A well-known figure in the cryptocurrency world (Wu Jihan) was born in 1986 in Chongqing — China's youngest and most economically polarized municipality. In 2005, he was admitted to the School of Economics at Peking University from Nankai Middle School in Chongqing, majoring in a dual degree of psychology and economics. In 2011, having become an investment manager at an investment bank, Wu Jihan encountered Bitcoin for the first time, and these unknowns guided him to make a choice. That same year, he translated the Bitcoin white paper and co-founded 8btc with Chang Jia. He is thus referred to as the 'evangelist of Bitcoin' and a 'believer.' To this day, his translated version remains the most widely circulated. Welcome to the Bitcoin network. Here lies a financial free port, a tax-free trade zone, and an anarchist paradise on the internet. In November 2012, he wrote the following text on Weibo. In 2013, Wu Jihan quit his job at the investment bank and embarked on the path of mining. Also in 2013, one day, he unexpectedly met Zhan Ketuan, who is ten years older than him and a co-founder of Bitmain, on the street. At the end of 2013, Bitmain's first mining chip, BM1380, was launched. In just a few years, with a product system integrating mining machines, mining farms, and mining pools, Bitmain established an almost unshakeable monopoly in the mining circle. In the blockchain world where computing power determines everything, he created the wealth myth for a generation of miners, and Wu Jihan was jokingly called the 'mining overlord.' In 2016, Bitcoin's scaling became the consensus of almost all miners, including Wu Jihan and his Bitmain. At the Hong Kong Consensus Conference in February 2016, the mining group he represented agreed to continue supporting the Core development team in establishing a separate 'Lightning Network' to handle small transactions. Several Core development team members also indicated that in the future, Bitcoin would expand from 1M to 2M. On August 1, 2017, BCH forked from Bitcoin at block height 478559, pioneering the way for Bitcoin forks. The year 2017 was one of fame and fortune for Wu Jihan. Yang Zuoxing rose to prominence: In August 2018, Yang Zuoxing launched the Shennma mining machine M10, which significantly outperformed Bitmain's flagship Antminer S9. In 2019, Yang Zuoxing's Antminer quickly ate into the market share of Antminer, once occupying 40% of the market and causing Bitmain to fall from its pedestal as the mining machine giant. This was a struggle with no winners, and ultimately the two reached a settlement. On January 26, 2021, Wu Jihan left Bitmain, which he had co-founded, taking with him Bitdeer, the mining pool, and Bitmain's overseas mining sites. The final evaluation of Wu Jihan:

Visionary, which is why he recognized the potential of Bitcoin as early as 2011.

Bold, which is why he was able to gamble everything to support the development of the 'Kuyou' mining machine.

Cunning, initiating the hard fork of Bitcoin, establishing his strong influence in the crypto circle.#加密市场回调 #币安Alpha上新 $BTC $ETH
