dollars." Tong Feng said frankly.

"In this chain, the big head is still a trading platform. The cost of going online is usually starting at 10 million yuan, and there is a fight with the IPO." Yang Jingyuan said frankly, "Finally all participants are in the money of investors, and many investors It is also clear that there are risks and they are still following up."

"I have luck, who would think that I am the last one?" Yang Jingyuan said.
