Taiwanese graduate created "Blocktrend," a simplified Web3 media platform, taught blockchain at universities, delivered TEDx talks, and wrote as a Bitcoin top writer.

An educator and a proud optimist, dived into crypto in 2017 and emerged with Blocktrend, a subscription-based media platform that makes Web3 as digestible as your favorite cereal.

His expertise has been recognized through invitations to share his knowledge at TEDx talks and at institutions, including Taiwan's Central Bank, Legislative Yuan, investigative bureaus, commercial firms, and universities.

我是許明恩,2015 年自臺灣大學電子所畢業,是《區塊勢》的創辦人也是唯一作者。

曾受邀至中央銀行、法官學院、司法官學院、高檢署、調查局及多所大學開設區塊鏈講座、工作坊,交流區塊鏈知識。也曾於 TEDx 演講、為國語日報撰稿,並獲 Medium 評選為比特幣頂尖作者(top writer in Bitcoin),為獲選的唯一華文作者。在 Hahow 開授區塊鏈線上入門課程。

我曾是一名礦工

2017 年,我在家裡騰出一個空間放朋友的以太幣(ETH)礦機,並收取 ETH 作為電費。因為挖礦的關係,我開始對加密貨幣背後的區塊鏈機制產生好奇。在閱讀大量的技術文件和白皮書後,很快我發現區塊鏈不只可以用來發行加密貨幣,也可以應用在很多不同的行業,因此轉而迷上研究區塊鏈到底能夠解決生活中哪些問題。

研究過程中,我發現要理解區塊鏈應用需要強大的技術與產業知識。加上這項新技術的資訊來源主要是網路,內容品質參差不齊、邏輯不連貫,甚至還有許多錯誤資訊有待逐步釐清。只有全職研究者才有餘裕重整事件的來龍去脈,並以淺顯的圖文表達。

創辦《區塊勢》

鑽研得越深入,我就越發現區塊鏈對許多行業乃至於我們的生活都可能產生巨大衝擊。而比特幣等加密貨幣的價格漲跌,僅僅只是冰山一角,卻已經成為你我生活中的熱議話題。

除了投資以外,比特幣真正的用途在於交易,而且能夠打破國家限制。生活在台灣的你我因為國家局勢相對穩定,所以不容易理解比特幣及後續衍生的區塊鏈實用性。但我們不應該就此錯過這次重要性足以媲美網際網路的區塊鏈革命。

我開始花大量時間從不同角度研究區塊鏈,並開始試著化繁為簡,用簡單易懂的方式,把比特幣、區塊鏈的前因後果交代清楚,目標就是寫出讓所有人都能看懂的區塊鏈內容,也獲得許多讀者的大力推薦。
