Recently, meme has been playing more and more, and it has even begun to have practical effects.
For example, scientific research literature is originally written by scientific research giants and horses all over the world, but this business has been held on several global literature websites for a long time. Not only is it expensive to download, but scientific research giants and horses have not made any profits.
Gradually, people in the academic circle began to resist and began to spread academic materials for free~
In fact, this is also very simple. It is to collect the scientific research database and download it for anyone for free.
The most successful project is Sci-Hub, which was founded in 2011 and is founded by Alexander Elbakin of Kazakhstan (hereinafter referred to as Sister A)
This project was so successful that Sister A also won the top 10 scientific research figures in Nature magazine in 2016:
But this incident has touched a lot of vested interests. Sci-Hub has been sued many times since 2015 and was sentenced to compensation of Elsevier for $15 million in 2017.
The blow received by this project is not limited to this. Sister A’s tweet is still protesting that Twitter blocked Sci-Hub’s official Twitter in 2021.
Although there are many people in the academic community who use Sci-Hub, the relative interest vested group is still too low to make many ordinary people know what is going on here.
But all this may be changed by meme.
First of all, CZ and V God participated in Desci’s activities at the same time, which directly made the distributed science track popular:
Then there is the dual OG of encryption and academic circles. AA, a big man from Peking University, discovered the fairly distributed meme: $scihub, realized that this might be a very attractive story for Desci, and then bought it into a big dealer by himself.
A few hours ago, AA contacted Sister A very well and wanted to donate more than 20% of her holdings to Sci-Hub:
You should know that for so many years, Sister A has been fighting against these academic chaebols alone, and her main source of income is donations.
Now that the meme of $scihub becomes popular, Sister A may be able to live a life that matches her contributions.
Currently, the market value of $scihub is 50 million US dollars, and the donations that Sister A has received are worth 5.5 million US dollars.
In addition, Sister A can continue to receive 9% donations in the next year.
This fund should be enough for Sister A to be financially free in Kazakhstan.
In addition, for ordinary people who don’t understand academic knowledge, speculating on $scihub is also considered to be a contribution to the academic circle.
