Forbes Global blockchain
There is no doubt that blockchain has development prospects, and the necessary condition for development prospects is to enter the mainstream market
North America blockchain infrastructure the oan (former aion network) founder and CEO Matt spoke published an article entitled "in order to successfully enter the mainstream market, blockchain projects must" eat dog food "in Forbes on July 24, in which Matt mentioned his views on how blockchain should enter the mainstream market - & quot; Eat dog food
in the science and technology circle, there is a jargon called & quot; Eat dog food Dogfood (also known as eating your own dog food) refers to companies using their own procts and becoming users of their own procts. Many high growth companies (such as Microsoft, Facebook, Amazon, apple, Netflix and Google) also test their procts by "eating dog food" or help build credibility“ "Eat dog food" is often used to find and fix bugs, but it has another value: to create reliable use cases for the company's procts
this is worth learning from blockchain projects, because blockchain projects often hold & quot; Once built, they (users) will come naturally, which habitually leaves the responsibility of creating new and interesting blockchain applications to a third party
this attitude is very common, even the well-known blockchain summit consensus 2019 also held a conference entitled & quot; Once built, they (users) will naturally come: to build a global blockchain Center & quot; To discuss how governments around the world can make efforts to attract blockchain projects while balancing regulatory, investment and innovation needs
to be fair, this strategy may be effective for blockchains that only focus on people in the currency circle. For the security token, especially for the exchange represented by the transaction, it makes more sense - "supply creates demand" is the usual idea here, especially considering that the realization of these transactions requires the construction of complex infrastructure
in contrast, "eat dog food" is more likely to be adopted by blockchain project developers who seek mainstream audiences (such as those in financial instry, manufacturing and supply chain, identity management, etc.). If blockchain technology wants to enter these mainstream fields, blockchain companies must first "eat dog food". This can not only clearly prove that blockchain technology is feasible outside the coin circle, but also highlight that blockchain can not only optimize existing use cases, but also create new use cases
and the oan team has been adhering to this concept, and relying on the oan and aion's technology stack built over the years, it has developed a financial technology platform moves for independent workers
Matt said that in the development and development of moves, the team hopes that the relevant functions of the OAN blockchain network can be brought into full play, so it will focus on the following three aspects:
1. How to use the OAN blockchain network to improve the credit efficiency of the proct there are two main considerations to improve credit efficiency: 1) can we use the mechanism of the defi market to rece the cost of capital; 2) Can the blockchain technology be used to increase the external trust in the credit process of moves. Here, moves will form a mechanism of "pooling wisdom", so that everyone can contribute to recing credit risk and increasing the credibility of credit process, and may even develop a micro guarantee mechanism in the future. Therefore, users will be able to participate in the market established by the platform as borrowers, lenders or guarantors
specifically, by connecting moves with the oan network, and with the help of digital asset aion, a relationship of interest consistency is formed between procts and users, so that users can personally experience the success of moves procts and directly participate in the oan, a blockchain network supporting moves
3. How to create the first open system of financial reputation data with moves
this open system may become a substitute for traditional credit scores or related mechanisms. Over the years, banks and financial institutions have been using Equifax, Fico or other similar institutions' scores as risk indicators, and the moves team believes that the procts they are building will be a good start - the beginning of a more perfect and modern financial reputation system. This is a long-term goal
moves supports North American mainstream carpooling, take out and other casual work economic platforms, and will be the flagship open application developed by the oan on its blockchain network. In June, moves expanded its operations from Ontario to Alberta and British Columbia into western Canada
all the initiatives of the oan team adhere to the spirit of "eating dog food" and strive to make blockchain technology enter the mainstream market as soon as possible. Blockchain is not for the minority, but for the mainstream. In addition to the oan team, many projects and institutions in the blockchain instry are also aiming at this goal. Can you say that such an excellent and targeted blockchain has no development prospects
1. has gone through 17 years of super big bull market, and it has been in the stage of digestion for the past 3 years.
after leeks have been cheated for countless times, they are more cautious about new projects. The era when a white paper and an official website can earn money is gone forever
2. Blockchain projects are difficult to implement, and there is no physical support
in the currency circle, no matter what projects are blown to the sky, unlike instry, which has no sustainable hematopoietic capacity, it can only end up with zero
3. All model currencies are Ponzi schemes
mode money, not to mention, all models are pyramid pyramid selling models, which reward the first arrivals with the money of the latecomers, and the bigger the bubbles, the collapse is only a matter of time.
is it true that the coin circle is so dead that there is no hope? If you really want to start a new craze in the currency circle, the top 3 problems must be overcome. That is to say, if there is a project that can control risks without bubbles and have physical support, without pyramid schemes, it will be a long and steady way to make money.
before that, some people would surely say that the purpose of the state's strong support for real enterprises is to revive the economy after the epidemic. However, in reality, it is difficult for entities to continue, let alone blockchain projects. As a result, I noticed a project called Forbes. After studying the white paper, I suddenly felt that it was like discovering a new continent. Unlike any project I have ever seen, this project has perfectly realized the above vision! Let's explore it with curiosity and see what kind of immortal project it is< First of all, Forbes project is zero fund-raising. Note that there is no fund-raising at the beginning, which eliminates the possibility of money collection. Before the launch of Forbes project token GFS, there was only bitcoin mining business at the beginning. It seems that bitcoin mining can't be achieved with eight strokes. What does this have to do with the project itself? We'll explain later. Let's talk about the mining business first. Forbes first launched the "miner's Union Plan". If you want to participate, you only need to pledge the deposit to purchase the computing power or mining machinery, and you can continue to obtain the mining income. Pay attention to why the project risk is controllable. The key points are as follows:
1. The deposit is returned daily for a period of one year through the smart contract
the smart contract is deployed on Ethereum, the deposit usdt is returned every day, and the smart contract is open source, which ensures that the principal can be recovered 100% regardless of the outcome of the project
2. Mining income can be withdrawn every day
the income from bitcoin mining will also be automatically converted into stable currency, which can be withdrawn every day, so that we can make steady money
3. Physical bitcoin mine pool support, field investigation
the reason why the project is supported by entities is that 100% of the deposit pledged by users is used to buy bitcoin mining machines. Forbes cooperates with global head mine bitmainland, and the mine can be inspected at any time
in this way, in the early stage of Forbes project, users can earn mining profits almost without risk by participating in bitcoin mining through 100% deposit return. If it's just mining, Forbes is not enough to have a big impact on the coin circle. After all, there are two problems: one is that the cycle is too long, and the other is that there is no promotion mode. Although the model coins of the 19-year-old fire all ended in collapse, the reason for the fire was that there was a model to see how Forbes broke the game< Second, the static and dynamic al mode, the fuse is on the verge of firing
as mentioned above, the payback cycle of the deposit for the purchase of mining machinery is as long as one year, so many people may be deterred. Forbes has designed two models. If you don't do anything after you buy a miner, you can only make money slowly through the daily deposit released and the income generated. At present, the annual income is about 180%. This is called static model. If you want to make money quickly, Forbes has designed a dynamic model
in dynamic mode, it is divided into three moles
1
in the mining area, if there is a wet season, the income of mining will increase, so Forbes often launch this activity in the wet season. 10% of the deposit of the first single miner directly pushed by users was released immediately. For example, if I bought a 1000u miner, originally the 1000u deposit was released for one year, but if I recommend five people to buy the miner, and all the five people bought the 1000u miner, then 10% of the total amount of the deposit, that is, 500U, can be released immediately. In this way, I can promote 5 people at most and get back half of the book immediately
in addition, it should be noted that the funds released here are the sum of deposit and income, not only deposit
2. Direct promotion increased the release by 20%, and indirect promotion increased the release by 10%
this is very easy to understand. Take my purchase of 1000u miner as an example. When it's not promoted, the deposit plus mining revenue will release about 7U every day. If one person directly pushes and the person buys 1000u mining machine, then I will increase the release money by 20%, which is 1.4u. If the person directly pushes and the person also buys 1000u mining machine, then it belongs to indirect promotion. I can increase the release money by 10%, which is 0.7u, My daily release amount is 7U + 1.4u + 0.7u = 9.1u. The more you push, the faster you release. That's the mechanism
3
the so-called trade union refers to other performance areas beyond the maximum performance line under the umbrella, because I am the recommender of all the people under the umbrella, so I am the president. In order to encourage users to work as trade unions, leaders of different levels of trade unions can get different levels of release rewards. For example, if I only need the total capital of direct push and indirect push to reach 50000 u, I can become a V1 Union. Then 12% of the total revenue of bitcoin g up in the whole network will be equally distributed to all V1 union presidents for release, and so on
in the promotion mode of Forbes, all these promotion rewards are only the release of your principal and income, not the next fund. This is different from other MLM project core elements
that is to say, it would take a year to release the principal and mining income without doing anything, but if I carry out promotion, it can greatly increase the speed of cost recovery and income generation. When the promotion reward reaches the sum of the deposit and income, the promotion reward is no longer effective
some people may say that it's not worthwhile for me to work hard to build such a huge community just for the principal and 180% of the annual income from mining. In fact, when the deposit and income are all released, you can choose to reinvest again, so that the promotion reward has been released
some people will ask again, the income of bitcoin mining is uncertain every day, why is the release associated with the expected future income? Forbes expects that the annual income of mining bitcoin will reach 180%, which is much higher than that of other mines. Where does the capital come from
it is very important to explain this problem, because Forbes is a pure entity and no foam project, so there can be no Ponzi scheme.
1. As the project has its own promotion mode, once it is started, the ore pool will grow rapidly, so the huge size of the ore pool will have a strong base to follow the price of the power plant. Generally, the electricity cost of the mine pool may be more than 0.35, while the electricity cost of Forbes can save a lot
2. With the support of the world's top mines, the more mining machines purchased, the less marginal cost. Therefore, the cost of mining machines is actually lower than the average cost of all users, and this cost difference is also one of the benefits
3. Forbes has set up a "mine pool fund", which uses 20% of the income of the whole network mining output to enter the fund pool. This fund is used for special purpose, and will continue to buy mining machines to expand the income, so the project has the ability of sustainable hematopoiesis
Third, the overall situation of Forbes, the final project vision to achieve distributed finance
the meaning of a drunken man is not wine. It would be a big mistake to think that Forbes is just a new exploration of mining mode. What the project really wants to achieve is the implementation of cross chain technology and the first echelon of distributed finance
"Forbes miner alliance" is only the first step. With the main network going online, many nodes are gathered through mining, and the ecology will suddenly have a place to play, which is invincible. As we all know, the most popular blockchain concept is difi (distributed Finance), which is also the field that Ethereum 2.0 will go deep into in the future. What Forbes really wants to build in the future is to win the crown of decentralized finance and become the "UnionPay" of the coin circle
when the Forbes mine pool matures, Forbes will launch the main network and token GFS, and the output of GFS can only be obtained by purchasing the exclusive miner. Since participating in the early bitcoin mining is also equivalent to making contributions to the node ecology, ring the miner alliance period, users can choose to convert the mining income into GFS certificates, and after the main network line, they can map the main network token one by one. If you are optimistic about the future of GFS, the exchange of mining income into GFS voucher in advance is also an option to expand the income
of course, that's the same thing. Forbes project is real, real landing, zero risk, no bubble. Different from other deceptive projects, the income will be forced to be converted into a project token. Users can freely choose to convert mining income into GFS, and they can also freely choose to purchase GFS mining machines in the future. If you are not optimistic about the Forbes project, it doesn't matter. It's good to make money safely from bitcoin mining. After all, everyone has different perceptions and different risk tolerance
for me, such a solid project is hard to see in the currency circle. Forbes is not only real, but also does not adhere to the traditional entity mining, and the innovative introction of no foam promotion mode. It can be predicted that this mode is sustainable development, and even I look forward to challenging the top mines of bitcoin. The earlier I participate, the more I can eat meat. This is the essence of my participation in many projects. My mining income is almost converted into GFS certificate for the first time. After all, the Forbes project has just set sail, facing a vast ocean to be developed.
Through the platform of the leading group and office for the construction of party conct and clean government, we will perform the responsibility of assisting the Party group of the CPC Central Committee in organizing and coordinating the construction of party conct and anti-corruption work, focus on urging the leading group and members of the CPC Central Committee to implement the responsibility system for the construction of party conct and clean government, and actively assist the leading group of the CPC Central Committee in investigating the responsibility for the ineffective implementation of the leading group at the Department and bureau level.

Forbes is a group in the first place
next is the indivial, whose full name is Steve Forbes, the president of Forbes group
finally, Mr. Forbes is the most famous financial magazine in the world Forbes magazine is the first large-scale business magazine in the United States. It is forward-looking, uncompromising, clear-cut, anti traditional, informal and concise. The more famous is the Forbes rich list, which is the most authoritative wealth list in the world Forbes magazine recently released an evaluation report on cities in the 21st century, predicting that the world's top ten "super cities" in 2015 will include Shanghai, China, Tokyo, Japan and Mum, India. The report also predicts that as soon as 2100, the imbalance of population growth, natural disasters, climate warming and urbanization will lead to the "dead cities" of San Francisco in the United States and Venice in Italy
the most famous is the Forbes rich list, which is widely concerned.
Forbes: it's impossible for us to refer to his (Hurun) list. We ranked the rich in China as early as 1995
because of Forbes' rich list in mainland China, Hurun has a huge reputation in China. Where will Hurun, who broke up with Forbes, go
Hurun, who is going to return to the UK with his wife, received a phone call from a Chinese reporter at Shanghai Pudong Airport asking him about Li Haicang's views on the shooting incident. It was the afternoon of January 23. Li, an entrepreneur in Shanxi Province, has $195m, ranking 27th on the Forbes list of China's top 100, according to Hurun
in everyone's eyes, Hurun has always been associated with Forbes China's top 100 list. But at this time, Hu just got the news that Forbes will not continue to order the 2003 China top 100 list
Hurun stands at the crossroads of personal future<
Hu Fu breaks down
"I still feel surprised." Hurun didn't know how to express his reaction in Chinese. But he quickly calmed down and continued to enjoy the holiday as planned. At the same time, he will hold a press conference in Beijing on February 21 as planned to launch four newly published books in the "Hurun fortune book series" edited by him
according to the practice in the past few years, Forbes will sign a ranking contract with Hurun at the end of each year for the next year“ I'm talking to them this year, but I haven't finished yet. "
in the new year, Forbes announced that it will publish a Chinese version in China. Then, suddenly, they announced that they would compile China's rich list on their own. When Hurun returned to the UK, he was officially informed by Forbes
the media quickly began to speculate on the reasons for the break-up between Forbes and Hurun and the future of Hurun. According to people familiar with the matter, the fuse is the "Hurun wealth book series". The first book to go on the market soon after last year's list was named "Forbes 2002 China 100", but he was not authorized by Forbes<
fan Luxian, chief representative of Forbes Shanghai office, confirmed this statement. He took the initiative to mention: "Mr. Hu has published many books in the name of" Forbes ", which obviously infringes our intellectual property rights and damages the image of our" Forbes ". You know, to do a good job, sometimes we have to make such a determination. "
but objectively speaking, so far, only one of Hurun's published books has used the word "Forbes". On the contrary, before that, there were dozens of other books and periodicals named "Forbes" in China. "The book is not a major issue," Hurun said<
Forbes' four-year honeymoon ends like lightning. According to Hurun, the main problem is that Forbes has its own new plan, and it is no longer satisfied with a ranking
Forbes quickly revealed its intentions. Senior executives of Forbes visited Shanghai and announced that Forbes would set up an office in China for the first time in its 85 year history. Fan Luxian, the first official employee of Forbes in China, also appeared in public, becoming the first generation of Forbes Shanghai office<
it was immediately announced that Forbes, Newsweek and Harvard Business Review will be approved to enter the Chinese market in the form of "monthly". The Chinese version of Forbes will be published in collaboration with Morningside, a subsidiary of Hong Kong Hang Lung Group "We hope to start sometime in 2003, probably in the first half of the year," Forbes publisher Steve Forbes said in New York<
with the Chinese version as its flagship, Forbes has also launched a package plan: they are negotiating to hold the Forbes Global CEO Summit in Shanghai this year, although it is the last of the three major U.S. financial weekly to hold its annual meeting in China
fan Luxian, who also speaks fluent Chinese, will replace Hurun and continue to compile China's mainland rich list for Forbes. William Adam, vice president of Forbes and President of Asia Pacific region, announced on February 8 that the Forbes China list will also be promoted to entertainment, sports and other fields, and a new list will be set up, such as China celebrity list and star list of performing arts circle
it is obvious that such a huge business plan has been planned for a long time“ We want to integrate China's ranking into the global ranking system. So Forbes wants people with experience in the U.S. headquarters to manage the list in China. " However, Hurun, who is regarded as a "freelance writer" by Forbes, can not find a place in it. Therefore, all kinds of reasons are only regarded as an excuse for Forbes to eliminate dissidents and solve problems left over by history<
Forbes' China plan has a long history. In 1982, former publisher Malcolm Forbes came to China in a hot air balloon. But it was not until last year that his son, Steve Forbes, came to China that he began to discuss bringing "Forbes" into China
in the long 20 years, Hurun has played a transitional role
"it's because of one of my hobbies. I studied in Haidian District of Beijing in 1990. When I came back to work in Shanghai in 1997, I found that great changes had taken place in both Beijing and Shanghai, and I particularly wanted to know the reasons. "
Hurun finally found a way to tell his observations to the world. In 1999, with the help of his Chinese teacher and two friends, he compiled the first list and sent it to Forbes, business week and fortune respectively. He only received a reply from Forbes. In the following four years, the rich list in mainland China became one of the many lists published by Forbes every year<
at this time, business week published the Chinese version, fortune gained a lot of popularity because of the 1999 forum, and Forbes only relied on a rich list to show its existence in the Chinese market. It is undeniable that the rich list has made a very effective preheating for Forbes to officially enter China
like Hurun, there are many Chinese aspirants in the UK, and some of them have found their own positions in China
but in the eyes of Americans, these British people have never been "their own people". Dan, who works for an American multinational company, finds himself in an awkward position. He can't enjoy the same treatment as Americans. He doesn't even have the same opportunities as Chinese employees, because under the slogan of "localization", the company is more willing to cultivate Chinese employees
in a sense, Hurun is also a victim of localization. William Adam made it clear that when a company's investment abroad reaches a certain stage, it is bound to send its own people in the past
in fact, Hurun once tried to rectify its name. It is known that since 2001, Hurun has sought to get closer to Forbes, for example, in publishing the Chinese version
but from a larger background, with Hurun's frequent appearances in the domestic and foreign media and growing reputation, Forbes may think that Hurun's publicity is too loud, and even the situation of "only knowing Hurun but not Forbes" has formed in China, which may have a negative impact on the overall layout of Forbes entering China
at this time, Hurun is no longer a pawn, but a stumbling block< In the end, Forbes rejected all possibilities in a decisive way. Some people say that Hurun planted trees, but it didn't wait to pick the fruit. Or, according to one media, Forbes is tearing down the bridge. But Hurun disagrees. Forbes has its own abacus, and Hurun has its own considerations
Hurun is faced with a choice
but it may not be the best time for Hurun to break ties with Forbes at this juncture
according to Chen Bing, an assistant of Hurun, Hurun "didn't make a lot of money" from Forbes. Hoogewerf said that 2002 was the year when Forbes paid the most, but it was only enough for its normal expenses. Before, it was basically a loss. He has to pay the office rent and expenses, the remuneration of three or four assistants, and the travel expenses for investigation. In previous years, Hurun had to hire some college students as assistants for a short time to save money
Hurun said that his salary in ranking is far less than that in Andersen, "maybe only half.". But this does not affect his interest in the ranking work and China. In 2002, he took his fiancee from Britain to China, found a job in an American company, held a wedding, and the child will be born in July this year. He has also mortgaged a house in Shanghai and is obviously ready to stay in China
since last year, some clues can be seen on Hurun's business card: the earliest name is "Forbes China regional investigator", and the latest title is "yarun Zhiyuan China regional chief investigator" - he has registered his own company "yarun Zhiyuan" in Hong Kong. Hurun has realized that he needs to get rid of the shadow of Forbes and surpass the list
a logical way is to turn the accumulated reputation and resources into a business model. Many people suggested that he seek to set up research institutions, hold forums, shoot TV films, publish magazines and other attempts, but at present, this set of books is the only proct on the market
Hurun's business plan has been hovering in embarrassment and hesitation. Under the premise of maintaining the absolute independence of the rankings, he has not yet found a suitable business model
according to Dan's evaluation, Hurun is not an excellent businessman. But he also has a deep understanding of the difficulty of starting a business in China. With more and more foreigners pouring into China, China provides them with more and more convenience. For example, recently the restrictions on foreigners' residence were lifted. They can choose their residence freely instead of staying in the areas designated by the government. Earlier sources said the government was also considering issuing green cards to some foreigners. In Shanghai, a foreigner was even elected to the neighborhood committee. But what puzzles foreigners like Hurun who come to China to start their own businesses is that the government has been focusing on multinational companies or large capital to attract foreign investment and foreign intelligence, and has not been very active in these small companies or indivials
for example, after spending very little money to register a company in Hong Kong, Hurun has been trying to set up its own company in the mainland, but he found that to register a wholly foreign-owned enterprise, it would cost at least US $140000 to US $150000, which he could not afford. Dan also said that it is difficult for foreigners to adapt to the vague or changeable policies of relevant parties
Hurun vs Forbes
what would Forbes do without Hurun
Forbes has promised to come up with a new list in October as usual“ Hurun has given us a good list, but we are not satisfied with "good". We need a great list, a more accurate one. "<
fan Luxian said that Forbes has its own characteristics
