[imtoken钱包充值]《财富》专访赵长鹏：我更喜欢去马耳他开展业

Changpeng Zhao is down to earth for a crypto billionaire. The CEO of Binance, which emerged out of nowhere last year to become the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, isn’t given to boasting or swaggering pronouncements.

The Future is Decentralized but Will Take a While to Arrive

CZ cited newer tools like Komodo and Tendermint that make it possible to write blockchains for specific purposes, suggesting the future will consist of numerous bespoke ledgers. His comment—and this is just my interpretation—implies that blockchains will evolve in the way of chips, where customized ASIC (“application specific integrated circuit”) chips have come to dominate computing over general purpose ones.

与此同时，币安正在全力打造一个去中心化金融系统。这不是什么新思路，，比特币最初的愿景就是这样，但币安一直在通过重大行动来对其进行扩展，比如和马耳他政府共同建立全球性去中心化社区银行。CZ还说币安正在建立自己的区块链，目的是服务于去中心化加密货币交易所。

CZ还说，他更喜欢在马耳他这样的地方开展业务，因为他可以直接跟政府要员共同推广去中心化金融系统理念。

“In developed markets, there’s more money to be made but more regulation and it’s saturated with competition,” he said. “We don’t want to compete with Coinbase and [Winkelvoss-owned] Gemini. The strategy there requires lots of lawyers and lobbying.”

他表示：“我们和Coinbase的关系非常好。”（财富中文网）

In our interview, CZ was unfailingly polite, and equally happy to talk about big blockchain ideas or make small talk about the restaurants in the Richmond area of Vancouver. So perhaps it’s unsurprising he only had good things to say about Coinbase, which along with Binance is the most prominent cryptocurrency company.

加密货币市场的规模足够大家分享

赵长鹏是一位平易近人的加密货币亿万富翁。他担任首席执行官的币安公司（Binance）去年横空出世，一跃成为世界上最大的加密货币交易所，但他本人从不自吹自擂或目空一切。

上周币安宣布了它的第一笔收购，对象是TrustWallet，一个兼具去中心化app（dApp）浏览器功能的电子钱包。此举背后的动机是币安认为会有更多人开始使用去中心化服务，此类服务能提供更大的隐私空间，因为它们不需要依赖任何实体控制的服务器。

相反，人称“CZ”的赵长鹏友善而安静，他将精力都放在打造区块链帝国上，后者有可能重塑世界上的诸多金融系统。在接受《财富》杂志采访时，赵长鹏就币安和加密货币的未来阐述了他的几大思路。

让我意外的是，CZ认为目前的这些争夺者都无法取得长期成功，因为它们的速度都太慢了。虽然长期以来此类批评针对的一直都是以太坊，但CZ说任何为通用智能合约设计的区块链都不会很快（现在这些竞争者做的就是这些）。相反，他认为现有区块链将把这个领域让给更专业化的区块链。

While there’s been an explosion of dApps in the last two years—the most famous example is the collectibles site Crypto-Kitties—the reality is few are using them, in part because the user interfaces are so unwieldy. CZ concedes the point.

热门区块链面临威胁

赵长鹏曾在加拿大留学。他并不在意别人把“CZ”叫成“C-Zee”，还是按照加拿大人的习惯叫成“C-Zed”——大多数对区块链的预测都错了。不过，许多人或许很想听听他对未来的看法。

他说：“dApp还处在非常早的阶段，大多数还都只是对概念的验证或者简单的游戏。”但CZ认为这种情况可能很快就会改变。

在采访中，CZ一直很有礼貌，无论是有关区块链的宏大思路，还是温哥华地区列治文市的餐馆这样的小话题，他都乐于谈论。所以，对于和币安同为最出色加密货币公司的Coinbase，他只有赞誉之辞可能就不会让人觉得惊讶了。

“It’s still the very early stage in dApps. Most are just proof of concept or simple games,” he says, but adds this will likely to change before long.

By 2020, CZ says we’ll see broader use of blockchain-based messaging, games, social networks and rating systems. The next stage after that will be e-commerce, he expects.
