Blockchain 40

1.

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

2. Blockchain service network is an Internet like blockchain infrastructure. It is the world's first blockchain service network based on blockchain technology and reflecting the second generation of intelligent Internet. It is also the largest alliance chain in the world. It provides high-level technical solutions for the development of smart city and digital economy in China Credible service carrier and infrastructure of modern social governance system
at present, the overall planning and top-level design of the blockchain service network have been completed, and the construction of more than 40 public city nodes in 31 provinces and autonomous regions has been completed. The blockchain service network will be tested internally for half a year. In the future, China UnionPay, together with the state information center, China Mobile and other partners, will actively promote security and function testing, technical architecture optimization, business operation scheme formulation, basic service capacity building, innovative application promotion and other work, and finally realize the commercial operation of the whole system
interested developers can view it on the official website of the blockchain service network.

3. Blockchain is its underlying application technology, and digital currency is its currency. Its practical application has little impact on the fluctuation of digital currency
when the economy is stable, it doesn't rise. When the economy is in turmoil, people begin to store digital currency. Of course, it is convenient for some corrupt elements
now the economy is stable, the digital currency is in a bear market, the financial crisis, the crisis, and only when there is a crisis can there be an opportunity. At that time, the rapid growth of bitcoin was the opportunity in the financial crisis. Don't worry, there will be a bull market in digital currency, which is expected to come in the second half of next year

- original title: market analysis of China's blockchain instry in 2019: enabling various instries to accelerate the application landing, there will be two opportunities for future applications

2019 - blockchain "mainstream application year"

since August 2018, the electronic invoice of blockchain was issued for the first time in Shenzhen. So far, it has issued more than 6 million electronic invoices, with an amount of 4 billion yuan, and has access to more than 5300 enterprises, Covering more than 110 detailed instries. In addition to the field of electronic invoice, blockchain has also been successfully implemented in many project scenarios, such as supply chain finance, legal deposit, cross-border payment, etc.

at the recent "thousands of people watching fire" conference of blockchain instry, the reporter of economic daily learned that in 2019, the technology implementation and application has brought blockchain into the "mainstream application year". On the one hand, many Internet giants have a solid technical foundation, on the other hand, they actively explore more valuable scenarios to find development opportunities in the enabling real economy

"blockchain technology can play the role of anchoring, sharing and increasing trust in the whole social information flow, making the chaotic information credible. Compared with the past, this is a" qualitative leap. " Zhang Kaixiang, chief architect of Weizhong bank's blockchain, said, "risk control and business rules design based on trusted data can improve efficiency, rece risks and rece operating costs." He pointed out that as a connector, it is not meaningful for a single enterprise to operate the blockchain, and it is more meaningful to share it as an open source solution to realize the ecological co construction of the instry

"we have been exploring and practicing open source, starting from the underlying technology platform and combining with the scenes of finance, instry, Internet of things, culture and entertainment, to jointly build an open, transparent and efficient technology and instrial community. Open source ecology helps to activate the creativity of the instry. We will continue to start from the open source community and improve a complete set of systems such as system construction and skills training, so as to benefit more people. "

in 2019, the market scale of China's blockchain instry will exceed 100 million yuan

China's blockchain instry is still in its infancy, but with the continuous support of national policies, the continuous progress of instry technology and the increasing demand of downstream application fields, China's blockchain instry is expected to continue to maintain high-speed growth. 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, the market scale of China's blockchain instry was less than 6 million yuan in 2011, and the market scale of China's blockchain instry increased by 32 million yuan by 2017, By 2018, the market scale of China's blockchain instry has reached 67 million yuan, always maintaining a rapid growth rate of more than 80%. It is predicted that the market scale of China's blockchain instry will exceed 100 million yuan in 2019, and that in 2022, driven by policy support and downstream demand, the market scale of China's blockchain instry is expected to exceed 450 million yuan

market size statistics and growth forecast of China's blockchain instry from 2015 to 2022

data source: the audited enterprise asset confirmation, registration and circulation records, etc., sorted out by foresight Instry Research Institute, are stored on the platform in the form of traceability. Based on this, banks can carry out fast financing and loan business, save the cost of guarantee and other links, greatly improve the efficiency, and make the risk of financing and loan controllable as a whole

electronic data storage is an important application field of blockchain technology.

the provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues concerning the trial of cases by Internet courts, which came into effect in September 2018, clearly states that electronic data storage can be solved by blockchain and other technical means. Xiang Dan, vice president of bibox digital asset trading platform, said that electronic data deposit is an important application field of blockchain technology“ Blockchain technology has the characteristics of preventing tampering, leaving traces in the event, post audit and security protection, which is concive to improving the credibility and authenticity of electronic evidence. The combination of blockchain and electronic data storage can rece the cost of electronic data storage, improve judicial efficiency and enable judicial business. For example, the contract management based on blockchain has been applied in many Internet courts. "

according to Zhou Jianrui, co founder of coinword, a trusted content community, the application of electronic data storage based on blockchain can also help deepen the reform of "release management and service" and improve administrative efficiency. In Beijing Haidian District and other pilot areas, blockchain technology is playing the role of efficient data sharing, secure transmission and credit support. When applied in the field of government affairs, it can realize real-time data sharing of various departments and effectively assist window personnel and examination and approval personnel to quickly verify the authenticity of materials. For example, the public security, civil affairs, housing management and other departments "on the chain", in dealing with real estate transactions can be fast and accurate, "one key" verification of multi-party information, greatly saving social costs

there will be two opportunities for the application of blockchain

because the social recognition of blockchain is not high, the people who understand and use blockchain are still very limited, and the penetration of blockchain into the real economy still needs a graal process. " Yuan Yuming, CEO of fire coin China, introced that they used the open, transparent and tamper proof characteristics of blockchain to explore a new path of art traceability and anti-counterfeiting by means of high-precision full pixel scanning and archiving; By constructing the trust mechanism in the multi-party cooperation scenario, the integral information platform for multi-party participation and resource sharing is developed“ Next, there will be two opportunities for blockchain application:

one is training. With the entry of enterprise giants one after another and the continuous penetration of the real instry, more people will learn about blockchain through training, which will become a new market demand

the second is to provide consulting and technical solutions to more traditional enterprises to help them penetrate the blockchain into more traditional fields and promote the consumption rection, efficiency enhancement, transformation and upgrading of the real instry. "
