Suddenly, 2019 also came to an end.
This year can be said to be the year when the blockchain was truly recognized in the country. After the top leadership of 1024 spoke, the word blockchain rose to a high point that had never been reached before.
However, 2019 is also another year of chaotic and dilapidated blockchains dominated by the currency circle. MLM and capital markets are rampant, and the currency price is sluggish after the roller coaster. Investors and investors (machines) are in trouble one after another.
It is gradually difficult for us to distinguish which is the real "blockchain". Tokens seem to be an impenetrable wall between the two worlds, dividing the groups inside and outside the wall into a clear line.
All living beings "inside the wall" rejoice and mourn for the currency
The world of the currency circle "inside the wall" is the most realistic and controversial place. People who chase freedom believe that Bitcoin will bring a new world, and regard the combination of cryptocurrency and technology as the orthodox blockchain. Due to the investment (hype) nature of cryptocurrencies, the balance of attention between the two is completely tilted towards the former. Until now, the currency price is undoubtedly the main theme that maintains this chaotic circle.
The world inside the wall is a mixed bag, full of blockchain projects built with various concepts. It doesn’t matter whether ordinary investors understand it or not. The currency price is the most distinctive and probably the only benchmark to measure the success or failure of a project.
From the big bear at the beginning of 2018 to the end of 2019, the fanaticism of the whole circle disappeared with the continuous collapse of currency prices. If you compare the currency price trend in the past two years, the second half of this year is more like a reprint of 2018.
Bitcoin continued to fall, altcoins were dying, and the pessimism shrouded in the circle was even worse than last year, and all communities became silent again by coincidence.
"I don't think there will ever be a bull market." It was a rare sentence that suddenly popped up in a project community that had been cold for a long time. As expected, no one answered the words. As the currency price almost returned to zero, This community filled with hundreds of "zombies" is actually only an empty shell left.
As we all know, the "inside the wall" world based on online communities is the gathering place where most people in this circle hang out for a long time.
Here you can see the same scene after scene. The originally lively blockchain public chain projects, media, and application communities have changed from the initial enthusiasm and excitement to doubts caused by the sharp drop in currency prices. , to the anger, despair and helplessness after being deeply trapped, until it becomes numb, no longer expecting, and finally returns to silence.
Once upon a time, we thought that the community was the foundation for the growth of blockchain projects, and it would be a "sacred place" for a group of believers to achieve riches while witnessing new products change the world. Harvested swamp.
In this way, investors (leeks) in the currency circle happily wandered in different communities, repeatedly experiencing stories of "turning against each other" because of currency prices.
There is a joke in the market: from the blockchain revolution to the scam, there is only one currency price in the middle. Everyone living inside the wall fantasizes at first that they can use the currency speculation to make their lives flourish, but they don't expect to end up being slaves to the currency price.
In fact, the excessively strong financial speculative attributes of the currency circle have already determined that this "revolution" is not suitable for ordinary people.
Even large financial institutions like the currency circle cannot escape the tragic end of being harvested every time, and even most of the token funds that focus on the currency circle have already returned without a trace.
At the Hangzhou conference held by Canaan Zhizhi to celebrate its listing in the United States, well-known capital leaders in the currency circle such as Yi Lihua of Liaide Capital and Zhou Shuoji of FBG Capital also laughed at themselves. The losses in 18 years were huge, and the institutions were just big It's just leeks.
At that time, I remember that Zhou Shuoji also mentioned that FBG participated in the investment of Canaan Zhizhi’s stock, and judging from the current market price of CAN (Canaan Technology), it is obvious that this investment is also in a locked-in situation.
In every round of ups and downs in the currency market, each role in the ecology of the circle is completing self-elimination and replacement, and is now at the inflection point of the alternation of old and new roles, and external supervision is also accelerating this transformation.
Binance’s China office was blocked, and the sub-new top exchange had no choice but to “distribute” the office. The tail-end copycat exchange either benign or ran out of the market. It is not known how long it will be before the end of the market clearing, but they are still willing All the people in the "wall" can do nothing but stick to it and wait for the next bull market that may exist.
"Outside the wall" various forms, a coinless blockchain walking in the sun
Contrary to the bleak and depressed negative energy atmosphere of "inside the wall", the "outside the wall" with the coinless blockchain technology as its core direction is experiencing a positive development with great momentum.
Since Xi Jinping's speech at the end of October, the word blockchain has swept the country and received unprecedented recognition.
In fact, long before this, the domestic blockchain technology has entered the real landing scene, whether it is the blockchain electronic invoice system that Tencent has implemented in Shenzhen and has issued 14 million pieces within the year, or the judicial chain through the Hangzhou Internet Court. The 2.1 billion pieces of evidence data make the dispute mediation rate exceed 90%, which shows the prosperity of the development of blockchain applications.
Some people say that in the past ten years, China has been the best soil for blockchain development. It’s just that these movements have nothing to do with the world of currency circles separated by a wall. The domestic environment has spawned a blockchain with more national characteristics. Even the central bank’s digital currency, which is about to come out, only assumes the role of the blockchain version of RMB. Central Bank Currency Research Mu Changchun, the director of the institute, also made it clear that DECP is not an encrypted asset and is not hype.
After the blockchain has risen to the national strategic level, for more than a month, the domestic national team circle based on the blockchain industry has been in full swing, and Beijing, Shenzhen, Hangzhou, Fuzhou, Chengdu, Hainan, Guilin and other places have successively In the name of the government, a number of "blockchain" related conferences have been held to guide the blockchain to better empower the real economy. It can be seen that the importance is evident.
On the one hand, the country is promoting the vigorous development of blockchain technology, and on the other hand, it is curbing financial hype and fraud in the cryptocurrency market.
Just last week, the Beijing Securities Regulatory Bureau also issued a risk warning on further preventing "virtual currency" trading activities. The country's restrictions on financial behaviors such as pyramid schemes, currency speculation, and financing have been in progress. In the earlier "Beijing Chaoyang District Inspection White Paper also mentioned the phenomenon that illegal fund-raising scams such as virtual currency have been banned repeatedly. In addition to the MLM fraud incidents and the black-box operations of some exchanges, there is another important reason, which is due to the difficulties encountered in the development of the currency blockchain (such as the public chain) in the past two years. Until now, Still in the exploratory stage.
In contrast to the progress of the alliance chain, at the "Second International Summit of Blockchain Industry and Entrepreneurs" in Fuzhou recently, Fuzhou Deputy Secretary-General Lin Qiang released 30 key application scenarios of Fuzhou blockchain on behalf of the Fuzhou Municipal Government. Not to mention the vigorous competition from other first-tier cities. From the perspective of large-scale commercial use, the alliance chain has already taken the lead, and the public chain or blockchain entrepreneurial projects with coins are undoubtedly in an extremely awkward position.
When will the time to break the "wall" come when there is a battle between coins and no coins?
Although the "outside the wall" focuses on the technical application of blockchain decentralization, tamper-proof, and code trust, even if there are too many problems to be solved "inside the wall", this cannot erase another extremely important aspect of the blockchain. The inherent characteristics of , that is, its token properties, are obviously indispensable for the liberalization of the future economy.
Zhu Youping, deputy director of the China Economic Network Management Center of the State Information Center, also said that one of the greatest values of the blockchain has the possibility of changing the world is that it has the ability to realize real community sharing. To realize this value, relying on The most important thing is the incentive mechanism inherent in the blockchain, which can be accurate to the point that every behavior that pays can get a corresponding equivalent incentive reward. It is foreseeable that when this value is integrated into the society, it will push the whole society to a new height.
It's just that whether to choose sovereign currency or token, and how to strike a balance between the value and price of token is a problem that is currently difficult to solve.
Perhaps the game of having money but not money will continue, but as long as the blockchain continues to move forward, the high wall blocking the two in the future will always be broken one day.
