Listening | Xi Jinping talked about blockchain within 24 hours, I saw calmness and madness

Twenty-four hours ago, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, delivered an important speech on the blockchain. He emphasized that we should use the blockchain as an important breakthrough for independent innovation of core technologies, and accelerate the development of blockchain technology and industrial innovation.

This is the first time that the country's top leader has elaborated on the blockchain. The People's Daily published the news on the front page, and the news network broadcast a special report for nearly 6 minutes. China's top leaders have paid unprecedented attention to this emerging technology. The news came like a blockbuster, and the industry that was originally calm and lacking in motivation suddenly boiled up.

As soon as the news came out, the market price soared immediately. In the past 24 hours, the price of Bitcoin soared from around US$7,200 to around US$10,300, with a single-day maximum increase of more than 40%, setting a record for the highest single-day increase in recent years, and other currencies also rose sharply. The latest data provided by the security company Paidun to Lingting Blockchain (public account ID: lingtingqkl) shows that in the past 24 hours, the number of transaction addresses on the Bitcoin chain has increased by 27% from the previous day.

As soon as the news came out, senior practitioners commented one after another; some teams immediately organized and studied leaders' speeches; In the working meeting, read the full text of Chairman Xi's speech aloud; a larger part is thinking about how to catch up with this wave of major trends, so that they can be with the cycle and the trend.

Investor: "This is a shot in the arm, and the opportunity to make money is coming"

Mr. A is a core fan of Babbitt. He usually posts his digital currency transaction bills in the Babbitt fan group, and occasionally predicts buying and selling points. He is also working hard to learn blockchain and digital currency related knowledge.

Last month, he posted in the group: "It's a bit boring to watch K-line alone in a seaside bungalow." The following attracted a series of neat messages: Big brother please take me to fly.

Today I asked him: Xi Jinping delivered a speech yesterday, how do you feel?

"This is a shot in the arm, and the opportunity to make money is coming." He further said that as an investor who is not very familiar with blockchain technology, the leader's speech covers a wide range, not only involving practical applications, but also involving Blockchain technology has greatly promoted the field of digital finance, which is a booster.

Today, he has recovered all the previous losses and still has a slight surplus. However, due to the imperfect exchange system, frequent chucking, slippage, and even the failure to update the price in real time, the opportunity to sell at a high point was missed.

Practitioners of large factories: "Those cooperations that could not be pushed before, all took the initiative to find us."

Mr. B is a good friend of mine. He works in the blockchain department of a large company and helps blockchain products to be applied in various industries. He usually contacts many partners, and especially prefers to deal with traditional enterprises. "Because there are many places where value is fragmented in traditional enterprises, blockchain technology transformation is urgently needed."

At 2:30 in the afternoon, he sent me a message: "Concern the editor-in-chief of Xia Tang, let you be busy with the matter of Mr. Xi, don't go through too much."

Then he secretly told me that from last night to now, many cooperations that could not be pushed before have come to them on their own initiative, and they have accelerated the progress of cooperation.

"I used to talk about blockchain to people in traditional enterprises, starting from the most basic concepts. After the lecture, many people's reactions were: Oh, it seems very powerful, but we have to wait and see. Today, it is obvious that It was they who pushed us away, which is a very good signal. We have done the basic work and waited for the moment when the industrial blockchain will shine.” But Mr. C, the person in charge of another leading supplier of blockchain technology, expressed to me his deepest concerns. He believes that the upsurge in the past 24 hours is definitely good for a large number of unreliable teams, but it may not be a good thing for teams that are already very capable and have stable cash flow.

"Valuable things don't need to be over-promoted. The previous project you mentioned in the previous example can't be pushed, and Xi Jinping will find it as soon as he speaks. This is because it is worthless. Party A doesn't want to pay, and now it needs to deal with political tasks and pay less. money, so no fundamental change has been brought about," he said.

Academia: "A lot of people came to me early in the morning for solutions"

Early this morning, Mr. D was woken up by many phone calls. People from the government, scientific research institutions, and universities called him: "Brother, the opportunity has finally come!"

He is a returnee Ph.D. with a technical background. He followed his mentor to do some Chinese and foreign technology and academic resource docking and government project implementation.

Early in the morning, a government official from an inland city called him:

"Last year we appealed everywhere, and others were skeptical. Just yesterday when I was doing a road show, I was questioned. Today, the situation is different. Let's quickly make some report materials, and I will report to the government and strive for government funding. Support. Because in the next year, the capital market and the investment and financing circle must be dominated by blockchain. We need you very much, please come up with a plan for me.” My friend, Mr. D, is here all day today Make a plan.

He finally said to me: "Maybe, this time, some changes are happening quietly."

The above 4 small clips are my real experience in the past 24 hours, and they represent the voices of different subjects. At the end of my article, a friend who used to do equity investment sent a message asking me how to open an account.

After answering his question, I looked through several high-quality technology groups represented by "Babbitt Columnist Group", "Beijing Digital Economy Commune" and "Blockchain Service Entity Discussion Group". The following questions were asked: How much does Xi Jinping's speech have to do with Libra? How do centralization and decentralization play? Is Bitcoin a Colossal Threat to Incumbent Financial Power? Is Bitcoin a store of value or a means of payment? And how China is leading the wave.

At this moment, some of my media colleagues are keeping an eye on the market, some are preparing feature articles, and some are preparing some blockchain courses to prepare for the upcoming future.

In the general trend, everyone is looking for their own positioning. Whether it is a gust of wind or a valuable future, time will give the answer.
