Recently, according to sources familiar with the matter, Masayoshi Son invested in the blockchain animation project Myou, a non-profit organization founded in Singapore, to create a new form of collaborative creation ecological network for the global animation field based on blockchain technology. It allows animation creators around the world to quickly and effectively dock and form new ways of production and creation.
It is well known that Masayoshi Son is very strict in the screening of projects, and has never invested only in projects where the blockchain technology can be landed, and focuses more on supporting game-type projects in the field of investment, which he believes has a wider range of scenarios of application.
He said that there are two main reasons for investing in Myou: on the one hand, the animation industry is a huge market and there are business opportunities; on the other hand, it is due to the strength of the Myou project side, which is fully capable of realizing the landing of blockchain technology in the animation industry.
Be optimistic about the animation industry, a hundred billion dollar market to be tapped
According to a recent report released by the investment bank Digi-Capital:The market size of the animation industry is growing at a rate of 50% per year, and the global animation software and hardware revenues will exceed $200 billion in 2019, and in 2020 it will exceed $250 billion.
However, the classic animation IP is becoming less and less in the 100 billion dollar market. The current centralized animation industry, profits are almost monopolized by giants, animation homogenization is serious, due to the lack of capital drive, excellent artists and teams have very limited space to survive, good animation IP ideas are often stillborn. With the industry gradually coming to a standstill, a decline in the quality of anime is inevitable.
Now, aiming at the huge development potential of the animation industry, Myou has invested a lot of manpower and resources, adhering to the concept of a highly liberalized animation ecosystem, and is committed to creating a decentralized animation ecosystem and promoting the animation industry to embark on the path of benign development.
What is the potential of Myo to attract Masayoshi Son?
There is no doubt that the centralized traditional animation industry is in urgent need of being changed, and the founding team of Myou strives to build a competitive project from all dimensions, striving for excellence in technology and teamwork, and striving to enter into cooperation with organizations such as Japan's SoftBank, Sony, and Jiyosha in order to better develop the market at a later stage.
Technological advantages.The ecology that Myou wants to build is an ecological platform that is fair and transparent to creators, businesses and consumers.Unlike other platforms, Myou offers a groundbreaking incentive and multi-level recommendation system that allows users to earn income in anime and from social activities, as well as earn rebate fees from other users' payments. With Myou developers will reduce their marketing expenses and earn additional revenue from other anime on the platform. Users and developers will be rewarded by the platform in the form of reward tokens as they generate contributions to the platform.
Myou's core logic as well as the logic of anime operation is realized based on smart contracts, and all key data such as anime digital assets, core operations in the process of anime and the results of random number generation are recorded on the chain, and all behaviors are open and transparent.
Myou mainly adopts the form of main chain and multiple side chains to realize the ecological layout. Considering the high intensity interaction and high real-time requirements of the animation scene, the Myo protocol adopts a higher throughput PoWPoS*** knowledge main chain, together with multiple animation/functionality side chains with their own **** knowledge mechanisms to achieve both security and efficiency. Among them, the main chain adopts a hybrid ****-aware mechanism of PoW (ProofofofWork) PoS (ProofofofStake).
Financial advantage. In addition to this investment by Masayoshi Son, the Myo project has long been in the spotlight of venture capitalists and has reached a cooperation agreement with organizations such as Japan's SoftBank, BACapital, Cobin Capital, FUNK Capital, Genesis Capital, and Ten Thousand Chain Capital. In the future, with the support of capital, the project will accelerate to the ground.
In addition, Sony, Jiyinsha and other enterprises have also reached strategic cooperation with Myou. With the efforts of many parties, more brand customers will be pushed to uplink their anime IP rights, which will be conducive to Myou's rapid entry into the anime market.
Team Advantage: Myou's CEO, Reza Far, won the TOP10 Canadian Young Entrepreneur Award in 1998, 1999 and 2001, and has held key positions in many groups in the Middle East, covering real estate, information technology, logistics, crude oil and other industries.

"Those who watch and hesitate will be eliminated"
The architecture of blockchain's underlying technology can solve the essential problem of centralization in the current business district, and the concept of blockchain will become the foundation of trust and credit mechanism in the future business field. Hubris has long realized that blockchain is a disruptive technology, and he believes that those who watch and hesitate will be eliminated.
Myou is just one of the projects he has invested in the blockchain field, and in the future investment layout, he will rely on the capital and resource advantages of NutsCapital Fund to continue to plough into the blockchain field and discover more projects with potential.
NutsCapital has now set up branches and professional teams in China, the United States, Singapore, Japan, South Korea and many other countries to realize a global blockchain ecological layout.
