Blockchain and transaction
first, define the
blockchain as an open network ledger. It originated from bitcoin and is the underlying technology of bitcoin. In bitcoin transactions, all the information of transaction records will be packaged into a "block" for storage. With the expansion of information exchange, one block links with another, forming a blockchain
Second, the digital currency represented by bitcoin is a point-to-point e-cash system. Among them, every transaction will broadcast to all participants in the network, and it will be recorded in the account book after repeated confirmation, which is called "blockchain". Each participant will have his own account book. In this way, when false information occurs, it can be broken through mutual verification, so as to ensure network securityin the blockchain, every node is equal, and there is no centralized management organization. This "decentralized" feature makes the blockchain do not need to rely on a third party, its operation does not need any human intervention, and it can independently conct self verification. In addition, the network of blockchain is open to the world, and anyone can query data through the public port, so the whole system is highly transparent
In a word, blockchain is a reliable database and a reliable "account book". In the future, it will be applied in cross-border payment, securities, loans, voting, etc. For example, in cross-border payment, with the security of blockchain, you can remit money to the world anytime and anywhere, which saves a lot of intermediate links and high feesthe centralized trading platform covers the whole trading process including account opening, recharge, automatic transfer and transaction withdrawal. That is to say, when we put our digital assets into the address of the trading platform, the trading platform becomes the trustee of our digital assets, and the control of the actual assets is in the hands of the trading platform
different from the centralized trading platform, the decentralized platform does not need to register an account. It only needs to undertake the responsibilities of asset custody, matching transaction and asset clearing, and does not need to provide non trading function, account system, kcy and legal currency exchange functions like the centralized exchange; On the other hand, in the decentralized trading platform, all operations are realized through smart contracts, and this transaction needs to wait for the confirmation of the blockchain before it is successfully completed
based on the above attributes, the decentralized platform avoids the moral hazard of the trading platform and the centralized attack of hackers to a certain extent. However, in this trading mode, the security of assets depends on the users themselves.
1. Jinrong China Financial Instry Co., Ltd.
this is a digital currency trading platform in Hong Kong. At the beginning of trading, it developed on the principle of safeguarding the rights and interests of customers. Similarly, in order to expand trading customers, the company launched the privilege of opening accounts free of charge, and gave customers some concessions in some festivals, This is an important reason why the enterprise takes the first place in the domestic formal blockchain platform

3. Fire coin network
this is an earlier digital currency trading platform in China, mainly trading bitcoin. As the third instry of domestic regular blockchain platform, it is the trading platform with the largest bitcoin trading volume in China. Many new digital asset trading platforms have been developed under the company, For the future development of the foundation
This is a digital currency trading platform jointly established by some digital currency enthusiasts, and its founder is Zhao CHANGPENG. In fact, this trading platform didn't attract much attention at the beginning. With the continuous operation of the company and the founder's understanding of digital currency, this enterprise has become the top four domestic regular blockchain platforms, which shows the power of this platform This is one of the most popular digital asset trading platforms in the world. There are many kinds of digital currencies for trading, and their main functions are cash out and derivative trading. They are well-known in the world's exchangesyou mean platform trading. Domestic illegal, international and mostly deceptive, you find the well-known ones. There is a special introction to blockchain network. Remember to be legal, otherwise you can't withdraw cash and it's useless to make money.
blockchain is the core supporting technology of digital cryptocurrency system represented by bitcoin. The core advantage of blockchain technology is decentralization. It can realize point-to-point transaction, coordination and cooperation based on decentralized credit in a distributed system without mutual trust by means of data encryption, time stamp, distributed consensus and economic incentive, so as to solve the common high cost, low cost and low cost of centralized institutions Low efficiency and data storage insecurity provide solutions
the application fields of blockchain include digital currency, token, finance, anti-counterfeiting traceability, privacy protection, supply chain, entertainment, etc. with the popularity of blockchain and bitcoin, many related top domain names have been registered, which has a great impact on the domain name instry.
The global well-known blockchain trading platform can refer to the following figure:
there are many similar platforms, which can be viewed on non small platforms. The market of digital assets fluctuates a lot, and no one can say for sure. Compared with the previous boom, the current market is in the cooling stage

cross border payment, supply chain finance, insurance, digital bill, asset securitization, bank credit reference and other fields
① cross border payment. Due to the characteristics of disintermediation of blockchain, openness, transparency and non tampering of transactions, no third-party payment institutions join in, which shortens the payment cycle, reces costs and increases the transparency of transactions< (2) digital bill. Blockchain has the characteristics of disintermediation, system stability, consensus mechanism and tamper proof, which can rece the operational risk, market risk and moral risk in the traditional centralized system< (3) credit management. In the field of credit investigation, blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, distrust, timestamp, asymmetric encryption and smart contract, which ensures that limited and controllable credit data sharing and verification can be realized on the basis of effective protection of data privacy< (4) asset securitization. The characteristics of blockchain disintermediation, consensus mechanism and non tampering can increase the efficiency of data flow, rece costs, monitor the real situation of assets in real time, and ensure the trust of all parties in the transaction chain on the underlying assets< (5) supply chain finance. Due to the characteristics of disintermediation, consensus mechanism and non tampering of blockchain, it does not need a third-party credit enhancement agency to verify the authenticity of various relevant vouchers on the supply chain, so as to rece the financing cost and financing cycle< (6) insurance business. With the development of blockchain technology, personal health status, accident records and other information may be uploaded to the blockchain in the future, so that insurance companies can obtain risk information more timely and accurately when customers take out insurance, so as to rece underwriting costs and improve efficiency. The sharing transparency of blockchain reces the information asymmetry and the risk of adverse selection; The characteristics of its history can be traced, which is concive to recing the moral hazard, thus recing the difficulty and cost of insurance management.
Let's suppose villagers Lao Wang and Xiao Li. Lao Wang borrowed some money from Xiao Li, who wrote it in an IOU signed by both parties. A few days later, Lao Wang denied the existence of borrowing money and claimed that Xiao Li forged the paper. Xiao Li can't argue because he finds it difficult to prove that Lao Wang actually owes him money
in this example, Lao Wang and Xiao Li are two nodes
now assuming the same scenario, there are many pairs of people trading with each other in the village. The only evidence for each pair is the IOU. If one party fails, it will be difficult to do so. Seeing this scene, the village head came up with a solution. He suggested using a common notebook for the whole village to record all the transactions. Due to the high prestige of the village head, the villagers unanimously decided to let the village head keep this important transaction book. Each transaction, the villagers go to the village head's home, let the village head witness and record, each transaction is written into a notebook, and then safely saved. That notebook can be called a database
because this notebook is very important, the village head locked it in the safe. However, there are always some problems. Sometimes, the village head will accidentally sprinkle ink on the paper, making some transaction records illegible. This is called a single point of failure. The thief knows that there is an important notebook in the safe of the village head's house. He tries his best to steal it. This is called hacking
until one day, the village head's son owed others a lot of money, so the village head secretly deleted his son's debt entry. In this way, the village head's son "does not owe money."
when the villagers knew this, they began to question the fairness and authority of the village head. So some people put forward a new idea:
abolish the power of the village head, which is called decentralization. Let all villagers keep a notebook, and the transaction records are copied and distributed, which is called distributed database. Therefore, if there are n people in the village, there are n notebooks, that is, n nodes. Every time there is a trade between any two people, all the people in the village get together and record it in their notebooks. And no one can cover the sky. This is called decentralization
they also decided that they would never delete the mentioned transactions from their notebooks, which is irreversible. For example, Lao Wang borrowed a sum of money from Xiao Li before, but in the twinkling of an eye, he wants to return the money. Then the transaction book will not delete the previous borrowing record, but write a new repayment record, so there are two records
next, let's try to break this rule. What if we bribe Lao Wang to change his notebook? It's not feasible, because the next time the villagers meet, they find that Lao Wang's notebook is different from everyone else's, so the villagers notice that Lao Wang may be engaged in an indescribable transaction, and decide to abolish Lao Wang's transaction record and kick Lao Wang out of the organization
What if you try to bribe all the villagers? It's too expensive
the characteristic of this model is that greedy people need to pay a lot to attack the rules. He will find it more profitable to follow the rules
a smart child in the village suggested that each transaction data be called "block" and linked into a "chain" in chronological order, which is called blockchain
in a few days, the safe also released the blockchain development plan. It seems that the whole world will be transformed by blockchain. Many people have a kind of blockchain application, which will give the currency transaction and foreign exchange transaction a false identity
blockchain has a natural anti censorship international nature in terms of asset transaction and circulation, and can freely and conveniently circulate without the constraint of traditional concurrent management. On the one hand, there is a great risk, so the safe also said that in China, only RMB can be used for pricing, and anything that may threaten this basis should be prohibited. In a short period of time, it may be difficult for blockchain to achieve anything at the level of foreign exchange transactions. The foreign exchange bureau mentioned the application scenarios of blockchain technology in cross-border trade financing and macro Prudential Management. This direction belongs to the pure technology application direction, which is less related to transactions. At present, it is also the direction that the top priority is to develop, using blockchain technology to optimize the real instry
how to optimize it? Because blockchain has the characteristics of traceability, distributed transparency, tamper proof, etc., for example, in cross-border trade, the data of related parties involved in trade are linked and opened to third parties (such as banks) with permission. In the past, enterprises may need more practical asset mortgage to borrow money from banks, Now, by associating reliable trade data on the blockchain, the bank can know the future cash flow of the enterprise, and can use the operation of the enterprise as asset mortgage to give credit. This will greatly optimize the allocation of assets
another example is the patient information in the hospital. The traditional scenario is that the data of each hospital is independent. Every time you go to a new hospital, you will be asked to do a booklet or a set of examinations. If there is a medical chain open to all hospitals and all information is recorded in this account book, you can avoid a lot of plication and simplify efficiency
it is clear that the priority is to develop blockchain technology to optimize and transform traditional instries, with the focus on the combination with the real economy. I am also very optimistic about this, but in terms of asset trading, the expectation of currency trading and foreign exchange trading should not be too high. After the excitement, it will be calm.
