Profit model of digital currency related enterprises
first line: mining, mining machine, mine (ore pool)
all three are related to mining, but they are also different
Mining: we don't discuss the technical details here. From the perspective of profit, mining has the lowest threshold. Even if we need professional mining machinery now, we can still buy a mining machine to make money. If we become bigger, we can open a mine. Without talking about the risk, mining is the simplest way to make money. The investment cost is low, the rate of return is high, and the time cost is high
mining machinery: the business of manufacturing mining machinery is very hot, and there is a high threshold, so it is difficult for non professionals to become manufacturers. Ant mining machine in the bull market does not worry about selling. Especially after 1994, as far as I know, foreign domestic ore feeders were towed away by trucks. However, the threshold of manufacturers is already very high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with them, so there are two dealers. Mining business contact is not much, the second-hand market seems to be very chaotic
mines (ore pools) of course, mines and ore pools are inseparable. Why? The mine pool exists in order to avoid the risk of the mine. The mine pool will pay the cost of the miners according to the time according to the calculation force. Of course, it also needs to draw a percentage, and the miners will be able to keep their income from drought and flood. But the only thing to do is to bring people to the mine. Offline mines are also managed by their own machines, and can also be managed by others. There is a certain threshold, risk and income coexist
second line: information platform, exchange, wallet, currency speculation
consulting platform: something that must exist in the Internet era, providing information and consulting aggregation. The first thing new people come into contact with is information media. In the 17 years since the outbreak of digital currency, bitcoin's Internet search index has exploded. Many people want to know about digital currency, so such an information platform is sure to survive. Drainage, content, value realization and value extension are generally the ways of making profits
exchange: the best understanding is that all flows and proction currencies are for trading. Only when a transaction has a price can it be valued. Many problems will also be found in the transaction, such as the famous "bitcoin expansion". Only by finding and solving problems can the instry develop better. We all know the mode of making money in the exchange. It's the makers who make money. It's just like casinos and securities dealers. They lose more money and earn less, but the exchange is stable. In addition to the handling charges, it seems that the money charge is also a profit model. The threshold of the exchange is also high. In addition to trading risk and platform risk, it pays more attention to policy dynamics. Big exchanges now have "currency exchange", "fire currency" and so on
wallets: both hot and cold wallets are procts, and coin circles are just needed for this kind of procts. Online wallet is generally free, and then through other ways to make money, such as usually do exchanges, or there are investment activities
currency speculation: simple speculation, uncontrollable risk, too many factors affecting the price. We can envy the good luck of others, but we should not hope that we have such good luck. Therefore, there are generally three modes of currency speculation, which can be more "smart" to avoid risks: 1. Fixed investment 2. Quantitative trading 3. Arbitrage: spot move brick, futures arbitrage. Now, it seems that there is a fourth kind of profit margin in the OTC channel.
First of all, we need to know what digital currency is. Digital currency is characterized by decentralized transaction currency. The most famous is bitcoin. However, digital currency has not been recognized by China in recent years. Recently, China plans to issue China's digital currency DCEP, or DC for short. Digital currency itself is currency. When you ask how to make money, you are actually asking, How does money make money? In fact, there are many channels. First, we will have funds in the later stage to conct private placement of digital currency. Second, how do we usually earn RMB? Now, when we promote the use of digital currency in China, we will use digital currency to earn money
as a digital currency, in fact, what China issues is similar to legal currency. The purpose of legal currency is to stabilize the RMB, which should float up and down 1:1 per second. According to different exchange rates, DCEP: usdt will float up and down 7:1. In the later stage, it may be 1:1 according to China's increasing competitiveness, which is also graally declining in recent years
as a digital currency, if you want to make money, there are many ways. Major exchanges can convert it into different digital currencies. Other digital currencies may not be as stable as usdt and DCEP, and the price will keep rising and falling according to the demand. At this time, we can buy and sell stocks in a similar way to earn the price difference, If you don't enjoy it, many digital currency exchanges provide contracts, which can buy and sell multiple times, or be bullish or bearish, or even hundreds of times at most. Many people get rich through this way, but there are also many people who lose their property. In addition, this kind of exchange will make your currency return to zero in a way, We should be wary of many such exchanges running away - refer to the second largest exchange checked OK exchange
in addition, as a national form of digital currency, there should be short positions. For example, China's state-owned enterprises carry out digital transformation to form community-based currency, which may be airdropped according to the DCEP they hold. This is my guess
in addition, defi's liquidity mining, commonly known as market making, is more popular now. In the later stage, it may replace the exchange. Everyone is an exchange and can charge a handling fee
2: if the coin is empty, choose the one with less total amount (less amount and more appreciation space), and even large enterprises will not cut the coin with less amount (because the more the coin is cut, the less it is cut)
3: if you can dig and pre dig a little, even a big company can't do something that can dig. If you can dig, you'll get nothing Pre digging is used to cut leeks, so the currency with very little pre digging should be selected.)
Four: choose decentralized wallets instead of smart contracts. More than half a year of operation (so as to ensure the stability of the wallet)
Five: check the code, operation mode and service quality of the trading platform, and choose the one with good reputation, so as to prevent the platform from being stolen and running away. At present, there are few such platforms in China, and it takes time to understand them
six: don't look at landing scenes and publicity, because only empty coins need landing scenes to attract players to buy currency appreciation (depending on the amount).
Share from DTV: how does the blockchain of DTV make profits in the end:
1. Build a blockchain ecosystem
Why do start-ups join in blockchain public chain projects one after another? Because it's a great opportunity. Any enterprise has the opportunity to create an ecosystem that subverts the existing pattern with its own ideas and operations. In this system, the currency designated by the ecosystem owner will circulate
because start-ups hold a certain amount of money and reserve some money for enterprises to dig, and the total amount of money is fixed, the faster the flow speed of the ecosystem is, the greater the demand for money is. More transactions chase less money, and the currency is bound to appreciate, but this idea is based on the fact that the currency is irreplaceable
now many research groups are developing cross chain technology to connect blockchains in different fields, so as to achieve the free circulation of money flow and data flow, and finally go to the exchange
in this case, the impact of a chain of money shortage on the ecosystem may not be as simple as the classical monetary theory, and the money price is likely not to follow the simple relationship between supply and demand. Designers need to think about this from a macroeconomic perspective
this is also the most attractive part of blockchain project: everyone is likely to establish new rules in this new field and become the manager of Qu centralized system. By then, the owners of the blockchain will have the ability to control the economy of the whole field - selling or inhaling digital currency will have a huge impact on the instry
2. Providing services for enterprises
providing services for enterprises is the main profit model of blockchain projects at the present stage, and cloud storage security skeptics are likely to turn to traceable and tamper proof blockchain service providers to seek maximum data security
for example, a blockchain start-up operating a data sharing platform, its main business includes providing data storage and data transaction services for customers, thus charging service fees and handling charges
there are many domestic start-up companies operating such businesses, such as cloud nest, border intelligence, magic chain technology, etc. Each company has excellent technology, but to make a profit, it may have to work hard on the operation
today, Tencent cloud's tbaas has joined this field and can provide services covering finance, supply chain, Internet of things, medical and other fields. It is believed that the competition and expansion of customers will become more difficult in the future
3. Smart contract participates in profit making
smart contract is like a contract that can be executed automatically. The validity of the contract is judged and enforced by machines instead of people. Its essence is still a piece of code, but the traceability and non tampering characteristics of blockchain can ensure that this piece of code runs automatically under the non trust mechanism. Blockchain is the precondition of smart contract operation
in practice, there are many opportunities for profit making through smart contracts, and smart contracts can solve these problems in a non black box way
in the running process of the program, the smart contract performs audit, classification information and other operations, which eliminates the interference of middlemen, and the record will not be artificially damaged, and the font on the file will not be blurred for a long time
but to some extent, the operators of smart contracts themselves become middlemen, and they automatically collect and pay audit fees through smart contracts. This kind of special intermediary service saves a lot of costs for customers, and its essence is realized by improving efficiency
4. Operation of special service driven system
many enterprises have their own exclusive fields in building blockchain community. Take the neurogenomics project led by geneticist church as an example. After enjoying the gene sequencing service provided by neurola, consumers can not pay in the form of legal money, but have to exchange legal money into the token issued by neurola
as more people exchange legal money for this token, nebula will successfully build a blockchain platform with gene data as the core, and after that, it will better carry out precision medical services
generally speaking, this mode relies on the actual technology, makes profits from offline services at the beginning of the project, and converts the legal money in the income into token in the process of making profits. With the progress of the project, the platform can carry out more precision medical services with the help of the data obtained from the start mode, and its profit methods have become diversified, but the whole process will not be separated from the entity
in the whole process of enterprise operation, token is mainly used as incentive, and token appreciation is not a problem that geneticists should consider
The original purpose of project 1CO is to crowdfunding in the market through pre-sale service. In 2013, the early 1CO company appeared in the financial field, and then quickly detonated the entire digital money market, resulting in the rise of speculationhowever, this storm came and went quickly. From 2013 to 2014 alone, many projects died in the speculation or were directly judged as fraud
according to Engadget data, 45.6% of the 902 crowdfunding based digital currencies have failed in 2017
Even so, there are still many survivors. These enterprises (including those that build the ecosystem) attach great importance to the role of token, and the appreciation of token will be calculated as part of the profits In essence, it is similar to an enterprise operating both financial assets (token) and operating assets (service) to manage operating assets to make financial assets profitable. However, if the proportion of "financial assets" is too large, the risk will come uninvited The foundation of sharing economy is to monitor the available resources and corresponding demands in real time and make adjustments to maximize the utilization of resources. For unicorns like airbnb, they have a mature management mode and stable cash flow. They try blockchain because blockchain technology can bring more transparent, more efficient and fairer systemsthis kind of enterprises use blockchain in the way of private chain or alliance chain. They don't need token to participate in circulation, and the nodes don't exist anonymously. They are interested in blockchain technology itself
with the blessing of blockchain technology, the manual input of ID information issued by the government will be transformed into the safe storage and verification of ID issued by the government. Customers and landlords can completely rely on the evaluation content. At the same time, the comments can be traced back to avoid the possibility of negative comments being deleted and the participation of the Navy
the profit model of airbnb and Tencent
in BJS's ecosystem, all rights and interests and procts are allocated according to the results of labor and the degree of contribution, that is, the use rights, distribution rights and management rights are voted by the community, and the community autonomy management connects the users, investors and operators together, and each role can enjoy the benefits of the overall plate development, Form the mobilization of community resources and enthusiasm.
