In recent days, the bigwigs in the circle have been in the spotlight.
First, an article exposing the "cryptocurrency market maker" titled "Market Maker Du Jun" caused an uproar.
It is reported online that Du Jun, a shareholder of Huobi.com who holds multiple identities, the founder of Golden Finance which has just received tens of millions of yuan in financing, and the founder of Node Capital, have been restricted from leaving the country because they are suspected of developing "air coins."
However, Boss Du immediately responded and firmly denied it: "Not only am I not a banker, I'm also a cute baby."
Well, you are rich and you are right.
Afterwards, Xu Mingxing of OKex made his presence felt again with his desire to survive that was comparable to that of the ancient times.
He presented his treasure abruptly two days ago, saying that he would hand it over to the country at any time. Today, Xu Mingxing, the big boss who likes to add drama to himself, spoke again.
This time he posted on WeChat Moments:
The word “decentralized” is a major misunderstanding in the translation of the blockchain industry, and it is called for to be translated into “peer-to-peer”.
For any blockchain application, the rule maker is the fundamental center.
If the country applies blockchain, it will get rid of inefficient and opaque small centers and better maintain the big center of the Party and the country!
Boss Xu’s loyalty is evident to all, 666. It is true that political awareness determines the overall situation, and his sense of smell is very sharp.
But speaking of OKEx, there happened to be a piece of news today that I can gossip about with you all.
A foreign author claimed on Medium that he concluded through public data analysis that 93% of the transactions in OKex, an exchange with a large global trading volume, are fake transactions.
The author also claimed that Huobi, Binance, Lbank and others all had certain trading volume fraud behaviors.
I believe you all know whether these trading platforms that firmly occupy the top of the ecological chain are fake or not.

As celebrities in the circle, big guys like Du Jun and Xu Mingxing are often teased by everyone, not only because they jokingly call themselves "babies" or something like that.
Recently, a set of comic playing cards designed based on famous domestic blockchain figures has been circulating in the circle.
Since the blockchain became popular, more and more people have become interested in it. More and more people also want to know who are the important people in this mysterious circle.
Everyone must know names like Satoshi Nakamoto and Vitalik Buterin. Their status here is like that of Jack Ma in the online shopping industry.
However, looking back at Bitcoin’s nine-year history, many people have played a significant role in its creation.
For example, the founders of famous blockchain projects include Shuai Chu, Huang Minqiang, Da Hongfei, etc.; also include early Bitcoin investors and opinion leaders, such as Li Xiaolai and Guo Hongcai, etc.
It even includes some cartoon characters and grassroots internet celebrities that cryptocurrency speculators use to make fun of, such as "Che Guevara."
It can be said to be a true record of the people in China's blockchain circle, introducing you to the influential figures in the circle.
Some of them used to be ordinary people in life, just like you.
However, when blockchain and digital currency first appeared, these people seized the opportunity, successfully transformed themselves, and became bigwigs in the blockchain and digital currency circles, raising themselves to a higher level by 108 levels.

However, after making the list, I felt that I had missed a very important person - the FriedCat who had also made contributions to China's Bitcoin.
FriedCat is an indispensable figure in the history of Bitcoin. He was the first to bring mining machines to China, and then mysteriously disappeared. Although he is no longer in the world, his legend is everywhere.
Talking about him always makes people sigh. This is not only a private tragedy of the disappearance of a big shot in the cryptocurrency circle, but also the biggest mystery in the history of the cryptocurrency circle.
After all, during the glorious period of FC’s life, many of today’s big names in the cryptocurrency world were lining up to meet him.
I wonder how many of you guys know the people in this poker game?
