Is there a "new continent" in the blockchain world?
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2021. Looking back at this time last year, we were still fighting the epidemic. Although the epidemic is still there at this time this year, there is no such haze as last year.
After a year, we have experienced a lot. The development speed of the currency circle can be calculated in days. I believe this year will still be the case, especially the current development trend in the DeFi field.
At this time next year, if the currency circle is still in the bull market stage, what kind of grand scene will it be? If we have stepped into a bear market, what kind of mood do we have? Regret or gratification?
Thinking of these, I am both full of expectations and a little uneasy about the future.
Two days ago I wrote in an article that Bitcoin may be completely insulated from ordinary people after this round of bull market. What I want to express is a kind of regret for the complete loss of the opportunity for ordinary investors to invest in Bitcoin.
In fact, this is an inevitable law of the development of any industry or thing. In every era, we will encounter such opportunities, but due to various karma, we may pass these opportunities by.
In the past two days, a senior in the circle expressed such emotion:
All the virgin land in the blockchain world has been reclaimed,
There will be no more virgin land,
The world map of the blockchain has been drawn,
Don't expect to discover a new continent anymore.
This message attracted many replies, most of which expressed disagreement with this view.
I can understand the inner feelings of this senior. I think what he wants to express in this passage is not that the blockchain field has no opportunities at all, but that the barbaric era in the past, the era when you can fight the world with bare hands has passed.
Of course we will still witness miracles in the future, and of course there will be a new generation of trendsetters on the stage. But the threshold for creating new miracles will be much higher, and the literacy and qualifications of the new generation of trendsetters will be much higher. Therefore, the chances of ordinary people being able to create miracles will become increasingly slim.
In an era when bitcoins were only a few yuan or tens of hundreds of yuan, all a "barbarian" who boldly entered the currency circle needed was to cross the cognitive barrier and buy this unbelievable thing to outsiders. At that time, everyone had no threshold in terms of economic conditions, and theoretically they could seize opportunities. The difference lies in "cognition".
And when Bitcoin rose to hundreds of thousands of yuan, the vast majority of people in the circle had no cognitive barriers and recognized the value of Bitcoin, but at this time, obstacles in economic conditions blocked most people from out the door.
The best-told story of the first-generation digital currency wavers, who were neither wealthy nor computer-savvy professionals, is how they stuck to their bitcoins.
However, in the wave of DeFi, we rarely hear stories about a certain Xiaobai becoming a big star in the circle by virtue of which token he holds. Although the increase of many project tokens is also considerable, the increase of most coins is almost negligible compared with the historical increase of Bitcoin. In this tide, the real standouts are the entrepreneurial teams behind these leading projects, and the tokens they hold are the symbol of wealth.
And these entrepreneurs are no longer bare-handed "savages", but more and more professionals. They can write codes, program, and are proficient in financial business. The founders of quite a few projects are even winners of the Mathematical Olympiad. By.
It is almost impossible for ordinary Xiaobai to become the main force in this wave. Even if we can gain some wealth by investing in these projects, it is almost negligible compared with the founders of these projects.
This evolution is already happening and will accelerate in the future.
Therefore, from now on, if you are still interested in making a breakthrough in this field, what you need is no longer just cognition, but more is to combine your own majors to find your own experience in this field. opportunity. This is a requirement for practitioners, and it is also the same for ordinary investors. Now with the development of the industry, there are more and more investment targets, the complexity and professionalism are becoming higher and higher, and the requirements for investment capabilities are also increasing. high.
