The first public blockchain standard in China
1. Germination stage: the real germination stage of blockchain was from 2007 to 2009. In 2008, a Japanese American with the pseudonym of Nakamoto first expounded a new fantasy report on electronic money in the form of a synonym on the cryptography discussion group, and bitcoin came out. As early as 2007, Nakamoto began to explore a series of new technologies to create a new currency. On October 31, 2008, bitcoin white paper was released, and on January 3, 2009, bitcoin system officially began to operate
the main technologies supporting bitcoin system include hash function, distributed ledger, blockchain and asymmetric encryption; It can be seen that these technologies build the initial version of the blockchain, and it can also be said that the blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin. During the three years from 2007 to 2009, bitcoin was an experimental stage in which a very small number of people participated, and the real commercial activities had not really started
2. "Geek" niche stage: here, "geek" refers to people who are crazy about Internet technology and take technological innovation as fashion and life. On February 6, 2010, the first exchange of bitcoin appeared. On May 22 of the same year, someone bought two hamburgers with 10000 bitcoins. On July 17 of the same year, the exchange Mt. GOx was established, marking the official inflow of bitcoin into the market. Nevertheless, the only people who can really understand and enter the market to participate in bitcoin trading are geeks who are keen on Internet technology. They discuss bitcoin technology on the forum, mine for bitcoin on their own computers, and then buy and sell bitcoin on Mt. GOx. Now these geeks have become billionaires
3. Market brewing stage: the price of bitcoin was $13 at the beginning of 2013, but on March 18 of the same year, the government of Cyprus closed the bank and stock market e to the financial crisis, which made the price of bitcoin soar, and the highest price rose to $266 in April. On August 20 of the same year, the German government confirmed the currency status of bitcoin. On October 14, China network announced the opening of bitcoin payment channel. In November, the US Senate hearing also confirmed the legitimacy of bitcoin. On November 19, the price of bitcoin rose to US $1242, forming a new high. Nevertheless, the foundation for blockchain to enter the mainstream social economy is not yet available, and the soaring price of bitcoin is only e to over optimistic expectations. The containment of China's banking system, the collapse of Mt. GOx and other events made the price of bitcoin continue to fall. At the beginning of 2015, the price of bitcoin has dropped below $200. From 2013 to the beginning of 2015, the public began to understand bitcoin and blockchain
4. The mainstream period of blockchain: on June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom left the European Union, the fifth nuclear test of North Korea in September, Trump's election in November and other events, the uncertainty of the world's mainstream economy led to the recovery of bitcoin with the function of risk aversion. The market demand was large, and the increase of trading volume made the price of bitcoin soar from $400 in 2016 to $20000 in 2017, The wealth effect of bitcoin and the transaction overflow caused by network congestion of bitcoin have led to the outbreak of other series of virtual currencies, as well as a variety of blockchain applications, resulting in the emergence of a large number of blockchain assets that are 100 times, even 1000 times and 10000 times, which has aroused the crazy pursuit of the world, Subsequently, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange launched bitcoin futures trading, marking that bitcoin has officially entered the mainstream investment proct series, and bitcoin and blockchain have entered the global attention
5. Instry landing stage: after the market frenzy in 2017, the virtual currency and blockchain have been adjusted in terms of market, supervision, cognition, etc. in 2018, returning to rationality. In 2017, many blockchain projects that follow the blockchain technology will graally die out with the cooling of the market, and the projects with real blockchain applications will be initially implemented. 2018 is not only the first year of the blockchain, but also a gold rush period for the blockchain. After the waves wash away the sand, what remains is relatively good gold
from the perspective of the history of blockchain development, blockchain technology is not yet mature and is currently in the growth period. The specific practical application of blockchain is only used in the financial field. It still needs a long way to go to apply blockchain from other instries. However, we should grasp the trend of blockchain and actively learn from the new field of blockchain.
Financial instry
blockchain should be the most widely used in the financial instry
, for example, OMG (young model currency) in May 2017, omise announced that it was launching an electronic wallet with Alipay to integrate Alipay payment solutions into its own payment service suite, helping local e-commerce businesses in Thailand to accept online payment transactions from China tourists. p>
another example is PPT, which is a bill financial transaction system based on blockchain
gambling
the gambling instry probably entered the blockchain last year. Why does gambling favor blockchain? Blockchain provides a relatively fair guessing system. Why is it relatively fair? As can be seen from the previous introction, blockchain can not be tampered with or forged
for example, wicc is a rich application scenario that can realize asset issuance, guessing application, right traceability, mutual insurance, decentralized exchange, cross-border settlement, etc
for example, the STX stox application is designed to provide the full functionality of the forecast market application without any central server. Forecasting the market requires functions such as event planning, market making, providing information and analysis to traders, reporting event results, and of course collecting and paying
I believe that if the current lottery instry is set up on the blockchain, people's purchasing enthusiasm will be higher and higher, because too many insiders make people give up
Internet of things
there are still many applications of the Internet of things in the blockchain, because the traceability and timeliness of blocks are very suitable for this instry
for example, data is the concept of Internet of things, which is a decentralized P2P network. The data source can connect with any node in the whole network, and then publish the data, and the network will immediately send it to the subscriber. Horizontal scalability is achieved through fragmentation mode. This is very important for the timeliness and accuracy of Internet of things applications
game instry
for example, GTC (g coin) is a decentralized digital asset based on Ethereum erc20 issued by game.com, and G coin is committed to becoming the general digital currency standard of the global game instry
for example, mana is a distributed shared virtual platform. On this platform, users can browse and discover content, and interact with other people and entities. Users can also claim the ownership of virtual territory through the land ledger based on blockchain. The territory is demarcated by rectangular coordinates (x, y), and its owner can decide the content published on the territory, including interactive systems from static 3D scenes to games
there are many other instries. The great emperor did not list them one by one, but listed several representative instries. What is the point? It shows that blockchain is definitely not only the transaction of currency, it is a proct of the era change with real landing project and real practical use
in fact, the development of human society is just like the blockchain, which is irreversible and unstoppable. In my opinion, sooner or later, the blockchain will enter into thousands of households, no matter the ox or bear, hold the value currency in hand, and tonghuashun has begun to offer digital currency, which shows that the society is accepting it step by step, and the power of social development can not be blocked by any country or person
the blockchain instry is in the stage of rapid development
China's blockchain instry is in the stage of rapid development. 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, by the end of March 2018, the number of blockchain companies with blockchain business as the main business in China has reached 456, from upstream hardware manufacturing, platform services, security services to downstream instrial technology application services, To ensure the development of the instry investment and financing, media, talent services, companies in various fields have been basically complete
according to the classification of application scenarios of top 20 enterprises in the ranking list, in addition to 13 enterprises focusing on the infrastructure and platform construction of blockchain such as underlying platform and blockchain hardware, the application scenarios of blockchain have graally enriched. According to the distribution of instry segments, there are 7 instry application companies, mainly Internet companies (Alibaba, Jingdong, Tencent) used in public welfare and commodity traceability, and innovative financial technology applications evolved by financial enterprises (Ping An, CMB, BOC), such as supply chain finance, bills and transaction clearing
as the blockchain can realize the non tampering of information, the possibility of data falsification is eliminated from the root, especially in the financial instry, which has high requirements for real data, it will embrace the blockchain more actively
analysis on the development trend of blockchain
Second, blockchain has become a new hot spot for innovation and entrepreneurship, and technology integration will expand new application space
3. Blockchain will be widely implemented in the real economy in the next three years and become an important support for the construction of Digital China
fourthly, blockchain creates a new platform economy and opens a new era of sharing economy
fifthly, blockchain accelerates the process of "credible digitization" and drives finance to "move from virtual to real" to serve the real economy< Sixth, the blockchain supervision and standard system will be further improved, and the instrial development foundation will continue to be consolidated
in addition, as an emerging technology, there are still many technical difficulties in the application of blockchain in the actual proction environment of the financial instry, such as throughput, scalability, consensus mechanism, privacy and security, manageability, etc
technological innovation such as blockchain is of great significance to the financial instry, which is expected to accelerate the process of "credible digitization" and continuously drive the financial instry to "move from virtual to real".
Second, circulation blockchain: anti-counterfeiting application
Third, the block chain integral system: the indivial asset securitization of xiong'an new area
Fourth, traditional financial Reengineering: blockchain + supply chain. At present, as a domestic blockchain technology developer, micro three cloud has good market experience in guiding enterprises to implement application
the second is that only mature technology is not enough. In order to realize a large number of DAPP and commercial applications on the blockchain, we must be prepared on one hand: that is, the digital currency that can be used as payment tool, exchange medium, value measure and value storage. Xiao Feng said that everyone thinks that bitcoin is a payment system, but the real bitcoin can not meet our demand for payment because its currency value fluctuates too much
for example, he said that a mall sold a bottle of water and accepted bitcoin payment. When he got up the next morning, he found that 20% of the value was gone. So it can't be accepted. After the Japanese parliament made it clear that bitcoin could be used as a payment tool, some Japanese businesses announced that they would accept bitcoin payment. But later found that it caused a lot of trouble for the stability of the company's balance sheet. Your balance sheet is unstable, up or down. This not only affects the value of the things sold, but also affects the credit evaluation of enterprises and the services provided by banks to companies
the third condition is the construction of laws and regulations and supervision system. The digital economy on the blockchain must obtain legal protection and comply with the law. Xiao Feng stressed that there can be no decentralization in this regard
the differences between blockchain and Internet are discussed. He believes that the core difference between the two is that the Internet is a centralized trust mechanism, while the blockchain is a decentralized trust mechanism, and there is no need to trust a third party
the second core difference between the Internet and blockchain is the incentive mechanism, not the digital currency or the ability to issue currency. Economics has been discussing incentive incompatibility. Under the company system and on the Internet, the incompatibility of incentive mechanism has not been solved. However, in the decentralized blockchain, the blockchain achieves complete incentive compatibility. Without shareholders, board of directors and employees, the conflicts of interest between these roles will not happen again.
