The hottest blockchain in 2018
in the early stage of the development of the blockchain instry, many enterprises and institutions formed a blockchain alliance to share the research results of blockchain technology and seek wider application of blockchain technology
in the past two years, blockchain alliances have emerged. As of July 2017, there are R3 composed of more than 40 international banks, hyperledger initiated by Linux foundation, Zhongguancun blockchain Instry Alliance located in the core hinterland of China's Internet, China ledger alliance jointly initiated by 11 institutions, gold chain alliance jointly established by 25 financial institutions, and so on Russia's blockchain alliance, known as "Russian version R3", seeks to combine with micro finance, Qianhai international blockchain ecosphere alliance led by Shenzhen Qianhai administration, and Lujiazui blockchain Financial Development Alliance in Lujiazui
many organizations and talents join to promote the vigorous development of blockchain.
Blockchain instry has great growth potential, and five aspects promote the healthy development of Technology Virtual reality and other technologies are another emerging technology that will have a significant impact on the future, which is expected to promote human beings from the era of information internet to the era of value Internet
some countries and regions in the United States, Japan and the European Union have promoted the development of blockchain as an important national development strategy, and vigorously promoted the development and application of blockchain technology. China also attaches great importance to the technological innovation and instrial development of blockchain. With the joint participation of it and other enterprises, a large number of new enterprises, new procts, new models and new applications have emerged. The application of blockchain in the fields of finance, government affairs, energy, medical and other instries has graally expanded, and is becoming an important force to drive the technological proct innovation and instrial transformation of various instries
the development of blockchain can be divided into three stages, namely, blockchain 1.0, represented by bitcoin and related financial infrastructure applications, and blockchain 2.0, represented by smart contract. At present, it is graally moving towards blockchain 3.0, which is based on blockchain technology and more complex in-depth application of smart contract
statistical analysis of blockchain investment and financing in the first half of the year. According to the statistical data of in depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of China's blockchain instry published by foresight Instry Research Institute, in the first half of 2018, the amount of financing in the blockchain field was about 10.7 billion, with a year-on-year growth rate of 1426% compared with the same period in 2017; The number of investment and financing events in the field of blockchain has reached 205, and it is expected that the investment in the field of blockchain will usher in another peak this year
according to the distribution of investment and financing rounds in China's blockchain field, the proportion of investment rounds in the start-up period (before round b) is more than 95%, with the joint investment of many instry pioneers, and most enterprises are still running around
statistics and growth of blockchain investment and financing in the first half of 2014-2018
data source: China attaches great importance to the development and application of blockchain technology. Driven by multiple forces such as policy, technology and market, the pace of blockchain innovation has been accelerating. It has been deeply integrated with cloud computing, big data, Internet of things and other technologies. The scope of exploration and application has also expanded from digital assets to supply chain management, intelligent manufacturing, instrial Internet, social welfare, right protection and other fields
five aspects to promote the healthy development of blockchain technology, promote the high-quality development of digital economy
1, in-depth study and grasp the development trend of blockchain technology and instry. Pay close attention to the international development frontier, jointly promote the research of blockchain related technology and instry, promote the standardization of blockchain development instry behavior, and create a good development environment
2. Strengthen the construction of core technology capacity of blockchain
establish and improve the collaborative promotion mechanism among backbone enterprises, universities and research institutions, guide it enterprises to strengthen technical reserves, accelerate the breakthrough of key core technologies, and improve the performance, efficiency and security of blockchain
3. Support entrepreneurship and innovation in the field of blockchain
encourage cross-border integration between blockchain enterprises and user units, guide instry organizations to establish public service platforms, support third-party organizations to carry out evaluation and detection of blockchain services, promote rich instrial applications of blockchain, and serve the transformation and upgrading of the real economy
4. Actively build and improve the blockchain standard system
accelerate the development and application of key standards, and graally build a perfect standard system. Actively connect with ITU, ISO and other international standards organizations, substantially participate in more international standardization work, and actively contribute more "Chinese power"
5. Accelerate the improvement of the policy environment for blockchain development
support qualified enterprises to carry out application innovation and mode innovation, and guide and encourage enterprises, universities and scientific research institutes to jointly cultivate professional talents needed for blockchain development. Support eligible blockchain enterprises to enjoy the preferential tax policies of the state to support the development of software instry and small and medium-sized enterprises
the instrial scale is small, but the growth potential is huge
the blockchain economy is on the eve of the outbreak period. The financial instry is relatively widely used, and the application of other instries has also entered the stage of exploration and development. It is estimated that from 2017 to 2022, the direct market value of blockchain will increase from US $410 million to US $7.68 billion, with a compound annual growth rate of 79.6%. It is estimated that all kinds of extended business based on blockchain will reach US $100 billion in 2020
instry application areas continue to expand
the financial instry takes the lead in the application of blockchain technology, and many financial applications have been implemented; Medical instry is an important area of blockchain application, which can better protect privacy, improve service quality and management efficiency; The demand of social authentication for blockchain is rising rapidly to solve the proof problem caused by information asymmetry; The application of blockchain technology in communication, supply chain and other fields is expanding rapidly
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.
The blockchain project is definitely the best one in terms of mining. This project is also the most popular and risk-free one in blockchain projects. Moreover, mining is also the cornerstone of blockchain and plays an important role in the blockchain instry
hayu miner is a good miner in the mining instry. You can experience hayu miner , and you must make a good choice of blockchain projects, otherwise you will lose all your money
At present, there are quite a lot of MSB licenses in the United States. The bigger ones are Huo coin, coin an, and the smaller domestic second and third tier exchanges are all licensed. At present, the licenses are also a trend in the future. They are all moving towards standardization, and there are more than 20 applications for licenses every month
for example: US MSB, Estonia, Australia
for us dollar, you can tell us about it, December 2nd
Euro 0.75, pound sterling 0.5, Australian dollar 1.27, RMB 7.83, Malaysian dollar 3.59, Indonesia 9165, Singapore dollar 1.54, New Zealand 1.45, Vietnam 16000, Korean won 928, Thai baht 35.8, Philippines 49.5, Japanese yen 115, US $1
not very accurate, just make do with it
of course there are changes, every day is changing
since 2016, the frequency and amount of investment and financing in China's blockchain field have increased dramatically. According to the statistical data of "in depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of blockchain instry" released by foresight Instry Research Institute, in the first half of 2018, the amount of financing in the blockchain field was about 10.7 billion, with a year-on-year growth rate of 1426% compared with the same period in 2017; The number of investment and financing events in the field of blockchain has reached 205, and it is expected that the investment in the field of blockchain will usher in another peak this year
judging from the distribution of investment and financing rounds in China's blockchain field, the proportion of investment rounds in the start-up period (before round b) is more than 95%. There are many instry pioneers participating in the investment, and most of the enterprises are still running around.
