Us blockchain trends
driven by policy and market, China's blockchain related instries are expected to move from virtual to real
in the context of rapid development of blockchain, China should comply with the needs of globalization, keep up with the international pace, and actively promote the research, standardization and instrialization development of domestic blockchain related fields. Compared with the increasingly stringent supervision of bitcoin and other digital currencies, the support and encouragement of blockchain technology has reached a consensus in the world, and the domestic blockchain technology will also receive national and local policy support in the next few years. Driven by policy and market, blockchain related instries are expected to move from virtual to real, and blockchain technology will accelerate the exploration of possible application scenarios< According to the data of the "in depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of blockchain instry" released by foresight Instry Research Institute, the global blockchain market scale is expected to increase from US $411.5 million in 2017 to US $7683.7 million in 2022, with a compound annual growth rate of 79.6%. In view of the wide application range of distributed ledger, the rising market value of cryptocurrency, the strong demand for improving transparency, security, efficiency and simplifying process, and the popularity of blockchain as a service (
baas), the blockchain market will expand rapidly. In addition, communication services, international trade, supply chain management, programming platform, payment, smart contract, digital authentication and so on are also in urgent need of blockchain technology, which will create a lot of growth opportunities
as an integrated application of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other technologies, blockchain has become a research hotspot of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and other international organizations as well as many national governments in recent years, and the instry has also increased investment. At present, the application of blockchain has extended to the Internet of things, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain management, digital asset trading and other fields, which will bring new opportunities for the development of cloud computing, big data, mobile Internet and other new generation information technology, and have the ability to trigger a new round of technological innovation and instrial change
by 2022, the payment sector may occupy the largest share of the blockchain market
relying on blockchain technology, real-time payment of assets can be realized, which not only has the characteristics of tamper proof and digital authentication, but also can greatly save the cost of settlement for financial institutions and banks. In addition, blockchain makes payment automation possible, eliminates the need for middlemen, and saves labor costs and time for buyers and sellers. Thanks to the above advantages, it is expected that the payment sector will be the heaviest one in the whole blockchain market
the fastest growing region will be the Asia Pacific region.
blockchain service providers in the Asia Pacific region are good at designing and developing cryptocurrency platforms with friendly interface, cost saving and high speed, and extending the application of blockchain in many instries. Both large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises are actively seeking risk financing, investing in and developing the most cutting-edge blockchain technology. In addition, the real estate instry of some countries in the Asia Pacific region is expected to rapidly transform from translucency to full transparency, which also helps to enhance the development prospects of blockchain in the Asia Pacific region.
in terms of currency price, the bull market should still be in 2019 as a whole, because bears are long and cattle are short
there will be more breakthroughs and developments in technology and commercial applications in 2019.

the research process of instry technology is constantly advancing
in recent years, the research process of global blockchain technology has accelerated, and the number of instry patent applications has increased rapidly. According to sopat statistics, from 2014 to 2018, the number of global blockchain patents continued to rise, and by 2018, the number of global blockchain patent applications had reached 2966. Among them, the number of patents in China's blockchain in 2018 accounted for 33.33% of the total number of patents in 2014, and increased to 82.1% in 2018
however, despite the continuous development and innovation of global blockchain technology in recent years, there is no universal evaluation standard and system to specify the technical performance, efficiency, scalability, security and other issues of blockchain. On the whole, blockchain technology needs further breakthrough
China's blockchain technology tends to serve applications
in terms of technology, the core of China's blockchain technology is to serve physical applications, while the US blockchain technology is still solving the potential problems of blockchain, which leads to the domestic focus on alliance chain applications, We hope to optimize the blockchain technology to meet the requirements of high concurrency applications; Foreign countries focus on the application of public chain, and carry out the optimization and innovation of core technology according to the characteristics of public chain. In terms of application, domestic blockchain focuses on the application of service instry and tends to be "non currency blockchain"; Most of the U.S. is a public chain, which tends to the circulation of digital assets
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.
Star... Light... Blockchain Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. was established in 2016. At present, it has more than 100 employees. It is a high-tech enterprise with Internet innovation mode software procts and solutions as the core, standardized management and rapid development 160;
In 2014, Barry Silbert, founder of secondmarket, separated the bitcoin investment fund from the original company and established grayscale investments
in 2015, gray investment company was merged into the newly established digital currency group (DCG). DCG is not only focused on digital currency and blockchain investment, but also an incubator for start-ups. In addition to gray investment company, DCG also has two subsidiaries, namely, genesis, a cryptocurrency OTC broker, coindesk, a blockchain news and information website, and more than 150 other blockchain companies / projects invested
after years of development, gray investment company has become the largest cryptocurrency asset management company in the world, and its cryptocurrency trust scale has reached US $2.58 billion
{rrrrrrr}
extended information:
in 2013, Barry Silbert, the founder, convinced the board of directors of secondmarket company to set up a bitcoin investment fund called bitcoin investment trust, which is the predecessor of gray scale bitcoin trust. It was not until September 2017 that gray investment's bitcoin trust fund began to grow explosively
it has become the largest bitcoin investment trust in the world, with more than 408500 bitcoins, nearly 2% of the total. In addition to bitcoin trust funds, gray investment company also launched BCH, ETH, etc, horizon, LTC, XLM, XRP and Zec trust funds, as well as grayscale digital large capital fund with mainstream currencies. Gray investment company's cryptocurrency trust procts provide convenience for institutional users to purchase cryptocurrency
The sudden epidemic situation has pressed the "pause" button for many instries, but science and technology is the most effective means to fight against disasters. Blockchain technology has realized the combination with finance, logistics, supply chain, government affairs, public welfare, urban management and other application fields. At the same time, e to the imperfect development of technology, the role of blockchain in the prevention and control of the epidemic is very limited, so we need to explore deeper scenario applications
from the survey data, the main application directions of instrial blockchain in the post epidemic period include: traceability, financial (including insurance) supervision, collaborative sharing. Deposit certificate, digitization, credit investigation, digital asset transaction, etc
in the main application direction of instrial blockchain in the post epidemic period, more than 70% of enterprises choose traceability and financial (including insurance) supervision, in addition to collaborative sharing and certificate deposit. Digital also has more than 60% of the enterprise choice, compared with the low choice rate of credit reference and digital asset transaction, in which the choice rate of digital asset transaction is less than 50%, only 48%
to avoid risks and promote the healthy development of instrial blockchain
as an emerging technology development direction and instrial development field, blockchain has been widely concerned. The application of instrial blockchain is accelerating, which is mainly reflected in two aspects:
first, in the past, open source systems were represented in technology, and most of them were open source projects oriented to consumers, but now many projects oriented to instry and enterprise characteristics have been added; At the same time, more and more enterprises such as Internet giants and high-tech enterprises begin to enter this field, indicating that the era of instrial blockchain has come
secondly, the emergence of blockchain reces the threshold of trust and the cost of realization, enabling some financial and trade scenarios that could not be realized before to be realized. In this way, some new financial forms can be derived, providing more space for financial innovation
although the application of instrial blockchain is speeding up, it is still in an early stage of development. This is mainly reflected in the fact that blockchain technology alone can not fully solve the trust problems and information island problems between entities, and the emergence of blockchain technology also puts forward new problems for the current law and regulation
because of its decentralized and difficult to tamper with characteristics, blockchain has become a comprehensive subject driven by technology and deeply affecting economy, finance, society, organizational form and governance. In addition, blockchain technology is not yet fully mature in system stability, application security, business model and other aspects, which puts forward requirements for privacy protection and storage capacity of data on the chain
it should be noted that the current blockchain instry has been involved in many technical fields such as it, communication, security, cryptography and so on. What it needs is a kind of compound talents, which poses new challenges to personnel training and school ecation
the short-term impact of blockchain should be treated calmly to avoid overestimation. At the same time, it is necessary to further strengthen laws and regulations and supervision to avoid the possible risks of blockchain technology, so as to promote the healthy development of instrial blockchain

trend 1: blockchain technology is constantly updated and is developing in the direction of great integration
blockchain is a blockchain structure, which completes the clarity of ownership through encryption, and establishes trust through a large number of rendant storage at low cost, so the storage efficiency is very low. So many systems export the existing blockchain data to external storage
trend 2: the privacy protection mechanism of blockchain is diverse, which has become a key lubricant to activate commercial applications
there are many kinds of privacy protection, such as ring signature, multi signature, mixer, zero knowledge proof, homomorphic encryption and so on. MIT Technology Review rated perfect privacy protection as one of the top 10 breakthrough technologies, because privacy protection is a good lubricant for blockchain
trend 3: the development process of blockchain instry has been accelerated, and it has entered the theme of "from virtual to real"
it can be said that the blockchain has completed a lot of landing. With the acceleration of the development process of blockchain instry, the large-scale commercial application of blockchain technology in medical, judicial, instrial, energy and other fields will be started in the future
in addition, blockchain has a good development trend in games, such as Tencent's "catching demons together", the network's "universe", Zhongan Huanyu's "Dr dragon hunt", Netease's "Netease planet", and so on.
