Guo Hongjie - Founder of Nakamoto University What mindset do we have when we join the blockchain industry? What has made us believe and persist for so long? To this day, does our original intention and what we desire still exist? If we had the chance to choose again, would we still make the same choice? As time flies to the present, the tide gradually recedes, and illusions slowly dissipate. We are gradually emerging from the revelry of yesterday's indulgence. Although we still have reluctance, confusion, and attachment, we will ultimately face reality - "What exactly is blockchain? What can blockchain do? How much value can blockchain bring? What does blockchain have to do with me?"

The Truth is Fragrant Law of Bitcoin: 13 Years of Counterattack All Dependent on Humanity's 'Cursing While Truly Fragrant'
"From 99% certainty it's a scam to 60% calling for daddy, every transaction you make is betting on the global table" Core setting → A large slap-in-the-face scene Imagine the whole village watching a mysterious person named Satoshi making inventions: 🔮 He set a flag : "My code system can replace banks! Total supply of 21 million will never exceed!" 👴 Villagers' reactions : Old Wang: "Fraud! Not worth as much as my pig!" (Prior belief: 99% failure) Aunt Li: "Is this a pyramid scheme?" (Prior belief: 95% failure) First slap in the face: The pizza incident 🍕
When code becomes prior probability, price is posterior belief
Ⅰ. The core framework of Bayesianism Belief = Prior Probability × New Evidence Human cognition is like a probability engine: Prior belief: Initial assumption based on historical experience Likelihood: The strength of support of new evidence for the hypothesis Posterior belief (Posterior):Revised cognition after evidence iteration The rise of Bitcoin is an epic practical application of this formula. Ⅱ. The prior belief of Bitcoin: The rebellious hypothesis of cypherpunks Initial prior probability (2009): P (Bitcoin succeeds) ≈ 0.001 Assumption foundation: math \small \text{Decentralized currency} = f(\text{Cryptography} + \text{Game Theory} + \text{Anti-authoritarianism})
The government doesn't recognize it, the bank doesn't care! Why is this thing worth $120,000?
Who prints Bitcoin? Does the central bank have control over it? answer: ❌ No one prints! No central bank! No government backing! It is like a "math game" spontaneously played by netizens around the world. The rules are all written in the code and no one can change them. How was Bitcoin “born”? Mining by "miners": It's not about carrying a hoe and digging the ground, but about using a computer to solve math problems (super difficult ones!). Whoever calculates correctly first can package the new transaction into a "block" and be rewarded with several new bitcoins (the current reward is about 3.125, which is halved every four years). This process is called mining, and the computer computing power is the "mining machine".

Transfer money without asking the bank, ask mathematics? This session of currency has become refined!
Today, let's talk about the most fundamental differences between Bitcoin and traditional money (RMB, US dollars) in "human language", as simple and clear as chatting 👇 🌍Difference 1: Who manages this money? Traditional currency (RMB/USD) : → There is a "big boss" in charge! For example, the People's Bank of China manages RMB, and the Federal Reserve manages USD. → The boss can print money if he wants, and if too much is issued, it may become "hair" (for example, pork prices have risen). → You pay with WeChat? In fact, the bank is keeping accounts behind the scenes! Bitcoin : → No boss!
