cryptocurrency believer
Yesterday I watched a recent interview with Changpeng Zhao of Binance. In the interview, Changpeng Zhao mentioned such a prediction:
"The industry is still in its infancy, and only 1% to 2% of the world's people have digital currency. From this perspective, there should be 50 to 100 times more room for development."
This is Changpeng Zhao’s personal analysis when replying to the reporter’s views on the future of Bitcoin.
Judging from Changpeng Zhao’s past experience, especially the matter of selling a house and buying bitcoins, I believe that he said this from the heart, rather than talking big for attention.
Why is Changpeng Zhao so optimistic about the future of Bitcoin?
In my opinion, the most fundamental reason should come from inner belief. Therefore, the long-term judgment of a thing, especially a new thing, sometimes the most fundamental starting point comes from faith. Other elements, such as data and logic, must be supported by faith in order to extend imagination, form rich pictures, and present glorious future.
Faith does not only come from blind optimism, but more often comes from the blows and setbacks experienced.
In this slump, we can find such a phenomenon that many of the more determined and optimistic market prospects are former old leek players.
why? Because these people are experienced people, they have experienced countless plunges, zero returns, and supervision, and when they survived these ups and downs and setbacks, they all ushered in light and miracles, so this proves their persistence and persistence under extreme pessimism. The belief is right, which proves that their belief is reliable, which makes their belief stronger and stronger.
And where does this belief come from?
For Changpeng Zhao, it comes from the following personal experience:
"I read the Bitcoin white paper in mid-2013. After understanding this technology, I think it may work (operate), but decentralization requires a community. Whether this community exists, what kind of people are people, I I need to meet. So at the end of 2013, I went to Las Vegas, USA to attend a summit. Now the big names in the industry, including Vitalik, etc., were all at the summit.
After going there, I found that this group of children was very sincere and worked very hard. At that time, a person transferred some coins to me in order to teach me how to use the wallet. After I learned it, I said I would transfer the coins back to you. He said no, you can keep it. You can use this coin to teach the next person. . I took a look, and it was about three hundred dollars, a few thousand yuan, not a lot, but not a lot. These people are really not out to scam money, they are not the drug bosses mentioned in the newspapers, they are just a bunch of technical kids.
When the meeting was over and I was about to leave at the airport, I said that I would sell my house to buy Bitcoin, and I would resign, and join this industry 100%, no matter what I do, I can write code. "
During this experience, the sincerity and hard work of these "technical kids" moved him, making him believe that such a group of people is promoting this cause, and it will succeed in the future, so he decided to join this industry without hesitation.
After reading this passage, I am deeply moved. Because I also had the feeling of deja vu, I once wrote in my past articles: Sometimes a sentence from the project party on the official website or a sentence in the project white paper will make me feel that the team behind the project is different, and will Feel the full drive and idealism of the project team.
This kind of innocence from the heart is often the starting point of a great career and the fundamental guarantee of career success.
In terms of investment, this kind of innocence is often the basis for judging whether a project is valuable; in terms of career, this kind of innocence is often the basis for judging whether a field has a future.
