Recently, a "3 o'clock sleepless blockchain group" (hereinafter referred to as the 3 o'clock sleepless group) has become popular in the investment circle!

According to China Entrepreneur Magazine, investment giants such as Sequoia Capital Shen Nanpeng, 360 Chairman Zhou Hongyi, angel investors Cai Wensheng, and Xue Manzi are all in this group, and there are even celebrities such as Gao Xiaosong, Tong Liya, Lin Yuner, and Han Geng.

This WeChat group created on February 11 reached the upper limit of 500 members in less than a day.

During the Spring Festival, it is said that the total amount of red envelopes in this group reached one million.

However, this is not the main motivation for celebrities and big shots to join the group. It is even forbidden to publish information such as currency speculation and ICO in this group.

People in the group mainly learn about the application prospects of blockchain technology.

I noticed that according to the definition of "China's Blockchain Technology and Application Development White Paper" issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, blockchain is an innovation in the Internet era of computer technologies such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, encryption mechanisms, and encryption algorithms.

Application mode.

Blockchain technology is considered to be a disruptive innovation in computing models after mainframes, personal computers, and the Internet, and is likely to cause a new technological innovation and industrial change on a global scale.

Today, with the price of Bitcoin “cutting in half” from its peak, and the strict supervision of countries such as China, the craze for “virtual currency” has begun to dissipate.

However, as the underlying technology, blockchain is expected to be widely used in finance, supply chain management, manufacturing, Internet of Things and other fields in the future.

The group has distributed over one million red envelopes in seven days. The "3 O'clock Sleepless Blockchain Group" was originally founded by Yuhong on February 11. Yuhong was previously the main person in charge of 360 Games and is now the founder of SEEU & QYGAME.

The author has launched the large-scale online game "Basic World" based on blockchain.

Since it was three o'clock in the morning when the group was first established, it was named the 3 O'clock Sleepless Blockchain Group.

In this WeChat group, known as the No. 1 blockchain information group, there are Sequoia Capital Shen Nanpeng, 360 Chairman Zhou Hongyi, angel investors Cai Wensheng, Xue Manzi, Fenbushi Capital partner Shen Bo, and even Gao Xiaosong,

Stars such as Tong Liya, Lin Yoona, and Han Geng.

Xue Manzi, Li Xiaolai, Chen Weixing, Shuai Chu and others are the earliest participants of the blockchain.

Xue Manzi invested in Quantum Chain, Bytom Chain, and Mo Chain.

Li Xiaolai was the first person in China to invest in Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Chen Weixing also has his own fund and has invested in projects such as Huobi, Binance, and Tron.

Shuai Chu is the founder of Quantum Chain.

Interestingly, the one who received the warmest welcome among those who joined the group was not the industry boss, but the film and television star Tong Liya.

It is said that after Tong Liya was added to the group, there were hundreds of messages welcoming her to join.

Tong Liya said that she is still a beginner in blockchain and hopes 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, No. 1 Matchmaker founder Mu Yan, Meitu CEO Wu Xinhong, etc.

Those who remain in the group often engage in intense “mutual” discussions, and there are also some new members who are thirsty for knowledge and quickly absorb fresh knowledge about the blockchain.

On February 24, Chen Weixing in the group and Zhu Xiaohu, managing director of Jinshajiang Venture Capital, had a "mutual fight" around blockchain.

The cause of the matter was that Zhu Xiaohu forwarded an article about blockchain in his circle of friends, and said not to include him in various 3 o'clock groups. He would rather miss some outlets, and would rather not make some money, otherwise he would not be guaranteed at the end of the festival.

This statement immediately aroused Chen Weixing's refutation.

Chen Weixing asked, is the method of cutting leeks in equity investment more advanced than that in the currency circle?

Is the bubble in the entire blockchain industry as high as the global stock market bubble?

Zhu Xiaohu responded that ICO, a model that tests human nature, has never been successful.

Let’s not talk about currency speculation, just talk about blockchain. Yuhong and the first industry tycoons Xue Manzi, Chen Weixing and others who joined the group also set rules in the group: it is strictly forbidden to post information about currency speculation, ICO, etc. in the group.

information.

Therefore, the topic of chat in the group is mainly the application of blockchain technology.

Guo Hongcai is a well-known figure in the currency circle. He doesn’t know much about blockchain technology, but he became a rich man through currency speculation.

He was kicked out of the group for the second time because he said in the group, "I'm here to make money anyway. Talking about technology is really meaningless... The biggest application of blockchain is currency speculation."

After being kicked out, Guo Hongcai was unconvinced and sulked in another group, "They never talk about making money, it's all too vain." China has always been at the forefront of regulating virtual currency speculation.

In September last year, China completely banned the business of domestic Bitcoin trading platforms.

This regulation also has an impact on global Bitcoin transactions.

On February 5 this year, the People’s Daily published another article discussing “currency speculation” and believed that all countries should strengthen coordinated supervision to prevent systemic risks.

The People's Daily stated that in recent times, various conferences and exchange activities with the themes of blockchain, digital assets, and virtual currencies have emerged one after another, and crazes such as "coin speculation" and "disguised ICO" have also emerged one after another.

Some people join the "coin speculators", hoping to obtain huge returns through short-term speculation.
