2011年,一个大三学生在知乎提问:手头有6000元,有什么好的理财投资建议?
科幻作家长铗当时回复他,买比特币,保存好钱包文件,然后忘掉你有过6000元这回事,五年后再看看。
The sci-fi parents replied to him, bought bitcoin, kept the wallet file, then forgot you had $6,000 and looked at it in five years.
今年比特币价格暴涨,这段颇具预言色彩的对话截图,突然在网上火了,长铗被网友视为“神人”。
Bitcoin prices surged this year, and this was a prophesy video of the conversation, which suddenly caught fire on the Internet, and the giraffes were seen as “gods”.
交易比特币的这些年,长铗不再出新作,有老读者在长铗的百度贴吧留言:跪求长铗复出,您什么时候写新小说?一个网友回复,长铗正在做很科幻的事情。
During these years of trading in bitcoin, there are old readers who leave a message at a long, long, long-term note: On your knees, when will you write a new novel? A friend of mine replied that she was doing a very scientific thing.
如今,长铗把现实生活过成了一部科幻小说。他2011年接触比特币,同年创立比特币资讯网站“巴比特”,2013年出版《比特币——一个真实而虚幻的金融世界》》一书。他在区块链领域的创业之路可谓起起伏伏,经历过低谷:比特币的两轮暴涨与暴跌,以及多位创业合伙人的离开;也陆续获得几轮融资,正在探索区块链领域的新兴商业模式。
He contacted Bitcoin in 2011, created the Bitcoin information website, Babbitt, and published a book, Bitcoin – a real and illustrious financial world in 2013. His path to entrepreneurship in the area of block chains is an ups and downs: two rounds of Bitcoin boom and drop, and the departure of several business partners; and several rounds of financing are exploring new business models in the area of block chains.
梅花天使创始合伙人吴世春是一位投资老手,他于2016年投资了长铗的团队,他告诉全天候科技:“长铗在比特币圈子里拥有比较高的认知和人际关系,创业项目比原链是一个平台型的公司,能够为用户提供系统化的服务。”
Wu Shichun, the founding partner of the Pychia Angel, was an investment expert who invested in a long-term team in 2016, telling all-weather technology: “Change has a higher level of cognitive and interpersonal relationships in bitcoin circles, and entrepreneurial projects are a platform-based company that can provide systematic services to users than the original chain.”
前几年,很多人劝长铗转行做互联网金融,做借贷生意,因为这些行业赚钱快,长铗比较执着,一直坚守在区块链领域。
In previous years, a large number of people had been persuaded to turn to Internet finance and to do lending, as the industries were earning more money, were more committed and were stuck in the area of block chains.
从科幻小说家到比特币布道者
from science fiction to Bitcoin sermon
长铗本名刘志鹏,笔名取于一句楚辞:“带长铗之陆离兮,冠切云之崔嵬”。
His name is Liu Ji-peng, and his pen is based on the words: “With the land of the land of the land of the land, the clouds of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the clouds of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the clouds of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the clouds of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the land of the.
他和比特币的缘分始于科幻小说。
His relationship with Bitcoin begins with science fiction.
他16岁时开始科幻写作,陆续在《科幻世界》等各个大幻想杂志发表科幻作品,《屠龙之技》、《扶桑之伤》等小说,为他积累了大量粉丝读者。其中《昆仑》、《扶桑之伤》、《674号公路》获2006年、2007、2008年银河奖。
He started writing science fiction at the age of 16, and continued to publish science fiction in major fantasy magazines, such as The World of Science fiction, and accumulated a lot of fans for him in such novels as "The Dragons" and "The Wounds of the Helper". Among them, Kunlón, "The Wound of the Helper" and "Road 674" were awarded the 2006, 2007 and 2008 Galaxy Awards.
在天马行空的科幻世界之外,长铗是广西国土资源规划院里的一名工程师,刚毕业工作那几年,他在酒局、应酬上花了很多精力,小说写作停滞。2011年,长铗身处创作瓶颈期,为了寻找新灵感,他获得了比特币的信息。
Outside of Tianxi's Sci-Sci-Fi world, Chang-yun, an engineer at Guangxi Land Resources Planning Institute, spent a lot of effort on wine bureaus, dues, and stagnating novel writing. In 2011, he was in a bottleneck, and in search of new inspiration, he obtained bitcoin information.
比特币为长铗打开了新世界的大门,最初对比特币感兴趣的人,大多为极客、自由主义者,这些人身上往往有些理想主义气质,他们对未来世界充满了想象。
Bitcoin has opened the door to a new world for long, beginning with people interested in bitcoin, mostly polarists and liberals, who often have some idealistic ethos and are full of imagination about the future of the world.
“我们正进入一个哈耶克所预言的自由货币、自由资产时代,试想一下,如果将来,资产的流通不再以地域、国界为限制,不再受制于各国法币的兑换,人们投资与交易资产就跟网购一样方便,征信与授信不再依托于巨头与中心化平台,这个市场会变成多大?”长铗告诉全天候科技。
“We are entering an era of free money and free assets, as Hayek foresaw, and imagine how much this market will become if, in the future, the movement of assets is no longer limited by geography, borders and the exchange of national French currency, people invest and trade in assets as easily as Internet purchases, and letters and letters are no longer built on giants and centralized platforms.”
在风口面前,对趋势的预测是没有意义的,他选择成为趋势本身。
In the face of the wind, the prediction of trends was meaningless, and he chose to become the trend itself.
2011年,长铗建立了国内最早的比特币资讯与社区网站“巴比特”,这是一个专注区块链、比特币以及数字货币领域新闻报道的平台,提供信息推送、论坛交流等服务。
In 2011, the first Bitcoin information and community site in the country, Babbit, was established as a platform for focusing on block chains, Bitcoin and news reporting in the digital currency area, providing information delivery, forum exchange, etc.
通过巴比特,长铗收获了很多志同道合的朋友。2013年,他和爱好者们合著了《比特币——一个真实而虚幻的金融世界》一书,这是国内第一本关于比特币的专著。
Through Babbitt, she has reaped many like-minded friends. In 2013, he and his fans co-authored the book Bitcoin — a real and illustrious financial world, the country’s first book on bitcoin.
从资讯业务起家,长铗于2014年4月拿到一轮投资,于是辞掉公务员工作,来到杭州,成立公司,继续经营巴比特,发展至今,已形成巴比特与比原链两条产品线,分别定位做区块链信息与资产的基础设施。
From the start of the information business, Changjian received a round of investments in April 2014 and left the civil service to Hangzhou, set up a company and continue to run Babbitt, which has developed to date into two product lines in the Babbit and Bibrand chains, positioning the infrastructure for sector-chain information and assets respectively.
创业之路几多坎坷。
The path to entrepreneurship has been difficult.
比特币在2013年底遭遇第一次“滑铁卢”,彼时币价从8000多元人民币骤跌至1000多元。区块链行业步入寒冬。当年和长铗合著《比特币》一书的七位作者,只剩下他一人还留在这个行业。
By the end of 2013, Bitcoin was hit by the first “Little Lou” – the price of which fell sharply from 8,000 to 1,000. The block chain industry went into a cold winter. The seven authors of the book Bitcoin, which was co-authored with the Quantico, were the only ones left to remain in the business.
2014年,他的合伙人也离开了,巴比特在很长时间里都面临着“资讯网站难以变现”的难题,巴比特离矿机行业与交易所较远,受币价波动影响较小,但一时也没有赚钱的业务。
In 2014, his partner also left, Babbitt faced for a long time the challenge of “information websites are hard to realize”, and Babbit left the mine business and the exchange far away, less affected by currency fluctuations, but never had a profit-making business.
不过长铗很执拗,他仍然在“数据挖掘”、“信用评价”这些短期看不到收益的项目上寻找突破点。
However, he was stubborn and still looking for breakthrough points in the “data mining”, “credit evaluation” and short-term non-rewarding projects.
早年的比特币圈朋友,退圈后开始做别的生意,包括互联网金融领域的P2P、现金贷业务,由于市场大、门槛低,参与者们都赚到了钱,不少人劝长铗转型。
Early-year-old Bitcoin circle friends, back in circles, started doing other business, including P2Ps in Internet finance, cash loans, and participants earned money because of the size of the market and the low threshold, and many encouraged long-term transformations.
币信CEO吴钢和长铗认识多年,看着他创业起起伏伏,坦言:长铗是一个理想主义的人,比特币暴涨暴跌并没有影响他,如果说多年的科幻小说写作经历是预想未来,那么创业是创造未来。
For many years, he has known CEO and Cao Wu Steel, and he has seen his entrepreneurial ups and downs and downs, telling the truth: the dildo is an idealist, and the dramatic ups and downs of Bitcoin has not affected him. If years of science fiction writing has been about the future, then entrepreneurship is about creating the future.
预想未来是长铗擅长的事情。他的小说《屠龙之技》就是对信息时代未来发展的一种展望,整个宇宙都是一个计算机模拟的程序,人是上帝的编程语言,“屠龙之技”这个词,代表着少数人的坚守。
Thinking about the future is a great thing. His novel "The Dragon Slayer" is a vision of the future of the information age. The whole universe is a computer simulation, the man is God's programming language, the word "The Dragon Slayer," representing the steadfastness of a few.
“坚守”也是长铗创业的一个关键词。
“Standing fast” is also a key word for long-term entrepreneurship.
打通比特世界和原子世界
从2013年底到2016年初,比特币价格持续低迷,技术崇拜者们的注意力开始转移到比特币的底层技术——区块链。
From late 2013 to early 2016, Bitcoin prices continued to be depressed, and the attention of technology admirers began to shift to the bottom technology-block chain in Bitcoin.
2016年,长铗出版了《区块链:从数字货币到信用》一书,写书之余,他一直琢磨着区块链的商业应用,那是最难熬的一段时间。
In 2016, the book " Block Chains: From Digital Currency to Credit " was published, and he kept thinking about the commercial application of block chains, which was the hardest part.
那年夏天,在三里屯的咖啡馆,长铗花了几个小时向全天候科技记者介绍他和团队研发的新产品——基于比特币跨境交易的钱包。那段时间长铗见了众多主流VC投资人,希望为自己的新产品找到融资。
During the summer, at the three-mile café, Chang-hoon spent hours introducing the new products he and the team developed -- wallets based on cross-border transactions in bitcoin -- to tech reporters around the clock. That time saw a lot of mainstream VC investors, hoping to find financing for their new products.
他碰壁了无数次,这个构想当时还不被大多数VC投资人认可,比特币支付一直受政策影响,前途尚不明朗,这个产品最终也没有做起来。
He had touched the wall numerous times and the idea had not been endorsed by the majority of VC investors at the time, and Bitcoin payments had been influenced by policy, the future had not been clear, and the product had not finally come to fruition.
巴比特以社区优势为依托,启动区块链公链项目比原链(Bytom),在2016年9月获得千万级Pre-A轮融资,投资方为启赋资本、创新谷、梅花天使。获得新资金的长铗,发起以运营为导向的资讯业务向以技术为导向的区块链公链开发的战略转型。
Babbitt, relying on community advantage, launched the block chain project as opposed to the original (Bytom) and received tens of thousands of Pre-A rounds of financing in September 2016, with investors providing capital, innovation valleys, and clubs angels. The acquisition of new funds led to the launch of a strategic shift from business-oriented information operations to technology-oriented public chain development.
在从业者看来,数字资产是一种比特资产,传统物理世界对应物的权证、股息、债券、预测信息是原子资产,两者之间存在兑换难题,目前比特资产之间都尚未打通流通界限,公链、私链、联盟链应用中的资产、权益只能在各自圈内运行。
As far as practitioners are concerned, digital assets are a bit asset, and there are problems of exchange between conventional physical world counterparts whose titles, dividends, bonds, predictions and information are atomic assets. At present, none of the Bit assets has yet been able to bridge the lines of circulation, and assets and interests in public, private and union chain applications can only operate within their own circles.
在巴比特社区,一些用户们反映希望能实现资产跨链流通。今年初,长铗开始着手比原链的搭建工作,连通比特世界与原子世界,建造起一个多元化资产的登记、流通的去中心化网络。
In the Babbit community, some users have expressed a desire to move assets across the chain. At the beginning of this year, Changjian began to build a network of decentralized registration and circulation of diversified assets by connecting the world of bits to the world of atoms.
长铗向全天候科技介绍,比原链的BUTXO模型,基于比特币的UTXO,扩展为多种资产的UTXO, 比原链与AI结合,在共识机制采用对人工智能ASIC芯片友好型POW算法,在哈希过程中引入矩阵和卷积计算,使得矿机在闲置或被淘汰后,可用于AI硬件加速服务,产生额外的社会效益。
The Quantium introduces to all-weather technology the BUTXO model of the original chain, the UTXO based on Bitcoin, which is expanded to a multi-asset UTXO, compared to the integration of the original chain with AI, the adoption of an artificial intelligence ASIC chip-friendly Pow algorithm in the consensus mechanism, and the introduction of matrix and volume calculations in the Hashi process, allowing miners to use AI hardware acceleration services after idle or obsolete, with additional social benefits.
而那些部署了人工智能ASIC芯片的智能设备,也能在闲置的时候挖矿,从而降低运行成本。比原链也是全球第一个使用AI ASIC挖矿的区块链项目。
And smart devices that deploy artificial intelligence ASIC chips can also dig in idle time, thereby reducing operating costs. Compared to the original chain is the first block chain project in the world to use AI ASIC for mining.
比原链的应用场景主要是资产的登记流通。
The application scenario of the original chain is mainly the registered circulation of assets.
传统证券化资产的发行必须先找到一家券商,公司与证券中介机构签订募集合同,完成繁琐的申请流程后,才能寻求投资者认购。针对收益权、股权与证券化资产等,比原链提供透明的规则与审计:智能合约在比原链上留下永久不变的公开记录,记录不可被篡改,也不会丢失。
The issuance of traditional securitized assets requires the identification of a securities firm, the conclusion of a collection contract with the securities intermediary, and the completion of a cumbersome application process before seeking an investor’s offer. For earnings, equity, and securitized assets, transparent rules and auditing are provided over the original chain: intelligent contracts leave a permanent public record on the chain, which cannot be tampered with or lost.
通过比原链,证券化资产的发行、登记与流通效率更高。吴世春认为,长期来看,这类区块链底层技术平台,比一般的创新项目有更高的价值回报。
The release, registration and circulation of securitized assets are more efficient than in the original chain. Wu Shichun argues that in the long run, such block chain bottom technology platforms have a higher value return than conventional innovation projects.
区块链困局:杀手级应用在哪里?
最近,比特币在国际市场再次掀起一波牛市,并且登录美国芝加哥期权交易所(CBOE)和芝加哥商品交易所(CME),主流金融机构都希望在这场牛市中分一杯羹。
Recently, Bitcoin has re-emerged a bull market on the international market and has entered the United States of America's Chicago Stock Exchange (CBOE) and the Chicago Commodity Exchange (CME), where mainstream financial institutions want a piece of the bull.
长铗的读者们开始关注比特币,在他的百度贴吧里,关于比特币的话题开始活跃,一个网友发帖问:“长铗老师,现在在投资什么币种呀?想跟着你买币。”
The readers began to focus on bitcoin, and in his 100-degree bar, the topic of bitcoin became active, and an online friend asked, "What currency are you investing in now? Wanting to buy money with you?"
其实,在币价之外,长铗正在思考新命题:现在区块链的发展,到了一个需要杀手级应用的关口,让用户爆炸式增长的杀手级应用、颠覆的商业模式,将会是什么?
In fact, beyond the value of the currency, Jang was thinking about a new proposition: what would be the development of the chain of blocks and the development of a killer-class business model that would require a killer-level application and subversion that would allow the user to grow explosively?
如果不解决这个问题,没有清晰的商业模式,比特币就难以挣扎出主流世界为其扣上的“泡沫”帽子。
In the absence of a clear business model to address this problem, Bitcoin would be difficult to overcome the “foam” hat that the mainstream world holds for it.
回顾科技史,早期移动互联网公司也遇到了众多困难,后来的成功实属意外——以iphone为代表的智能手机逐渐成熟,程序员基于iOS可以开发很多应用,智能机用户越来越多,创业者们的思路更加开拓。
Looking back at the history of science and technology, early mobile Internet companies have also encountered many difficulties, and subsequent successes have been unexpected — smartphones represented by iphones are maturing, programmers can develop many applications on the basis of iOS, smart machine users are growing and entrepreneurs' ideas are opening up.
未来的杀手级应用会在哪个领域?
What area will the future killer-level applications be?
长铗经历了两次比特币暴跌,他意识到:区块链面临的问题不是资金,也不是人,而是人们的认知成本,以及政策的不确定性。
After two sharp drops in bitcoin, he realized that the problem with the block chain was not financial or human, but rather the perceived cost of people and the uncertainty of policy.
2013年,比特币价格一度涨到8000元人民币,当年底,受到监管政策影响,比特币价格暴跌至1000元人民币左右,随后几年,媒体不断曝光比特币的负面新闻。长铗和他的巴比特,经历了长时间的冷清,读者和用户因为赚钱的机会而来,因为赚钱的机会消失而离去。
In 2013, the price of Bitcoin rose once to RMB 8,000, and at the end of the year, under the influence of regulatory policies, the price of Bitcoin fell sharply to around RMB 1,000. In subsequent years, the media continued to expose the negative news of Bitcoin.
2017年,比特币市场再度火爆,9月监管政策再度来袭,这一次,国内所有数字货币交易平台都关闭了,在交易所利润受损的投资人们,也逐渐离场。
In 2017, the Bitcoin market re-emerged and regulatory policies re-emerged in September. This time, all digital money trading platforms in the country were closed and investors with lost profits on the exchange gradually left.
“有些赚钱的领域机会多,明知道技术对行业有帮助,但是因为政策敏感、监管重点关注,所以创业者们应该避开,比如金融领域。”长铗告诉全天候科技。
“There are areas where there are opportunities to make money, knowing that technology helps the industry, but because of policy sensitivity and regulatory focus, entrepreneurs should avoid, for example, the financial sector.” Long talk to all-weather technology.
创业者们能涉足的领域,不仅政策上不敏感,还得领域宽广,有很多商业机会,这并不是简单的课题,区块链从业者们还在寻找答案。
The areas where entrepreneurs can engage are not only policy insensitive, but also wide-ranging, with many business opportunities. This is not a simple subject, and the people in the block chain are still looking for answers.
