BlockBeats 2022: The Year 8 million people learned about Web3

Thirteen years after the debut of the first bitcoin, the world of cryptocurrencies has undergone a shakeout of historic proportions. In the deleveraging process that lasted half a year, the project that was once the top five cryptocurrency market capitalization, the trading platform that was once the top three cryptocurrency in the world, and the fund and institution that was once well-known in the crypto world came to a deafening end one after another.

Bitcoin 2022 with $48,000 to start, the first four months not to say how bright, but in the background of StepN extreme circle, everyone's emotions high. Open 17 times, then the secondary market can have dozens of times the proceeds of the project, which is rare in the last year. After a year of super bull market, when we think the market may have to rest, StepN's strength pulled back everyone's confidence, let everyone see the new possibility.

Unfortunately, SuperCycle is an illusion.

May officially kicked off the theme of 2022, six months and five years back for the crypto industry. LUNA, one of the top five companies in market capitalization, lost 40 billion yuan of market value in two days. Three Arrows Capital, with a maximum management size of 18 billion dollars, exploded overnight. FTX, the world's second largest trading platform, lost its 32 billion dollar valuation in just three days. There's nothing we can do but run and witness history.

The collapse of the giant splashed several feet of spray, let each of our boats are terrified, BlockBeats is no exception. Live through 2022, we also recorded the data in 2022, which is a watershed year for cryptocurrency, but also the most active year for BlockBeats data. We are also here to make a summary of ourselves, to record our 2022, but also to remind ourselves, in awe of the market.

User data

In 2022, BlockBeats made a great adjustment in its operation strategy. It actively closed media accounts of some channels and concentrated users in the website and APP of BlockBeats. Looking back over the year, the new strategy also paid off. In 2022, 8 million unique users will learn about the latest news in the Web3 industry through the BlockBeats website and APP. In May, the crypto world experienced massive volatility, with more than 5 million readers reading our article "$84 million Shakes up $40 Billion Financial Empire, UST Collapse From Start to End" and learning about the LUNA incident. By the end of 2022, we have settled 400,000 active Web3 players, who use BlockBeats products almost every day to learn about the latest developments in the Web3 world. We believe that they will also be the core participants and builders of Web3 in the future.

At the same time, the users of BlockBeats in many Chinese-speaking regions also grew rapidly. Thanks to Hong Kong's New encryption policy, the users of BlockBeats in Hong Kong increased by 160%, and those in Taiwan also increased by 96%. Looking across Asia, Singapore, home to many Web3 companies in the world, saw a 170% increase in users. Even in non-Chinese speaking areas, we started to have regular users, most of whom are local Kols. With the help of translation software, we spread our information to the local community. 194% in Australia, 425% in Malaysia, 114% in South Korea, 100% in Thailand and 66% in Vietnam.
