Technology giants gather to test blockchain game experts: caused by panic mentality

 1.jpg

According to the Voice of China News, Bitcoin, ICO, blockchain, even if you have never speculated in digital currency, you will always hear about them in the news. As the leader of digital currency, Bitcoin is unparalleled. Everyone was stunned from a coin worth 2 cents to the highest RMB 120000. Behind Bitcoin is the hot blockchain technology of "distributed computing" and "decentralization", but the public can only remember the soaring digital currency.


Because digital currency is suspected of money laundering and other illegal and criminal activities, in September 2017, the Central Bank and other seven ministries and commissions issued the Announcement on Preventing the Financing Risks of Token Issuance, which basically sentenced the digital currency transactions in China to death. At the same time, mainstream technology enterprises such as Xunlei, NetEase and Baidu have begun to invest in the research of blockchain technology, and even some are still playing the policy sidelines of "issuing coins in disguised form".


Xunlei launched the "Play Kok Coin" renamed Linke, still referred to as "disguised ICO"


In October 2017, Xunlei launched the Play Coin, which is said to be a reward mechanism built to make full use of the idle broadband of users. Through the Play Cloud hardware sold by Xunlei, users can get different amounts of "Play Coin" as rewards by contributing their own broadband, and "Play Coin" can purchase various services within Xunlei.


However, as soon as the "GameCoin" was launched, it immediately became the "new outlet" behind digital currencies such as Bitcoin. In November 2017, the stock price of Xunlei soared by 30% in one day. Mr. Du in Beijing contacted the product at the initial stage of the promotion of GameCoin, and saw that GameCoin had the attributes of digital currency and the brand of Xunlei as a guarantee, I bought some and tried it first: "I think this thing may have room for appreciation. In October, I bought 320 kiddies, which cost about 2600 yuan, because I think it will not collapse like other companies. Xunlei, a large company, must have some guarantees. Because it doesn't have much money at all, it can also be put aside a little if it gets up in a year or two".


Mr. Du believes that unlike Tencent, which issues unlimited Q-coins, the production of Xunlei's game coin is decreasing year by year. It can only be generated by connecting its own broadband with the "game cloud" hardware. It has the similar attributes of digital currencies such as Bitcoin and has room for appreciation. Moreover, because of the popularity of game coin, it is connected with the hardware used for mining, They all doubled: "I am optimistic about this blockchain. I bought a few Qiukyuns and sold them without much digging (ore). 399 bought them. At the beginning, they sold more than 800, and later they sold them around 1800. (Qiukyuns) If someone is willing to buy them, Alipay will pay, and the platform will put money for them.".


Later, in order to avoid suspicion, Xunlei changed the name of "playing customer currency" to "Linke". In January this year, the China Internet Finance Association announced that it named "Linke", saying that it "replaced the legal currency payment obligation for the services contributed to the participants, which is essentially a financing behavior and a disguised ICO". The stock price of Xunlei, suspected of violating relevant regulations, immediately plummeted by 30%, and the price of "LinkedIn" also plummeted. Mr. Zhao, the owner of Liaoning's "GameCoin", said that the transaction in China has been closed, but there are still some private transactions in QQ group WeChat group, but the price has dropped too much, and he doesn't play much anymore.


Under the pressure of supervision and public opinion, Xunlei announced that it no longer supports the function of transfer between users. Basically, the "chain block" has put an end to speculation.


"NetEase Planet", Baidu "LetzDog", 360 Blockcat, blockchain games become hot cakes


Renren, whose stock price is low, once issued a white paper saying that it would sell "Renren Coin", and then was forced to stop under pressure. NetEase, Baidu and other enterprises have also launched their own blockchain game projects "NetEase Planet" and Baidu "LetzDog".


To adopt a baidu laitz dog, users need to sign an adoption agreement at the special entrance of baidu wallet. The virtual currency in the game is called "calculus", and "calculus" is required for buying and selling pet dogs. After that, your pet dog will "give birth" to an unique puppy according to the rules of the blockchain. To obtain points, you need to use other Baidu products. Unlike playing customer coins, Letzgou does not have the cash transaction function.


In April this year, 360 also announced its own blockcat, saying that each virtual blockcat is a rare pet in the digital universe using blockchain technology. The first batch is limited to 50000.


However, such a game, apart from adding the word "blockchain", seems to be no different from the ordinary pet raising game. Where is blockchain technology used? Is it necessary to use such technology?


Xiao Lei, a financial analyst who has been focusing on digital currency for a long time, told the reporter that for enterprises whose main business development is blocked, such as Xunlei and Renren, "going to the blockchain" means an opportunity to turn around: "First, it will touch the rise of its share price, second, it will touch the investment to pay attention to it, and third, it can make money, which is a rare outlet.


So from this point of view, it must be a commercial behavior, because the blockchain is too hot, and the crazy amount of money goes into it without thinking, I think the system must be unsustainable ".


Expert: Blockchain game is hard to last


For NetEase, Baidu and other Internet "giants" are also scrambling to launch blockchain games. Xiao Lei believes that this is entirely caused by their "panic mentality", and will not last long: "NetEase, Baidu 360 and others are engaged in such things, but they can't see how to make money in the early stage.


However, many users went to speculate on coins, and many users played games related to blockchain. At that time, what he feared most was that I would not do this, and what if large-scale users began to transfer? So I think he is in a panic to arrange this, which does not mean that it needs to make money from this ".


Having said so much, the real blockchain seems to be the issuance of digital currency, and then everyone speculates on the currency, imagining that their investment will become the next Bitcoin, making themselves "rich overnight".


Xiao Lei believes that the application of real blockchain technology is invisible to ordinary people in the short term, but for financial institutions, Blockchain technology has great prospects in the future: "Bitcoin transfer does not require banks or third-party payment institutions. In fact, this is the most direct record in finance. If it is applied to the financial system, such as insurance, it does not need a third party to guarantee anything, and it cannot be tampered with. Distributed bookkeeping is tamper proof and disintermediated. If you say it is centralized, there are a lot of data that can be tampered with. So I think the application in finance may be very direct.
