Title from: Oriental IC


In the recent period, the blockchain topic has stood on the cusp.

As the blockchain was once again “hotly debated” in late October, the relevant management departments have recently begun to express their willingness to participate in the development of relevant national standards for blockchains and actively participate in the development of blockchain international standardization. At the same time, blockchain concept stocks have emerged, and the number of related concept stocks has grown from less than 50 to more than 1,000. According to media statistics, more than one-sixth of A-share listed companies have announced their direct or indirect relationship with the blockchain.

All this is naturally seen by speculators and currency agencies in the currency circle, and hopes to take the opportunity to revel in a game. However, as the media released the report that “blockchain is not equal to bitcoin”, the regulatory authorities also began to “eliminate” the speculative enterprises through the filing list.

Some analysts pointed out that the central bank is about to launch a legal digital currency, and various virtual currencies in the past have basically been determined to be “cool.” Therefore, after a series of blockchain good news was launched, some of the coin-making enterprises and makers began to think about the transformation of “cool”.

Practitioners flee “amaranth circle”

“Fall friends, colleagues, I officially left the original company today, I hope to know.”

On November 5, after sending this circle of friends, Zheng Yong (alias) seems to be relieved. He told me to understand the notes. Since joining the current virtual currency research institute at the beginning of the previous year, and becoming the co-founder and operation director of the organization, the “amplitude” of his heart is far more than the career of ten years.

Zheng Yong said frankly that the so-called “research” organization does not refer to the use of virtual currency, the application value, and the underlying technology. Instead, like all virtual currency companies, they use Ethereum to send a virtual currency, and attract investors’ investment through the hype of press conferences and presentations.

“If you say that it is different from most of the currency agencies, it is that the company has not yet run.” However, his heart is the same as Der Spiegel, and now the company’s operations are all maintained by “fudge”. “Do you think that it is not a mainstream virtual currency that can be hedged, and it is not linked to any industry, value-added? Ha ha…”

“This industry says that the return on investment is high, especially after the blockchain is upright. But recently the media said that the regular army is the first to be embarrassed. I think it is the best policy to leave as soon as possible.” The work is similar to the “匪” category, so Zheng Yong decided to eliminate himself before being eliminated by the regulatory authorities.

In fact, his organization has been selling virtual coins from investors since March this year, and the capital chain has already had problems. “I thought about it before I resigned. Now it is the best time to change career. The acquaintances with many coins around me have already changed.” Zheng Yong recalled that the familiar friends of the currency circle began to leave and changed, and it has already appeared. .

The first wave of departures was in 2017. At that time, the seven ministries and commissions issued the “Announcement on Preventing the Risk of Subsidy Issuance Financing”, which defined the ICO as “illegal public financing” and was suspended. At this point, some of the money-issuing institutions began to go underground, quietly raised money to raise funds, and “running the road” after “fishing a sum”.

A lot of practitioners have since switched. “The first half of 2018 should be the year in which the currency circle has changed the most. The original circle of friends is talking about virtual currency and technology. Suddenly, a lot of insurance has emerged. Training, study abroad advertising, but also insisted on leaving a few people in the currency circle.”

Today, most people in the currency circle understand that the country is beginning to support the development of blockchain technology, and the central bank may issue legal digital currency, which is simply the end of the “non-mainstream” virtual currency. Some practitioners have completely circled for “hazard avoidance”, but there are also a small number of practitioners who want to “buy again” in the blockchain market.

transform blockchain training

“The current virtual currency investment business has been divested from the company, and we are now operating independently.”

As a job seeker, understand the notes and come to the interview of the last blockchain technology company in Mingtian Road, Shenzhen. According to online information, the company has held several blockchain technology salons in June this year and promoted ICO public fundraising.

However, when asked about the ICO business, Ms. Lai, the head of human resources, said that the business was completely operated by an “independent company”. What is intriguing is that the independent company she said was only established in September this year.

“It is definitely a business development and independence. Now we are mainly doing blockchain training. The position you see is the promotion department of the training department.” She told me to understand the notes, starting from the beginning of the year. The company’s senior management has been optimistic about the application prospects of blockchain technology. In particular, the state supports the development of blockchain, and in the future there will be a large number of companies related to blockchain technology. Therefore, the demand for blockchain technology talents will continue to increase in the industry. “This is also the original intention of our transformation of blockchain technology training, and talent is the foundation.”

According to Miss Lai, the company has recently started to recruit a large number of programmers who are proficient in Golang, JAVA, C++ and other mainstream development languages ​​for reserve training teachers. At the same time, it is planned to screen some engineers who are familiar with mainstream algorithms and blockchain frameworks, and have recently started training. “It should be early next month, the company will officially launch blockchain technology training courses, start propaganda and enrollment.”

Community Miss Lai revealed that many companies engaged in blockchain finance (supply) have blockchain technology teams. Therefore, under the favorable news of the blockchain industry, some companies are planning to get involved in the training industry. “So our company management has always said that propaganda should go ahead of others and do blockchain training industry.Beida Jade Bird.

Understanding the notes Enter the “blockchain training” on the search engine, and there have been more than 4.8 million related search results. After a brief analysis, it was found that in addition to professional R&D training institutions, many blockchain information platforms and blockchain financial institutions have also been involved in relevant training fields, and they have begun to compete as a “chain school”.

At present, there are many companies in the past that are not known to the currency agencies, but a large number of blockchain technology training institutions are reminiscent of the programmer training of the year. Some media reports that this blockchain technology training fever seems to have been hotly spread, and various promotion and publicity have spread in the Internet and street advertising.

If the training is still “pragmatic”, then some institutions can no longer look back on the road of “depreciation.” For example, third-party industry service agencies.

The “virtual” organization continues to tell stories

“No matter what area of ​​the (involved) blockchain, is it inseparable from white papers and commercial roadshows?”

Xiao Jin once worked on roadshow planning and data compilation in the South China branch of a blockchain financial institution in Guangzhou. He told me that he knows that his organization has hosted many ICO conferences in the past few years. , investor salons and fundraising roadshows.

However, at the beginning of 2018, similar market demand was much less. They compiled white papers related to blockchains, from two or three sets per month in the past to one or two sets per quarter. “There is a clear perception that blockchain companies are decreasing.”

“A lot of companies in the ICO are all under the banner of the blockchain, in fact, all the funds are those routines.” Xiaojin said that he learnedMany currency agencies have been “sinking” for more than a year. “There are quiet and small-scale ICOs, mainly in the third- and fourth-tier cities and sinking markets to harvest the remaining leeks.”

The business is declining, and the management is also planning to cut some jobs and prepare to start “winter”. Xiaojin has also begun to worry about his work. Unexpectedly, at the end of October, the media came to the news that “the state supports the development of blockchains.” “The first thought I saw when I saw the news was that I should not be unemployed, and a lot of demand was on the road.”

Xiao Jin told me to understand the notes. When the news came out, many listed companies rushed to tie up with the blockchain, and the industry fever also increased. In his view, the business of his company is bound to usher in a substantial increase. “You think, if so many companies want to be related to the blockchain, they must look for a knowledgeable team to package, including writing business plans and financing plans. Those who are engaged in blockchain education and training should also promote and recruit students. Everyone has to tell stories and make packaging.”

Xiaojin guessed that in the next six months, there should be a large number of investment institutions focusing on the blockchain field, looking for blockchain projects and start-up companies that have potential and worth investing. “One year ago, maker financing was a block. The chain will be swindled, and it is estimated that it will be used as an ‘ancestor’.”

Conclusion

There is a view that blockchain “righting” will revitalize companies that truly focus on blockchain technology. However, there are also voice warnings. In the country, the blockchain is regarded as an important breakthrough for independent innovation of core technologies. Before the actual empowerment of various industries, a large number of people who are in troubled waters will once again take the opportunity to “make the wind and wave”. In the meantime, what is real money, what is a routine, can you see it clearly?
