Real estate tycoon Ren Zhiqiang praises Bitcoin blockchain technology

At 8 a.m. on January 13, Ren Zhiqiang, a well-known real estate developer, former chairman of the Huayuan Group, known as "Ren Cannon", did not continue to criticize housing prices today. Instead, he forwarded and commented on a piece of news about Bitcoin blockchain technology, saying that "blockchain technology" is very practical.

The news was forwarded by Professor Sun Liping, a professor at the Department of Sociology of Tsinghua University. The content was "The Washington Times' 10 Most Avant-garde Innovative Ideas of 2016", which mentioned the huge potential of Bitcoin blockchain technology. Ren Zhiqiang commented at around 8 am: "Bitcoin blockchain technology is very practical." Immediately after the Weibo post was sent out, it received 275 reposts and more than 40 comments.

This is not the first time that Ren Zhiqiang has paid attention to Bitcoin blockchain technology. Previously, he had forwarded the Chinese domain name solicitation activity of the China Blockchain Application Research Center. As a child of a high-ranking official, in addition to his constant discussions in the real estate field, Ren Zhiqiang also has a lot of research on how to achieve communist economy, party and government construction and other social science knowledge. He has published a series of commentary blogs entitled "Party, My Mother", in which he mentioned: I never doubt the belief of the Chinese Communist Party in realizing the great ideal of communism. But we must find a reasonable path to achieve this great goal... If we want more people to believe in a certain concept, the best way is to use the superiority of this concept to prove that it represents the interests of the people and convince the people. "This demand coincides with the decentralized and distributed management concept of Bitcoin blockchain technology.

In addition to the financial sector, this technology has also begun to attract attention in the social sciences. Melanie Swan of the New School for Social Research in the United States said: "Bitcoin blockchain technology shows that the second-generation Internet is mainly based on value transfer and is the successor to the first-generation Internet, which is mainly based on information transmission." As of now, the number of Bitcoin blockchain network users is 10 million. Coincidentally, 10 years ago in 1996, the number of Internet users in the world was only about 10 million. Perhaps in the near future, Bitcoin blockchain technology will once again cover human economic life like the Internet.
