Hi, I am Bob Jiang, the initiator of HiBlock Blockchain community. The first CST (Certified Scrum Trainer) in North China, a domestic Agile guru; Partner of agile Change Center, Agile 1001 Nights Community Partner, core organizer of Agile Tour, translator of The Essence of Scrum.

I am a fan of Li Xiaolai and agree with some of his opinions, one of which I think is the most interesting: Seven years is a lifetime (from Freshman, Seven Years is a Lifetime). I’ve been involved with Agile since 2011, and this year is just over seven years. That is to say, I have spent my whole life in the agile industry, and it is no exaggeration to say that I have reached the TOP 5 in the Agile industry in China.

Since 2017, I have been thinking about what I should do in my next life (the next seven years). Obviously, agile training is not my only career. So, where do I want to be in the next seven years?

In August 2017, a friend in the Agile community came to me with a technology that could solve the problems of the existing community (such as not being recognized for their efforts). I didn’t think so at the time. In December 2017, he came to me again and told me about this technology, which is very hot right now, blockchain technology. I took it with a grain of salt when he introduced me. Later, I decided to become a blockchain community, which was also attracted by the rapid growth of Bitcoin. At the same time, I was also learning blockchain technology, such as Bitcoin and Ethereum, etc. The deeper I studied, I found that the technology design of Bitcoin was very clever.

Bitcoin does not invent new technology, but solves the problem of trust between strangers by combining existing technologies (such as P2P, distributed database, encryption algorithm, consensus algorithm, etc.). Ethereum went one step further with its design improvements, adding smart contracts to Bitcoin and revamping its account model, hence the tokens and crazy I-C-O. This is the power of technology, it can change the relationship of production, but also can change the relationship between people.

There is no right or wrong with technology, it depends on what it does. Just like I-C-O, it can greatly mobilize the enthusiasm of the open source community. If it is not used properly, it will be a pyramid scheme or a fraud (that is how the air coin came to be).

Why do HiBlock blockchain community?

There are a lot of bubbles in the blockchain market right now, but after the bubble bursts, valuable things will settle down and remain. So what is a worthwhile thing? The technology, especially for solving real problems, is critical and valuable. In 2018, I will devote all my efforts to the cause of preaching blockchain technology.

There are many blockchain communities. What is the difference between HiBlock and other blockchain communities?

  • First, the HiBlock blockchain community focuses on technology and developers.

  • Second, the underlying foundation of the HiBlock blockchain community is the consensus of everyone (i.e. the community).

  • It’s a community built around the principles of blockchain. The most important principles are: decentralization, consensus and openness.

The following highlights the consensus principles of the HiBlock blockchain community:

  • Number one, value. Do things of value, not speculation.

  • Second, disclosure. Things in the HiBlock blockchain community are open and transparent.

  • Third, decentralization. No one person in the community is the absolute authority to tell others what to do. Everyone in the community is equal and self-organized.

  • Fourth, distributed. I hope that in this community, there can be a variety of people or organizations. Some people (or organizations) are big nodes, some people (or organizations) are small nodes, and each person (or organization) has his own contribution.

I hope I can make a contribution to the blockchain community and do something valuable in 2018.

Here’s a final AD:

  • Recruit people who share common values to work with.

  • Make the blockchain community work!

  • Link blockchain developers around the world!
