Key Insights from the Interview
1. Explaining Blockchain to Newcomers
When asked how he’d describe blockchain to a novice, Super Jun avoids jargon. Instead, he draws parallels to historical systems:
- Bitcoin as "Digital Labor Credits": He likens Bitcoin to "工分" (workpoints) in China’s collectivist era, where labor was quantified but couldn’t be freely traded. Bitcoin’s innovation lies in enabling peer-to-peer value transfer within a fixed supply framework.
- Blockchain as a "Value Network": Contrasting the internet’s "information network," blockchain facilitates the high-speed exchange of value. Early stages focused on currency and equity; future phases (e.g., smart contracts, decentralized apps) will expand to物权 (property rights) and copyright management.
