Buffett once said: The market is a tool that transfers money from the impatient to the patient.

But the old man in the picture below didn’t say that:

Hello everyone, I am Pepe, who is short of gold in the five elements. I saw a group of people posting the above news today.

I wrote an article about eos this week. I saw someone asking about the voice situation. While everyone was waiting for Grayscale to go to work and open the door for a boring weekend, let me talk about some overseas updates I saw. And an interesting little gossip about the domain name voice.com.

Regarding the current situation of voice, I can only say four words:

Not so good.

The picture below is the home page of the beta version:

I ranked it from high to low according to voice it, that is, the above three articles are the most liked by people with voice tokens, and it should be said that they are currently the most popular content, but you can see that the third place only has 1000 The "top posts" with multiple voices also have more than 20 comments.

It can be seen that the current test status is very cool, and I have also seen some users who tweeted some comments and uninstalled the app after a short experience.

In addition, when the invitation to register was just opened on August 15 (it’s a coincidence, it’s exactly three months until today), many Chinese people registered to swipe their screens to test coins. The picture below is a screenshot of the homepage at that time:

Compared to that time, the faces of Chinese people are no longer visible, probably due to the previous wave of titles.

So judging from the website, there is currently no hope for this application.

But recently the CEO of Voice also accepted interviews from overseas communities to interpret some situations (search everythingeos on YouTube to see all of them). Here are a few brief points:

1. Voice is implemented on the EOSIO chain, and it is a multi-chain form. If I understand correctly, the token in it will be on one chain, and the content will be on another chain. .

This is different from our initial understanding of voice. At the same time, EOSIO and EOS are also different. They will be a bit like the relationship between IPFS and filecoin. The former is the underlying technology, and the latter is a public chain, which is built on eosio The application can have nothing to do with the public chain of eos and the community.

However, as the largest shareholder of Voice, B1 recently explained this:

Voice will use a series of eosio chains, including the eos main chain.

Here I guess, I guess, they still have to put the token on the main chain. After all, a large part of Voice’s current and future initial users are still from the eos community, and they bought so much ram and put it for more than a year Well, it’s not about buying a lonely [laughing and crying]. .

There are two more points that need +[dog head life-saving]:

2. More actions for Voice may depend on next year. What his CEO said includes marketing and bringing in more users. Of course, I and the current community response, don’t have too much hope, just let it go.

3. During the interview, there was a small disclosure that next year Voice will raise funds, and it may not be a small amount. The CEO can’t say much about it for the time being. I don’t know if it is the traditional way of smuggling, or continue to find leeks in the currency circle. . Will you vote? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area.

If I want to talk about my current feelings about this product, there are still many slots. In particular, I think it is a very bad user experience to set the first screen to only display one, two, two or three contents. What age.

Well, that’s about it for the status quo of voice, and it can be summed up as follows:

Let’s talk about the gossip about the voice domain name. I think everyone has heard about the story of this domain name that sold for 30 million US dollars. We have mentioned it two or three times before, but recently I found an article by accident and found this story. There are also a few small details in it, which are quite interesting, and I would like to share them with you:

1. Voice.com was first registered on August 30, 2001, and it was still owned by Chinese people at that time. It is a music instrument website, as shown in the picture below:

This dazzling color scheme and strong ethnic style [cover your face], in that era when surfing the Internet was still a luxury, let's express our understanding.

2. After that, voice.com was acquired by MicroStrategy. Coincidentally, this MicroStrategy also bought a large number of bitcoin positions twice this year, and was periodically screened in the currency circle. The picture below shows the recent bloggers A widely circulated position chart of companies in the United States:

However, what most people may not know is that although this micro-strategy company is an old-fashioned data analysis company, in addition to focusing on business in the early years, it also invested in quite a lot of domain names, especially domain names with short words, such as Courage.com, Speaker .com, Glory.com, etc.

And these domain names finally created profits for his family that were higher than the main business. It can be said that if you want to get rich, you still have to rely on a little side. His boss, Michael J. Saylor, once said:

Selling an intangible asset like a domain name is like selling a piece of art. The value depends on the value of the piece of art to the buyer. If you think it’s worth $10 million, it’s $10 million.

I don't know if he, who currently holds 38,000 bitcoins, has the same idea, and will he say that he will wait until $100,000 or more before considering selling it.

The project was closed until 2019, and it was not released to the public in 2019. To be met by B1 also required fate and luck. It is said that the price was not negotiated until 56 months. Basically, the website was built and released within a few days after it was won. Yes, I don’t know what BM will use to give a speech if the negotiation fails or drags on for a few days [laughing and crying].

epilogue

3. For voice.com, the first quotation MicroStrategy received was US$150,000. After that, the price was continuously increased until it reached 30 million. Many people outside thought this was too exaggerated, and even believed that there was an improper transaction in the middle.

But in fact, it was just a common tentative strategy at first, quoting a reserve price to see if the seller was in urgent need of money or didn’t care about it at all. Of course, Michael is also a person with hundreds of millions of dollars lying in his account. Later, until the quotation rose to 2000 More than 10,000 to accept communication with buyers.

Some people also said that this is also a legend about patience. After waiting for 18 years, they sold nearly 200 million soft sister coins, which is equivalent to a passive income of 10 million per year.

epilogue

2. There are still too many complex things in encrypted assets, so that until now, every chain and every project is still an island of information. First, it is easy to misunderstand and misinterpret. Second, people will choose the simplest way to just Look at the price, whoever rises best will be the best.

Reference article:

During this period of time, I have been hearing some friends asking, ah, what should I do if I take the grapefruit, should I change the car? I think that holding grapefruit is actually a kind of voting. This is not the node voting like the big harvest. But what to invest in? The idea of ​​investing in the public is wrong. They think that B1’s Bitcoin holdings are scum, and they think that if the price does not rise, it is a failure. They cannot understand the complexity of the account system and the possible potential in it.

If you agree with the mainstream thinking, then there is nothing to change. If you want to bet that the public is wrong (of course, the premise is that you think so), then you can stay for a while, but here is the same as today Like the story, it takes patience and luck.
