High end forum of blockchain in 2018
WBC is the abbreviation of world blockchain conference, namely the first world blockchain conference
is a semiannual world blockchain instry event initiated and held by the world blockchain consortium,
place: Macao, China,
time: April 22-24, 2018, lasting for 3 days
this is the information I saw on the official website, I hope it can help you.
at present, all countries are living in the community of human destiny of "you have me and I have you". No country can walk out of the economic crisis alone and achieve sustainable development. Only in "innovation, vitality, linkage and inclusiveness" can we achieve common prosperity.
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.
if you look at the problem with the thinking of 30 years ago, you will think that others are crazy, but in fact you are out of date
the concept of blockchain can be traced back to the end of 2008. In the forum, a mysterious personage named "Nakamoto Tsung" published a paper "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system" and proposed the concept of blockchain for the first time
on January 3, 2009, the first block of the blockchain was born, which is called the "Founding block"
almost with the birth of blockchain technology, bitcoin became the first thing to play its role. In the following years, bitcoin graally swept the world. In 2017, its crazy market made blockchain technology known to all
the idea of blockchain first appeared in the famous bitcoin open source project. In the process of its birth and development, bitcoin project draws on the technical achievements from digital currency, cryptography, game theory, distributed system, cybernetics and other fields. It can be said that bitcoin project is good at all. As its core supporting structure, blockchain technology is a remarkable innovation achievement
blockchain is a distributed database system with different nodes, which is an open ledger system<
three characteristics of blockchain
compared with the traditional centralized scheme, blockchain technology mainly has the following three characteristics:
the core idea of blockchain is decentralization
in the blockchain system, the rights and obligations between any node are equal, and all nodes have the ability to vote with computing power, Thus, the result recognized by more than half of the nodes is guaranteed. Even under serious hacker attacks, as long as the number of nodes controlled by hackers does not exceed half of the total number of nodes in the world, the system can still operate normally and the data will not be tampered with
block chain's biggest subversive is the establishment of credit
the collective maintenance of blockchain can rece the cost
in the centralized network system, the maintenance and operation of the system depend on the operation and operation of platforms such as data center, and the cost cannot be omitted. Anyone can participate in the nodes of the blockchain. Each node can verify the correctness of the results of other nodes' records while participating in the records, which improves the maintenance efficiency and reces the cost
in a word, blockchain touches money, trust and power, which are the fundamental basis for human survival< Its development has gone through three stages
1. Brewing period: from 2009 to 2012, bitcoin and its instrial ecology are the main economic forms
2. Embryonic period: from 2012 to 2015, with bitcoin entering the public view, new wallet payment and remittance companies appeared, and blockchain economy spread to the financial field. The underlying technology of blockchain is constantly innovated. Blockchain technology is separated from bitcoin system
3. Development period: in 2016, we began to explore instry applications, and a large number of blockchain start-ups appeared. The popularity of ICO in 2017 has given blockchain unprecedented attention
"blockchain 2.0 era" is coming
the application service layer is the driving force for the sustainable development of blockchain, which is divided into three stages of application: 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0
programmable currency: blockchain 1.0 application
programmable currency is the digital currency represented by bitcoin, but it is not the legal tender of any country or region, and there is no government authority to provide guarantee for it
programmable Finance: blockchain 2.0 application& quot; Smart contract& quot; Using program algorithm to replace the concept of contract execution. This enables blockchain to expand from the original monetary system to the registration and transfer of equity, creditor's rights and property rights, the transaction and execution of securities and financial contracts, and even the financial fields of gambling and anti-counterfeiting
programmable Society: blockchain 3.0 application
blockchain is the core of value Internet, which can confirm, measure and store the property rights of information and bytes representing value in each Internet. It can not only record the transactions of the financial instry, but also record almost anything valuable that can be expressed in the form of code. Its application can be extended to any field with demand, and then to the whole society
at present, the application of blockchain has begun to surpass bitcoin (blockchain 1.0), enter the era of blockchain 1.5, and transition to the financial field (blockchain 2.0)
in the next 3-5 years, blockchain may go beyond the financial field and enter the field of social notarization and intelligence (blockchain 3.0), including identity authentication, notarization, arbitration, audit, domain name, logistics, medical care, mail, visa, voting and other fields. Its application scope will be expanded to the whole society, and blockchain technology is likely to become a new technology& quot; All things are connected& quot; It's the lowest level protocol
at present, blockchain technology has been recognized by the world, and its development has become an inevitable trend. Accompanied by more people's attention, "in the next 30 years, new technologies will be integrated into all aspects of traditional instries, and human society will turn upside down. No matter who you are, no matter where you are, all of us will be a part of this great change."
this is the current situation. Blockchain has given the post-90s an opportunity. However, if you want to control blockchain technology without being affected by negative factors, the most important thing is to have a clear understanding of it, whether it is regulators, researchers, speculators or bystanders
it's time to devote more energy to blockchain technology
in China, the average annual salary of blockchain positions has reached more than 300000, and that of some enterprises has reached more than 1 million. The monthly salary of blockchain instry graates in Beijing, Shanghai and other places has exceeded 20K! If the post-90s seize the bonus of the times, they may become the next Alibaba in the future! If you miss it, you may regret it for ten years.
firstly, the development of blockchain is still at an early stage; secondly, the uncertainty in the blockchain instry is manifested in the aspects of supervision and so on. Although many institutions of the national government are committed to the establishment of blockchain instry standards, blockchain as a new thing, to formulate relevant laws and regulations, still need to be discussed and studied by many parties
when it comes to blockchain forums, there are Babbitt, blockchain home, coin world, Zhiqu chain and so on. Blockchain forum which is good, you need to practice more, after all, everyone has different views. I hope the above content can help you.
On 19, 2018, "global media blockchain summit" was held in the financial hall of the Hong Kong stock exchange. The summit gathered more than 100 global media and dozens of top experts in the instry. At the meeting, we witnessed the establishment of the global media blockchain Alliance (bimg) and the release of bimg Hong Kong initiative, and discussed in depth the development prospect and instry trend of blockchain
member of the journalism and communication discipline evaluation group of the Academic Degrees Committee of the State Council Professor Yu Guoming, executive director of School of Journalism and communication of Beijing Normal University, delivered a keynote speech entitled "the value of mainstream media in the tide of technology" at the "2018 global media blockchain summit"
Yu Guoming said: "for the whole social communication in China and other major countries and regions in the world, including the process of blockchain construction, development In terms of the communication ecology in the process of evolution, the value of traditional mainstream media should also be indispensable. Although its share has really declined worryingly, such responsibility and value bearing are still very important. "
Yu Guoming further pointed out that traditional mainstream media's professional adherence, social status conferring function and local advantages are its great advantages. At the same time, with the development of social development and Internet technology, blockchain is not only a technology, but also a way to reorganize the society to a greater extent. Yu Guoming said: "in the words of Marx a hundred years ago, it is a technological form on top of such a new Internet technology as" Free Alliance of free people. ". To a large extent, it is a new form of social evolution after the Internet technology activates the indivial. Such a new form needs the mainstream media to play an important role in it, because in the process of such a new social evolution as blockchain, it is embodied in the so-called emergent evolution in system science, that is to say, the micro force and micro value released by Internet technology is a qualitative change in the development process and direction, which is a kind of social development A qualitative turning point in the development of the field, instry and market. "in the presence of all guests, the global media blockchain Alliance (bimg) was officially established at the meeting. Ding Laibin, Secretary General of the alliance, pointed out in his speech that the blockchain is really using the mechanism to let people see some changes that may occur in the future, and these changes may subvert the current state and make the social efficiency leap forward. In this process, the media function can not be absent, should play a supervisory role, exert a strong media supervision role, let investors distinguish right from wrong
Ding Laibin said: "the media is the public knowledge and conscience of the society and the supervisor of the development of the instry. To play this role well, we should be close to the game and stand where we can hear the gunfire. Therefore, if there is still a little distance between traditional media and blockchain before, let's eliminate this distance at today's summit. The listing of any enterprise is not the end, but the starting point. It is the same for many blockchain projects. From the beginning to the development, it also needs a lot of disclosure and planning, so that the enterprise can be presented to all the public and investors without reservation. It should be open and transparent, from the beginning to the end. Only in this way can the instry grow more healthily and more rapidly. "in the bimg Hong Kong initiative released at the event, Ding Laibin called on the media to join hands and make joint efforts to create a fair, just, honest, dynamic, harmonious and orderly instry public opinion environment; At the same time, the media should be encouraged to be open and inclusive, advanced in communication, and ecological innovation in information dissemination in the blockchain field, so as to continuously provide high-grade, high-quality information and services
