Competition pattern of blockchain

3. A brief review of the origin of blockchain
blockchain is the underlying system of distributed ledger in bitcoin. Bitcoin ledgers are built in a distributed and spontaneous way. Anyone can generate new currency blocks by performing specific cryptographic calculations, so as to obtain a digital "currency" that can be used for transactions. Bitcoin's impact on the world monetary system can be said to be subversive, which is also an important reason why it has attracted a lot of people's strong attention since it came out. After that, there were dozens of similar electronic currencies such as
"lightcoin". The abstract extraction of distributed digital currency technology from bitcoin forms a "blockchain" technology, which can be used in more fields
the basic idea of blockchain is to establish a network-based public ledger (data block), each block contains the information of a network transaction. All the participating users in the network work together to keep accounts and check accounts. All the data are open and transparent, and can be used to verify the effectiveness of the information. In this way, the authenticity and non tamperability of information can be guaranteed at the technical level without the central server as the trust intermediary
the significance of blockchain lies in "decentralization", which can fundamentally solve the fraud and rent-seeking phenomenon in value exchange and transfer by building a more reliable network system. With the popularization of blockchain technology, the digital economy will be more authentic, and the economic society will become more fair and transparent
not only digital currency, but also blockchain technology is infiltrating into more innovative fields.
virtual digital currency such as bitcoin is just an application scenario of blockchain technology. Theoretically speaking, based on the characteristics of blockchain technology, human beings can create a very rich form of services and procts, such as finance, government, enterprises, etc There are a large number of scenarios suitable for blockchain technology in cross instry and other fields, with broad prospects. At present, many countries around the world have started the research of blockchain technology, and a series of instry organizations and alliances have been established. However, as blockchain technology is a brand-new technology, which subverts the traditional centralized mode, major institutions are still in the research stage, with only a small number of actual projects landing, and the great development of the instry has just begun
now, blockchain economy is on the eve of outbreak. The exploration of financial instry is ahead of others, while the application of other instries is developing rapidly. The obvious advantage of blockchain instry application is to optimize business process, rece operation cost and improve collaborative efficiency. This advantage has been graally reflected in financial services, Internet of things, public services, social welfare and supply chain management
as the backbone of emerging technologies, blockchain is not only used in the field of virtual currency, but also in other fields such as finance, medical care, intellectual property certification, etc. a large number of excellent enterprises have emerged in China to explore or enter the blockchain instry. According to the in-depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of blockchain instry released by foresight Instry Research Institute, as of the end of 2016, there were 105 blockchain related enterprises in China, 80% of which were concentrated in eastern coastal cities, including Shanghai, Hangzhou and Taipei
from the perspective of global blockchain technology application development, as of April 2017, financial service companies accounted for 55.43% of the 267 blockchain venture capital companies; From the perspective of the Chinese market, 34 of the top 50 blockchain venture capital companies in 2016 are involved in financial services, mainly in cross-border payment, bill discounting and financial service platform<
analysis of the development trend of blockchain
the combination of blockchain and cloud computing is more and more close, and baas is expected to become a public trust infrastructure
cloud computing is the general trend. We believe that the combination of blockchain and cloud is also an inevitable trend. There are two modes for the combination of blockchain and cloud, one is blockchain in the cloud, the other is blockchain in the cloud. The latter, namely baas, blockchain-as-a-service, refers to that the cloud service providers directly provide blockchain as a service to users. In the future, more and more cloud service enterprises will integrate blockchain technology into the ecological environment of cloud computing. By providing baas function, they can effectively rece the deployment cost of enterprise application blockchain and rece the initial threshold of innovation and entrepreneurship
the security problem of blockchain has become increasingly prominent, and security protection needs the overall consideration of technology and management
blockchain system is almost perfect mathematically, with the advantages of openness and transparency, difficult to tamper, reliable encryption, anti DDoS attack, etc. However, from the engineering point of view, its security is still restricted by infrastructure, system design, operation management, privacy protection and technology update iteration. In the future, we need to consider the overall situation of technology and management, strengthen basic research and overall protection, so as to ensure the application security
the competition of blockchain is becoming increasingly fierce, and patent competition has become an important field of competition
with the increase of participants, the competition of blockchain will become more and more fierce, and the competition is all-round, including technology, mode, patent and other dimensions. We believe that in the future, enterprises will strengthen the layout of blockchain patents. Since 2014, the number of blockchain patent applications has grown explosively. Blockchain patents are mainly distributed in the United States in North America, the United Kingdom in Europe, China and South Korea in Asia, and this pattern will be maintained in the future. The patent gap between China and the United States is narrowing, and the number of applications in China in 2016 has surpassed that in the United States. It can be predicted that the patent competition of blockchain will become increasingly fierce in the future
with the acceleration of domestic policy process, the development of the instry ushers in a new opportunity
blockchain has attracted attention from all walks of life e to its core advantages of high performance, high security, high-speed access, efficient operation and so on. In the context of the rapid development of blockchain, China conforms to the needs of globalization, closely follows the international pace, and actively promotes the research, standardization and instrialization development of domestic blockchain related fields
trustworthiness is the core requirement of blockchain, and the importance of standards and specifications is becoming increasingly prominent
in the future value delivery network based on blockchain, we will completely use algorithms and software to build the trust foundation. However, we believe that this is far from enough, and we need the standard to increase the credibility of the blockchain. In the future, the standard of blockchain will standardize the technology and governance of blockchain from the perspective of users, business oriented, and from the dimensions of smart contract, consensus mechanism, private key security, and authority management, so as to enhance the credibility of blockchain and add weight to the trust of blockchain.

4. 2019 is the first year for blockchain to break the financial monopoly
from cable TV companies to retail enterprises, all walks of life are trying their best to keep their most precious property: monopoly. The traditional view is: "if you control the entrance and channel, then consumers have little choice."
however, we see that companies like Netflix and Amazon break the old pattern and provide more choices for our lives. Similarly, in the field of digital currency and finance, some of the largest financial institutions are facing serious challenges
it is expected that decentralized business and demand will rise in 2019, which will provide more opportunities for successful blockchain companies. At the same time, but this opportunity also means risk. If, as in 2018, the founders or entrepreneurs of blockchain companies make too many promises, and the projects are suspected of exaggeration, they may lose their reputation and first mover advantage< For decades, the world's largest financial institutions have controlled most of the financial systems of the global economy
however, blockchain companies have begun to gain fair competition opportunities through access to banking services and real-time payment. In 2019, the blockchain instry will enter the field of securities, loans and other derivative financial procts in addition to financial payment. Companies like securitize *, Dharma, dydx, compound finance and the ocean are committed to building decentralized finance
in the past few years, mobile application companies such as rap, gojek and paytm have been expanding their business, with payment, investment, remittance, loan and insurance procts emerging. As many Asian economies move from cash to the digital economy, they are rapidly attracting users of new banks
Asian regulators have provided clearer guidelines for blockchain and digital currency projects because they believe that blockchain is a catalyst for economic growth and may become a sunrise instry in the future
in addition, more than 80% of digital currency trading volume comes from Asia, so digital currency investors are eager to establish reliable infrastructure. If Grab, Gojek and Paytm can benefit from digital money investors, they will begin to support the block chain more, providing awesome experience for payment, loans and other derivatives.
back to the original heart
in the past few years, the digital currency instry has deviated from its original financial vision, which is well illustrated in Nakamoto's bitcoin white paper. Just like the prosperity and depression of the Internet, almost all imaginable real cases, such as the logistics chain of tracking the freshness of flowers, are attracting people's attention with the hot word of blockchain
however, just like the early Internet, real landing cases must match the development stage of technology
Netflix, for example, could not successfully stream TV programs in 2000, when less than 1% of people used broadband. In the past few years, it has become more and more obvious that payment is a real case of massive application of blockchain
in 2019, blockchain companies will develop rapidly in decentralized financial applications (such as loans and insurance procts) based on the smart contract platform
I always find that the best application landing occurs in specific market segments. As long as blockchain companies can focus on procts that solve specific problems, we will see more competitive and innovative blockchain companies
and that's a good thing for the instry as a whole.

Blockchain platforms include Ethereum, Asch and other underlying application development platforms

Ethereum, an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function, provides decentralized Ethereum virtual machine to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency ether (ETH)

arch, a decentralized application platform based on side chain technology. Asch is designed to lower the threshold of developers, such as using JavaScript as the application programming language and supporting relational database to store transaction data, which is believed to be very attractive to developers and small and medium-sized enterprises

extended data

in 2008, Nakamoto first proposed the concept of blockchain. In the following years, blockchain has become the core component of electronic currency bitcoin: public account book for all transactions

by using peer-to-peer network and distributed timestamp server, the blockchain database can be managed independently. The blockchain invented for bitcoin makes it the first digital currency to solve the problem of repeated consumption. Bitcoin's design is a source of inspiration for other applications

bitcoin is the absolute mainstream of digital currency, and digital currency is in full bloom. Bitcoin, litecoin, dogecoin, dashcoin are common. In addition to currency application, there are various derivative applications, such as Ethereum, Asch and other underlying application development platforms, as well as NXT, SIA, bitstocks, maidsafe, ripple and other instrial applications

7. Blockchain empowers the development of real economy. With the development of blockchain technology, its application scenarios are more in-depth, from commodity traceability, judicial deposit, government affairs, supply chain finance, trade finance, social public welfare to instrial management, energy and power, data transaction, public resource transaction, digital identity, medical health and other fields. In the future, with the further development of blockchain technology, especially in terms of performance, scale and security, its application scenarios will be increasingly extensive
1) the life cycle of blockchain instry. By analyzing the market growth rate, demand growth rate, proct variety, number of competitors, entry and exit barriers, technological change, user purchase behavior of the blockchain instry, we can judge the development stage of the instry
2) supply and demand balance of blockchain instry market. By analyzing the supply, demand and import and export situation of the blockchain instry, we can judge the supply and demand balance of the instry, in order to grasp the saturation degree of the instry market
3) competition pattern of blockchain instry. Through the analysis of the bargaining power of suppliers, buyers, potential competitors, substitutes and competitors in the blockchain instry, we can master the five forces that determine the profit level of the instry
4) economic operation of blockchain instry. It mainly includes data analysis, including the number of competitive enterprises, number of employees, total instrial output value, sales output value, export value, finished procts, sales revenue, total profit, assets, liabilities, instry growth ability, profitability, solvency and operation ability
5) the main competitive enterprises in the blockchain instry. Including procts, business status (BCG), financial status, competitive strategy, market share, competitiveness (SWOT analysis), etc
6) investment and financing and M & A analysis. Including investment and financing project analysis, M & A analysis, investment region, investment return, investment structure, etc
7) blockchain instry marketing. Including marketing concept, marketing mode, marketing strategy, channel structure, proct strategy, etc
the Xueshuo innovation blockchain Technology Workstation of Lianqiao ecation online is the only approved "blockchain Technology Specialty" pilot workstation of "smart learning workshop 2020 Xueshuo innovation workstation" launched by the school planning, construction and development center of the Ministry of ecation of China. Based on providing diversified growth paths for students, the professional station promotes the reform of the training mode of the combination of professional degree research, proction, learning and research, and constructs the applied and compound talent training system.

8. Black hole effect 1: platform paradigm
the rapid rise of platform economy is not only reflected in the transformation of traditional enterprises to instrial Internet platform, but also more and more financial institutions begin to provide financial innovation services based on platform mode. With the change of technology driven and consumption behavior, enterprise proction and transaction mode, the service boundary of enterprises is becoming more and more blurred, and the win-win cooperation between platform entities has become the general trend. At the same time, it also promotes the demand side reform, as well as the innovation of customer acquisition mode and service mode

through mutual cooperation and interconnection with the platform, the two sides strive to change the original one-to-one, point-to-point single point customer acquisition mode through complementary advantages, resource sharing, mutual drainage and mutual empowerment, and innovate the batch customer acquisition and platform customer acquisition mode based on ecological chain (vertical) and instrial chain (horizontal), so as to rapidly improve the business scale and promote the platform service upgrading, Change and improve the instrial business model

black hole effect 2: ecosystem
with the mutual connection of various specialized platforms, ecology is the future development trend of the platform. From competition to cooperation, all parties involved in the specialized platform work hand in hand to build a new ecosystem based on science and technology, focusing on the scene and focusing on users. Through the digital ecosystem, it innovates the proct supply mode, extends from a single proct attribute to diversification, scene and chain, and realizes experiential service. Taking the future of insurance ecosystem as an example, when insurance procts are embedded in different ecosystems as molar engines, insurance companies provide customers with comprehensive financial services beyond the scope of insurance business, and even export technical capabilities to non-financial service companies, providing users with a seamless ecological solution

black hole effect 3: scenario management
with the rise of technology community, the technology extensibility of future economic development will continue to strengthen, and the boundaries of business, instry and enterprise activities will continue to expand. This makes the boundary of enterprise operation generalized and blurs the boundary of finance, commerce, consumption and other scenes. In addition, the trend of financial penetration into all walks of life is increasingly obvious. The core of future competition of instry chain + finance is scene. For example, the instrial chain financial platform focuses on the established transaction scenarios, and then opens up the closed loop of the instrial chain of finance, payment, settlement, warehousing and logistics. The scene of enterprise finance is business ecology, which can determine the core elements of commercial banks' financial services, such as customer portrait, transaction mode, capital flow, monitoring data and business conditions

black hole effect 4: transaction enabling
the development and application of new technologies have continuously reced transaction costs and laid a foundation for the development of big data, deep learning and other technologies; At the same time, with the promotion of open architecture technology represented by cloud computing and blockchain, the development of new platforms such as Internet, Internet of things, Internet of services and Internet of assets, new technologies change not only the way of transaction, but also the way of transaction construction. Digital economy is an economic system with transaction and account as the center, and the transaction efficiency far exceeds the proction efficiency. In the operation process of platform enterprises under the digital economy, the operation mode of "data + transaction + algorithm" is becoming more and more mainstream, and eventually tends to an "intelligent" form. Transaction will enable future business and operation

black hole effect 5: multiplier effect
multiplier effect is the value formation mechanism under the "platform + ecology" business model. In the Internet era, with the increasing number of participants and users on the platform, there are more and more trading nodes, the operating costs of various elements, links and processes in the ecosystem are reced, and the scale effect is graally emerging. The value generated by the "platform + ecology" business model is equal to the square of the number of users, that is, with the increase of the number of participants and users, "platform + ecology" business model brings greater value to each participant. In the era of digital economy, each participant will share advantageous resources and allocate scarce resources complementary to each other, so as to realize multiplier effect.
