全世界的訊息鋪天蓋地而來,我的大腦就要Overflow。
生於過去,長於現在,卻讓我看見難以捉摸的未來。
科技,人類,社會,經濟,世代,數學,物理與哲學;我感到一陣暈眩。
深山野林裡一條鮮有人跡的小徑旁,太陽正懶洋洋地躲入雲層後。
你在一株植物前聚精會神,用放大鏡觀察太陽下葉脈上的紋路。
植物圖鑑,樣本袋,指南針,水壺,午餐要吃的麵包;你打算在厚厚的落葉上睡個午覺。
遠方有落雷,看得見閃電,風暴確實正在急速醞釀。
此處仍日常,聽不到聲音,廣播裡也沒有氣象快報。
無論戰爭或和平,無論繁榮或蕭條,每個時期有每個時期可以挑剔的地方,可以哭可以吵可以愛的地方。
這艘船載滿我們的一切,上面的人們爭吵著,熱血著,算計著,無感著。
為了讓船更好,或是自以為讓船更好,或是為了自己在船上更舒服,一切一切。
海平面緩緩波動著,溫柔而無聲,但我目光只盯著遠方那團黑與光,彷彿已經聽到雷聲。
我多想現在就跳上客運,搭車八小時,趕在你今晚升起營火前加入你的蟲鳴篝火的陣營,一起盤點銀河的神話。
但我腦已過載,心有遠方的風暴,拖著我沈重的身體無法行動。
或許進入夢境,我可以擺脫枷鎖,找到一點花香鳥語的餘裕放空。
但我已決定,明天清晨,我將爬上船桅大聲呼喊,冒著被厭惡、輕蔑、攻訐與鄙視的必然命運。
是的,這是我,大聲呼喊之必要。
溫柔之必要
肯定之必要
一點點酒和木樨花之必要正正經經看一名女子走過之必要
君非海明威此一起碼認識之必要
歐戰,雨,加農砲,天氣與紅十字會之必要散步之必要
溜狗之必要
薄荷茶之必要
每晚七點鐘自證券交易所彼端草一般飄起來的謠言之必要。旋轉玻璃門
之必要。盤尼西林之必要。暗殺之必要。晚報之必要
穿法蘭絨長褲之必要。馬票之必要
姑母遺產繼承之必要
陽臺,海,微笑之必要
懶洋洋之必要而既被目為一條河總得繼續流下去的
世界老這樣總這樣;──

CN區朋友們好,
這一講是從上一講第五講衍生而來的。第五講後來比較偏向理論一點的關於透明、隱私與善惡等,都要怪Dan提出讓人想太多的話題啦

如果真的要一點結論來安心一下的話,那就是:
走一條自己的路吧!當你建立了個人特色,甚至個人品牌,那麼你的 Aspiration以及別人對你的 Aspiration都會改變,你會往更高地方走去,而別人也不再以你為假想敵了~~~~
有道理嗎?希望是囉。^_^

Today I was thinking okay it’s 2018 now and I should do something really meaningful to kick start this new year, so the first thing that came to my mind is to learn something useful online. I know there are really so much resources online that can help you with learning virtually anything as long as it’s not too professional or obscure, and the amazing part is that normally these are not expensive or even free!!
So I ended up finding this amazing self-learning platform udemy and they are having a new year promotion for most of their online courses for $NT 330, which is about $11-$12. I decided to look for programming courses and since I’ve heard python so many times since I came here, I found some that look like good basic courses. Somehow I got some basic senses of what this is about just by watching those demo videos and I am still undecided if I am gonna pay and learn it.
But that’s not the main point of this post. Along the way, surprisingly, I found out that there are eleven existing udemy courses about Steemit!!!
Ouch!! I have never known this kind of courses exist and I cannot imagine that people would pay to register in these kind of courses!! It seems you can not only blogging to get paid, but you can also teaching how to “blogging to get paid” to get paid !! Wow~~~ this really opens my eyes …
Obviously this website is a platform for courses - you can be students and you can be teachers if you want. I am pretty sure I know no less than most of these Steemit teachers about this platform (my guess only since I did not really pay to watch these course), so it means I can also do this in the future! woohoo~~ Besides, there is no Chinese language versions! ^_^
Maybe these courses are just like so many posts on Steemit that no one reads, and they might not have many students… Let’s take a look at the top 3 courses.
Be A Pro Blogger! The Complete Steemit Cryptocurrency Course: rating 4.4 with 7,371 students.
Complete Steemit Course: Earn Cryptocurrency For Free: rating 4.2 with 3,304 students.
Steemit COMPLETE Steemit Cryptocurrency based Blogging Guide: rating 4.1 with 6,234 students.
Hey, only these three courses and they have a total of 16,909 students!!! Remember, these people paid to learn how to blog (and earn) on Steemit! I am sure that a very high percentage of them all have become Steemians. Remember there are still other 8 courses that I did not check. The number would be much higher…
If you are one of these eleven tutors, share your experience with us alright? Thanks!
Things really have changed… if you’ve got something that is valuable to others, anyone out there that can go online, then there are various ways for you to sell what you have to those others. Blockchain has enabled this even further.
Amazing world ahead ladies and gentlemen!

親愛的股票投資人你們好,
這是一封我現在想像的未來投資人寫給你們的信。我希望如果有些人在「現在」看到這封信,或許能夠提早準備好進入「未來」,股票投資不都是講究時間比人早的嗎?
在開始之前,我先說說我自己的股票投資經驗。說實在的,很丟臉,我的投資績效超差,真的就是典型的死樣子散戶,追高殺低,賺錢的賣太早,賠錢的一直抱,賣了就漲,買了就跌 … 連我老婆都常常取笑我是非常好的「反指標」… 別以為我想這樣,如果我是反指標,那每次我想如何,我就反其道而行不就好了?沒辦法,無論如何,我就是注定反指標 …
喔,這封信不是要談投資技巧,我說這些只是要讓你們知道,我懂什麼是股票投資,賺過賠過罵過心冷過,後來我索性就不投資了…
一直到我去年碰上「區塊鏈」這個很酷的科技之後,投資這件事情似乎無可避免地,以另一種方式,回到我的生活之中,它帶領著我重新認識思考這個世界,或許還沒能真改變多少,或許從世界的邊緣開始且慢慢受到主流的重視,但我已經幾乎可以想像,未來那個新的世界的樣子 …
接下來,讓我試著告訴你,這個已經漸漸開始,而未來可能主導世界樣貌的,代幣經濟秩序。
第一件你要習慣的事是:別再用%思考。
對,我很熟,台灣人叫它『趴』。在這所謂的微利時代,幾個 % 都能讓人高興,因為銀行的利息都還得跟1%奮鬥,退休?那是一種神話了。要是現在股票能穩定給你每年10%,大家都跪著膜拜,紛紛把退休用的本金拿來用力買了 …
在新秩序裡,是用「倍」來考慮的。請不要認為這是“我們”這些矇著買幣莫名賺錢的人說的炫耀話,「倍」可以是正的,也可以是負的。當然因為幅度更大,負雖然只能到負一,但這是所有投資的極限:賠光光(融資或舉債那是另一回事了)。以「倍」來考慮,固然可能是過渡時期的短暫現象,因為典範的轉移會牽涉到有人大好有人大壞,所以幅度波動劇烈。但這裡頭還是有新時代的特色:那就是經濟上的輸贏,對於變化很敏感。也就是說,市場時時刻刻在進步,不是你早點來,杵在這裡就可以爽爽賺的。
第二件你要習慣的事是:準備好計算機跟數學腦。
你習慣每種股票計價標準都是台幣、或人民幣、或美金等是吧?沒辦法,新時代來臨時,價格是多對多的。單位基本上是比特幣,絕大部分價格都是在零跟小數點後面,通常很後面;漸漸也有用以太幣為單位的,零可以少一兩個,但基本差不多。然後因為法幣還穩如泰山在主宰這世界,對法幣的單位也還成立 … 所以,可有的你算了,隨時弄個好按的計算機在手上是必要的(手機計算機會很累的)。然後買賣什麼的,都得小心零的數量是不是正確,否則是欲哭無淚啊!
第三件你要習慣的事是:沒有開收盤,存在即開盤。
是的,不再有什麼幾點開盤這種事。在台灣,早上九點開盤,下午一點半收盤,放假沒開盤,過年休更久。沒辦法,股市從業人員總是要休息啊!複雜一點,專業人士還得半夜或一早盯美股,跟歐股,時間被切的支離破碎。
在新秩序裡,去中間化(抱歉,證券業者們,甚至銀行某些部門人員,祝福你們職場轉換都一切順利!)的緣故,機器在執行一切,永遠都開盤,特定交易所也許會短暫關門,但交易所太多了,甚至去中心化後根本也就不會停了… 這是炒股者的美夢成真,還是惡夢成真?呵呵,你自己評斷了。
第四件你要習慣的事是:不要期待他者保障你的選擇。
舊股票時代,證券法規多如牛毛(造就了多少就業,或即將失業,的機會哪!),投資人總是指望政府好好監管,管好這些你投資的公司沒搞鬼沒內線交易。我並不認為這些監管都是無用的,它們確實起了不小的作用,可不要以為我是嘲笑股票派,我非常尊敬股票這個伴隨人類走過大半現代化時期的發明,偉哉股票,改變人類經濟與社會的運作,對於人類福祉的提高居功厥偉啊!
但,就像是我們向傳真機告別一樣,股票也終將完成其時代任務而走入歷史,成為蠟像館裡,受人回想與膜拜的對象。新世界裡,股票精神仍在,但其內涵肌理已經全然不同。投資是自己的選擇,這個事實不是任何監管可以保障的,而新世界裡,會有許多市場醞釀的方式來協助你鑑別好的資產,但永遠,投資都是你自己的選擇,月亮與龜苓膏,你得同時服用。
好多新變化是不?別擔心,別擔心,這裡面的人一樣貪婪,一樣愚蠢,這件事永遠不會變。
一樣會有一群自稱專家、顧問、先知的人,在媒體上興風作浪。很有可能還是這一批現在在檯面上的“專家”們,他們過去罵著比特幣是大泡沫大騙局的,現在漸漸改口說不妨買一些,未來搖身一變,他們都會成為加密資產的忠誠信徒:信我者得永遠犧牲。
一樣你我還是會追高殺低,投資嘛,不就是那回事,就是莊家坑散戶,集團坑散戶,公司派坑散戶,然後他們狼狽為奸,爾虞我詐嗎?沒事,放心,這不會變的。
一樣風險與報酬永遠都是連動的,高風險高報酬,超高風險超高報酬,抱歉了,這是世界運作的方式,不是可以透過科技改變的。
這一年來,我漸漸地不再看股市,不再看財經台,就跟我不再上臉書一樣。我的未來已來,只是其他大部分人還在現在,有時我走在街上,會覺得我是來自未來的時空旅人,有點孤單,但我忙得沒空孤單。
進入新的一年了,新世界似乎漸漸開始進入現在的視野,有那麼一點跡象,但一切可能都還很早。剛剛我還打開了一下財經節目,我興起一股懷舊之感:老朋友們你們好啊!還是在談這些嗎?在股市裡浮沈的人,通常都喜歡以看到趨勢為自豪:從智慧手機開始,穿戴裝置,VR/AR,物聯網,機器人… 或是北韓局勢、中東緊張 … 當趨勢這回來到這個世界(股票)運作的方式時,不知道在此世界邏輯下生活已久的你們,是否也能一樣敏銳?
這是我有點擔心的地方。
我不擔心投資機構、不擔心大戶、不擔心公司,我擔心散戶們,就是像我一樣無辜的散戶們,會不會是這場世紀大變動裡,受傷最重的一群人?這可能是一輩子受薪的勞動階級辛苦累積的最後一筆人生保障,這可能是上班族披星戴月存下來希望多賺一點來買房結婚的資金 … 這世界已經沒有,而且即將變得,更沒有穩定這回事了。我擔心他們舊時代的工作薪水日益微薄,累積的金錢卻又在新舊交替間流離失所 … 嗯,這也是沒辦法的事,我擔心自己先哪!
親愛的股票投資人,如果你有機緣看到這篇文章,不要認為我要你買進什麼。我只是希望提醒你,讓你警覺,世界“有可能”翻天覆地,請你及早準備,及早了解,未來知識才是力量,每個人都要為自己負責,永遠都是如此。我只是希望,萬一我說對了,能夠幸運成為曾經提醒你的那個人。
祝你 投資順心如意
自以為看到未來的你的散戶朋友
敬上

這幾個月來常常看到有人談比特股就會問問關於UIA是怎麼回事(因為自己沒空研究想搭搭便車),但一直以來都還是停留在粗淺認識上。今天下午好好地找找看看後,雖然稍微多懂了一些,但離自己能真的去發行UIA,恐怕還有段距離。實際操作上是很簡單,真的是點一點輸入一些參數就行,但這些選項背後的意義沒搞清楚前,我還不想胡亂嘗試… 把bitshares官網的兩個相關網頁翻譯了一下,作為今日工作的成果。歡迎各位對於UIA有興趣的朋友們可以加入行列一起來把這東西搞清楚一點… Bitshares系統真的是博大精深哪!容易上手,但要懂要學的事情真的還好多哪~
This post is a Chinese translation of two webpages (1,2) that are related to UIAs, which I am trying to study further and hopefully I can manage to try to issue some UIAs of my own soon.
ASSETS/TOKENS
比特股2.0網路有多種資產/代幣/貨幣。所有資產從技術角度來看都是一樣的,其特點都相差不大,主要特點是都可以在幾秒鐘之內相互交易或轉移。它們之間的差別主要是從其經濟特性來決定的。
The BitShares 2.0 network consist of several assets, tokens or currencies. All assets are equal from a technological point of view and come with more or less the same features, namely, they can be traded against each other and can be transferred within seconds. The differences between them are of economical nature.
比特股網路包括以下六種資產:
User Issued Assets (UIAs)
可由個人用戶根據各種應用場景所需而創造的自由交易代幣,例如股票、哩程、活動票證或是信用點數等。
Freely traded tokens created by individuals used for a variety of use-cases, such as stock, miles, event tickets or reputation points.
Market-Pegged Assets (MPA)
這些智能代幣(SmartCoins)用來盯緊特定之基本資產的價值,例如黃金、美元等。智能代幣創造者必須與比特股生態系統締約並將足夠之比特股(至少175%)放入所謂的擔保貸款來做為抵押品。
These SmartCoins track the value of an underlaying asset, such as Gold, or U.S. Dollar. Smartcoins can be created by anyone contracting with the BitShares ecosystem and putting sufficient BTS (at least 175%) into the so called collateralized loans as collateral.
Exchange Backed Assets (EBA)
這種資產通常被稱為借條(IOU),其可行使一個從特定中心實體提領等量背書資產的權利(手續費除外)。通常這是由銀行、交易所或是其他金融機構所發行,來代表存款的憑據。
This kind of asset is commonly known as I owe you (IOU). It represents the right to withdraw the same amount (minus fees) of a backing asset from a central entity. Often they are issued by a bank, an exchange or an other financial institute to represent deposit receipts.
Privatized Bit-Assets
此一資產可適當混合UIA與MPA特性,允許第三方創造適合自己的市場錨定資產(MPA)。
A flexible mixture between UIA and MPA that allows 3rd parties to create their own customized MPAs.
Fee Backed Assets
擁有此類資產將可以按比例獲得由特定經濟活動產生之交易費用,該活動是獨立於比特股網路來運作的。
An FBA is a token that pays you a fraction of the transaction fees generated by a particular feature that has been funded independent of BitShares.
Prediction Market Asset
此一資產與MPA類似,只是其錨定值介於零與一之間。在預測事件結束後,餵價(price feed)可以用來決定採行哪一個選項,然後參與者再按此價格結清平倉(settle)。
A prediction market is similar to a MPA, that trades between 0 and 1, only. After an event, a price feed can be used to determine which option to take and participants can settle at this price.
比特股允許個人與公司創造發行任何他們所能想像的代幣,這些UIA其潛在可運用的場景無可限量。從最簡單的來說,UIA可以用來作為一個活動票證的解決方案,可以把票證儲存於參加者的手機裡,來作為例如音樂會的入場方式。或是UIA可以用來進行群眾募資、所有權管理,甚至作為公司股票發行的方式。
BitShares allows individuals and companies to create and issue their own tokens for anything they can imagine. The potential use cases for so called user-issued assets (UIA) are innumerable. On the one hand, UIAs can be used as simple event tickets deposited on the customers mobile phone to pass the entrance of a concert. On the other hand, they can be used for crowd funding, ownership tracking or even to sell equity of a company in form of stock.
要發行UIA其實很簡單,只需要在系統裡為你的代幣選擇一些參數,例如供給量、精度、代號、簡介,之後不用幾秒鐘,你的幣就誕生了。此後,你就可以把你發行的幣給任何人,或是賣出,或是馬上就可以與其他比特股既有的其他資產/代幣相互交易。
All you need to do is click in order to create a new UIA is a few mouse clicks, define your preferred parameters for your coin, such as supply, precision, symbol, description and see your coin’s birth after only a few seconds. From that point on, you can issue some of your coins to whomever you want, sell them and see them instantly traded against any other existing coin on BitShares.
作為代幣發行者,你對於你的幣享有某些特權,例如,你可以決定其市場內的交易配對,管理誰能或不能擁有你的代幣的白名單或黑名單。不過,當然你也可以在信任與名聲的考量下,主動選擇放棄這些特權。
Unless you want some restriction. As the issuer, you have certain privileges over your coin, for instance, you can allow trading only in certain market pairs and define who actually is allowed to hold your coin by using white- and blacklists. Of course, an issuer can opt-out of his privileges indefinitely for the sake of trust and reputation.
雖然是在區塊鏈上發行代幣,但是你無須處理任何相關技術細節,諸如分散式共識機制、區塊鏈之開發或整合等,你甚至完全不需要運作任何挖礦設備或伺服器等。
As the owner of that coin, you don’t need to take care of all the technical details of blockchain technology, such as distributed consensus algorithms, blockchain development or integration. You don’t even need to run any mining equipment or servers, at all.
那麼,發行這種資產有什麼可能疑慮嗎?
So what’s the drawback?
在這樣場景下,發行新代幣主要的疑慮來自於中心化的發行者。某種程度上來說,這種疑慮可以透過採用階層式多重簽名帳號的管理方式來降低單一個人發行的風險,這種方式透過特定群體的共識來授權代幣發行條件的變更。
There is a drawback in this scenario, namely, a centralized issuance of new tokens. To some extend, this could be managed by a hierarchical multi-signature issuer account that prevents any single entity from issuing new coins but instead requires a consensus among an arbitrary set of people to agree on any changes to the coin.
不同國家對於不同性質代幣發行的相關法律規範差異甚大,因此,比特股也提供許多便利性的工具以便於代幣發行者能夠符合相關法規,當然前提是當局允許這類資產的發行。
Obviously, the regulations that apply to each kind of token vary widely and are often different in every jurisdiction. Hence, BitShares comes with tools that allow issuers to remain compliant with all applicable regulations when issuing assets assuming regulators allow such assets in the first place.

I am really not a fan of those breaking ATH news posts, really. But I am gonna do it today myself, what the heck!!
I am not thrilled because of my increased wealth, as I have no intention of selling it any time soon. I am thrilled to have witnessed this moment - Steem sitting at $8, twice the price of previous ATH in such a short period of time when we just welcome the new year and have not get ready for any crazy run like this …
I am just happy for myself sticking around until now, but to be honest, it wasn’t hard at all for the past few months. I don’t know why this would happen and I don’t mind if it drops back to $1 soon or even lower … As I am here and will be here for as long as people still read my posts … At least I will be reading them. ^_^
It’s a new era from now on. Although I still miss the old one, I will embrace the new one as hard as ever …
See this all time chart below? Just so incredible … Congratulations to everyone, old and new and those coming soon!
朋友們好,此時多說無用,見證歷史就是這樣吧!恭喜我們一起在這裡經歷這一刻,我其實只是欣慰有幸還繼續在這裡,也沒什麼太激動的。
好玩的是,半年前這帖最後隨口說說的$10,竟然真的這麼接近!我當時根本不把這句話當回事的呢~~
🙊 昨夜風狂雨驟 怎麼我一夜好眠?🙊 Sleep Well Free From Steem Waves
該不會這帖發出去就達成了吧?呵呵,敬請平常心、平常心~~ 就像是半年前這帖,當時應該是在猛跌一樣。
謝謝此刻在這裡一同見證的朋友們哪!這都是以後可以吹牛的截圖啊~~
