The legendary poker player in the currency circle - Chang Chai.

Chang Chai, whose real name is Liu Zhipeng, graduated from China University of Geosciences and has won the "Galaxy Award", China's highest science fiction award, for three consecutive years. The founder of Bytom, the founder and CEO of Babbitt, a well-known science fiction writer, a blockchain theory researcher, and the proposer of the blockchain "Impossible Triangle" concept. He is also an early Bitcoin evangelist and the founder of the well-known domestic blockchain media - Babbitt and the well-known domestic public chain - Bytom.

Chang Chai was a science fiction author a long time ago. I have also read his books. He started writing when he was 16 years old. In 2004, he published the novel "A Man's Epitaph" for the first time in "Science Fiction World" under the pen name "Chang Chai". So far, he has published science fiction, The fantasy novel with more than 500,000 words won the "Galaxy Award", China's highest science fiction award, for three consecutive years in 2006, 2007 and 2008. The older generation of science fiction writers such as Wang Jinkang and Liu Cixin did not win so many awards at such a young age. Their representative works There are "Kunlun", "Route 674", "The Wound of Fuso", "The Art of the Dragon", and "If MacKay Is Still Alive".

Chang Chai actually came across Bitcoin when he was writing science fiction novels, and accidentally looked for materials. He noticed this product, because the science fiction novels he wrote contained a lot of unconstrained thinking, and he also wrote about the era of cloud computing in the novels, so He feels that Bitcoin is very relevant to his novel. Here, my friend Wu Jihan feels that he has read his novels and knows that in the era of computing, whoever has the highest computing power is the king, so Bitmain dominates the computing power.

In 2011, Wu Jihan was still working as an analyst and investment manager at a venture capital company. When he was studying in the Department of Finance at Peking University, Wu Jihan had thought about the issue of "decentralized currency". It wasn't until he read Satoshi Nakamoto's paper that he truly understood Bitcoin. He decided to translate this paper so that more Chinese people could understand it.

The Bitcoin white paper translated by Wu Jihan was published on the Babbitt website. Babbitt is an information website co-founded by Chang Chai and Wu Jihan in 2011. Their original intention is to popularize Bitcoin to Chinese people.

At that time, Chang Chai was still a civil servant in the Nanning Land and Resources Planning Institute. He had always been interested in building websites, so he and Wu Jihan pooled thousands of dollars to rent a server, and Babbitt was born.

The website was originally the prototype of a personal blog, which Chang Chai maintained in his spare time. In his impression, at first, only a dozen people in the domestic Bitcoin circle registered accounts on the website, and everyone worked together to translate some Bitcoin information and article. At the end of the article, leave the Bitcoin address and invite readers to tip the author. Chang Chai still remembers that the first bounty for the article was only a few tenths of a bitcoin. Later he found out that it was "sponsored" by Wu Jihan, one of the bloggers.

Now, Babbitt has not only received hundreds of millions of yuan in financing, but has also brought together many Bitcoin professionals, created and translated a large amount of materials and information in the field, and enjoys a high reputation in the currency circle.

The founder of Bytom is Changchai’s third identity, and it is also Changchai’s bet to realize his science fiction dream. After establishing Babbitt, Changchai wanted to realize his sci-fi dream and launched the BTM Bytom chain, with a maximum market value of 5 billion yuan. However, after a few years, Bytom has completely become a junk coin, and it has also become what people call Adouhara.

I believe many people know that Changchai was the one who gave his advice on investing in Bitcoin on Zhihu at the end of 2011, which attracted him many loyal fans in the currency circle and the chain circle.
