Is blockchain finance a fraud

3.

Blockchain is a new technology, not a disguised form of MLM. It is just claimed by many MLM organizations as "blockchain". In fact, there is no technology. It's just a practice of MLM under the name of "blockchain". The state has issued several announcements to crack down on this kind of MLM. The following is the Xinhua news report on MLM of blockchain:

blockchain is not equal to virtual currency, but also has security risks. Behind the popularity, there is exaggeration with "ulterior motives". Only by removing the flashiness, can the blockchain return to its real application value

invest 80000 yuan, change to 800000 yuan after three months? Shenzhen police cracked a huge fund-raising fraud. Under the guise of blockchain concept and 10 times income, thousands of investors were deeply involved in the case, involving up to 307 million yuan. Under the "veil of mystery" of the blockchain, the illegal elements have taken advantage of their own tricks, and the blockchain has become a "signboard" of economic crimes such as fraud and pyramid selling

why is the blockchain repeatedly "misused" by illegal activities such as pyramid selling fraud? In addition to "unknown", what is the "function" of blockchain technology itself? Since the beginning of this year, with the increase of supervision and the cooling of currency speculation, new opportunities have been brought to the development of blockchain. How about the implementation of blockchain commercial "application" The reporter of outlook news weekly recently concted an investigation

when the three-month "capital release period" promised by the trading platform expired and the staff began to "kick" in the QQ group, Tang Haiyan, who lives in Bao'an District of Shenzhen City, realized that she might have been cheated

previously, Tang Haiyan invested 80000 yuan to buy a virtual currency called "ordinary silver coin" under the introction of her classmates“ The other side said that this currency is the most advanced blockchain technology at present, with Tibetan tea as collateral. He also showed me the "technical white paper". I didn't understand blockchain, so I didn't read it carefully. "

although she doesn't know about blockchain and virtual currency, the high investment income makes Tang Haiyan full of expectations. She told reporters that companies issuing "ordinary silver coins" will regularly split the virtual currency according to the ratio of 1:10, which means that each split will make the value of "ordinary silver coins" in the hands of investors expand 10 times. As long as after a split, her investment of 80000 yuan is equivalent to the purchase of 800000 yuan worth of "ordinary silver coins", which can be sold on the trading platform to obtain huge profits

according to the rules of the trading platform, the newly purchased "ordinary silver coin" cannot be traded immediately, and it must be frozen on the platform for three months before it can enter the "release period". However, after three months, not only did Tang Haiyan not wait for the assets to double, but the 80000 yuan frozen on the platform could not be used for trading

"other investors began to question the authenticity of this investment in QQ group. As a result, the staff of the company kicked these investors out one by one, which made me feel bad." She said

The fact also proves Tang HaiYan's intuition. At the end of March 2018, Shenzhen police detected a huge fund-raising fraud, with the amount of fraud funds as high as 307 million yuan. In this case, Shenzhen Puyin blockchain Group Co., Ltd. involved in the case issued virtual currency in the mode of "blockchain + Tibetan tea" to obtain public deposits. Tang Haiyan was one of the thousands of victims

Shenzhen police investigation found that the company claimed that investors could buy and sell "ordinary silver coins" on the virtual trading platform "jucoin net" to earn a price difference

. In fact, the change of its trading price is that the company used investors' investment funds for behind the scenes operation, and once raised the price of "ordinary silver coin" from 0.5 yuan to 10 yuan, so that investors can taste some sweetness. When a large number of investors entered the market, the company continued to cash out through malicious manipulation of the price trend of "ordinary silver coin", which eventually led to the worthlessness of "ordinary silver coin" in the hands of investors

since 2018, engaging in fraud and pyramid selling under the banner of blockchain has become a common "routine" in new criminal tactics. In April 2018, Jinan police dropped a pyramid selling Gang under the guise of "western development", "national poverty alleviation", "original stocks", "blockchain" and "e-commerce", arrested more than 10 major suspects, frozen more than 100 accounts involved, and seized more than 300 million yuan of funds involved

according to Jinan police, huileyi e-commerce company designed a fake virtual disk on the Internet on the ground that the country is vigorously developing the big data instry, and released a variety of virtual currencies such as "precious currency" and "precious currency"

under the guise of giving away, they presented a certain amount of virtual currency to the New MLM staff, with the price of tens of yuan each. Then, through artificial manipulation, they appreciated the virtual currency all the way to more than 100 yuan or even hundreds of yuan, attracting people who did not know the truth to join. Finally, they "cut leeks" through the periodic fluctuation of the so-called "devaluation" of virtual currency, Finally, the purpose of seeking illegal interests is achieved

in Xi'an, a few days ago, the local police successfully cracked a huge network pyramid selling case under the banner of blockchain. According to the police, the suspect, Zheng Mou, has paid a high salary to the 9 network members, such as Zhang and Lee. Since March 28, 2018, he has gathered pyramid selling and network pyramid selling as a means to sell the virtual Datang coins at the consumption era network platform at the price of 3 yuan each, and manipulate the appreciation rate; p>

at the same time, promotion meetings were held in many cities at home and abroad to attract members. According to the development of members, 28 level agents were set up. In just 18 days, the gang developed more than 13000 registered members. At present, it has been found that the case involves 31 provinces, cities and autonomous regions in China, and the fund involved is as high as 86 million yuan

according to Tencent's 2017 pyramid selling situation awareness white paper released by Tencent security joint laboratory, in recent years, all kinds of overseas capital disk, virtual currency and ICO (initial public offering token financing of blockchain project) projects have emerged in an endless stream, which hide many risks such as illegal issuance, untrue projects, cross-border money laundering, fraud and pyramid selling, As a result, a large number of funds flow overseas. Once the market collapses, runs away or loses contact, investors often have no way to complain and the losses are difficult to recover. For example, Baichuan coin, mark coin, beta coin, dark coin, etc

the reporter of lookout Newsweek interviewed in Guangdong, Shandong, Shanghai and other places and learned that most people know that the concept of blockchain is very popular, but they "don't know where it is", and there are different opinions on the specific functions of blockchain: some people think it is used for "investment and financing", "buying and selling currency", while others think it is "a major invention of the same magnitude as the steam engine", Some entrepreneurs are even more eager to seize this "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rich."

many people in the instry said that it is precisely because people have many misunderstandings about blockchain that criminals have opportunities to fish in troubled waters and mislead investors

First, blockchain is not equal to virtual currency. By the end of last year, the number of domestic ICO participants and the total volume of transactions have doubled, a large number of digital currency exchanges have fled overseas, and the agent investment mode has involved more ordinary people in high-risk investment

in many instries, we media and celebrities form interest alliances with issuers and digital exchanges to endorse and create public opinion for the "air currency" project. In December last year, nine departments including the people's Bank of China identified ICO as "suspected of illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid selling and other illegal and criminal activities"

in the interview, many people told our reporter that the existence of token has built a set of rights and interests mechanism for the development of blockchain technology, which is indispensable for stimulating the prosperity of blockchain applications“ The market practice in the past five years has proved that blockchain applications without equity mechanism are just like market economy without computers connected to the Internet and money, with greatly reced application scenarios and development speed. " An investor in Shanghai said

in fact, the token represented by bitcoin is only one of the earliest procts to verify the blockchain technology, and the two can not be equated, and the existence of token has obviously negative effects on the development of blockchain

Xiao Wei, chief engineer of network blockchain, told this reporter that the myth of ICO's sudden wealth shakes the R & D concentration of blockchain technical talents, and the myth of "sudden wealth" with hundreds of times of return tests the patience of blockchain technical R & D talents“ Many of the "comrades in arms" in the circle who used to do research and development of blockchain technology have gone to issue coins, and now few of them can insist on doing research and development and application of technology. "

Xu zewei, Secretary of the Party committee of Beijing Internet Finance Instry Association, said that under the background of China's ban on ICO, many domestic start-ups promoting blockchain applications are "selling dog meat with sheep's pawn" and financing through concept packaging of worthless tokens“ ICO has polluted the good atmosphere of innovation and entrepreneurship, and created a kind of speculative proct. Many young people are not thinking about entrepreneurship, but are thinking about issuing money, which makes us have the illusion of getting rich overnight. "

at present, more and more people in the instry begin to think about whether the development of blockchain must rely on the issuance of tokens to achieve incentives. Guo Dagang, Secretary General of Beijing Internet Finance Instry Association, told this reporter that the so-called incentive mechanism is only the theoretical basis for the project party to issue tokens for itself. Huo Xuewen, director of Beijing Municipal Bureau of financial work, also believes that if blockchain does not get rid of the dilemma of issuing currency, it will never find a legal landing mechanism

secondly, blockchain is not omnipotent and its security is at risk. Blockchain is generally considered to achieve three functions:

first, the data stored on the blockchain can not be tampered or forged, and the data has high credibility and credibility; Second, the whole process of the transaction can be traced, which can achieve accurate responsibility tracking; Third, the embedded smart contract in the blockchain can be executed automatically based on the contract, so as to improve work efficiency and rece the risk of default. It is generally believed that blockchain has broad application prospects in finance, logistics, trade and other fields

in fact, blockchain is not omnipotent, and its function has many limitations. It is generally believed that, according to the characteristics of cryptography, in order to tamper or falsify in the blockchain, more than 51% of the nodes need to be controlled in theory. When there are enough nodes in the blockchain, it is difficult to tamper with the trust creation mechanism widely participated by the public

However, in reality, digital currency exchanges are frequently attacked or even stolen. On June 20, 2018, bithumb exchange of South Korea announced on its official website that the exchange had been attacked by hackers and stolen 35 billion won, about 32 million US dollars of cryptocurrency

Ji Xinhua, known as the first generation of "hackers" in China, said that the blockchain will continue to face attacks, and the process of uploading data to the blockchain is prone to information leakage. Some people in the instry worry that once the super computing power of quantum computing is realized, it will also have a direct impact on the blockchain

Zhao Yao, a special researcher of the Institute of finance of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told this reporter that the academic community has confirmed as early as 2013 that the blockchain is not perfect and there are many "cheating" strategies. As long as there are enough economic incentives, controlling attacks of more than 51% nodes does not only exist in theory

Zeng Guang, Secretary General of Shenzhen Internet Finance Association, said that the blockchain technology itself does not have the ability to do so

Blockchain finance is actually the application of blockchain technology in the financial field

blockchain is an underlying technology based on bitcoin, and its essence is actually a decentralized trust mechanism. Through sharing in distributed nodes to maintain a sustainable database, the security and accuracy of information can be achieved. The application of this technology can solve the trust and security problems in the transaction, and the blockchain technology has become an optional direction for the future upgrading of the financial instry. Through the blockchain, both parties of the transaction can carry out economic activities without the help of the third-party credit intermediary, so as to rece the cost of the global transfer of assets

extended data:

since 2016, the major financial giants have also heard the news and launched blockchain innovation projects one after another to explore the possibility of applying blockchain technology in various financial scenarios. In particular, Puyin group took the lead in creating a "blockchain +" standard digital currency. Standard digital currency refers to the process of assets identification, evaluation, right confirmation and insurance completed by a third party organization. After careful digital algorithm, it is written into the blockchain to form the standard corresponding relationship between assets and digital currency, which is called standard digital currency

in order to realize the great leap forward development of blockchain finance, promote the new development of China's economy, accelerate the global asset circulation, and realize the dream of rejuvenation that has been struggling for generations, Puyin group will hold the Guiyang strategic development ceremony of Puyin blockchain finance in Guizhou on December 9, 2016, at which the discussion on the realization of digital circulation of assets, block chain financial transaction mode, and block chain financial transaction mode will be held It also discusses the application of blockchain service and social public instry

5. All are non-stop circles. If you are greedy, it's easy to be fooled. Xiaowan's entertainment is OK. If you look at some of them in the early stage, you may not be able to see them back. Look at the contract. The electronic version must be retained. The principal can be returned, not frozen for a long time.

6. Ignore is directly added to the panel, and ultimately participate in the damage settlement
that is, the panel physical attack = {(weapon physical attack power + physical attack power enchant + double attack left slot + pet and all kinds of buff basic attack power bonus) x (1 + Weapon Mastery ratio)} x (1 + power) ÷ 250) + ignore physical attack 2]
actual attack settlement = basic attack ×[ 1 + (self is strong - monster is anti) ÷ 220] x skill percentage x monster physical defense damage rection x physical attack class increase rate + ignore attack x skill percentage x physical attack class increase rate X map forced damage rection

7. When it comes to blockchain, we have to talk about bitcoin. Most people in the market begin to recognize bitcoin through its market influence, because bitcoin was born on the basis of blockchain technology. Blockchain is simply an innovative application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. Applying this technology to the transaction of virtual currency can make each transaction proce a corresponding data block, so as to ensure the authenticity of information. The biggest advantage is that it cannot be forged, It solves the trust problem in data transaction environment

of course, as blockchain technology becomes more and more mature and stable, it will be more and more applied in various real instry business scenarios, including finance, social communication, Internet of things, e-commerce, games and securities trading, For example, our project of "intelligent system for ecological chain of structural hole investment and financing" is the first innovative application of this technology in the field of investment and financing. However, from the purely technical level, the main purpose of blockchain is to ensure the safety of data operation, which is the biggest advantage of this technology. So what is the relationship between blockchain technology and virtual currency? Take bitcoin as an example. Bitcoin is a virtual currency based on blockchain technology and proced through a large number of algorithms. Due to its special algorithm and the anti-counterfeiting function of blockchain technology, the total number of bitcoin will remain unchanged at 21 million. It is precisely because things are rare that bitcoin is loved by many people

so why are there a lot of virtual currency scams under the banner of blockchain in the market today? This is because these so-called innovative application companies of blockchain issue virtual currencies. Although they claim that the number of virtual currencies is very limited in the market promotion, and they can make investors earn a price difference by raising the price through currency speculation, in essence, the issuance of their virtual currencies is controlled by their companies and can be changed according to their own wishes and needs, The purpose is to make illegal profits. In the market, many investors who don't know the truth are cheated because they lack the knowledge of financial investment. They are in the spirit of speculation to earn profit. Once they are put in, these so-called virtual currencies will be manipulated by the company in the background, resulting in the loss of money. When investors enter into such a game, they often change from the original intention of speculation to gambling. When they buy at a high price and see that the price continues to fall, they will naturally make up their positions and make additional investment when there is a rebound. In this way, they are repeatedly cleaned up and cut leeks. Finally, they sink deeper and deeper and lose their property. It is precisely because the price is controlled by the company, Therefore, these companies make huge profits, even beyond the imagination of ordinary people. What we want to say about this market phenomenon is that it is not the fault of blockchain technology itself, but that it is caused by some illegal people in the market who stealthily changed the concept, took advantage of people's lack of professional knowledge of blockchain technology and financial investment, and grasped the psychology of greed for wealth< br />
​

the existence of these black sheep in the market confuses the public and disturbs the market. As a result, the innovative application of business scenarios based on blockchain technology has brought serious practical obstacles to the healthy development of social economy and value creation of entrepreneurial and innovative projects, such as the "structural hole investment and Financing Ecological Chain Intelligent System" project, In fact, it is based on the innovative application of blockchain + AI + OKR and other technologies in the investment and financing ecological business scenario, and redefines the investment and financing business model. The purpose is to provide enabling services for the three groups of project parties, resource providers and investors in the ecological chain to create value and fulfill value transactions, so as to significantly improve the success rate of investment and financing for the three groups of customers, without issuing virtual currency, Without manipulating the price of the virtual money market, it is a good project for the healthy development of the social economy, which is also affected. It is really painful and difficult, but it has nothing to do, and it can only bear the hardships silently. Today's view is: blockchain fraud is guilty, and blockchain technology cannot be innocent.
