Unconsciously, the 2023 Hong Kong Web3 Carnival is coming to an end. This gathering of elites has sparked a colorful spark of thought. Whether it is industry leaders, Web3 practitioners, or even ordinary citizens, they have truly felt this lively week and told their exclusive memories of Hong Kong Web3 in their own words. Foresight News has collected and sorted out some of them to help you understand, record and feel this historical moment that belongs to Hong Kong and Web3.

1. 68-year-old taxi driver: Will die at 90, never retire, and always enjoy work.

2. WhiteForest, co-founder of Foresight Ventures: I believe in the rise of Eastern power in the next cycle. Foresight will establish an infrastructure for talent training and entrepreneurship acceleration in Hong Kong to help more local projects go overseas and help more overseas projects land.

3. Hong Kong Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po: Web3 has great potential and is an irreversible future trend.

4. Xiao Feng: Tell the story of Hong Kong Web3 well! Do a good job in Hong Kong Web3 business!

5. Yu Wenshuai, founder of Foresight News: Now that you have decided to set out, you must move forward courageously.

6. Changpeng Zhao: There are some very interesting experiments now, such as NFT, Bitcoin and other blockchain and cryptocurrency payments. Ultimately, we still have to solve the wallet problem. Today's wallets are not easy to use. I think this is the biggest obstacle to the adoption of cryptocurrency.

7. Chess, founder of HogwartsLabs: Give Ponzi to time, not time to Ponzi.

8. Karen, researcher at Foresight News: You don’t have to HODL in Web3, but you need to keep learning and actively try.

9. OKX President Hong: There will be no central node in the future, but every individual will take responsibility, have ownership, subject rights, and will also gain freedom.

10. Hong Kong Legislative Council member Qiu Dagen: Legal updates, industry supervision, investor protection and corporate governance are the next steps for Hong Kong to invest in Web3 in an orderly and compliant manner.

11. Patrick Lau, Hong Kong Trade Development Council: Web3 is full of imagination. Its multiples may not be ten or twelve times, but one hundred times, or even infinitely many.

12. Bitget Managing Director Gracy Chen: Long Hong Kong has become a new consensus among "Crypto Jews". We are looking forward to what new opportunities the two-way movement between Hong Kong and Web3 can bring to the Crypto industry.

13. Xiao Xuan, Wanxiang Blockchain Market Manager and Web3 Carnival Working Group Executive Leader: The development of the Web3 industry requires creativity and guides, but most of the work may be boring and invisible. It requires patience and execution to check all the details of 36 events in four days late at night. The persistence of the pavement workers in tamping every stone may also be an important moment that can determine the future of Web3.

14. Kong Jianping, founder of NanoLabs: I believe Hong Kong can lead the global Web3 financial and technology industries.

15. Justin Sun: Hong Kong’s Web3 policy is ready to go. Backed by a vast market, it will surely become the next growth engine for the Asian economy.

16. Head of InvestHK’s financial technology department: Make Hong Kong the world’s most powerful Web3 Hub.

17. Wanxiang Blockchain Du Yu: In the era of digital economy, everything can be digitized, and blockchain is the infrastructure of this digitization.

18. Li Ming, Chairman of IEEE BDL: Standardization is an industry and the cornerstone of human development. It can drive an industry from chaos to gradual innovation and then to further iterative development.

19. Bitget Business Manager's rolling aunt: The vast ocean laughs, and the tide surges on both sides. We all met under the Lion Rock. The Chinese Web3 is bound to be bumpy, but we are in the same boat and we should help each other.

20. Adrian Lai, founder of Newman Capital: Hong Kong will become the transshipment port of Web3, backed by the vast resources of the motherland and connected to the international market.

21. Lennix Lai, Managing Director of OKX Global Institutional Business Department: Web3 is a combination of technology and finance. Hong Kong has sufficient foundation to become a world-class virtual asset center.

22. Leo LIN, founder of arkreen: DePIN will become one of the very important trends in the next cycle, relying on Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area as a carrier to tell the story of Hong Kong well.

23. Chen Xu, founder of MetaZ Think Tank: Decentralized infrastructure construction hopes to use a decentralized infrastructure network to bring the next generation of the Internet to the world, but the first thing to face is the centralized empathy politics, rather than the foundation of decentralized consensus technology.

24. Du Jun, CEO and executive director of Xinhuo Technology: Crypto is heading towards 1 billion users.

25. Dovey Wan: CeDeFi will be a mixture, especially for ordinary users. We have to admit that banks are still very powerful. In the future, a combination of the two is needed to attract more users.

26. Avalanche by Neal Stephenson: no one comes to metaverse for meetings.

27. Highly qualified blue-collar workers: Hong Kong is to the Chinese in the Crypto community what Canaan is to the Jews.

28. Hope founder Yang Zhou: If you don't remonstrate with the past, you can catch up with the future. If you don't return to the lost path, today is not the same as yesterday. When I say that the world is sober, you have to answer me that your heart is bright.

29. Sota Watanabe, founder of Astar: I believe that 2023 and 2024 will be the era of Web3 in Asia. Let us use Web3 to set off the wave of the era.

30. Xiao Erduo: I hosted nearly 10 shows in five days, gained 20,000 followers, and my WeChat account was paralyzed with adding people. I love Hong Kong, which is full of Web3 vitality!

31. LTP founder Jack Yang: What we need is not a "Hong Kong concept coin", but a regulatory policy that can be implemented to promote the healthy development of the industry.

32. Wu Ming, co-founder of Conflux: Hong Kong will surely find a unique path for the compliance development of Web3 and provide a healthy growth soil for the future value of Web3.

33. Yang Linyuan: The happiest thing these two days was the reunion with old friends. The words I said the most were "Oh, there's WeChat, it turns out it's you". I'm grateful that Hong Kong has opened a window for us to see the outside world, so that we can run our business in peace on our own land, and grow up...

34. Sima Qingshan, head of Metaone blockchain: Half of my friends are in Hong Kong. The bustle of Hong Kong is like the "3 o'clock" in the past. Six years have passed in a blink of an eye. These six years are a reincarnation, a beginning and an end. It marks the localization exploration of blockchain in China, like a river finally flowing into the sea, stepping over blockchain and heading towards crypto! Web3 is a rare opportunity that Hong Kong must seize. If missed, Hong Kong's international financial status will gradually decline. I hope that in a few years, Hong Kong can become the world's "crypto port".

35. Liu Ren, founder of DoNews: Web3 and ChatGPT, one is the production relationship, the other is the productivity, two-wheel drive, accelerating each other, speeding up rapidly, sit tight and hold on.

36. Serena, Vice President of Marketing at Antalpha: The charm of Hong Kong is like a scumbag, he won't promise you long-term love. But he is coquettish and interesting, knowledgeable and down-to-earth, eating Michelin starred fish ball noodles with a bite, and he makes you willing to get high.

37. Souffl3 Co-Founddmr Daniel: May what you ask for be granted; may you have no regrets - after all, the good thing about our time is that we have more than one Hong Kong and more than one chance.

38. UXUY Co-Founder Jordan: I attended the Foresight investor dinner and looked at the table roster. I was the only one who wanted money, and the other 9 people were all investors. They said that the normal ratio of entrepreneurs to investors in Hong Kong is 1:9. This is the paradise for entrepreneurs.

39. Daisy Zhang, founder of JDK Capital: Bitcoin mining is a global leader in sustainable development.

40. Zicen: In the past two years, the industry has encountered unprecedented extreme suppression. The Chinese have suffered too much, but they are still alive despite the suppression. Hong Kong has torn a hole, so be prepared to welcome the huge waves.

41. Zhao Chen, Director of Web3 Jews: I heard that he opened a new wallet, I heard that he had a photo with Brother Sun, I heard that he followed Liang Xi’s Twitter, and I heard that he is also located in Hong Kong. Congratulations to everyone, you are all builders.

42. Naodongdak.AI Founder Xu Zhihong: Hong Kong is the Testnet for the whole of Asia. We are looking for Faucet here. The key is that there is really water here.

43. Jiang Changjian: A brave practice of the Chinese community driving a new round of technology to trigger a new wave of economy. Before each broadening, perhaps there is a period of depth. Although it is inevitable to encounter various talents and mud and sand, as long as you believe that there is light ahead, make bold assumptions, carefully verify, and remove the dross and retain the essence, you can embark on a new economic development path beyond imagination.

44. Adam Song, co-founder of SharkTeam: Web3 security is pragmatism and systematic engineering. Only by keeping the original intention in mind can we achieve our goal.

45. Si Linwei, head of Web3 at Interface News: The vision of Web3 is to transform the production relations of human society, and Hong Kong has provided a huge pump for this paradigm revolution.

46. ​​Super Jun: I have squandered my annual arrogance in Hong Kong, and now I am back to Shenzhen to work diligently and steadily. I hope that the TVL of the Hong Kong main chain will get higher and higher, with more and more projects and more opportunities for arbitrageurs. By the way, it would be even better if the gas cost of Shenzhen cross-chain is lower.

47. Dai Yue: The curse of falling every time there is a meeting has been broken! The mysterious Eastern power has risen. The collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Credit Suisse Bank has made Hong Kong return to the financial center!

48. Wu Jianzhi: This week was very lively. But compared to last year's sg 2049, we cannot draw a conclusion about the international status of Chinese people now. Friends still feel that, from the perspective of language communication alone, at least 40% of the main venue of Token 2049 needs to use English. There is not such a high frequency of English at Web3 Festival. This at least shows that this week is not as fierce as 2049, and the power of Chinese people has just started, or the whole world is speaking Chinese.

49. Arcane Group Partner Evans: I hope Hong Kong will become a hotbed for the development of Web3 in Asia and lead the next generation of digital entertainment innovation.

50. Ran Yi, co-founder of Orderly Network: We look forward to the huge opportunities brought about by the intersection of the global financial circle and Web3, which will usher in a new era of financial technology.
