Liu Zhipeng, whose real name is Liu Zhipeng, is from Hunan and was born in May 1984. He is not only a Chinese science fiction writer but also has made great contributions to the blockchain field. In the field of science fiction literature, he is an outstanding writer, famous for his pen name "Changchai"; and in the field of blockchain, he is a staunch evangelist and the founder of Babbitt. This is a story about his life and career, a legendary journey that combines literature and technology.
Early life and science fiction dreams
Liu Zhipeng was born in Hunan in May 1984 into an ordinary family. However, his life trajectory was destined to be ordinary at a young age. He has had a keen interest in the world of science fiction since he was a child. As he grew up, science fiction literature became his spiritual sustenance and inspired his curiosity about the unknown world.
Despite living in a geographically remote place, Liu Zhipeng's dream was not imprisoned after all. When he was only 16 years old, he bravely embarked on the journey of science fiction creation. His debut novel "Compassion with Myself" was published in "Science Fiction King" magazine in 2000, marking the beginning of his career as a science fiction writer.
The pen name "Chang Chai" comes from a poem in Chu Ci, "Lu Lixi is wearing a long chai, and Cui Wei is wearing a crown that cuts through the clouds." This name is full of literary and fantasy charm, just like Liu Zhipeng's works, full of science fiction whims.
The brilliance of science fiction literature
Chang Chai quickly emerged in the field of science fiction literature. His works cover a wide range of topics, but focus on the history of computers and technology. He is known for his varied writing style and high amount of scientific information. His writing is passionate and deeply loved by young readers. From 2006 to 2008, he won the "Galaxy Award", the highest award for Chinese science fiction literature, for three consecutive years with his novels such as "Kunlun" and "The Wound of Fusang".
These honors have made him an outstanding representative of Chinese science fiction literature. Like Hugo Award winner Liu Cixin, Chang Chai is also a frequent recipient of the Galaxy Award. However, the life trajectory of this promising science fiction writer is destined to undergo a major change.
The fantasy world of blockchain
In 2010, after graduating with a postgraduate degree, Liu Zhipeng entered the Institute of Land and Resources Planning of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and became an engineer. Although his work only exists in the field of geology, his heart still lingers in the world of science fiction. In the process of searching for information for a new work, he came into contact with Bitcoin for the first time.
The emergence of Bitcoin aroused his strong interest. This digital currency turned his fantasy concept into reality and made him feel that "the future is already here." Liu Zhipeng did not hesitate to become a fanatical believer and evangelist of Bitcoin. He even spent an entire year’s salary buying Bitcoin and then actively recommended it to others on various occasions.
This is the famous "6,000 yuan investment advice". This advice is spread inside and outside the Bitcoin community, allowing more people to understand this emerging digital currency.
Babbitt's creation
In 2011, Liu Zhipeng took even bolder measures. He founded Babbitt, one of the earliest websites introducing blockchain in China. Liu Zhipeng collaborated with Wu Jihan of Bitmain to popularize Bitcoin and blockchain technology to the Chinese public.
He had a clear idea when he started his business: "I have been waiting for a big trend like the Internet, but the trend does not mean following the trend, because the trend is made by people, not by following the trend. Don't follow the trend. To become the wind..."
Liu Zhipeng is not a trend chaser, but a person who hopes to participate in creating trends. He firmly believes that Bitcoin and blockchain technology are the trend of the future and not just objects of hype.
Long-lasting tenacity
However, the road to entrepreneurship is not always smooth. In 2011, when Liu Zhipeng invested all his savings in Bitcoin, the price of the currency was at a stage high of $35. Then within half a year, the price of Bitcoin plummeted to $2, speculators from all walks of life panicked and lost control, and the media also publicized the collapse of Bitcoin.
All this did not shake Liu Zhipeng's faith and determination. He firmly believed: "What others see as a black swan, in my eyes is an opportunity with a high probability of success." He continued to translate information from English websites, publish articles, and recommend Bitcoin to different people.
In the process, he received a donation from a netizen. A netizen named QQAgent left a message: "Blogger, I think your site is very good. Why don't you apply for an independent domain name and space? I donated your address and 0.168 BTC."
This generous netizen is none other than Wu Jihan, CEO of Bitmain, the world’s largest mining machine company in the future. This chance encounter became Liu Zhipeng’s important partner in the blockchain field.
The Rise of Babbitt
Babbitt is an information website co-founded by Chang Chai and Wu Jihan in 2011. Their original intention is to popularize Bitcoin and blockchain technology to the Chinese people. However, at the beginning of his business, Babbitt faced the problem of monetizing the "information website". Especially between 2013 and 2017, Bitcoin experienced two rounds of skyrocketing and plummeting. During this period, many blockchain media had to transform or close down, and even some of Babbitt’s partners chose to leave.
In early 2015, MT.Gox announced that its servers were hacked and nearly 850,000 Bitcoins were stolen, causing the price of Bitcoin to drop directly from US$266 to US$45, which also triggered the second cold winter of Bitcoin. When some friends suggested that Liu Zhipeng switch careers to Internet finance or lending business, he stuck to Babbitt and continued to work hard to find breakthrough points on projects with no short-term returns, even if he was unable to pay wages for a time.
However, the initial 2 million yuan in financing only supported Babbitt. By September 2016, Babbitt was in trouble. Until the arrival of tens of millions of Pre-A rounds of financing from investors such as Qifu Capital, Innovation Valley, and Plum Angel, Babbitt finally It has become the largest Chinese blockchain community in the world.
The rise of Bytom
In 2017, Liu Zhipeng set out to create the Bytom project. This project is based on "computing power is power", emphasizing the core principles of blockchain. Although the launch of Bytom’s trading platform was delayed due to the “94 Incident”, years of hard work finally paid off.
Bytom has been very popular since its launch, and 5,900 BTC were raised on the day of crowdfunding. In April 2018, the Antminer B3 for mining BTM went on sale on time, and all 2,500 mining machines priced at 17,000 yuan were sold out in just one second.
When talking about the value of Bytom, Liu Zhipeng said bluntly: "Cherish every Bytom you have and keep it for 5 years!" This firm belief and long-term vision are what motivates him to keep moving forward.
