Ten years ago, two weeks before the Ethereum project released publicly, I published this article in Bitcoin Magazine, advocating that the issuance tokens may be a new way for financing for important public projects.At that time, the thinking was like this: the society needs to fund large projects with valuables. Markets and institutions (including companies and governments) are the main means we have today. In some cases, the two are valid, and in other cases, they will fail in other cases.EssenceThe issuance of new tokens seems to be the third large -scale financing technology. It seems to be different from the market and institutions. It will succeed and fail in different fields -therefore, it can fill some important gaps.
Those who care about cancer research can hold, accept and trade Anticancercoin; those who care about environmental protection will hold and use climate coins, and so on.The tokens that people choose to use will determine which business is funded.
Today, in 2024, one of the main discussions in the “encrypted field” seems to be a mystery.We have seen a coin before, and the earliest dog coins can be traced back to 2015, and the “dog coin” is also a major topic during the 2020-21 season.During this time, they warmed up again, but this way makes many people feel uneasy, because these mini currencies are not particularly novel or interesting.In fact, it is often the opposite: recently, some Solana fans have been publicly exposed to super racism.Even the non -racist mini currency, it seems that the price often fluctuates up and down, and there is no value contribution afterwards.
People are frustrated:

Even Polynya, a long -term Ethereum philosopher, is very very upset:

A answer to this problem is to shake our heads and send a virtue signal, indicating how disgust we are and opposing this stupid behavior.To some extent, this is the correct approach.But at the same time, we can also ask another question: if people value fun and financial games seem to sometimes provide this at least, can the whole concept have a more correct version?
Charitable coin
The most interesting coins I have ever seen are a large part of the token supply (or some continuous charging mechanisms) for some kind of charity coins.A year and a half ago, there was a tokens (no longer active) called “Givewell inu” (no longer active) to Givewell.In the past two years, a coin called “Longba Fables” appeared. In addition to other businesses, it also supports cultural projects related to anti -aging research.Unfortunately, these two are far from perfect: Givewell inu does not seem to be maintained, and another member of the core community with very annoying core communities, they constantly entangle my attention, which makes me unwilling to mention many times.them.What’s more successful is that after half of the Dogelon Mars token supply I got, the Marta Sarah Foundation, the two Martala Foundation and the Dogelon Mars community seemed to have developed a positive relationship with each other, tracing $ Elon into charity.currency.
It feels like there is an unmanned opportunity here, you can try to create something that is more correct and lasting.But in the end, I think that even this will cause some fundamental restrictions, and we can do better.
Robin Han game
In principle, people’s participation in the cause coins may rise because (i) value may rise, (ii) they feel democratic and open to anyone, and (iii) they are interesting.We can take away a large part of Memecoin’s supply to support people’s values public products, but this has no direct help for participants, and it is actually at the cost of sacrifice (i). If it is not done well, we will use it well, and we will use it well.(ii) At the cost.Can we do somethingimproveThese two aspects of ordinary users?
(III) The answer is simple: Don’t just make coins, but also make games.But to make oneReally meaningful and interesting gameEssenceDon’t think of “Candy Crush” on the blockchain; think about the World of Warcraft on the blockchain.

How is Robin Han now?When I visited low -income Southeast Asian countries, I often hear a saying that some people or their family members used to be poor before, but in 2021, I made a medium and wealthy function through Axie Infinity.Of course, the situation of Axie Infinity in 2022 is not very good.But even so, my impression is that if you consider the “Making and Earn” attributes of the game,On average, the net financial income of high -income users is negative, but it is possible for low -income users (emphasizing possible!).-Eposus usersEssenceThis seems to be a good property: if you must be economically cruel to someone, then the cruelty of those who can deal with it, but there is a security net to protect low -income users, and even try to make them live better than they come in.When
不管Axie Infinity 在这方面做得有多好，直觉上感觉（i）如果目标是满足人们玩得开心的愿望，我们不应该制作简单的复制粘贴硬币，而应该制作更复杂和有趣的游戏，并且(Ii) Those who make low -income players, especially inEconomically betterThe game is more likely to make their community better than when they come in.Charity dollars and games can even be combined: one of the characteristics of the game may be a mechanism. Players can successfully complete a task to participate in voting and decide which charity institutions are allocated to the issued funds.
In other words, making a truly interesting game is a challenge -to see some of the negative views of AXIE in interesting aspects, and how they have improved since then.I personally have the most confident to make an interesting encrypted game team 0xparc, because they have successfully produced twice (!!!) crypto games (first DARK FOREST, then FrogCrypto), players are willing to play completely for fun, notFor the desire to make money.Ideally, the goal is to create an environment created by all players: money is zero, but fun can be positive.
in conclusion
I have a personal moral code: “If you don’t like certain types of people or groups, please want to praise at least the best of them because they are most in line with your values.” If you hate them because the government invades the freedom of the people,Maybe you can find some space in your heart and say something for the Swiss government.If you hate the social media platform because it plunder user value and encourage harmful behaviors, but you think that Reddit only has half of the harsh social media, then say more about Reddit.On the contrary -shout, “Yes, all X have problems” -Although it feels happy at the moment, it will alienate people and push them further to their information cocoon room, where they will completely block what you may send out in the future.Any moral appeal.
I have the same view of the “speculation” part of the encryption field.I have no interest in the tokens named after the totalitarian political movement, scams, and carpet -style strokes. They are exciting in N+January, but they are upset in N+January.At the same time, I respect the desire of people who want to entertain. I would rather find a way to “conform to” this trend in the field of encryption, rather than going against the current.Therefore, I hope to see more interesting projects to get more attention. These projects can make positive contributions to the entire ecosystem and the surrounding world (not just “attracting users).At least, there should be more interesting coins than garbage. Ideally, they should support public products, rather than just profitable internal personnel and creators.The most ideal thing is to do games rather than tokens and do projects that people like to participate.
