A Book on the Shelf - Bitcoin Billionaires

photo6100453844115892990.jpg

Last night when we went to a bookstore, we saw this book on the shelf.

A Chinese translation of the following book:

https://www.amazon.com/Bitcoin-Billionaires-Genius-Betrayal-Redemption/dp/1250217741

It’s about “the fascinating story of brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss’s big bet on crypto-currency and its dazzling pay-off.”

I stood there and read a few pages. It is really intriguing and great writing. But I told my wife that I won’t buy it unless…

Unless one day cryptocurrency gives me financial freedom.

Well, that means I have to count on STEEM to fulfill this dream since I don’t have much bitcoin…

The Winklevoss brothers are really genius. One success you can call it luck, two in a row it’s undeniable.

I was surprised to know that Charlie Shrem, who was once a Steemian, played a key role in this story…

Wish me buy this book one day, would you!? ^_^

夜市消費抵用券之代幣化

photo6095722525322488208.jpg

這是台灣政府發的”夜市消費抵用券”,老婆給我的,據說是要搭配什麼秋冬遊的國內旅遊優惠,飯店會給一些夜市券,可以百分百折抵現金,在特定夜市使用。

她拿回來後,我們上周在家裡附近夜市買了鴨翅,$200買了八只鴨翅,啃得很開心~~~ 老闆收券也沒有任何質疑或是不願意,看起來現金化程度很高,沒問題。

後來我邊啃鴨翅,一邊在想….

這不就是tokenization嗎?

券在特定時間特定地點內,等同新台幣現金。也可以說是穩定幣stale coin,但是有些限制,所以比較適合說是tokens。

夜市的utility tokens。

當然啦,這是”中心化”的代幣,政府做莊,容易做起來,各地夜市攤販都很願意接受的。台灣好多年前發過消費券,為了挽救經濟蕭條,那個券更是等同於新台幣現金,只是限制使用時間。人人都有$3,600,當時很high,政府發錢,在澳門或新加坡可能有過,在台灣可是頭一遭!

總之呢~~~

其實”代幣化”根本不是什麼新鮮事,只是我們比較少從這樣的想法去想這些既存的事物,只是新時代的代幣化運用了電腦跟區塊鏈,有更強大的應用潛力(也讓政府更害怕)而已~~~

太陽底下無新鮮事,這句話,還是很強大的!

2020元旦美食:解解渴愛玉與林家牛肉麵

我們元旦爬象山那一天,除了早午餐之外,還吃了兩項美食喔!

其一是象山登山口的小店家,解解渴公司,哈!很酷的名稱。賣愛玉跟餐包麵包,我們站著吃了愛玉,帶著三個餐包解饞路上吃~~~

其二是走到了比較遠的莊敬路一帶,去吃了算是有名的林家牛肉麵。巷弄中的美食。

photo6093528325315209563.jpg

不算便宜,但是,是牛肉麵嘛~~可以接受的。我們點了牛肉/牛雜/牛肚麵各一碗,自己分配混合,三人吃。

photo6093528325315209561.jpg

小菜一盤,挺好吃。

photo6093528325315209562.jpg

小碗的牛麵,看起來小,卻其實分量不小,麵不少,湯可能是強調原汁,湯比較少點。但湯頭是中藥去燉的,很對我胃口,應該還會想回來吃喔!

photo6091671980320336262.jpg

我們吃完覺得很飽,所以後面還去走了很遠的路呢!這可是爬完山之後的繼續行腳啊,看來牛肉真的給力啊,呵呵~~~

本篇結束2020年元旦開局的分享囉~~

[社區閒聊] 蛤?這樣的首頁?

此時的首頁,真是讓人覺得可笑啊

除了列第三的Steem statistics算是蠻不錯的圖形簡潔顯示Steem區塊鏈獎勵情況,屬於很適當的首頁文章之外,第一第二是burnpost這種外人都不懂的文章,第四也還是SBD Potato很類似性質的東西,真的是頗讓人傻眼....

這樣的訊息就是在說:**本平台沒有什麼好內容可以獎勵,所以我們把獎勵都拿來搞其他試驗...**

我肯定不會反對我的文章內容沒有上首頁的資格,但我非常確定,就算是現在,絕對每天文章中一定有更值得這些文章可以擺上首頁的,而且應該很多篇...

我其實沒有太多反對burnpost或SBD Potato等試驗的立場,那是另一個話題,但最後結果是讓他們上了首頁,這樣實在很讓人傻眼~~~ 畢竟首頁是一個外人初次來到Steem會觀察的指標啊~~~

當年我剛來的時候,看人教大家打果汁上首頁,賺了幾百刀,我因此也開始弄個打果汁的文章啊,雖然沒有成功,但這就是首頁的力量啊

一個內容平台,好幾篇首頁文章在利用平台機制與社區力量自己在”修復”平台的一些問題,這件事還真是有點荒謬

平台有問題,不是該好好檢討鏈的機制,用一些旁門左道,雖然立意不見得不好,總是.... 哎

話說回來,如果我們採取一種去中心化社區概念,暫時以為Steemit Inc不存在,那麼,這種現象也不是不能接受,因為任何事”存在即合理”,而我寫這一篇文章,就是自我修復力量的微小一環吧?

全球最美書店?蔦屋書店 Tsutaya Bookstore @ Nanggang Taipei

被譽為全球最美書店的日本蔦屋書店 Tsutaya Bookstore,進入台灣市場已經幾年。我一直沒機會去好好看看。

一起去瞧瞧!


這面書牆好震撼哪!

新聞有報導,蔦屋書店在日本都只和星巴克合作,沒想到在台灣,被本土新龍頭 Louisa Coffee給打進去了!真是厲害啊~~~~ 我是沒想到有可能。

那天是假日,人潮洶湧,我跟兒子在圖書區待了十來分鐘之後,我們就走人了~~~~ 下次找非假日時間來,好好享受這間美麗書店的氛圍!

A Fresh Start of 2020 - Part II - Climbing Mt. Elephant 🕺💃 爬象山繼續為2020開局

Right after this:

A Fresh Start of 2020 - The Wooloomooloo Brunch! 🕺💃 Wooloomooloo的早午餐開始2020!

We went mountain climbing. The target was an easy one - Mt. Elephant in the Xinyi district that even little kid can conquer. Yet, it can be exhausting if you rush. It’s not even higher than the Taipei 101 building nearby, but don’t ever look down on it, the Elephant can be really formidable!!!

Tag along and enjoy the journey with me right from your couch!


The entrance, or one of the entrances of the hiking trails. It seems many people had selected the same way to enjoy the opening of 2020 like us.

photo6084370226679490987.jpg

The whole journey is accompanied by Taipei 101 all the way. Well, at least you won’t get lost.

Green green green …

Group of six big rocks here. Nice spot for taking photos with the rocks or 101.

photo6084370226679490985.jpg

Gotta watch out for yourself if you decide to climb higher.

photo6084370226679490983.jpg

Lots of lookouts along the trail. Again, 101 everywhere.

photo6084370226679490984.jpg

photo6084370226679490986.jpg

photo6084370226679490979.jpg

What did I tell you?

photo6084370226679490980.jpg

photo6084370226679490981.jpg

photo6084370226679490989.jpg

Time to head downhill. Time to test your knees. Ouch!

photo6084370226679490977.jpg

May they remember the moment forever.

photo6084370226679490974.jpg

How do you like these pictures?

Recommend to come here to spend your new year holiday next time. Watch the famous Taipei 101 firework show on New Year’s eve and wake up early (or never sleep) to go hiking on this trail nearby. It would be a great little getaway trip if you are not seeking magnificent new year trips like Sydney Harbor Bridge Firework show or Dubai’s Burj Khalifa …


朋友們,上一篇文章分享了我的新年早午餐,這一篇帶你們去好好動一動!咱們爬象山去!額~~象山聽起來威猛,其實只是台北信義區四獸山四座小山頭之一,你要稱為大土丘,其實也沒有不貼切啦,哈哈哈

其實也蠻陡的,要爬久一點,也有很多條步道可以繼續,絕對適合各種類型的爬山跟不爬山的雙腿人。我們上山覺得,還好嘛~~開始下山後,膝蓋可是不住地抖動啊~~還得帶著時不受控的七歲小兒,確實也是有點累。

但是山上空氣好,爬完之後肉體疲累,精神舒爽,不禁覺得,這個新年開局的活動真是選得太正確啦~

如果你是年輕人,下次到台灣旅遊可以考慮來過元旦新年假期,12/31晚上在101附近倒數看表演跟煙火(美國CNN精選全球10大跨年點),然後不睡覺,去吃吃消夜或唱歌,早上4點5點來爬象山,7點下山去升旗之類的…

這個美夢就交給你完成囉~~~~
