ChainCatcher news, the first investor of Pop Mart, Mai Gang, recently stated in a podcast interview, "Bitcoin is a very important experience in my career. Once, during a forum for alumni of Renmin University, the host asked me why I have a special fondness for Bitcoin, while various big names like chief economists have not grasped or seen it?First of all, I definitely am not a top student. Secondly, I am not a poor student either, and the result is that I only remember the most important things that the teacher taught me, which are those common sense or truths.So back when we studied monetary banking, economics, and so on, every (finance major) university student would have these courses. From this perspective, looking at Bitcoin is actually incredibly simple. Of course, it is also a lot of interdisciplinary knowledge, etc., and understanding does not require you to have a PhD. I think the pursuit, questioning, and persistence in essential issues are very rare and important. What it is, is what matters most."
