At one o'clock in the morning on September 25, 2018, when the month was full, Bitcoin, which had fallen by 65% ​​within half a year, was struggling above $6,000.
I'm tired of the Chinese blockchain circle with a roller coaster of currency prices. I am now immersed in the aftertaste of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the moon cakes in the circle of friends.
At this time, on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the founder of the famous decentralized transaction protocol 0xproject team posted a message on the blog-0x officially launched version 2.0.
The update is concise and concise. In addition to technical improvements, the biggest innovation of 2.0 is to officially support the ERC721 standard token.
As one of the hottest infrastructures in recent years, Zhongxing Pengyue’s 0x team has been humorously called Coinbase’s pro-son since its inception. Not only does the advisory team work with Coinbase, but its own token ZRX will also be listed for trading. So.
In addition, Reddit netizens found that the ZRX wallet tax declaration internal test function has appeared on Coinbase.
This quiet update of 0x 2.0 is also inextricably linked to Coinbase's small actions in the past year.
Set the time back to November of last year. Bitcoin continues to rise with the leap of the dragon, attracting the attention of investors from all over the world, and a capital carnival is slowly kicking off.
At the same time, the first phenomenon-level application of blockchain games (or asset on-chain mode)-CryptoKitties turned out.
This group of kittens born in the ERC721 standard has become an alternative landscape in the bull market. All of the speculators turned into cat groups overnight. Everyone rushed to buy all kinds of creation cats. The mantra changed from what coin to buy. What kind of cat to keep.
Some keen foreign media have also begun to rush to report that the crypto cat is in the limelight for a while, and the hidden assets behind the chain are just about to move, and they seem to be ready to break ground at any time.
At this time, an unknown foreign team discovered a business opportunity, developed the first exchange for ERC721-OpenSea, and quickly launched the test version in December.
This maverick exchange has attracted the attention of some venomous institutions and has received funding from Y Combinator, a well-known American startup incubator.
Things are fickle. Not long after OpenSea was launched for testing, not only did the crypto cats have no interest, but the entire market also began to dive. Bitcoin fell to 10,000 US dollars. Those who had great enthusiasm for speculating and raising cats spent their lives feeling disappointed. Lunar New Year is celebrated.
After a year, the market did not improve as people had hoped, but continued to decline in occasional rebounds. Until March, when the price of Bitcoin fell below $7,000, panic began to spread. ERC20 or ERC721 was irrelevant.
At this time, Toshi Wallet, the world's first open source DApp browser wallet designed by Coinbase, suddenly announced that this wallet with the same name as Satoshi Nakamoto began to officially support ERC721.
In the example picture, the little cats that no one cares about were cheated once.
The cats’ secret corpses injected the last bit of yang energy into the market. In April and May, the market returned to light. Bitcoin once returned to above $9,000, and the yang energy soon dissipated, and people continued to lie down with grievances.
At this time, 0x, which fans have high hopes for, has not yet released the news of landing on Coinbase. Instead, it suddenly stated in its blog on May 15 that the 2.0 version that will be launched will consider the support of ERC721.
Coincidentally, three days after the blog was published, on May 18th, Coinbase’s product manager Jacob published a 4D blog titled "The Playful Paradigm Shift", introducing ERC721, the potential of on-chain assets, and the potential for the entire industry. influences
In short: Coinbase is openly optimistic about ERC721. In the blog, Jacob believes that blockchain games such as CryptoKitties are only preliminary experiments of ERC721. In other fields, such as media and social platforms, there is also a huge potential for the application of this new technology.
After several months of pioneering work, OpenSea also announced in May that it had completed a $2 million seed round of financing, and the name of Coinbase was also on the list of investors.
OpenSea said this when talking about crypto assets and its vision in its blog:
In the world of true crypto assets, crypto products have some incredible new attributes:
· Scarcity: Supply and scarcity are enforced by an immutable, decentralized ledger, not by a centralized project party that can create new assets at will.
· Immutability: An asset with this attribute brings an unprecedented experience to individual users. For example, although the website of CryptoCelebrities (an early collectible project) may be closed, the celebrity assets in this game will always be recorded on the blockchain and can still be traded on OpenSea.
· Interactivity: Users can send their assets to anyone, exchange them anytime, anywhere, take them with them, and view them anytime, anywhere. Our own OpenSea studio project Ethmoji (currently in beta) allows users to build a unique portfolio of assets that can view the Ethmoji website. But Ethmoji can be used as an avatar for any dapp, wallet, or for new games.
· Liquidity: transferability on a global scale, which can be exchanged outside of a closed ecosystem. The immediate open exchange API means a substantial increase in liquidity.
OpenSea is the home market for this exciting new world item.
On OpenSea, users from all corners of the world can buy or sell any asset on the blockchain without trusting each other or looking for any third party. We started with games and collectibles, but we are rapidly expanding into other asset classes. We already support software licensing, digital art, and we will even cooperate with custodians of physical assets.
The views of OpenSea and Jacob coincide.
The market entered July after half a year of tossing, and the market showed signs of rejuvenation this month. Bitcoin once returned to above $8,000, which is 2.5 times away from the highest point since the birth of the CryptoKitties last year.
After Coinbase invested in OpenSea, it joined hands with well-known investment institutions ConTInue Capital and Nirvana Capital to invest in Godsunchained, the most profitable and high-profile blockchain game this year.
This card game called Blockchain Hearthstone is also based on ERC721, using the game asset chain model. Subsequently, blockchain games exploded on a large scale, and the topic of crypto games on foreign social platforms surged.
When everyone is still questioning the prospects of this game, Coinbase is purely a ticket. Toshi Wallet, which already supports ERC721, suddenly announced that it was renamed Coinbase wallet.
On social media, Coinbase's CTO also followed the product manager and told the public that he was optimistic about ERC721.
Now look back at 0x. After it announced the 2.0 update, it reposted a media report.
The report revealed a news closely related to 0x 2.0-Godsunchained based on ERC721 will use 0x technology to trade game assets.
Let's count the cards in Coinbase's hand.
1. It is a legal exchange in the United States, with first-class traffic and industry status.
2. Coinbase wallet, an open source wallet supporting ERC721. (It is worth mentioning that coinbase wallet is not the best Dapp wallet. Trust wallet, the best Dapp wallet, was bought by Binance before.)
3. Decentralized transaction protocol supported by powerful technology 0x
4. ERC721 Exchange OpenSea
5. Blockchain Hearthstone Godsunchained
Coinbase has opened up all the upstream and downstream of the chain game industry, and its expectations for ERC721 are definitely not limited to one field of games. As a dual-material enthusiast of blockchain and games, the author is naturally very excited to see these initiatives by top institutions in the industry.
However, the market is still deformed. Funds are everywhere. Even if there is a role model like Godsunchained, the dapps that are refilled are still like the undead Xiaoqiang, one after another.
Although Coinbase may want to do a great job with the resources at hand, under the influence of the tide of mud and sand, whether this unexplored fertile soil can become the landing field of blockchain technology and lead the trend of the times, it is worrying.
Lei Jun’s famous saying "follow the trend" has gradually become one of the core beliefs of the technology industry. The strategy and tactics of innovators often "follow the trend" and take it as the highest action plan. It seems that just follow the trend.
But in our industry context, there should be more suggestions to face reality. After all, "actually" and "should be" are two concepts.
For Coinbase, "should be" roughly means "ERC721 should replace 20 to get more market attention", "blockchain should allow users to share more benefits, and modern Internet production relations need to be revolutionized"...
But "actually" should be: steps, rhythms and methods, should we adopt a more moderate attitude and method at the beginning, and when the market is at a critical moment, we need to adjust the rhythm accordingly, even staged and localized." The ideal of "giving up" seems extremely correct.
How a thing should be and what it actually looks like is completely different. Most of the mistakes come from the confusion of the two.
Of course, the author unconditionally supports idealistic innovators emotionally. May history be exhausted and we can all be triumphant warriors, not martyrs on the monument.
·Basic precautions
Do not put expensive oil into low-quality cartridges to avoid wastage. Most pre-filled oil cartridges have the so-called 510 thread. The oil cartridge screws onto a rechargeable battery. Some of these batteries have buttons and some heat up automatically when you pump the oil. Some batteries have multiple temperature settings and some heat up to a preset temperature; these features need to be known in advance.
·Cleaning notes
Use a suitable cleaning tool to clean them, such as activated charcoal or dried tea leaves in a used pipe to absorb the oil. It is important not to use alcohol or other boiling water to clean the pipe, and to wait until it has cooled down completely before cleaning. Otherwise, the hot stem will come into contact with the watery liquid and cause the mouthpiece tenon to loosen, thus shortening the life of the 510 cartridges.
This is what you should be aware of when using 510 cartridges. At the same time, when using 510 cartridges, there are still some vaping tips, for example, when using them, be careful not to suck too hard, will not produce smoke. When you inhale too hard, the smoke is sucked directly into your mouth and not atomized by the atomizer, so gently inhaling is more powerful and gives you a better vaping experience.
