Is Bitcoin the most elegant scam in history, or a challenger to the existing capitalist framework? JoongAng Ilbo has given its own answer. JoongAng Ilbo has decided to establish a professional blockchain media "Join:D" with Bitmain, the world's largest cryptocurrency mining company. On the 17th, Zheng Jingmin, director of JoongAng Ilbo's digital business, said, "Currently, people are paying close attention to the blockchain industry and the cryptocurrency market, but it is difficult to find a real and reliable news channel." "It can be said that the information asymmetry in the market is very obvious, and fake news is flying everywhere, so we want to build a trustworthy platform." The name Join:D also includes the meaning of "participating in (join) the decentralization of the core value of blockchain (:D)", and JOIN is also the abbreviation of the Internet service of JoongAng Ilbo (JOIN, Joongang Internet), the parent company of the platform.

Bitmain participated in the construction of Join: D as a major investor. Bitmain co-founder Jihan Wu can be said to be a prominent figure in the field of encrypted digital currency, with many titles such as "King of Chinese Mining" and "Godfather of Bitcoin Cash".
To sign the cooperation agreement, the JoongAng Ilbo delegation visited Bitmain’s headquarters in Beijing. Wu Jihan told the JoongAng Ilbo staff that “in the past decade, with the development of blockchain technology, the financial industry has made great progress, and in the next decade, there will be many major innovations in the financial field.” “In order to promote the healthy development of the financial industry, the role of the media is very important, but it is a pity that there is no media that can play this role.” He also said, “Although the media platform we jointly established has just been established, if we can stick to the principles and provide investors with accurate information, then I believe that this media will not only contribute to the financial industry, but also make great contributions to the development of human civilization.”
HASHED, the only global blockchain accelerator in South Korea, also participated in the construction of this media platform as a strategic partner. HASHED can be said to be a true pioneer in the Korean cryptocurrency investment market. It has successfully completed the ICO of projects such as Icon and Mediblock, which can be said to be the most representative blockchain projects in South Korea. HASHED's president, Kim Seojun, said, "If the blockchain industry hopes to develop sustainably, the public's awareness of this field must also improve with the development of the industry and the market." He firmly believes that the Join:D platform will definitely contribute to the construction of a sound blockchain ecosystem.
The lack of borders is a major feature of blockchain and encrypted digital currency. Join:D's news reports will also cross borders and spread around the world. Join:D's main articles will be available in Chinese and English in addition to Korean. Currently, if you want to learn about relevant policies and market information in South Korea outside of South Korea, you can only learn about it through some translated articles on online blogs, but there are many mistranslations and wrong information. In the future, through the Join:D platform, foreign investors will also be able to quickly and easily learn about objective and detailed domestic information in South Korea.
At the same time, we are also working with Chinese media Caixin World to expand the media influence of our new platform in the Chinese-speaking region. Join:D President Choi Chun-jung said, "We will uphold our principles and build a media that readers can trust and provide valuable information to market participants." Join:D's mobile news reporting service will be launched first at the end of May, so stay tuned.
