The word “Shigenkeizai” is rarely used as a general economic term in Japanese.
Depending on the context, you may be pointing to the “token economy” due to Chinese and AI translation.
There are three main concepts:
- Web3 and cryptocurrencyエコノミー economy
- Digital economic zone using points and in-game currencies
- Token as a unit to divide and charge sentences with AI
Even the same "token" is quite different.
It is easy for beginners to understand that the is considered "a thing that represents value and use rights on digital". However, if you are investing, it is necessary to check whether there is a、, but it is actually used and leads to revenue and demand.
What is the economy?
The経済 economy is an economic zone where participants move around withデジタルs such as value, rights, usage, and rewards on digital.
The、 here is not just a cryptographic asset.
If you spread to familiar things, you can think of the following as a.
- Point
- In-game currency
- Crypto assets
- NFT
- Service Usage Rights
- API Credits
For example, you can get points using a service. The point can be used for the next shopping. Use the same service as there are more points.
This is a mechanism to improve behavior using。s.
The Web economy of Web3 is easy to understand if you see this idea on the blockchain.
"Lemon Economy" is not a general term
The first thing you want to organize is the word "verb economy".
Japanese financial and economic articles are not used as general terms.
If you are looking for a look, you may:
| 表現 | The Meaning |
|---|---|
| 詞元経済 | Possibility of referring to the経済 economy by AI translation and Chinese expression |
| Token Economy | How to turn digital values and rewards withすs |
| Token Economy | Expression that is easy to use in Web3 and cryptographic assets |
| token economy | In the field of psychology and education, the meaning of action formation by reward |
In other words, it is important to see what指 is actually pointing to rather than just chasing the word "verb economy".
Is it a story of crypto assets? Is AI billing unit? Is it a point economy?
If you mix here, it will be quite misunderstood.
Example of familiar s
The economy is surprisingly and everyday.
| Service Area | Token | How to use |
|---|---|---|
| ten・Pay etc. | Point | Shopping, Re, Enclosed |
| Game | Game Coins | Item purchase, gacha, participation fee |
| Crypto assets | Bitcoin | Remittance, Retention, Payment, Network Use |
| NFT | Certification close to digital ownership | Collection, Membership, Game Assets |
| AI Services | API Credits and Usage | Text generation, image generation, and reasoning |
The most important thing is the.
What is it? How many people use? Is the more issuance, the more profitable the network?
You need to see this in your investment.
Why Webs are important in Web3
In Web3, Webs are used as incentives for network participation, not just points.
For example, by a user, developer, investor, and operator with the same, it will attempt to connect the growth of the service and the profit of the participant.
The following cycles are generated when you turn around.
- More people use services and networks
- More opportunities to use s
- Demand for fees, payments, and governance
- More participants
Bitcoin and Ethereum
Ethereum makesウォレットs in line with certain rules and makes it easy to work with wallets and applications.
However, it is not that the economic zone is established only with the経済.
No user. The purpose of use is weak. There are many issues. Only the operator gets.
In such a design, the price is temporarily moving and it is difficult to last a long time.
"Token" in the AI era is different
The word "token" comes out well in the AI field.
However, the meaning is different from Web3、s.
AI-basedモデルs are divided into units that allow the model to process sentences. Even in Japanese and English, the text is not processed as it is, and the inside of the model is treated as aモデル unit.
For example, if you put a long sentence in AI, the input increases. If AI responds for a long time, the output。 increases.
In OpenAI API, the usage amount is charged depending on the model, input, output, cache, etc.
| AI Token | 意味 |
|---|---|
| Input Token | Texts and instructions that users pass to AI |
| Output Token | Answers generated by AI |
| Cash Input Token | Reusable input context, etc. |
| Context limit | Maximum number of モデルs available at once |
The、 here is not a cryptographic asset.
AI is a unit for processing sentences and data rather than文章 which price goes up and down.
Point to view AIの economy
When looking at an AI company, “token consumption” is an important tip.
In the API-type business, the more you use, the more you input/output、, the more you connect to sales.
However, this is not simple.
Moreトークン consumption makes sales easier. But at the same time, the calculation cost is increased.
In the AI business, you need to separate the following relationships:
| 観点 | How to check |
|---|---|
| Usage | Continued use of users and companies |
| Price | Profitability per、 or per use |
| Price | GPU, Cloud, Power, Reasoning Cost |
| Close | Is the increase of use leads to profit? |
| Co ity | Isn’t it just used? |
AI has a “more sales” aspect.
At the same time, it is also a business that "more expensive to use".
So investors are also focused on AI semiconductors, clouds, data centers, power and cooling equipment. It is because there is a very heavy physical infrastructure on the back side of the AI service.
As a research theme, you can see the following companies and areas:
- NVIDIA
- Microsoft
- OpenAI
- Cloud Business
- Data Center
- Power & Cooling Infrastructure
However, since the use of AI increased, not all related companies make money the same.
Who can charge? Who pays the cost? Who will benefit?
It is a division of investment decisions.
Easy to misunderstand for beginners
s are not only cryptographic assets
Many people think of Bitcoin and crypto assets when they hear s.
However, points, in-game currency, API usage, membership rights are also used。ly in a wide sense.
First of all, check which分野の in the field.
Token price is quite moving
The value動き of the crypto asset tends to be greater in value movement.
The price changes greatly with the buzz of the project, listing, regulation, interest rate, supply and demand, and SNS.
It is not a good project because the price is rising.
The best way to use
The経済 economy should be seen in the end.
Actually used. More users More transactions and payments. Developers participate. Company
These実s are weaker when the topic is broken.
Poor設計 design does not leave value
There is a design that does not return value to the。 even if the user increases.
For example, even though the service is growing, the is just a campaign distribution. or continue to dilute by too much issuance.
In this case, it is dangerous to see only the number of users.
Monetization from the number of members. Continued use than topicality.
This is quite practical.
Investment checkpoints
If you look at the経済 economy as an investment theme, check the following items:
| 観点 | Check |
|---|---|
| Number of users | Are there actually more users? |
| Frequency | Is it used continuously rather than once |
| More | to fees, charges, advertisements, API usage fees, etc. |
| Is there too much infrastructure costs or remuneration costs? | |
| Token Design | Is it reasonable to issue, lock up, burn, and remuneration design |
| 規制 | Does not include cryptographic assets, securities, personal information, and payment regulations? |
| Infrastructure | to semiconductor, cloud, and data center demand |
Especially in Web3, it is easy to see theを見る price only.
When the price is rising, it may seem that the use is growing. However, there are only short-term funds.
On the other hand, there is a situation where the profit is difficult to remain even if the amount of AI is increasing.
Although the経済 economy is a dream theme, it is necessary to confirm that the investment is quite味.
Number of users, co ity rate, sales, coarse interest, and infrastructure cost.
After all, go back to here.
Diagram
The linguistic economy is not a general economic term in Japanese.
In many cases, the close concept is "token economy" or "token economy".
The current経済 economy is widely used in Web3, crypto assets, AI, points, games, and digital membership.
However, the same、 is different.
Web3 is close to network value and participation rights. AI is close to the unit of processing sentences and data. Points are close to rewards for returning users.
First of all, it is enough to press the following two.
- Tokens represent digital value, rights and usage
- In investments,トークンs are actually used, and they are linked to revenue and profits.
Not only the topic.
Use Be monetized. Keep profits beyond costs.
When you see the経済 economy, you want to check in this order.
