Professionalism and focus, win-win cooperation Written at the beginning: The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will keep exploring! The Filecoin project is a long and arduous journey that requires every participant to have enough patience and companionship, and more importantly, to grow with it. For those who want to get rich overnight, Filecoin may not be the best choice, because no matter from the perspective of project design or commercial application, the wealth return of Filecoin will not be fast, but this still cannot affect Filecoin's future super value and huge market. Next, I will tell you from three aspects why Filecoin is a game for long-termists. Long-term route 1: Filecoin commercial application Although the concepts of IPFS and Filecoin were proposed in 2014, six years ago, IPFS technology has been used by at least 50 institutions or projects, such as ETH, DOT, and imtoken, etc. However, there is still some distance before IPFS can be commercially implemented on a large scale. The speed of its implementation depends on the speed and depth of Filecoin applications and the speed of global Internet development. If we only use Filecoin's commercial application as the anchor speed, or simply take the circulation of Fil as an example, then it will take at least one year, because the daily release of Fil is constant, and its release is largely determined by storage server manufacturers. Moreover, the market does not know much about IPFS technology and Filecoin. Only a small number of practitioners in the blockchain industry are relatively familiar with them. It takes time to penetrate or educate the market. Of course, in addition to their own efforts, the national and local governments are actually very supportive of the implementation of distributed storage technology, because economic development and new infrastructure require it to accelerate. Therefore, from a commercial perspective , Filecoin still has a long way to go. Those who want to use it to gain huge wealth in the short term may not be able to resist. It is still a game for long-termists. Long-termism route 2: Filecoin token mining Although Filecoin will be released by some early fundraisers or institutions, the greater release will come from manufacturers. The current Filecoin release mechanism and pledge mechanism lead to low mining efficiency in the entire market. For example, there are 10 horse teams transporting grain in the market, and each has 50-100 horses. Transporting grain requires horses and carts, but there are not enough matching vehicles, so many horses can only wait in vain. The situation faced by manufacturers now is that there are horses but no carts. This car is an asset, that is, the pledged Fil. So what should manufacturers or participants do? The official Filecoin pledge and release mechanisms will not change much, and Fil lending services can be implemented on the Coinlist platform, so the choice of manufacturers is to continue to accumulate Fil and gradually fill up the equipment capacity, but it will take some time. Participants can either wait for accumulation or choose to pledge Fil themselves. This situation is mainly determined by the official design mechanism. From the circulation mechanism , the official has designed a long-term route, and this process is just the process of survival of the fittest, just as IPFS and Filecoin have been around for 6 years, which is rare in the history of blockchain projects. Slow work produces fine work, and haste makes waste. So from the perspective of token mining, Filecoin's road is still long, and the more anxious you are, the more you lose. Long-termism route 3: Fileocin extraction and monetization Many participants want to realize wealth growth immediately by mining Fil tokens, which depends on two factors. The first factor is how much Fil the participants have. According to the current mining situation and release mechanism, this amount will be very small. The second factor is the price of Fil. In the short term, a high price is actually not conducive to the development of the project. Selecting a storage server to mine and obtain tokens is not a short-term cash-out method. It is a process of accumulation and waiting over a period of time, and then selling them at a price that you think is reasonable at some point in the future. This is like buying a hen and wanting to make a profit by having the hen lay eggs and then selling the eggs. However, it takes time for a hen to grow, and the frequency and weight of eggs laid are also gradual, so you have to buy more hens and give them some good feed, and then wait for the hens to grow. The more you pursue quick and easy gains, the more futile it is. There is a Chinese saying that goes "accumulate a lot and then release a little" . Since you have already entered the game, just wait on the stage and don't get out. Maybe you will say, what should we ordinary retail players do? If you have already joined the market, congratulations, you are already on a high-speed train, but the train is just starting very slowly. All you have to do is wait on the train, calm down, and look back three years from now. You will think you made a wise choice. Moreover, it is not just other players who are moving forward with you, but also the entire industry. If you look closely at successful companies or individuals, or those who have achieved the highest achievements in certain fields, they are all long-termists or delayed gratificationists. The same is true for Filecoin. Filecoin is a game for delayed gratificationists because they focus on "value" rather than "price". The real value lies in the storage of real data in the future. This is the meaning of the existence of IPFS and Filecoin. |
