比特币因珍贵而有用
今天是2024年1月3号,比特币15周岁整的日子。让我们先祝比特币15周岁生日快乐!
媒体上常规的故事讲法是,15年前,2009年的1月3号,中本聪在芬兰赫尔辛基的服务器上启动了比特币。
不过,据教链的考证,其实事实真相更有可能是,中本聪在那一年的3号到9号之间拿到了1月3日的泰晤士报,试运行了几天之后,9号正式启动了比特币。
上图出自刘教链《比特币史话》第3话《泰晤士报》https://leanpub.com/history-of-bitcoin
但是,无论如何,中本聪选择了1月3日那张泰晤士报的出版日作为创世区块(Genesis Block)的时间戳,因此,人们也就把2009年1月3日作为了比特币诞生日。
15年,真的是弹指一挥间。
今天,比特币从一文不值,已经成长为一个具有8862亿美元市值的、超越马斯克的特斯拉公司以及巴菲特的伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司市值、跻身全球十大资产行列的、独具一格的全球资产了。
今天,比特币ETF通过在即,全球资管巨头如贝莱德、富达等都已经纷纷入局,向美证交会SEC提交了比特币ETF的申请书。
有人却仍然还在观望,质疑,嘲讽。从看不见,到看不懂,到看不起,最后就只能是跟不上。
比特币是试金石。刘教链在2021.1.10文章《断币识人》中写道,「对待比特币的方式,便足以刻画一个人的本质。」「一个执币人的比特币持有史,便是其最强的人格折射。没有什么可以掩盖这种光芒,也没有什么可以伪装这种光芒。这是一个人真实个性的最佳写照。」「对每一个执币人而言,这个世界上只有两种人,一种是持有比特币的人,另一种则是没有比特币的人。对于后者,我们秒识别出这些人还不是合格的伙伴。」
如果一个财经大V到今天这个时候,还在红口白牙、颠倒黑白地告诫你远离比特币,不管他是搬出阴谋论,还是意识形态大棒,这样的大V,奉劝你早日远离。毕竟,天天朝自己脑子里灌低智、弱智和反智的浆糊,脑子早晚也会变成浆糊。
比特币桃李不言,行无言之教。它教给了我们太多太多东西,无时无刻不在深深的冲击着我们的观念,震动着我们的心灵。
与之切磋日久,便在潜移默化之间,提高了我们的思维层次和认知水平。
且举一例。比如,众所周知,比特币的获得必须通过PoW工作量证明,耗费算力,也就是计算机硬件以及电力能量。即便是在比特币还百无一用的早期(当然,直到今天可能仍有很多人觉得它毫无用处),每个人也都需要通过付出这般的代价来获得它。
比特币教给了我们有关“珍贵”和“有用”的道理。
珍贵的迟早会有用,但是有用的却不一定珍贵。
化学元素周期表,几百种元素。很多在它们被发现的时候,根本没人知道这玩意儿有啥用处。比如稀土元素在工业革命前没啥价值,但是科学技术一旦发展了,这些珍稀的元素就有了大用处。
而馒头和空气,对我们人类十分有用,不可或缺,但却不会有谁认为它们十分珍贵。
传统行业,包括传统互联网(所谓web2),做事情的出发点都是“有用”,所以互联网讲的最多的是“用户需求”、“应用场景”。我只要做出来有用的东西,卖给用户,就可以赚钱啦。
比特币,包括区块链(所谓web3),出发点却是“珍贵”。也许现在没人知道这东西有啥用,但是关键在于要让人付出代价(且无法作弊)才能获得,由此而使人珍惜、珍视它。
物品会因珍贵而有用,但未必会因有用而珍贵。区块链不同于传统行业、传统互联网的地方恰恰就在于这个逻辑的不同。
逻辑不同,因此思维和方法论就完全不同。出发点不同,因此做事的顺序也就完全不同。
从根本上讲,因为人是具有主观能动性的。他们会自动自发地为珍贵的拥有物寻找用处。
所以,什么是价值的来源?
主观价值论说是需求,而劳动价值论说是劳动。这一经济哲学也可以归于对“有用”和“珍贵”的辨析:
使用场景决定了对“有用”的感觉,获得的代价决定了对“珍贵”的感觉。
教链在早年从事互联网的时候,曾痴迷于主观价值论,把一本《人的行为》翻来覆去看了五六遍。但当教链与比特币切磋,深入区块链实践之后,却越来越认识到劳动价值论的厉害,开始把《资本论》反复研读。
《资本论》说的明明白白,生产力的提高会造成价值的下降。越高效,价值越小。比特币PoW效率很低,所以,价值很大。其他的链都在追求更高的效率,那么它们其实是在追求更低的价值。(题外话:AI同理。)
如果这样抽象的讲,你会觉得反常识的话。那么教链可以用打铭文的例子来说明一下。
这10000个铭文藏品,有几种打法:
第一种,效率最高的。写个爬虫,把10000个头像下载下来。然后写个脚本,几个小时就能全部上链打完。分毫不差,快速高效。
第二种,效率居中。把头像下载好,编码生成好。再开发一个“一键开打”的网页,让人只需要点点按钮就快速完成了上链。由于人做的动作很少,不需要人工输入,所以几乎不会打错数据。
第三种,效率最低。只有一个链上合约,其他的都需要用户自己动手完成。需要手动下载头像图片,需要手动用encode工具编码,需要手动复制粘贴到合约交互工具里,需要手动核对输入正确,需要手动完成钱包安装、添加网络,需要手动发地址索取gas,需要手动和合约交互完成上链。这一套动作下来,时间不短,辛苦不说,还有一定概率会打错、打坏。
以上三种情况打完10000个,哪一种方法得到的结果价值最高呢?我想这是不言而喻的吧。
从“有用”的思维出发,这图片打上链,有啥用处?想破脑袋也想不明白。但是换个角度,从“珍贵”的思维出发,自己劳动汗水的结晶,被区块链铭刻,属于自己的铭文藏品,不可再造,每次翻出来看看,心里就美滋滋。“重要的不是图片,重要的是这我亲手打的。” 理性是有限的,而感觉不会骗人。这便是王阳明说的“内心光明”。
试想,如果中本聪2009年1月份,直接在代码里发行出来2100万个比特币,那么比特币到今天价值几何?
中本聪偏不。他就是要让全世界这么多人都被调动起来,耗费那么多人力物力、能源土地,还要花上一百多年的时间(大约到2140年),才能把这2100万个比特币全部生产出来。
效率不可谓不低。
价值才不可谓不高。
你说不用PoW,用其他方法,比如设定规则的方法,也可以人为制造出限量和稀缺呀?但是人定的规则,人就可以打破。中本聪不相信,人能够在巨大利益诱惑面前守住底线。不是他不愿意相信人,而是他不能够相信人。毕竟,中本聪在比特币白皮书里就如此写道:「我们需要的是一个基于密码学证明而非(对人的)信任的电子支付系统」。
只有充分昂贵的代价,才让人足以信服,比特币的珍贵。
只有比特币足够的珍贵,它才会被人们不断发掘和发现其有用之处。
比特币因珍贵而有用。
Today is the first birthday of Bitcoin on January, let's first wish Bitcoin a happy birthday. The conventional story in the media is that Satoshi Nakamoto started Bitcoin on the server in Helsinki, Finland on January, the year before last. However, according to the research of the teaching chain, the truth is more likely that Satoshi Nakamoto got the Times of March between the date of that year and the date of that year. After a few days of trial operation, Bitcoin was officially launched on July, but in any case, Ben Cong chose the publication date of the Times on January as the time stamp of the creation block, so people also took the date of birth of Bitcoin as the date of birth. Today, Bitcoin has grown from worthless to a unique global asset with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars, surpassing Tesla and Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway, ranking among the top ten assets in the world. Today, Bitcoin is passing through the global asset management giants such as BlackRock Fidelity. Everyone has already entered the market and submitted applications for bitcoin to the SEC, but some people are still waiting to see, questioning and mocking. From being invisible to being incomprehensible to being contemptuous, they can only fail to keep up with bitcoin. In the article, Liu Jiaolian wrote that the way to treat bitcoin is enough to describe a person's essence. The history of a currency holder's bitcoin holding is its strongest personality refraction. Nothing can hide this light and nothing can disguise it. This is a person's true personality. For every currency holder, there are only two kinds of people in the world, one is the one who holds bitcoin, and the other is the one who doesn't. For the latter, we recognize that these people are not qualified partners. If a financial person is still telling you to stay away from bitcoin at this time, whether he is moving out of conspiracy theories or ideological sticks, he is advised to stay away as soon as possible. After all, every day, he fills his mind with stupid and anti-intellectual brains. Sooner or later, it will become a paste. Bitcoin peaches and plums teach us too many things, which deeply impact our ideas all the time, shake our hearts and discuss with them for a long time, which improves our thinking level and cognitive level imperceptibly. For example, it is well known that the acquisition of Bitcoin must be proved by workload, that is, computer hardware and electric energy, even in the early days when Bitcoin was useless, of course, until today. There are still many people who think it is useless, and everyone needs to pay such a price to get it. Bitcoin has taught us about preciousness and usefulness. Precious elements will be useful sooner or later, but useful ones are not necessarily precious. There are many hundreds of elements in the periodic table of chemical elements. When they are discovered, no one knows what this thing is useful. For example, rare earth elements were of little value before the industrial revolution, but once science and technology are developed, these rare elements will be of great use, while steamed bread and steamed bread. Air is very useful and indispensable to us human beings, but no one will think that it is very precious. Traditional industries, including the traditional Internet, say that the starting point of doing things is useful, so what the Internet talks about most is the application scenarios of user needs. I can make money by making useful things and selling them to users. Bitcoin, including blockchain, says that the starting point is precious. Maybe no one knows what this thing is for now, but the key is to make people pay the price and not cheat to get it. Cherish and cherish its goods will be valuable and useful, but not necessarily valuable because of their usefulness. The difference between blockchain and traditional industries and the traditional Internet lies in the different logic of this logic, so the thinking and methodology are completely different, so the order of doing things is completely different. Fundamentally speaking, because people have subjective initiative, they will automatically and spontaneously look for uses for precious possessions, so what is the source of value is subjective axiology and demand is labor axiology. It is the economic philosophy of labor that can also be attributed to the discrimination between useful and precious. The use of the scene determines the price of the useful feeling and the precious feeling. When I was engaged in the Internet in my early years, the teaching chain was obsessed with the subjective theory of value and watched a person's behavior over and over for five or six times. However, after studying with Bitcoin, I became more and more aware of the power of labor theory of value and began to study Capital repeatedly. It is clear that the improvement of productivity will lead to price. The more efficient the decline in value, the smaller the value. Bitcoin is very inefficient, so it is of great value. Other chains are pursuing higher efficiency. So they are actually pursuing lower value. By the same token, if you say this abstractly, you will feel anti-common sense. Then the teaching chain can use the example of inscription to illustrate how to play this inscription collection. The first one is the most efficient. Write a crawler to download an avatar and then write a script. It will be all online in a few hours. It is fast and efficient. Second. This kind of efficiency is in the middle. Download the avatar, generate the code, and then develop a one-click web page. People can quickly complete the winding by clicking the button. Because people rarely do actions and do not need manual input, they can hardly type wrong data. The third kind of efficiency is the lowest, and there is only one contract on the chain. Others need to be completed by users themselves. You need to manually download the avatar picture, manually copy and paste it into the contract interactive tool, and manually check whether the input is correct. Wallet installation and network addition require manual address request and manual interaction with contract to complete winding. This set of actions takes a long time, but there is still a certain probability that you will make a mistake and break the above three situations. Which method has the highest value? I think this is self-evident. From a useful thinking point of view, what is the use of linking this picture? I can't understand it if I want to break my head, but from a precious thinking point of view, the crystallization of my labor sweat is engraved by the blockchain. Inscription collection can't be recreated. Every time I turn it out, I feel flattered. It's not the pictures that matter. What matters is that the rationality I personally typed is limited and I feel that I won't deceive people. This is what Wang Yangming said. Imagine if Satoshi Nakamoto directly issued 10,000 bitcoins in the code in January, then the value of bitcoins will be geometric. Satoshi Nakamoto is not right. It will take so many people all over the world to be mobilized, and it will take so much manpower, material resources, energy and land to produce all these 10,000 bitcoins. The efficiency is not low and the value is not high. 比特币今日价格行情网_okx交易所app_永续合约_比特币怎么买卖交易_虚拟币交易所平台
