Second Master Bao Guo Hongcai
Guo Hongcai, known as "Er Bao" in the currency circle, reveals the unique shrewdness of Shanxi people in his relaxed expression.
Recalling how he embarked on the path of investing in Bitcoin, he himself felt very magical. Erbao was born in Pingyao. Pingyao is famous for its ancient city and beef. Before becoming a professional Bitcoin player, he was the head of the sales department of Pingyao Beef Group Co., Ltd.
The purpose of his coming to Beijing that year was to learn how to use e-commerce channels to sell beef. As a result, he made a group of friends in the Internet circle. Listening to them talk about the skyrocketing rise and fall of Bitcoin every day, I was so impressed that I gradually developed a strong interest in this thing and decided to completely change my career to study Bitcoin full-time.
In 2014, Guo Hongcai built what was then the world’s largest Bitcoin mine in Inner Mongolia. The reason why I chose Inner Mongolia is that the climate there is cool, which is conducive to computer heat dissipation, and the electricity price is relatively cheap. "The mine looks like a chicken farm from a distance. It is full of Bitcoin mining machines. We consume about 500,000 yuan in electricity every day. At that time (2014), we could produce 100 Bitcoins." In 2014, it was dug out The electricity cost of one Bitcoin is about 5,000 yuan.
Later, the cost of Bitcoin mining became higher and higher, and the electricity bill for each Bitcoin reached 10,000 yuan. Guo Hongcai also shifted his focus to other directions. In 2016, he was invited to attend the Davos Forum. Wearing a T-shirt and slippers, he challenged the financial professionals in suits and ties. Although there were some grammatical errors, his speech still shocked everyone!
Now, Guo Hongcai has become a heavyweight in the Chinese currency circle. His career tentacles extend to all aspects of the currency circle, and he is also a famous angel investor.

Li Xiaolai, a former New Oriental famous teacher, is the author of many best-selling books such as "Treating Time as a Friend", "New Life - Seven Years is a Lifetime", "TOEFL Core Vocabulary 21 Day Breakthrough", etc. Among them, English tutoring books such as "TOEFL Core Vocabulary 21 Day Breakthrough" and "TOEFL Writing 6 Points Composition" have always been at the top of the sales list of similar books and are must-read books for most candidates taking overseas exams.
In 2013, Li Xiaolai donated the royalties from the book "Treat Time as a Friend" to Peking University and established the "Treat Time as a Friend" scholarship to encourage students to use time efficiently and learn throughout their lives. In the same year, he also raised funds for the Lushan earthquake, converted the collected Bitcoins into RMB, and donated them to the disaster-stricken areas.

He advocates logic, pursues in-depth thinking, has extraordinary learning ability, and is a person accustomed to action. He usually likes to share with others, and his blog posts are very meaningful and are loved by many netizens and readers.
At this point, you may think it has nothing to do with Bitcoin. Don’t worry, his resume is much more than that.

"Uncle Dong" Zhao Dong
People in the industry are used to calling him "Uncle Dong". Sometimes he also tries to make a fool of himself by calling himself Heizhuang Dong. He was originally the co-founder and CTO of Moji Weather. He quit the team in 2012 and sold his shares. With some spare money on hand, he spent 1 million to start speculating in coins and made a lot of money. After that, he started investing in mining, and it is said that he now owns at least more than 10,000 Bitcoins.
Uncle Dong is like a dragon on the Internet, and his videos and photos are rarely seen. The editor was very honored to see him in a salon during his trip to Chengdu.
Although he is already a big banker, he is very rational about Bitcoin investment. Zhao Dong's rationality lies in the fact that he used his idle funds to invest in Bitcoin. What he values is the long-term investment value of Bitcoin.
Uncle Dong focuses on OTC. In his heyday, his total OTC volume was almost as much as that of a medium-sized exchange. However, even such a successful person has made mistakes.
He once liquidated his position on BTC-E with 9,000 coins, but he did not fall because of this. In a speech, he talked about the issue of mentality: He values whether a person has fighting spirit and fighting ability. Liquidation is not terrible, as long as he is not completely dead, he can still make money back. He didn't run away! Instead, I decided to give it a try! Sell the mine! At the same time, he used his huge popularity in the currency circle to raise funds publicly in the name of "making a mining machine"! After collecting nearly three to five million, he entered the currency market again! With his keen sense of smell and god-like positioning, he was able to turn the tide in just one week, using spot prices to sell high and buy low and triple leverage to make up for all the losses!
In an interview with the media, Zhao Dong once suggested to retail investors:
"The long-term purpose of Bitcoin is to become a currency. But in the short term, it is still an experimental currency. Now we can use Bitcoin to pay, buy a cup of coffee, etc., but now it is still not a real currency. Currency in the sense. Since it is an experimental currency, there are naturally risks, so when you invest all your money and property in Bitcoin, it is actually a very risky thing.”
Bitcoin China founder Yang Linke
In 2009, the concept of Bitcoin was proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto. In 2011, Wenzhou businessman Yang Linke introduced the advanced ideas of Bitcoin to China and founded Bitcoin China that year. Bitcoin China is the first Bitcoin trading platform in China and the longest operating Bitcoin trading platform in the world so far.
If Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator of Bitcoin, then Yang Linke is the evangelist of Bitcoin in China. Satoshi Nakamoto created this digital asset world, and Yang Linke drove the great development of digital assets in China. The smartest businessmen in the world are Jews, and the smartest businessmen in China are Wenzhou people. Yang Linke and Alibaba founder Jack Ma are both Zhejiang businessmen.
Under the leadership of Yang Linke, Bitcoin China once exceeded 70% of the Chinese market share. At this time, Yang Linke made a major decision to hand over the company to professional managers to let Bitcoin China go global. Yang Linke has now moved from the stage to behind the scenes, disappearing into the noisy world of Bitcoin.
However, under the leadership of professional managers, Bitcoin China has taken a sharp turn and is drifting away from all of us. Whenever we all talk about buying Bitcoin for the first time, we always mention the familiar yet unfamiliar name of Bitcoin China.
Just recently, Yang Linke suddenly appeared in the Bitcoin world. Currently, Yang Linke has also started ICO crowdfunding. You can learn about his current situation and ICO dynamics through Yang Linke’s personal Weibo [@我是杨Linkke].

On September 1, 2013, Huobi.com was officially launched and positioned as the most professional Bitcoin trading platform in China. Generally, all platforms earn are transaction fees. But as soon as Huobi came online, Li Lin announced to the world that handling fees would be permanently waived. This move brought various shocks to the industry, and also caused the number of users of Huobi, a dark horse, to skyrocket as soon as it debuted. In 2014, the number of daily transactions on Huobi exceeded 200,000 bitcoins, and the single-day transaction amount exceeded 1 billion yuan. Occupying more than 50% of the global Bitcoin trading market, Huobi has become the Bitcoin trading platform with the largest transaction volume in the world. So far, Huobi.com’s cumulative transaction volume has exceeded 140 billion.
"By 2019, no matter what happens to Huobi at that time, I will let it go." Li Lin said, "Ten years of starting a business is enough, and I will not regret it in life. Jack Ma's ambitions are too great. In the next ten years, I want to experience other Life."
The success of the boss
It lies in unique vision and courage
And the currency circle
Rich people with successful investments
There are also poor people whose investments failed
Your fanaticism shouldn't just be based on the fantasy of getting rich overnight
