According to "China Entrepreneur" magazine, Sequoia Capital, Chairman of 360 Zhou, Zhou, Zhou and other big names in the investment circle are all in this group, and there are even stars such as Gao, Lin Yun A and Han Geng.
This WeChat group, which was established in February 1 1, reached the upper limit of 500 people in less than one day. During the Spring Festival, it is said that the total amount of red envelopes of this group reached 1 million. However, this is not the main motivation for stars and rich people to join the group, and it is even forbidden to publish information such as speculative coins and ICO in the group. The team members mainly study the application prospect of blockchain technology.
I noticed that according to the definition in the White Paper on the Development of Blockchain Technology and Application in China issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, blockchain is an innovative application mode of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, * * knowledge mechanism and encryption algorithm in the Internet era.
Blockchain technology is considered to be a subversive innovation in computing mode after mainframe, personal computer and Internet, and it is likely to cause a new technological innovation and industrial change on a global scale.
Nowadays, with the price of Bitcoin halved from its peak value and the strict supervision of China and other countries, the craze of "virtual currency" has begun to recede. However, as the underlying technology, blockchain is expected to be widely used in the fields of finance, supply chain management, manufacturing, and Internet of Things in the future.
In the group, the red envelope is over one million in 7 days.
The "three-point sleepless blockchain group" was originally founded on February 1 1. Yu Hong was the main person in charge of 360 games before, and now he is SEIU &；; The founder of QYGAME has launched a large-scale online game "Basic World" based on blockchain.
Since the initial group was established at 3 am, it was named "Three Sleepless Blockchain Group".
In this WeChat group known as the first dry goods group, there are Sequoia Capital, 360 Chairman Zhou, angel investor, distributed capital partner Shen Bo, and even stars such as Gao, Lim Yoon A and Han Geng.
Chen and Heshui Primary School were the earliest participants. Xue Manzi invested in quantum chain, original chain and ink chain. Li Xiaolai was the first investor in Bitcoin and Ethereum in China. Chen also has his own fund, which has invested in projects such as Huobi, Qian 'an and Tron. Shuai Chu is the founder of quantum chain.
Interestingly, among the people who joined this group, the most popular one is not the industry tycoon, but the movie star Tong Liya. It is said that after Tong Liya was drawn into this group, there were hundreds of messages welcoming him to join. Tong Liya said that he was a beginner in blockchain and wanted to learn more, and attached a big red envelope of 8,000 yuan.
Some inactive people in this group will be kicked out, such as Han Geng, founder of matchmaker 1 and Meitu CEO Wu. People who stay in the group often have fierce "mutual discussions". Some new members are very curious and quickly absorb the fresh knowledge of the blockchain.
On February 24th, there was a "conflict" between Chen and the managing director of Jinshajiang Venture Capital.
The cause of the incident was that Allen Zhu forwarded an article about blockchain in a circle of friends and said not to drag him into various 3-point groups. Some outlets would rather miss it, and some money would rather not be earned, otherwise the festival at night would be lost.
Chen's statement immediately caused a rebuttal. Chen asked, is the method of cutting leeks by equity investment more advanced than that of currency circle? Is the bubble in the entire blockchain industry as high as the global stock market bubble? Allen Zhu responded that ICO, a model for testing human nature, has never been successful.
Don't talk about speculation, just talk about blockchain.
Together with Chen, the industry leader who first joined the group, Yu Hong made a rule in the group: it is forbidden to publish news about speculative coins and ICO in the group. Therefore, the theme of the group discussion is mainly the application of blockchain technology.
Guo Hongcai is a well-known figure in the currency circle. He didn't understand any blockchain technology, but he became a local tyrant by speculating money. He was kicked out of the group for the second time because he said in the group, "Anyway, I am here to make money, and the empty chat technology is really boring ... The biggest application of blockchain is speculation." After being kicked, Guo Hongcai was unconvinced and sulked in another group. "They never said that making money is too empty."
China has always been at the forefront in supervising virtual currency speculation.
Last September, China completely banned the domestic bitcoin trading platform business. This regulation has also had an impact on global bitcoin transactions.
On February 5 this year, People's Daily published another article on "speculating in coins", arguing that countries should strengthen coordinated supervision and guard against systemic risks.
The People's Daily said that in recent years, various conferences and exchange activities with the theme of blockchain, digital assets and virtual currency have emerged one after another, and the upsurge of "speculating in coins" and "disguised ICO" has also come one after another. Some people join the "money speculation army", hoping to get rich returns through short-term speculation. Since blockchain and virtual currency can transcend national boundaries, countries should strengthen coordination and supervision to prevent virtual currency transactions from causing systemic financial risks.
This is exactly:
Virtual currency is speculating in the sky,
Suddenly, a series of dangers appeared.
Pass the package and blow big bubbles,
There is no need to supervise the cloud.
Blockchain has broad application prospects.
According to the white paper of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the blockchain technology originated from the basic paper Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System published by a scholar with the pen name Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008.
In a narrow sense, blockchain is a chained data structure that combines data blocks in chronological order, which is cryptographically guaranteed to be an unbreakable and unforgeable distributed account book.
At present, blockchain technology is called by many large organizations as a major breakthrough technology that completely changes the business and even the operation mode of the organization.
The wide application of blockchain technology can make "decentralization" achieve low cost.
When we send an email, the other party actually receives a copy of the email, which enables the information to spread quickly. However, this method cannot be copied to the application in finance and other fields. For example, if you give each other 100 yuan, you can't copy and paste your 100 yuan to each other.
Therefore, in today's society, when dealing with cash, securities, intellectual property rights, patents, carbon emission quotas, etc. , a huge central organization (banks, third-party payment platforms, etc.). ) must be used to solve the trust problem, which will increase the transaction cost and slow down the transaction speed. For example, we can send an email within one minute, but it may take several days to transfer money in the same city. Transferring funds from one country to another requires a high handling fee.
Don Tapscott, a Canadian blockchain expert, believes that blockchain technology will change the world and the technology of building trust will become easy to understand. He said that the popularity of blockchain technology may make us no longer need a strong central institution as a credit medium in the future. This is the next generation Internet, which will probably change our currency, trade, government and society.
