牛市里的抱怨声比熊市还多。

玩土狗的被挂在山顶,项目方哀叹行情不佳,撸毛工作室被反撸,VC 被套牢没有退出机会。赚不到钱,似乎是所有罪恶的根源。而残酷的是,即使抱怨声此起彼伏,但市场上却永远不缺赚钱的人。

比如只是在比特币上卖「测试水」,每天也能赚到一万刀。正是这些在很多「精英主义者」眼里不入流的「小生意人」,却总是能在币圈找到灵活的新赚钱机会。

从「卖水」到「租矿」,小生意的赚钱哲学

现在是八月末尾,随着「金九银十」的到来,各个金融领域都即将摆脱流动性紧缩的夏日困境。币圈也不例外,目前也已显现出了一些复苏的迹象。比特币已经稳固站上六万美元的高地,整个比特币生态随之焕发生机。

其中,Unisat 推出的扩容方案 Fractal Bitcoin(分型网络)尤其火热。这个基于 Bitcoin Core 原生代码并融入 op_cat 应用的方案,虽然仍在测试阶段,在本文撰稿时间就已吸引了超 600 万个地址参与测试。

在 8 月中旬 BlockBeast 对 Unisat 的专访中,他们也提到,对于进行各种测试提供反馈做出贡献的用户,将给予相应回馈。

这段话在社区中引起强烈反响,传播度非常高,一定程度上也激发了大家对测试网的参与动力。文章发出后,参与测试网的地址在短短一天内就暴增百万。

然而,官方测试网领水渠道给予的测试币数量有限,每次仅能领取 0.02 FBTC,且 6 小时才能领取一次,这就限制了一些想要做多地址的用户。

于是一个新的商机应运而生——售卖 FBTC 测试币,俗称「卖水」。(由于早期平台如同水龙头一样可以「流出」测试币,因此被称为「水龙头」,而测试币也因此被俗称为「水」)。

这并非币圈首创,FBTC 也并不是最早开始被售卖的测试币。

去年以太坊的 Sepolia 测试网没有上线前,Goerli TestNet 是以太坊最主流的测试网,几个提供水龙头服务的渠道只允许用户每天领取一定数量,还需要完成一系列繁琐的「社交验证」。在一些项目暗示测试网参与可能带来「福报」的背景下,Goerli ETH 测试代币也一度紧缺,当时每个 GETH 能卖到 3U 的价格。

交易测试币背后的门道

相比之下,目前 FBTC 的售价相对亲民,约为 0.4 美元左右一个。加上一些关于测试奖励的传闻,市场需求持续存在。有工作室为了增加获得潜在空投的机会,甚至大量购买测试币以创建成百上千的地址。

「现在买水的人,大多是要分号的,假设一个账号他准备刷 1 个 FBTC 的 TX,那么 100 个账号就需要 100 个 FBTC,那需要的量就挺大的,目前的测试地址有 700 万了,这些人都是为了博空投预期。」Yan 散修(@practice_y11)对 BlockBeats 说道。

从分型网络的代码第一次上线测试网开始,Yan 散修的团队就一直和 Unisat 密切合作,从了解运行挖矿,一直到现在运作的都非常稳定,因此他们下一阶段的重点是吸纳更多自由挖矿者,建设一个矿池 MoonX

Yan 散修也给我们解释了分型网络的挖矿机制:网络采用与比特币主网相同的工作量证明(POW)机制,同时引入了创新的 Cadence Mining 挖矿方式,旨在平衡大矿池和自由挖矿。忽略区块难度的增长来粗略计算,分型网络每天可产出约 7.2 万个 FBTC,其中 33% 来自联合挖矿,66% 来自自由挖矿。

目前,自由挖矿中排名第一的矿工占据了 66.91% 的算力,理论上每天可挖出约 3 万个 FBTC。

按照目前市场上 0.3 美元/个的保守售价,假设这些「货」都能全部倾售,那么每日收入将达到一万刀左右。

币圈「淘金者」变局求生

不过,鱼多了就不值钱。

「出售 FBTC,量大管饱,价格便宜」,一些售卖 FBTC 的场外 OTC 商也吆喝着。随着越来越多的挖矿者加入,FBTC 的销路有些滞销,FBTC 的价格从最初的 1.5 美元一路下滑至现在的 0.4 美元左右,日交易量也有所下降。

市场上甚至传出一些,渠道商为促进 FBTC 的销路而人为拉高测试网 GAS 费用的传闻。

不过 Yan 散修 认为这种可能是有的,但从实现的角度上来说比较难:「分型网络 30 秒一个区块,太快了。即使前面的区块费用卷到了 30,但两个区块之后所有的交易被打包,Gas 就降下去了。除非有人能真的控制分型网络的算力一直去挖空块,但即使不断挖空块,90 秒后还是会由联合挖矿的区块做打包,所以这个传闻是有些不切实际的。」

测试币供大于求,分型网络又计划在 9 月 1 日上线激活主网,这意味着测试币需求可能进一步减少。卖测试币 FBTC 的小生意或许也赚不到太久的钱了,毕竟当一个生意能被「写出来」的时候,这个生意就已经没那么赚钱了。

但对于这些挖矿选手而言,危机往往也孕育着新的机遇。随着主网的上线,新的业务模式正在酝酿,比如出租算力。

BlockBeats 从市场上了解到,目前分型网络出租算力的价格为每个月 12u/t,最低 200T 起租,这意味着每个月可从一个用户身上获得 2400 美元的收入。而且就目前来看,市场上对租聘分型网络算力的需求还挺大的。

「确实也有很多社区朋友在问我能不能租算力,看市场情况吧,我们的矿池之后也可能考虑增加这一业务。」Yan 散修 对 BlockBeast 透露道。

市场有需求,第二天就行动;市场失去兴趣,立即调整方向。

今天可能是「卖水」,明天可能是「租矿」,后天又可能是全新的业务。在币圈做一些灵活的小生意,根据市场需求快速做出调整,灵活应变,也不失为一种安身立命的好办法。

毕竟这个世界上,赚钱的业务有很多,但永远赚钱的业务并不多,而币圈更是瞬息万变。

What is $BITCOIN

DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): A Comprehensive Analysis Introduction to DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a blockchain-based project operating on the Solana network, which aims to combine the characteristics of traditional precious metals with the innovation of decentralized technologies. While it shares a name with Bitcoin, often referred to as “digital gold” due to its perception as a store of value, DIGITAL GOLD is a separate token designed to create a unique ecosystem within the Web3 landscape. Its goal is to position itself as a viable alternative digital asset, although specifics regarding its applications and functionalities are still developing. What is DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) is a cryptocurrency token explicitly designed for use on the Solana blockchain. In contrast to Bitcoin, which provides a widely recognized value storage role, this token appears to focus on broader applications and characteristics. Notable aspects include: Blockchain Infrastructure: The token is built on the Solana blockchain, known for its capacity to handle high-speed and low-cost transactions. Supply Dynamics: DIGITAL GOLD has a maximum supply capped at 100 quadrillion tokens (100P $BITCOIN), although details regarding its circulating supply are currently undisclosed. Utility: While precise functionalities are not explicitly outlined, there are indications that the token could be utilized for various applications, potentially involving decentralized applications (dApps) or asset tokenization strategies. Who is the Creator of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? At present, the identity of the creators and development team behind DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) remains unknown. This situation is typical among many innovative projects within the blockchain space, particularly those aligning with decentralized finance and meme coin phenomena. While such anonymity may foster a community-driven culture, it intensifies concerns about governance and accountability. Who are the Investors of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN)? The available information indicates that DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) does not have any known institutional backers or prominent venture capital investments. The project seems to operate on a peer-to-peer model focused on community support and adoption rather than traditional funding routes. Its activity and liquidity are primarily situated on decentralized exchanges (DEXs), such as PumpSwap, rather than established centralized trading platforms, further highlighting its grassroots approach. How DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) Works The operational mechanics of DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) can be elaborated on based on its blockchain design and network attributes: Consensus Mechanism: By leveraging Solana’s unique proof-of-history (PoH) combined with a proof-of-stake (PoS) model, the project ensures efficient transaction validation contributing to the network's high performance. Tokenomics: While specific deflationary mechanisms have not been extensively detailed, the vast maximum token supply implies that it may cater to microtransactions or niche use cases that are still to be defined. Interoperability: There exists the potential for integration with Solana’s broader ecosystem, including various decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. However, the details regarding specific integrations remain unspecified. Timeline of Key Events Here is a timeline that highlights significant milestones concerning DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN): 2023: The initial deployment of the token occurs on the Solana blockchain, marked by its contract address. 2024: DIGITAL GOLD gains visibility as it becomes available for trading on decentralized exchanges like PumpSwap, allowing users to trade it against SOL. 2025: The project witnesses sporadic trading activity and potential interest in community-led engagements, although no noteworthy partnerships or technical advancements have been documented as of yet. Critical Analysis Strengths Scalability: The underlying Solana infrastructure supports high transaction volumes, which could enhance the utility of $BITCOIN in various transaction scenarios. Accessibility: The potential low trading price per token could attract retail investors, facilitating wider participation due to fractional ownership opportunities. Risks Lack of Transparency: The absence of publicly known backers, developers, or an audit process may yield skepticism regarding the project's sustainability and trustworthiness. Market Volatility: The trading activity is heavily reliant on speculative behavior, which can result in significant price volatility and uncertainty for investors. Conclusion DIGITAL GOLD ($BITCOIN) emerges as an intriguing yet ambiguous project within the rapidly evolving Solana ecosystem. While it attempts to leverage the “digital gold” narrative, its departure from Bitcoin's established role as a store of value underscores the need for a clearer differentiation of its intended utility and governance structure. Future acceptance and adoption will likely depend on addressing the current opacity and defining its operational and economic strategies more explicitly. Note: This report encompasses synthesised information available as of October 2023, and developments may have transpired beyond the research period.
