Zhang Lihongren said | Dialogue with Ge Yuesheng: Loosening liquidity is good for the price of coins, and a bull market may indeed be coming

According to BlockBeats, on the evening of February 14, Zhang Li held a 2.14 special "Zhang Li Celebrity Says" AMA event in the community. The theme of this online sharing was "Dialogue with Ge Yuesheng: Blockchain Finance at the Turning Point". The guest of this issue was Matrixport CEO Ge Yuesheng, who is also a professional investor.
1. Friendship with Wu Jihan "You can be regarded as the earliest angel investor of Bitmain. How did you meet Mr. Wu and why were you willing to invest in Mr. Wu and even join him at such an early stage?"
Facing the gossip of group members, Ge Yuesheng said, "I met Wu Jihan when I was interning at a financial institution in 2012 and became his intern. I learned about Bitcoin and mining from Wu Jihan. As for why I invested in Bitmain, it was because we mined together at the time, and we both contributed money to Bitmain later."
Second, loosening monetary policy is good for the price of coins, and a bull market may indeed be coming. Ge Yuesheng believes that loose economic policies are usually good for risky assets, especially loose monetary policy to ease economic pressure. In the eyes of many professional investment institutions, Bitcoin has the dual attributes of risky assets and safe-haven assets, so "I think loose monetary policy is good for the price of coins."

Ge Yuesheng also said, "I think it is too early to say that the bull market has arrived. At least it has to exceed the high point of the previous small cycle. But it is indeed possible that it is coming."
3. BCH or BTC, that's not a question
In response to a question from a netizen, "Wu Jihan positioned BCH as payment. Compared with BTC, which one is more important in the Bitmain and Matrixport landscape?" Ge Yuesheng said that we do not make a choice between BCH and BTC. Matrixport currently supports both currencies.
4. The similarities between Bitcoin and Moutai When answering a question from a Weibo netizen about "the similarities and differences between investing in Bitcoin and Kweichow Moutai", Ge Yuesheng said that he had not studied Moutai stocks, but personally felt that the similarity was that both helped investors make a lot of money.
5. I used to be afraid to tell my profession for fear of being mistaken for a "pyramid schemer"
Ge Yuesheng believes that the blockchain industry is currently in its early stages, but has been recognized by people. "I entered the industry in 2012, and for a long time I didn't tell my friends what I was doing, for fear that they would think I was deceived by a pyramid scheme and come to rescue me." At this stage, I think cryptocurrency has been recognized by mainstream society. I have read market research before, and 10% of Americans have bought cryptocurrency, which is very telling.

6. Bitmain and Matrixport: Just like Alibaba and Alipay Ge Yuesheng said that Bitmain and Matrixport are two independent companies and two different brands. If we make an analogy, it is more like the relationship between Alibaba and Alipay.
7. About Matrixport
1. Data: Matrixport currently has more than one hundred employees. In less than one year, it has accumulated more than $500 million in digital asset custody, generated $500 million in spot trading volume, and created a $100 million loan balance.
2. Business: There are three business lines: lending, financial management and trading, but it is not considered diversified operation, just like selling home appliances, including refrigerators and air conditioners.
3. Positioning: Customer-centric, providing one-stop financial services. Ge Yuesheng said that the core competitiveness of the financial industry lies in brand and customer relationship, and a rich product portfolio can be more conducive to the establishment of this core competitiveness.
8. Compliance Ge Yuesheng said that Matrixport is headquartered in Singapore and has a subsidiary and office in Switzerland, because these two countries are friendly to blockchain and are also regional financial centers. Switzerland was chosen mainly because of compliance. Compliance is not just about issuing licenses to allow business, but more importantly, whether the company is trustworthy. Customers will have more trust in companies that have obtained Swiss licenses.
