Today, a "closed-door meeting" in the currency circle where the total net worth of the participants exceeded 100 billion and it was hard to find a ticket was held. Many well-known investors in the classical Internet circle appeared. A group photo of bigwigs ignited the Internet circle and broke the dimensional wall.

Feng Bo's shoes and V God's watch are on fire
In the currency circle, the names and faces of Shen Nanpeng, Wang Xing, Zhang Tao, V God and others have long been familiar. After the photos were released, many people curiously asked on Weibo and the community, who is the man in purple in the picture? ?
In fact, Feng Bo, the boss in the picture, wearing a purple suit and stepping on AJ, is the most mysterious guest in this conference. In media reviews, Feng Bo is called the first generation of investors in China. As early as 1994, Feng Bo invested in the domestic market on behalf of Robertson Stevens of the United States. At the same time, Feng Bo is often called the most mysterious investor because he does not often accept media interviews.
Afterwards, Lianchuang Ceyuan, founded by Feng Bo, successfully invested in well-known Internet projects such as Xunlei, Fancl, Qihoo 360, Douban, PPS, Dianping, and Jiayuan at an early stage. It is worth noting that the investment projects listed on Lianchuang Ceyuan’s official website also include OKcoin, an exchange founded by Xu Mingxing in the early days. OKcoin is now a well-known enterprise in the currency circle.
While this group photo went viral on the Internet, it also ushered in spoof comments from netizens.
Someone joked through the clothes of several people: the blockchain circle is very hot (summer), the Internet circle is very cold (winter), and equity investment is harvesting (fall).
Someone even found out that the price of AJ on Feng Bo's feet is as high as 30,000 yuan on "Poison". In comparison, the Swatch worn by God V, who is also expensive, looks very cute.
The media Huxiu also posted speculation on Weibo: I don’t know what the four people did when they met. Could it be that VC is going to enter the blockchain again?

"Closed meeting" worth hundreds of billions
The pictures on the screen of the circle of friends this time should come from a cryptocurrency conference held by Dragonfly Capital, an encrypted asset investment fund.
The conference agenda disclosed by Dragonfly Capital has already been screened in various currency circles last week. The disclosed agenda shows that only the guests on the first day of the meeting are already gathered by heavyweights.
Not only Shen Nanpeng, the global executive partner of Sequoia Capital in the traditional Internet circle, but also many topical figures in the currency circle, such as Wu Jihan, the world's largest mining machine manufacturer Bitmain, V God, the founder of Ethereum, and the leading digital currency exchange in the United States. Fred Ehrsam, co-founder of Coinbase, Xu Mingxing, founder of the well-known digital currency exchange OKCoin, Li Lin, founder of the equally well-known exchange Huobi, and Diogo Monica, one of Facebook's blockchain project Libra node providers and founder of custody service provider Anchorage wait.
For the Internet circle, these characters may be unfamiliar. Except for Shen Nanpeng with a net worth of 30 billion and Wang Xing with a net worth of 40 billion, the worth of some other figures in the currency circle should not be underestimated.
According to public information, Bitmain was as high as 13 billion to 15 billion US dollars before the IPO, and Wu Jihan himself was on the Hurun rich list with a net worth of 17 billion; It is rumored to range from hundreds of millions to billions (there is also a problem of excessive fluctuations in the price of Ethereum); Fred Ehrsam, the co-founder of Coinbase, has also joined the largest crypto venture capital fund in the currency circle, with a capital scale of more than one billion US dollars.
That is to say, according to the disclosed net worth of the participating leaders, the gold content of this closed-door meeting may have already exceeded 100 billion.
The conference topics covered the future of cryptocurrency, smart contract platform, centralized financial infrastructure construction, exchange landscape, investment trends, decentralized finance (DeFi), and next-generation technology. Not small.
It is rare in the currency circle to invite so many bigwigs together. Of course, Feng Bo's contribution is indispensable. In fact, besides Lianchuang Ceyuan, Feng Bo is also the manager of Dragonfly Capital, specializing in investing in encrypted assets.
In October 2018, the media reported that Dragonfly Capital, the organizer of the conference, completed a fundraising of US$100 million. Investors included Shen Nanpeng of Sequoia Capital, Bao Fan, founder of China Renaissance Capital, and Xu Xiaoping, founder of ZhenFund. , Baidu founder Xu Yong, Meituan chairman Zhang Tao, Meitu founder Cai Wensheng, and Bitmain. According to reports, the Dragonfly Capital Fund has invested in more than 20 blockchain projects, including well-known blockchain projects such as Basis, Spacemesh, and Oasis Labs.
In other words, many of the participants this time are Dragonfly Capital's LPs or invested projects.
And Wang Xing in the crazy photos on the Internet is not on the agenda. Although he is not a guest speaker, the appearance of Wang Xing is not surprising. Wang Xing is a familiar face in the currency circle.
Although rooted in the Internet circle, Wang Xing often updates his understanding and evaluation of new things in the blockchain in his social application Fanfou. He can be regarded as one of the Internet people who are most concerned about the blockchain. Therefore, Meituan is often dubbed the Internet project closest to the blockchain. Another scene picture shows that Wang Xing is likely to be seated in the second row of the conference site.

What did you guys discuss?
Since this Dragonfly Capital conference adopts an invitation system, the content discussed in the conference is not publicly disclosed. At present, various media have released several public industry newsletter:
When asked what is currently in the industry, "do you think it should have happened but it hasn't happened yet?", V God thought it was "the progress of the wallet", Wu Jihan thought it was "payment with cryptocurrency", Fred Ehrsam Think of it as "more and better games, prediction markets".
At the same time, according to Lane Rettig, an ecological developer of Ethereum, at the meeting, Vitalik, the founder of Ethereum, said: The development speed of technology is slower than I expected. Five years ago, I thought we were done with PoS and sharding by now. This is true of Ethereum, but so is every other project. We underestimate the importance of community. Two years ago, I was a firm believer that if you built good techniques, they will build naturally. Now, we see that good technology doesn't happen without investing in the community, or it's not as good.
When talking about any competitors that made V God feel the pressure, V God responded: "NEAR has done a very good job. I thought Dfinity was a difficult competitor before, but they themselves encountered some unexpected challenges. gone."
We still don’t know what kind of cooperation and remarks the several domestic internet circle bigwigs reached in this meeting, but at least for people in the currency circle, they finally waited for a collective participation of the Internet circle bigwigs. In the field, probably this recharge of faith can last for a while.
