If BTC were a company, its market cap would rank #10 in the world now (293B)

airplanes-713662_1280.jpg

With Bitcoin price rising so fast and ouch, I investigate again its market cap against those big giants in the world. As per the moment I write this post, Bitcoin has a marketcap of 293 billion US dollars.

From a source named Statista (data date is in April but still approximately usable I think), the world’s most valuable company is no surprise Apple from the US with a market cap of 752B! Well done! The 2nd one is Alphabet (aka Google) with 579.5B. Again, no surprise.

So, Bitcoin, if viewed as a company, where would it be on the list?

Number 10 now!!


Replacing Tencent from China and chasing JPMorgan #9! Even so, I assume it may @surpassinggoogle and @surpassingapple soon, although might not happen this year but definitely within one year…

It’s also interesting to compare cryptocurrency as a whole. The total marketcap is 443B. This would be #3 between Microsoft and Amazon now.

This comparison is for fun and to give you some sense about how big these coins are, but of course cryptocurrencies are very very different from companies.

If you are wondering how #2 and onward cryptocurrencies’ ranking, well, I can tell you that all of them are off the table as the last (#100) one Mitsubishi has a marketcap of 83.9B. Still twice as large as Ethereum.

For your information and leisure. ^_^

關於這個瘋狂幣的一些想法

朋友們晚安,

下午發了一篇關於那個瘋狂幣的文章,寫完後越想越覺得有趣,晚上沒事就在想,那個幣都被洗光光了,所以是純粹好奇難忍,還真是很少在Steem上碰到我真的毫無頭緒的事啊!(當然還有很多不懂的地方,但沒像這種是我連知道有人知道怎麼回事都不知道的)

後來,想到一個思路,於是到處查查,拿著計算機按呀按,雖然還是無法拼湊出來,但既然想過一輪,總覺得沒人分享很可惜,所以趁晚上再把我這思路給說一下。本篇文章完全與投資建議無關,純粹探討市場怪象好玩。我又怕說不定說我還真說中了什麼,所以只寫中文,只跟CN區大家分享,連那幣英文名稱都不提的,哈哈。就稱它CT,瘋狂代幣好了。

那我開始說了。

2, 3,… 好,有人亂買,笨蛋瘋子韭菜。4, 5,… 好,某錨定美刀的幣快倒了,大家要找安全地方。6, 7, 8!啥?以上這些理由還能有道理嗎?至少我是不信哪!

到底為什麼買?為什麼賣不用討論,到底為什麼買?為什麼?

先看一些數字:

  • CT總市值1,387比特
  • CT總量356萬
  • CT的媽媽ST總市值27,298比特
  • CT今日24hr交易總量1,261比特!幾乎是總市值了
  • CT的媽媽ST今日24hr交易總量1,320比特,差不了多少了
  • 今天在B網幾次主要的上拉,總量大概400比特左右

看我前一篇文章裡頭的數字:全網CT幾乎6成多都到兩交易所去了,尤其是4成多在B網。個人帳戶內所剩籌碼有限了。

接下來就是每天獎勵池新增發的獎勵裡面會有CT了,這會是每日新供給。忽略掉有些人還選100% SP,那麼我算算每日新增CT會是7萬左右(算錯請指正一下)。

看得出我的猜想嗎?

就是 ….

會不會有大戶,或幾個大戶聯合,想吃下所有,或大部分CT?其實,看總市值,成本也不是不可想像(具體要多少我也不太好說,總之會比總市值低很多,我想總值1/4應該就夠了?那就只要300多個比特,鉅款,對於我們;但對於大戶或大戶聯合體,可能只是總資產的一部分而已)。

好,就算這樣是做得到的(也可持續,應為新增籌碼有限,只要不改規則)。問題仍在於,為什麼?

有什麼好處?

我只能繼續猜。CT瘋狂漲,漲到月亮、火星、土星、天王星 …. 到底對誰有好處?畢竟這不是一個獨立的幣啊!

如果,我們可以假設,CT媽媽ST會母以子貴,帶動ST上漲,那麼,或許這是個雙重市場的概念?而且ST市場儘管成交總量沒多多少,但總市值可是遠高於兒子啊!

有人希望ST總市值衝高,如果以上CT帶動ST的邏輯說得的通的話 …. 那就是用錢把CT包場玩了。

有點道理。

有好些人是不想把錢離開這體系的,所以CT大漲,就去『趁便宜』買入ST也是合理的選擇。CT大漲,似乎也可以看成是媽媽ST很成功的象徵,這樣ST價格自然也堅挺(相對CT跌,但相對法幣漲)。

只是我左按右按地計算,如果出自於一部份大鯨魚的自利動機,那似乎得要是很大很多聯合比較合理,但搞這麼大一齣,是為了大量拉高ST來出貨,用那部分來彌補拉高CT的損失,感覺會不會太多變數了?

呵呵,我說完了。沒有說什麼結論。推論嘛,也是不太清楚。但人為操作,我感覺幾乎是必然的。

拋磚引玉,或許你能從我的思路裡,找出更有道理的答案?

最後再分享一個觀察,日後大家攢了這CT幣,然後還這麼瘋的話,你可以參考一下:

瘋狂時刻,通常在中國時間早上八點鐘展開。

推論思考有對有錯,跟進研究時請勿全信。

The distribution of our beloved Super Brilliant Dollar, but why?


photo: Douglas SBD Dauntless bomer


Ok, the hottest news in town and I suppose you already know that - SBD is Super Brilliant Dollars that trading around $5-$7 today!

This got me interested to look further about this asset. So I dig a little bit further. According to https://steemd.com/, we now have 3,559,194.378 as current_sbd_supply. That is more than three and half million SBDs out there. With SBD skyrocketing to the moon now, I suppose many SBD owners would transfer their SBD in the wallet to exchanges and sell. So I checked SteemWhales.com’s SBD wealth ranking and found out that …

WOW!! More than 65% of the system’s pegged assets is now moved to the top 2 exchanges!

So I made the following top 20 SBD holder table for your information here. Top 20 holders account for more than 72% of total supply!


Rank Name Steem Dollars Ratio
#1 bittrex 1,552,602 43.62%
#2 poloniex 794,529 22.32%

|#3| imadev| 71,103| 2.00%

|#4| teamsmooth-mm| 46,685| 1.31%

|#5| azeroth| 20,966| 0.59%

|#6| monobyte|17,912 |0.50%

|#7| rocket.chat| 11,895 |0.33%

|#8| steemit| 8,572 |0.24%

|#9| lukewearechange| 6,489| 0.18%

|#10| theoretical| 5,812 |0.16%

|#11| ned| 5,743 |0.16%

|#12| privex| 5,263 |0.15%

|#13| steemit2| 4,992| 0.14%

|#14| arhag| 4,760| 0.13%

|#15| steemitblog| 4,612| 0.13%

|#16| hitbtc-exchange| 4,604 |0.13%

|#17| alot| 4,491 |0.13%

|#18| stan| 4,409 |0.12%

|#19| utopian-io| 4,239 |0.12%

|#20| cyrano| 4,111| 0.12%

|-| SUM |2,583,789 |72.59%


The result is not surprising as a supposedly $1 asset somehow goes nuts and trading at more than 5, 6, 7 times its intrinsic value of course will enormously drive people who hold them to dig every cent of it and sell for this unusual profit… (I sold most of mine at $2 to $3, which is great already and never did I foresee this coming)

The mystery is therefore …

Who is buying?


Certainly this chart won’t give us any clues as buyers are hiding behind the exchanges… I don’t know if we will ever know this answer in the future…

But even if we don’t. As long as there is someone buying in such a good price for most of us …

Can we hard fork to produce much more SBDs to them?


It seems logical to do so, but without a logical answer to the first question, every move seems weird though.

Gosh! Aren’t these crypto stuffs so freaking interesting!



Douglas SBD-6 Dauntless


CN Version

瘋狂了,SBD我從沒見過能到7刀的,瘋狂至極。我2-3刀早就賣光光,實在是難以想像背後原因。無論如何,勢必大家都把床底下的,內層口袋裡藏的,所有SBD都掏出來賣了吧?看來越晚知道得越好啊!難不成會上10刀?

因此我就研究了一把,把SteemWhales的SBD排行拉出來看,果然六成都到了交易所了,甚至前20持幣者占了總供給的七成以上!總量也就是三百五十多萬刀,讓我不禁想,第一,到底誰在買啊?背後原因實在令人費解。

幾個月前的那一波,我接受了一種解釋就是幣圈韭菜湧入,見幣就瘋狂亂買,所以把這個錨定的資產也給胡亂買入了。但這一次,明顯就是人為操作啊!有人猜測是官方想有些什麼動作,但我怎麼想都不明白啊!

要不乾脆硬分叉來餵給市場好了,這不是蠻好的策略嗎?Steem整體媒人受損啊?分叉個幾百萬顆新的SBD給他們去買吧!反正我們的債權就是一刀 … 哈哈,不過,似乎天下沒這麼好的事啊?

目前,大家就是只能寫文章攢SBD了…. 年底怪事特別多?

歲末之思 Approaching year-end

歲末年終時節,許多地方充滿一種總結的氣氛:公司行號或許正開始準備彙整一年經營的成果,政府機關開始結束年度的許多作業,每個個人可能在忙碌之餘,看到聖誕將屆,新年在即,捷運轉車、路口等紅燈之時,回想了一下到底今年都幹了些什麼事了?

我的收入成長了嗎?工作更上層樓?房貸還了更多?孩子又大了一歲,這一項不用問號。

還是健康變差了仍拖著沒去醫院處理?父母又老了一歲自己卻仍陷在事業裡沒能多回回家?夫妻關係又過去一個可有可無的一年?

三十多歲了,四十多歲了,五十多歲了,還有幾年光景可以歲歲年年如此?人生,也不過就是一晃眼。比特,都膨脹十多倍了呢!

不過就這1年,12個月,365天,8,760個鐘頭,3千1百多萬秒 … 的轉瞬。

agenda-1928416_1280.jpg

我沒有要在這裡總結我這一年,雖然,有著太多可以說的事兒,多到不知道從哪裡說起。卻也可以一字不說,其實,過去的時光,就是永遠的消失了,The last second is survived by the next and so on。

說的這一秒,事情就變了,對,你看過最近的btc跟sbd吧,變的可快了 …. 不如就不說吧。就聽,就看,這世界想怎樣。

還是說說吧,不說那麼大,不總結,不彙報。

最近確實,從各方面,跟人互動聊天,都有種抽出身來,一起看看說說這世界的感覺。儘管,結論通常停留在無奈,個人無法控制,社會集體的困境上,最後仍總要,回到一種人與人之間的客氣,相互勉勵,對話總不能停留在灰色的結尾。也不純粹只是客套,或許每個人的基因裡,都預先刻入一些非零的樂觀值,讓人的生命總找得到繼續的動力。

此刻又想起,周末清晨早起,去附近爬了一下山。正當氣喘吁吁,在山路上來回快走,前方不遠處見到一位可能已年過八旬的老爺爺,拄著拐杖,深駝著背,緩慢地,在山路上前行。山路甚窄,拐杖與老翁佔據3/4,於是我放慢速度,不願意催促他,慢慢等有機會再繞過去。

沒想到老爺爺竟然能感覺到後方有人,主動停下讓我先行,我稍微欠身繞過,輕聲點頭道謝,正要邁步,卻聽他開口道:你剛剛下去又上來了啊?

是對我說。所以,我停下腳步,回頭,給予微笑說聲對啊!心裡還在想剛剛怎麼沒注意到他。原本以為是客套寒暄,但老先生似乎不願意放我走,開始跟我滔滔不絕起來:很少看到你啊?住附近嗎?在上班嗎?… 原本礙於禮貌,只是客氣以對,只是問題都是有理有據,不得不打起精神 …

老先生真的是很老了,說話也充滿外省口音,得要認真辨認。對話之後,感覺得到他的孤單寂寞,就連山道上一個擦身而過的陌生人,他都緊緊抓住每個說話的機會 ….

最後我當然還是走了,用我等一下得上班的理由(倒也是真的),心中有許多感慨。老先生說起,他有個女兒在美國工作,幾年才回來一次。問起我有沒有想要考高考,因為他好像是考試院的官員退休(可別以為他還真能幫什麼忙啊,既不該也不可能) … 他年邁的身體看似已腐朽不堪,甚至說話都斷續而不清楚,但你可以感知到,那裡面的靈魂,仍未老去,仍充滿生命地,想越過身體的限制,跟其他靈魂對話 …

老爺爺顯然是在人生的年底階段了,每天每天,除了處理活著這件事,空閒之餘,不就是時時刻刻在總結這一生嗎?

忙了大半輩子,把子女送上好的人生道路,最後,隻身一人,在山路上尋找任何願意收留他一份寂寞的陌生人。

人生,究竟該在乎什麼?

或許,這才是該總結的。

象神迦尼萨之日

Original title: Tuesday : Lord Ganesh Day
Authored by @bindu, translated by @ygern

混杂的宗教与文化景观,是尼泊尔印度教信徒生活中的一部分。尤其在加德满都这样的小城市,各个种姓、文化、宗教信仰的人都居住在这里。世界文化遗产如帕舒帕蒂纳特庙(Pashupati)、斯瓦扬布纳特寺(Swoyambhunath)、巴克塔普尔王宫广场(Bhaktapur Durbar Square)等等,都坐落在加德满都。在这里,我们会看到许许多多的寺庙,以及大量前来朝圣的人群。

这三年以来,每个星期二都是我的斋戒日。这是遵循母亲给我的建议——为了我的健康与财富,她认为我应该履行斋戒。我们在这一天祭拜象神迦尼萨(lord Ganesh)。据说,供奉象神最好的水果,是香蕉。

今天,一大清早我就到了象神庙。祭司和信徒早已挤得水泄不通。纯洁无邪的白鸽让寺庙的氛围变得更欢愉。许多人忙着给鸽子喂食玉米和谷粒。

[MEME] Why Our 3 Seconds Confirmation Blockchain Does Not Have CryptoPets?



*

Yeah, I am talking about those crazily hot CryptoKitties … Just cannot get myself one of those. I actually just want to buy a white cat first. Too bad the ethereum blockchain is not up for it for now… Guess I will have to wait…

>對!我很不爽,有錢買不到最夯的CryptoKitties,以太貓咪。只是想買一隻跟家裡的一樣的白貓咪而已,為什麼這麼困難呢?看來以太鏈不太行啊,只好再等等了… Orz

Meanwhile, I am whining why we the faster blockchain does not have this idea first… It’s not too late developers!!

>然而也想到咱們號稱3秒確認的高速Steem之鏈,為什麼沒有推出這種新奇有趣的鏈上寵物呢?有的話我一定會等自己家的產品啊!希望有開發能力的人趕緊跟上風潮啊!這樣就可以大量提高用戶黏著度呢,快啊!

### I would rather buy Steem version kitties if there is a choice!


the following is the screenshots that I prepared along the way to write a “I have a CryptoKitty” post but failed more than twice. bummer!

>以下就是我買了兩次白貓都失敗的紀錄… 失敗可是不只兩次。原本是要用來寫炫耀文的留存圖片,現在是傷心的紀錄…










## Somebody please give me a chance to buy a Blockchain Cat OK!?
