Today's article is Jensen's resignation manuscript posted on the intranet when he resigned.
As the core figure of 1.435, this is the writing of some personal experience, and it is also a review of 1.435 from its establishment to the present. We hope that more people can see some experience and gain some thinking from these people who have experienced it.

Farewell to the involuntary Web2
During the offline interview, a friend of a former 360 executive who started a web3 business was also there. He answered this question in this way:
Many large factories have encountered business growth bottlenecks, and individuals have limited upward channels in large factories.
Web3 is at the cusp of early investment and investment, and young people have more opportunities to rise.
These two points have basically become the consensus of those of us who left the big factories and chose Web3. We have all seen more opportunities and greater room for display in Web3. Of course, among us there are firm believers in the decentralization of Web3, and there are also those who use it purely as financial derivatives to speculate and hype leeks.
But it is undeniable that the space of Web3 is enough for more friends from big manufacturers to try to do a project and do something that makes the value fall, instead of just being a screw that is fed to kill the fighting spirit.

Looking back now, for the big manufacturers, except for some front-line positions that really face users, most of them still have a distance from the market, and their perception of trend changes is relatively weak.

Later, I listened to some offline sermons in Beijing, but most of them still had little understanding. After I entered the byte, I never went to understand it in depth.
Until December 21, I noticed ICP's Hackathon, and learned that in the American drama "Silicon Valley" that accompanied the university for four years, the decentralized distributed computer conceived by the protagonist seemed to be landed by ICP. The excitement is beyond words, so I signed up for the Hackathon non-stop, and the product I made is also the first direction that every Web2 person enters Web3 - DID. At that time, a temporary team was formed, and two people wrote codes and made PPT all night, and then went to Shanghai for a road show. It took a total of 36 hours from an idea to the realization of the first version to the completion of the presentation. It was only after going through the whole process that I realized that my knowledge of the industry was still superficial, and I couldn’t understand the long list of nouns in other people’s mouths, and I didn’t even understand ENS that well.
But the fiery atmosphere of the arena is like the period when the mobile Internet was still full of imagination in 2013 and 2014. Everyone had various ideas and everyone was full of passion for the future.
In comparison, the Web3 industry is indeed still in its early stages, and everyone is in the groping stage, but this also means that everyone can compete on an equal starting line, without boundaries, rules, or even clear definitions. I am moving towards a better Internet that I have imagined.
The early stage of the industry also means an open and positive environment. I can clearly feel that the world of Web3 is at a stage where everyone is booming. This industry gathers more elites and more people with an international perspective; in this new world, you have more opportunities and industry The top people go to communicate. In this world of decentralized culture, everyone maintains a very open communication state; people in this industry, I have witnessed how many people freely wear multiple roles, Or living the life of a digital nomad. When you open the barriers of the small circle, you will find that there are actually many possibilities in life.

(1.435 Origin of name)
In the process of working on the project, we got acquainted with Brother World (a big guy who once used technology to arbitrage millions of dollars in one night), and gradually built mutual trust with him in some subsequent cooperation, and we worked together in some GameFi and Some opportunities were captured among special events (Luna, etc.).
Later, we held some Web3 offline communication gatherings in Byte, and unexpectedly found that everyone's enthusiasm for Web3 is quite high. We thought, why not just form a community together, gather more friends who are interested in Web3, and do some interesting things together, so we have 1.435Club.

(Dali Web3 Conference)
Last month, our small team also participated in an event in Dali and participated in the planning of several themed venues. There are many stories and insights from the Dali Web3 trip, so I won’t repeat them here. If you want to know more about the story of Web3 and Dali, you can refer to this article we wrote"What happened to Web3 in Dali these days"。
After in-depth exchanges with many practitioners and investors, not only let us see the value of being 1.435Club, but also let us see the different entry points and entry methods of the Web3 industry under the cycle - in the current cyclical bear market, Many people chose to wait or even quit, but we firmly believe that truly valuable projects can go through the cycle. If Web3 is only regarded as a financial game, the bear market is the best elimination mechanism to wash away this group of people. This is precisely the reason why our team members went upstream together and chose to resign All in. What we want to do is not to chase periodic fluctuations, but to be a firm guiding force in the cycle.

In half a year, from a few people to an organization
Our organization has continued to expand from the very beginning of the small team of Das, World Brother, Long Brother, Chuan Shen, and D, including the follow-up of Mr. Qiu, Sean, Xiao Chengzi, DM and other friends to join. Now the community covers nearly 10,000 members There are nearly a hundred people who have participated in the contribution, and there are dozens of core contributors. At present, there are also sub-organizations such as the media union, the investment research union, and the incubation union. The continuous growth of the team is the heart of everyone who wants to do things. together. We have also accumulated resources and technical teams in the shortest time, so that ideals not only have ideas, but also support.
Going back to our original intention of creating 1.435Club, we hope to gather a group of people with ambitions and ideas, and use in-depth investment research to help everyone establish a systematic industry awareness in the early chaotic state of the Web3 industry. Industry resources help members gain the potential energy for startup faster.
We believe that this place will be a mobile feast, and there will continue to be high-quality projects and outstanding entrepreneurs who will go out from 1.435 and achieve their own Web3 era.
Finally, a small plot in "A Boat on Land" is quoted. Fitzgerald, a white man obsessed with opera, told the man who sold him a boat: the first white man who saw the Niagara Falls came back and told his companions how big the waterfall was, but his companions didn’t believe it, and asked him "What proof do you have?", he just said "I saw it. I saw it, and that's the only proof.".
