Huawendao White Paper, Version 2.1.1

Huawendao White Paper, Version 2.1.1
In the past two days, an article lamenting Chinese Web3 entrepreneurs went viral far beyond its usual reach, which prompted me to publish ahead of schedule the DAO I have been gradually preparing to build. The popularity of that article shows that the need among Chinese entrepreneurs for recognition is still very widespread. So in fact, it is not hard to build a Chinese help Chinese community; what is hard is to genuinely carry forward the positive elements of Chinese culture, rather than understanding what “Chinese” means in a negative, oppositional sense (non-white, non-Western, non-English, and so on). Why is the Jewish community so strong? The key is still that…

NFT-ifying Behavioral Histories: The Return of Value to Meaning

NFT-ifying Behavioral Histories: The Return of Value to Meaning
I had a sudden awakening around the end of last year and the beginning of this year, and embraced new concepts like the metaverse, NFT, and Web3. But there is still one new concept about which I have always been somewhat reserved: DAO. DAO stands for “decentralized autonomous organization.” In fact, it is also an old concept. I remember that when I first got into Bitcoin, Babite seemed to be planning to do DAO (or something similar), and I also witnessed the The DAO incident that later led to the Ethereum fork. My view has actually remained fairly consistent: I think DAO is a good concept, but the ways it…

The Metaverse: the “New Continent” of the Information World

Culture & Public Commentary2022.02.24
The Metaverse: the “New Continent” of the Information World
“Cyberspace is not a lawless place; cyberspace also has sovereignty”—of course, I am not going to discuss this sentence itself; let us assume it is valid. If cyberspace also has sovereignty, then what lies between sovereignties, and beyond the borders of sovereignty? In physical space, the border of sovereignty is the national border. Within a country’s boundaries, that country can legislate and enforce the law, can exercise jurisdiction and governance. Beyond the border, it may be another country exercising sovereignty. But is there a territory that lies outside the sovereign boundaries of any country? Of course, excluding disputed and contested territories. In ancient times, such territories certainly existed: they were…

Rebuilding the Threshold—Web3 Is Indeed a Kind of Regression into “Enclosure and Self-Exaltation,” but That May Not Necessarily Be a Bad Thing

Rebuilding the Threshold—Web3 Is Indeed a Kind of Regression into “Enclosure and Self-Exaltation,” but That May Not Necessarily Be a Bad Thing
Yesterday, the floor price of the Bored Ape NFT broke through 100 Ether (ETH), and now it is 106.9 (one Ether is currently worth more than 2,500 U.S. dollars), which means a single Bored Ape is worth roughly one to two million yuan. “Floor price” refers to the cheapest ape you can buy right now if you rush in and make the purchase immediately. Because every ape looks different, and the rarity of their various attributes also differs, many people choose to buy at a higher price point; for example, Justin Bieber today spent 500 ETH to buy one. The full name of Bored Ape is “Bored Ape Yacht Club”…

Why Are NFTs Valuable? Rethinking NFTs and Tulips

Why Are NFTs Valuable? Rethinking NFTs and Tulips
In the article From BTC to NFT: Wealth to Power I already confessed that my understanding of NFTs has clearly changed. Although in the article NFT and Tulip Mania I agreed with the importance of NFT technology, I still felt that “a pixel image worth tens of millions is, however you look at it, not a price that could possibly last long.” But I have now withdrawn that judgment; now I think that at least some historically significant NFTs are entirely capable of maintaining high prices over the long term. Of course, this judgment of mine does not constitute investment advice. On the one hand, most of the accompanying NFTs…

From BTC to NFT: From Wealth to Power
In recent years I haven’t really kept up with the new things in the crypto world, because researching them takes a lot of time and energy, and it also affects one’s state of mind quite a bit—because if you’re not careful, you start feeling like you’ve “lost a hundred million yuan.” So it’s better, really, to let what you can’t see be “quiet” to the eyes. But the NFT craze and the so-called “metaverse” are major developments that spilled beyond the crypto bubble; even if I’m no longer paying attention to the crypto world, I can’t help but pay attention to them, so here I am writing again. (A few…

NFTs and Tulip Mania
This article was commissioned by China Business Journal; see http://www.cb.com.cn/index/show/zl/cv/cv13456431853 NFT is the full name of Non-Fungible Token. A literal translation would be “non-fungible token.” The so-called token, also translated as “coin” or “token,” refers to some kind of rights certificate: coupons, prize-redemption slips, game coins, and so on all count as tokens. Of course, in the blockchain context it generally refers to a unit of account in a digital ledger. The various digital currencies that were wildly hyped a few years ago were basically “fungible tokens.” Recently, however, NFT has exploded overnight and rapidly gone mainstream. Speculators these days do not care at all whether the object of speculation…
