Investors say: blockchain + prospect
At the beginning of the round table, the host raised the issue of how to view the investment value of the blockchain to investors regarding the controversial voices currently facing the blockchain. All four investors said that the investment value is beyond doubt. Liu Dong, innovation officer of Accenture China, believes that the current blockchain application has achieved large-scale application; the current application implementation is also in full swing, but it has not yet become popular.
Lianxing Capital CEO Zhang Mingjing said that the blockchain is actually divided into three parts: technology, token economic model, and securities market; combining the value of the three parts, there is a rigid demand for technology in infrastructure; the token economic model can Incentivize users and developers; the securities market can help early-stage start-up companies to raise funds, and all of them have investment value, but the investment methods are different.
Afterwards, the host pointed out that compared with the investment and financing of the blockchain primary market, everyone’s focus and interest are more focused on the secondary market. From the perspective of the four investors, the development of the primary market in the future will Where is the space? Which areas have potential for development? Who will be the "killer" app?
Regarding the primary market and the secondary market, Lianxing Capital CEO Zhang Mingjing believes that the primary market is still relatively active, especially in terms of equity financing in the primary market, the investment amount of VC institutions has increased. Wang Jiaping, executive director of Innovation Works, believes that the primary market and the secondary market do not conflict, but complement each other and develop rationally. At present, the progress of many blockchain projects is different, "some testnets are not online, and some mainnets are not online",
In terms of potential areas, Lianxing Capital CEO Zhang Mingjing said he is very optimistic about payment. JPMorgan Chase will launch the encrypted digital currency JPM Coin, and Facebook will also launch its own currency for payment. He said that once the giants enter the market, the industry will really explode. And Liu Dong, innovation officer of Accenture China, said that based on his own experience in looking at many entrepreneurial projects, he believes that the infrastructure of blockchain technology is far from complete, and there is room for technological breakthroughs in this area.
In response to the host's question of "judging the dimensions and standards of a good blockchain project", the four investors also said that technology and application are the most critical factors. Shen Qiang, founding partner and CTO of Jiangmen Venture Capital, put forward three points : The first point is to look at the business first. If you forget the blockchain, whether this matter really provides value; the second point is the ability to gather resources. The team's operating ability; the third point is technology, purely doing blockchain must be a master of technology.
