在币圈,诞生于2013年的狗狗币(Dogecoin),或许是“社区治理”的最佳案例。
In the currency circle, the Dogecoin, born in 2013, is perhaps the best example of & ldquao; community governance & rdquao.
它诞生于一句玩笑,因表情包迅速走红,又凭借小费、慈善、打赏与草根文化等关键词存留至今。
It was born as a joke, as it was quickly redened by its emoticons, and it has been left to this day with the key words of tipping, charity, reward and grass-roots culture.
狗狗币的创始人,在四年前就宣布退出币圈。但因为强大的社区力量,狗狗币穿越牛熊,成为了早期数字货币为数不多的幸存者之一。直至今日,它仍有大批粉丝支持。
The founders announced their withdrawal four years ago. But, because of the powerful community forces, the doggies passed through the cattle and bear, they became one of the few survivors of the early digital currency. To this day, it still has a lot of fans to support it.
看上去,它把“去中心化”发挥得淋漓尽致。但与此同时,它的受人操控、前景不明等问题,也开始让人反思社区治理模式的弊端。
It looks like it's & ldquao; decentralizing & & rdquao; it's doing all it can. But at the same time, it's being manipulated, it's uncertain, it's starting to reflect on the ills of the community governance model.
01 诞生
01 Born/strong>
2019年4月,狗狗币创始人杰克逊·帕尔默(Jackson Palmer)清空了自己的Twitter账户与YouTube视频,就此消失在网络世界。
In April 2019, Jackson & Middot, founder of the dog money; Jackson Palmer emptied his Twitter account and YouTube videos and disappeared in the online world.
他的离开早有预兆。在“消失”两周前,他声称自己遇到了太多冒充者招摇撞骗,他认为这些人对他充满敌意,而他却无暇处理。
He left early. At & ldquo; disappearing & & rdquo; two weeks ago, he claimed to have met too many imposters who, in his view, were hostile to him while he had no time to deal with it.
不过,市场并没有对他的“消失”给出多少反馈。
However, the market did not give much feedback to him & ldquao; disappearing & rdquao;
而在四年前,帕尔默也曾宣布退出币圈。那时,他曾感慨狗狗币社区的生态“有毒”,而自己不想再参与其中。
And four years ago, Palmer announced his exit from the currency. At that time, he was impressed by the ecology of the doggy community & ldquao; toxic & rdquao; and he did not want to be involved anymore.
当年,有国内投资者感慨,狗狗币即将归零。然而,令人意料之外的是,狗狗币的币价在此后两月甚至翻番。
In that year, domestic investors felt that the dog's currency was about to be zero. However, unexpectedly, the price of the dog's currency had even doubled in the following two months.
如今,四年时间过去,狗狗币不仅没有消亡,反而成为了早期数字货币中,除比特币、莱特币之外唯一的幸存者。
Today, four years have passed, and instead of dying, it has become the only survivor of the early digital currency, with the exception of Bitcoin and Lightcoin.
作为一个诞生于2013年的数字货币,狗狗币在整个币圈一直是独树一帜的存在。
As a digital currency born in 2013, the doggie currency has been unique throughout the currency circle.
无技术亮点、无强势背书、无应用落地,在币圈,有人戏称其是“三无产品”。也有人将其视作典型的“空气币”。
No technical bright spots, no powerful endorsements, no application landings, in the currency circles, they are called &ldquao; no product & rdquao; and they are also regarded as typical & & ldquao; air currency & rdquao;
而狗狗币的诞生,更是充满了喜剧色彩——它来自于其创始人的一个玩笑。
And the dog price was born with comedy colours & mdash; & mdash; it came from a joke by its founders.
2013年,日本柴犬“かぼす”的一张图片在网络上走红。网友们将其称作Doge,并以此制作了无数的表情包。
In 2013, a photo of a Japanese wooddog & ldquo; rdquo; redred on the Internet. Net users called it Doge, and made countless emoticons.
也正是在这一年,比特币进入牛市,数字货币开始被很多人关注。
It was also that year that Bitcoin entered the cattle market and the digital currency began to receive much attention.
“是时候做一个新的数字货币——Dogecoin了。”12月,面对比特币与Doge的火爆,Adobe澳大利亚市场营销员工帕尔默在Twitter上调侃道。
& ldquo; it's time to make a new digital currency — — Dogecoin. ” December, Adobe Australian marketing employee Palmer stunned on Twitter in the face of Bitcoin and Doge.
这句玩笑话,居然获得了许多网友的支持。很快,帕尔默注册了Dogecoin.com的域名,并P出了一张印有Doge表情的金币图片。
It's a joke, and it's supported by a lot of friends. Soon, Palmer registered Dogecoin.com's domain name and P produced a picture of Doge's face in gold.
比利·马库斯(Billy Markus)是最早关注到狗狗币的人之一。这位美国程序员一直想设计一种新的数字货币,而狗狗币有趣的设计给了他灵感,他成为了狗狗币的第一位开发者。
Billy & Middot; Billy Markus was one of the first people to focus on dog money. The American programmer always wanted to design a new digital currency, and the funny design of dog money inspired him, and he became the first developer of dog money.
在他的帮助下,狗狗币由玩笑变成了现实。一个充满喜剧色彩又自带流量的数字货币自此诞生。
With his help, the puppies were turned from a joke to a reality. A digital currency full of comedy colours and self-flowing flows was born.
但在技术层面,狗狗币的设计并不出彩。它几乎没有任何技术创新与亮点,就连挖矿算法,也使用了莱特币的成熟方案——Scrypt算法。
But at the technical level, the doggie coin is not a good design. It has few technological innovations and bright spots, and even digs mine algorithms and uses the Leitco maturity formula & mdash; & mdash; Scrypt algorithms.
挖矿行业进入ASIC时代后,狗狗币则引入了“混合挖矿”机制,绑定莱特币算力——莱特币矿工们在挖矿时,只要同时打包一段代码,就可获得狗狗币。这保障了狗狗币的网络安全,但也彻底丧失了狗狗币挖矿的独立自主性。
When the mining industry entered the ASIC era, &ldquo was introduced; mixed mining & rdquao; mechanisms to bind the & mdash; & mdash; & & mdash; Letco miners, when digging, can get dogbills as long as a code is packed at the same time. This guarantees the network security of dogbi, but it also completely loses its autonomy to mine.
2013年12月6日,狗狗币正式上线。一天前,中国央行等五部委下发《关于防范比特币风险的通知》,比特币开始自巅峰下跌。而狗狗币却逆势上涨。到12月中旬,狗狗币大涨300%。
On December 6, 2013, the dog coin was officially on the line. One day, the Central Bank of China and five other ministries issued a Notice on Protection against Bitcoin Risk, which began to fall from its peak.
在币圈,狗狗币吸引了大量关注。《彭博商业周刊》《Business Insider》等主流媒体,也开始纷纷对其进行报道。但当热潮散去,人们发现,狗狗币仍然是一个“三无”空气币。
Main media, such as the Bloomberg Business Weekly, have also begun to report on it. But when the tide has spread, people find that it is still an & ldquao; no & rdquao; and air currency.
02 社区自治
02 Community Autonomy
狗狗币的应用场景,是美国文化盛行的“小费”。
The puppies application is the & ldquao; tip & rdquao; & puppies; & puppies; & puppies; & puppies; & puppies; & puppies; & puppies.
在狗狗币官网,官方对于狗狗币的定义是“有趣、友好的网络货币”。“当你发帖时,可以留下你的狗狗币地址;当你看到一篇好文章的时候,就给作者打赏狗狗币吧。”一位狗狗币爱好者这样介绍狗狗币。
On the dog money network, the official definition of dog money is “ interesting, friendly Internet currency & & rdquao; & & & & ldquao; when you post an invitation, you can leave your dog money address; when you see a good article, you can reward the author with dog money. & rdquao; a dog money lover introduces dog money like this.
“比特币太贵了。”在许多狗狗币爱好者眼中,价格上涨,反而成为了比特币的劣势——这意味着,大家更倾向于用比特币储值,而非打赏或消费。
& & ldquo; Bitcoin is too expensive. And & rdquo; in the eyes of many puppies, price increases become a bitcoin disadvantage & mdash; & mdash; which means that people prefer to use bitcoins instead of reward or consumption.
因此,狗狗币在问世之初,便制定了与众不同的发行机制。它的发行量高达1000亿枚。如此高的发行量,意味着即便狗狗币市值达到一定体量,其单价仍然会保持较低的数字,从而大大降低使用者的心理负担。
As a result, at the beginning of the world, a unique distribution mechanism was put in place. It has a circulation of up to 100 billion. Such a high circulation means that even if the market value of the dog price reaches a certain level, the unit price will remain low, thus significantly reducing the psychological burden on users.
除此之外,狗狗币每年会增发5%,以弥补丢币带来的市值减少,并保持一定的通胀率,以鼓励用户消费、使用狗狗币。
In addition to this, a 5 per cent increase is issued annually to compensate for the reduction in market value due to the loss of the currency and to maintain a certain inflation rate in order to encourage users to consume it and use it.
狗狗币爱好者们确实也更热衷于将狗狗币作为交易工具,而非投资标的。加拿大数字货币研究员Kevin Rooke于2018年年末发布的一份研究报告显示,狗狗币的活跃地址数达到了7万量级,仅次于比特币与以太坊,位居数字货币第三。而与此同时,狗狗币的市值总量长年维持在30位上下。
Dog money fans are indeed more keen to use it as a tool for trading than as an investment target. A study published by Kevin Rooke, a digital currency researcher in Canada, in late 2018, showed that the number of live dog money addresses reached 70,000, after Bitcoin and Etheria, third in digital currency.
事实上,除了面世初期,狗狗币一直算不上币圈的“明星项目”。但它却拥有着一个许多明星项目都无法比拟的活跃社区。
In fact, apart from the early days of the world, & ldquao; star project & & rdquao; but it has an active community that many star projects cannot match.
2013年,Doge的形象在Reddit上一夜火爆。这个“美国版百度贴吧”聚集着大量草根网民,也是许多美国网络流行文化的发祥地。
In 2013, Doge’s image went up overnight on Reddit. This & ldquao; the American 100-degree bar & rdquao; the gathering of a large number of grass-roots Internet users and the birthplace of many American Internet popular cultures.
有趣的是,Reddit在海外币圈也颇具影响力。它不仅捧红了Doge,也催生了Dogecoin。目前,Reddit的狗狗币版块拥有超过13万会员,仅次于比特币、以太坊与莱特币。
Interestingly, Reddit also has influence in foreign currency circles. Not only did it redevelop Doge, but it also gave birth to Dogecoin. At present, Reddit has over 130,000 members, after Bitcoin, Ethio and Leitcoin.
相比于其他币种的讨论区,狗狗币的Reddit版块更“大杂烩”——Doge的表情包与网友之间的打情骂俏随处可见。在充斥着追涨杀跌、炫富与哭穷的数字货币社区里,狗狗币的论坛显得格外特殊。
Compared to the discussion areas in other currencies, the Reddit section of the dog price is more & ldquo; the comb & rdquo; & mdash; & mdash; and the flirting between Doge's emoticons and his friends. Forums are particularly special in digital money communities full of chase-and-kill, show-and-run and cry-out.
在Reddit的狗狗币板块,有网友将NASA的LOGOPS成Doge表情包
At Reddit's puppies plate, there's an online friend who's making NASA's logops into Doge's Facebook kit .
“我是狗狗币的持有者,也只持有这一种数字货币。”不止一位狗狗币爱好者在这里写道。显然,他们与币圈主流用户并不重叠。
& ldquo; I'm the holder of dog money and I own only one digital currency. ” more than one dog money lover writes here. Obviously, they don't overlap with mainstream users in the currency circles.
“作为社区治理的代表,狗狗币展现出了强大的社区生命力。”一位区块链从业者表示,“即便创始人退出已久,狗狗币依然存活至今,这完全是社区自运营的结果。”
& & ldquo; as a representative of community governance, the puppies show a strong community vitality. & & rdquao; a block chain operator says & ldquao; even if the founder has been out for a long time, the puppies are still alive, which is the result of the community's own operations. & rdquao;
然而,将权力下放到社区,知易行难。2014年,帕尔默曾表示,自己拒绝过两家风投机构的投资。
However, decentralization to communities is easy. In 2014 Palmer stated that he had refused to invest in two investment institutions.
“狗狗币是一个‘互联网货币’,不属于任何个人或实体组织。我希望它能成为一个慈善项目,而狗狗币的社区将支撑这一项目继续走下去。”他说。
& ldquo; puppies is a &lsquao; Internet money & rsquao; and does not belong to any individual or entity. I want it to be a charity project, and the community of puppies will support the project. & rdquao; he says.
在慈善道路上,狗狗币走得颇远。2014年,狗狗币社区曾资助牙买加与印度的多名运动员踏上索契冬奥会之路。狗狗币也曾出资3万美金,支援肯尼亚解决饮水问题。
In 2014, the community funded a number of athletes from Jamaica and India to embark on the Sochi Olympics. Dogbi also provided $30,000 to support Kenya’s drinking water problem.
乐善好施,让狗狗币在常常“割韭菜”的币圈,获得了难得的好人缘。
Be kind, so that the dog's coins are often & & & & ldquao; cut & rdquao; and the coins get the best of the good.
今年愚人节,狗狗币官方账户在Twitter发起了评选狗狗币CEO的投票,特斯拉CEO马斯克高票当选。随后,马斯克发推文称,狗狗币是他最喜欢的数字货币,并将自己的Twitter账户信息修改为“狗狗币前CEO ”。
This year's Fool's Day, the dog-coin official account launched a vote on Twitter for the dog-coin CEO, and Tesla-Ceo-Masque was elected. Subsequently, Musk wrote that the dog-coin was his favorite digital currency and changed its Twitter account information to &ldquao; former dogcoin CEO & rdquo.
03 危机与未来
03 Crisis and the future
然而,在活跃的社区与正能量的愿景之下,狗狗币仍然隐藏着巨大的危机。
However, under the vision of active communities and positive energy, the doggie coin still hides a great crisis.
与大多数数字货币相同,如今的狗狗币,仍然有大量币值被少数几个地址掌握。BitInfoChart数据显示,狗狗币的Top 100地址拥有超过54%的狗狗币。而比特币的这一数字仅为16%。
Like most digital currencies, there are still a large number of doggies with a small number of addresses. BitInfoChart data show that top 100 addresses of doggies have over 54% of doggies. This number is only 16% of Bitcoins.
与美国相比,狗狗币在国内的人气始终逊色于主流币种。“散户绝对不要碰‘狗币’,‘狗币’有庄,而且都是‘狗庄’。”国内数字货币投资者张海对一本区块链表示。
In comparison with the United States, the doggies are always less popular in the country than in the mainstream. & ldquo; bulkiers never touch ‘ dog coins & rsquao; &lsquao; dog coins & rsquao; well-run and all &lsquao; doghouses & rsquao; & & rdquo; & domestic digital money investors say a chain of blocks.
佐证这一观点的,是狗狗币在历史上的数次“离奇上涨”。张海回忆,2017年,狗狗币并没有随着主流币种在大牛市中暴涨。然而,就在2017年的最后一月,多个社群突然出现了一批高呼“狗年买狗币”的声音,而狗狗币也应声上涨。
This view is supported by a number of & & & & & & & & & Qu; several times in history. Zhang Hao recalled that in 2017, dog money did not soar in the Bull City with the mainstream currency. However, in the last month of 2017, several communities suddenly appeared calling & & & ldquo; dog year buying & & rdquo; and the voice, which should also rise.
“这一波涨势很突然,也让人莫名其妙。”张海说。相比其他币种,狗狗币的“盘子”并不大,币价涨速十分可怕,“2018年1月初,币价几乎每天翻番。”
& & ldquo; this wave surge is sudden and surprising. & & rdquao; Zhang Hai says. & & & ldquao; plate & rdquao; & not too big; & & ldquao; in early January 2018, the currency doubled almost every day. & rdquao;
一切在1月8日戛然而止,狗狗币开始迅速下跌。农历狗年尚未到来,期盼着“狗年买狗币”致富的韭菜们,就此被收割。
It all ended on January 8th, when the dog coins began to fall rapidly. The year of the dog had not yet arrived, looking forward to &ldquao; the year of the dog buying & rdquao; and the rich cabbage, which was harvested.
2018年年初,狗狗币暴涨,随后暴跌
At the beginning of 2018, the puppies jumped and fell.
面对这种突如其来的变故,狗狗币松散的社区治理模式,似乎显得无能为力。原本的社区优势,在这时变成了劣势。
Faced with this sudden change, a loose model of community governance seems powerless. The advantage of the original community becomes a disadvantage.
2018年9月,狗狗币再次迎来一次大考。9月初,狗狗币突然出现不明原因的上涨,甚至在一天之内连翻数番。与此同时,有社区成员爆料,国内一家名为“正宇集团”的传销组织,正在号召成员大量买入狗狗币。
At the beginning of September, there was a sudden increase in the dog price for unknown reasons, even doubling in one day. At the same time, members of the community, known as & ldquo; Jungwoo Group & & rdquo; and distribution organizations, are calling on members to buy them in large numbers.
有消息称,“正宇集团”经营的某资金盘项目正处于崩盘边缘。面对大量会员要求提现的情况,该集团称,投资者可通过购买狗狗币并充值到指定交易所的方式赎回法币。一时之间,狗狗币被大量买入,币价飙升。
According to some sources, “ Jung-woo Group & & rdquo; a program run by a fund plate is on the verge of collapse. Faced with a large number of demands from members, the group claimed that investors could redeem the French currency by buying the dog money and charging it to a designated exchange.
“事实上,这是资金盘操盘手在榨干韭菜们最后的价值。”有人评论道。
& ldquo; in fact, it's the final value of the dry scavengers. & rdquao; some comment.
这样的局面,让狗狗币的投资者们十分尴尬。一方面,他们在币价上涨中获利颇丰;而另一方面,狗狗币因传销组织背负了骂名。
In this situation, the investors in the dog price are embarrassed. On the one hand, they are profiting from the increase in the price of the dog price, and on the other hand, the dog price is called after the distribution organization.
“在国内,狗狗币一直是一个十分边缘的币种。”张海表示,“与美国投资者不同,国内的许多投资者,其实希望狗狗币重新出现一名领导者,让狗狗币再次振兴,至少不再成为庄家的敛财工具。”
& ldquo; at home, the doggie coin has always been a very marginal currency. & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & ; & & & & & & & & & ; & & & & & & & & & & & & & & ; & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & ; & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & & ; & & & & ; & & & & & & & & & & & & & ; & & &, & &, & & &,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
然而,作为一个凭借草根网络文化起家,抛弃了投资机构,且几乎不具备任何技术独创性的老币种,狗狗币可能永远不会出现新的“领导者”了。
However, as a country based on a grass-roots network culture, abandoning investment institutions and having virtually no technological ingenuity, the doggie may never emerge as a new & ldquao; leader & rdquao;
2015年,狗狗币创始人帕尔默高调宣布退出币圈。在此之前,他曾与狗狗币最大的交易所Moolah的CEO亚历克斯·格林(Alex Green)掀起多场骂战。帕尔默说,他不希望太多的分歧导致狗狗币社区发展受阻。
In 2015, the founder of the dog money, Palmer, announced his withdrawal from the ring. Prior to that, he had several scolding battles with the CEO, Alex Green, of the largest trader, Moolah, who did not want too much disagreement to impede the development of the dog money community.
他的退出决定也许是正确的。2016年,格林因强奸罪被英国警方逮捕,并被判刑11年。此后,英国检方发现,他在经营Moolah交易所期间涉嫌洗钱与盗窃用户资产。
In 2016, Greene was arrested by the British police for rape and sentenced to 11 years. After that, the British prosecution discovered that he was suspected of money-laundering and theft of user assets while operating the Moolah exchange.
在宣布退出币圈时,帕尔默也给出了对这个圈子的看法:“整个行业充斥着越来越多的白人自由主义者,靠一些半生不熟的商业概念敛财,而他们大多都会失败。他们中还有许多人抱有无政府主义,而我对此并不认可。”
When he announced his withdrawal from the ring, Palmer also gave a view of the circle: & ldquo; the industry was rife with a growing number of white liberals, profiting from half-life business concepts, and most of them failed. Many of them were anarchist, and I did not agree with it. & rdquao;
2019年,帕尔默在网络世界的消失,给世人留下了一些永远的疑问:
In 2019, the disappearance of Palmer in the Internet world left the world with some eternal questions:
在区块链世界,一个项目的创始人该如何扮演好自己的角色?而创始人的消失,与社群力量的崛起,对于一个区块链项目而言,又意味着什么?
In the block chain world, how should the founder of a project play his part? And what does the disappearance of the founder mean for a block chain project?
无论是比特币,还是狗狗币,都在试图解答这个问题。
Whether it's bitcoin or dogcoin, it's trying to answer that question.
