Blockchain bear market
IBM and giant automobile manufacturers are trying to use blockchain technology to solve instry pain points. In addition, there are "declining" enterprises such as Kodak of Japan, hoping to fight a "turnaround battle" through blockchain
What does these phenomena show? This shows that the technology of block chain has great commercial value. Everyone hopes to cultivate a new world on this unknown land. So, with the development of blockchain technology this year, it has not only been a simple underlying technology, but also formed a complete ecosystem. Now let's talk with you from two aspects of "coin circle" and "chain circle": what is the ecosystem of blockchain, and let's understand the whole picture of blockchain instry
the first section of the coin circle
in the coin circle, there are always several terms: project party, exchange, media, mining machinery manufacturer. Next, let's take a detailed inventory of what's going on
first, the project side of the coin circle can be understood as follows: all those who issue tokens are the project side. Attention, it's a coin ring. There are also some project parties that don't issue money, such as Alibaba, Tencent and Netease, which are also doing blockchain projects. They don't issue money and only focus on technology. Then these project parties that don't issue money mainly focus on the role of blockchain in data security and supply chain, which we will talk about later
let's return to the topic of coin circle project parties. For example, yilaiyun and BoChang, which are more controversial recently, are the project parties of coin circle, as well as blockchain games, which are more popular recently. They also belong to coin circle project parties
one of the subversive aspects of the coin circle project is the combination of the project and the token, which directly replaces the equity with the token, and the token can be directly circulated. This is a very revolutionary point, so that many initial projects can be more convenient for financing. After financing, the feedback token can be circulated on the digital currency trading platform, and the investors can also exit very well
this "financing investment" approach seems to be another way to realize the listing and trading of equity in disguised form
therefore, it is such a mode that makes the project side of the coin circle the nearest place to the money. They can easily circle the money, and of course they can't resist the temptation, or they have been planning for a long time and run away after circling the money. The detailed process of token issuing by the project side is generally as follows:
the first step is to build a token system, which is similar to an app application. This is not very complicated, because Ethereum is open source, similar to Android Apple system, on which developers can develop specific applications
the second step is to write a white paper, which is similar to the business plan. The white paper is similar to the business plan, mainly including the team situation, technical situation and other information of the project
the third step is to find someone to do endorsement, and find some influential instry bigwigs to promote
the fourth step is to promote marketing, find some blockchain media to push soft articles and pull cooperation, which we will mention below
the fifth step is to find financing
Step 6: go to the stock exchange, and the token begins to spread widely
Second, the exchange
with the project side, let's talk about the exchange. If the project side is a procer, then the things they proce have to be sold and traded, right? The exchange is a trading place for the token of the project party. If the token of the project side is similar to the stock, then the exchange of the currency circle is similar to the secondary market of the stock market. However, the exchange of the currency circle has more power. It has the right to audit the currency, and can decide whether to put the currency in or out
of course, if the project party wants to pay the exchange a huge amount of money charging fees, the investors who trade in the exchange also need to pay the handling fee or withdrawal fee, and the rules of the handling fee and withdrawal fee of each exchange are different. In fact, the currency fees, handling fees and cash withdrawal fees constitute the profit model of the currency circle exchange. Of course, in addition to these three profit models, the profit model of the exchange includes the "market maker" business to earn the price difference, that is, the exchange creates liquidity through continuous trading, acts as a market maker and earns the price difference at the same time
at present, e to the increasingly fierce competition in the instry, there will be less and less currency fees and handling charges, or even no need, so the proportion of conventional profits will be less and less, which leads to the emergence of other profit models, such as platform currency and leverage handling charges. Let's talk about platform currency first. Platform currency is the currency issued by the exchange: okb and coin an belong to platform currency. These platform currencies issued by the exchange can be exchanged for BTC and eth. At the same time, the appreciation of platform currency's own value can lay a solid material foundation for the development of the exchange. For users, holding platform currency can enjoy the benefits of commission discount, platform dividend, special activities of the exchange, etc, This is platform currency. Leverage service charge refers to the currency financing function on the platform, which supports leveraged transactions and charges a certain proportion of service charge to currency financing users
all of the above are actually ecosystems constructed through the exchange's own resource output. Now, the exchange is still actively planning the whole instry to obtain income, such as the establishment of capital, mine pool, wallet, incubator, Engineering Institute, fund and other ways. We believe that if the exchange wants to develop for a long time, it must lay out the whole instry chain, find new breakout points of the instry, and build a complete ecosystem. Therefore, the proportion of strategic profits should be increased
3. Blockchain media
in the past two years when blockchain is hot, there are not only a lot of project parties, but also media. At present, there are about 200 well-known blockchain media. The content on the blockchain media platform is about the following points: policy, hacker, exchange, boss and project party. In addition to words, the operation mode of blockchain media also includes community activities, such as inviting "big guys" to share in the group, so as to achieve a precipitation of high-quality content and earn some traffic at the same time
Why do we have to mention blockchain media? It's because there are some differences between blockchain media and the media in our impression. What's the difference? The difference is that there are some interest relationships between blockchain media and the above mentioned project parties and exchanges. We just said that the project side is like a "procer" and the exchange is like a "sales market". Then, the role of the media is like "advertising platform & quot;. If the project wants to sell well, it needs publicity and advertising, then blockchain media plays such a role. Therefore, the investors of some blockchain media are the project side and the exchange
recently, there has been a bear market. Many blockchain media have laid off employees on a large scale. The reason is nothing more than the shortage of projects and funds. Therefore, it is far from enough for blockchain media to rely solely on the investment of the project side, the exchange and the advertising revenue. When the bear market comes and the project side and the exchange are affected, then the media is bound to face a very cruel winter. As a result, many blockchain media are also doing token issuing by project parties (the most typical are content communities such as coin and coin car, which belong to a media platform and are also doing token issuing by project parties), or some blockchain media are doing business such as wallet selling, mining machine renting and computing power
however, we believe that blockchain media, as the media, still play the role of guiding public opinion. Therefore, we should return to the essence and be a place to deliver instry value information, rather than a place to pile up advertisements. Therefore, blockchain media should keep up with the development of technology to realize its own survival and development. Relying on the advantages of blockchain technology and based on the consensus mechanism in the token system, it can realize the reasonable distribution of the interests of the media instry. In this regard, it may have a certain imagination< Fourth, mining machine manufacturers
in the final analysis, bitcoin mining is the competition of computing power. The stronger the computing power, the greater the probability of bitcoin mining. Therefore, in the business system of the whole coin circle, mining machinery manufacturers are a very important existence. We can see from one data: in the blockchain instry of Hurun 100 rich list in 2018, the richest person is Mr. Zhan ketuan, a partner of bitcontinental, a miner. In addition, according to the prospectus, bitcoin's net profit in the first half of the year was US $743 million, an increase of nearly eight times over the same period last year. Bitcoin once occupied more than 70% of the global market share of mining machinery, becoming the leader in the mining machinery instry. Not only mining machinery, bitmainland still occupies a near monopoly position in the mining pool (that is, a mode of cooperative mining): at present, the computing power of the top six mining pools in the world accounts for 79.2%
after the invention of China's first bitcoin miner, Jianan Yun, another miner chip research company, began to engage in the research of chips in the field of blockchain and artificial intelligence. In just a few years, it has also become an internationally famous chip enterprise
in fact, as early as 2012, the United States announced that it was going to sell a butterfly miner, but many people later thought it was a scam, because it took several years for the butterfly miner to go on sale, which also made the R & D of mining machines in other countries become very scared, and they were all scrambling for time, in a sense, Butterfly mining machine is also driving the prosperity of mining machine instry. So, in 2013, the mining machine has entered a season of contention, and a large number of ASIC mining machines have been put forward: or announced research and development, or announced pre-sale, or in the form of spot: cat roasting mining machine, pigeon mining machine, TMR mining machine, biter mining machine, Rand mining Bureau, little bee mining machine, Avalon original factory and various OEM, garden mining machine, Smart mining machine and so on... Maybe you haven't heard of these mining machines, because they are basically dead. Bitcontinental, Jianan Yun and Yibang have become mining machine giants< However, as a derivative instry under the prosperity of cryptocurrency market, the price of mining machinery is closely related to the cryptocurrency Market: in the bull market, the supply of mining machinery often falls short of demand, and it is common for miners to buy Mining machinery from "scalpers" at several times high prices. At this time, mining machinery manufacturers enter the dividend period. However, in a bear market, mining machinery manufacturers will also be adversely affected. As miners' enthusiasm for mining declines, some manufacturers have to rece the price of mining machinery to recover costs. For example, when bitcoin plummeted in March this year, a certain model of mining machine sold by Huaqiangbei was on sale at a price of 5000 yuan, and the price dropped from about 19000 yuan to
14000 yuan
[summary]
at this point, we can find that whether it is the project party, the exchange, the media, or the mining machinery, it can be said that it is a kind of "one-stop"
although the currency circle is in a bear market, blockchain is not useless without cryptocurrency
the blockchain instry has developed rapidly in recent years, and more and more blockchain technologies appear in front of people. More and more blockchain applications are landing, blockchain e-invoice, blockchain traceability, blockchain finance and so on. Talents in the blockchain instry are also very scarce. Many colleges and universities in China have set up blockchain courses to provide talents for the blockchain instry
the development of a new technology will inevitably encounter setbacks, and the blockchain instry will grow stronger in the future.
the reliability of digital currency is always landing. The key long-term point of an instry is whether it can be landing. Let's not talk about the key figures of this project, but about the feasibility of this project. There is no project that can be implemented, how high the project party praises, star stations and so on. To return to the original place, the truth is a pit
for example, HNB, the next generation of decentralized blockchain economy, is a reliable project. It relies on the real economy and uses value exchange to continuously create endogenous value. It uses blockchain to build an economy in which everyone can participate and get returns through labor. It no longer relies on currency speculation for income, At the same time, it can help the real economy create new vitality.
at present, the mainstream digital currencies include bitcoin, Ethereum, bitcoin cash, grapefruit, etc. the corresponding subtitle abbreviations are BTC / eth / BCH / EOS, etc
as for ranking, I don't know which direction you want to know, what is the market value? Or value? Or investability? However, no matter from which aspect, these digital currencies are the leading mainstream currencies. For your reference only, the most important thing is not to invest in air currency. We must make full investigation and understanding before making investment plans!
By midday, bitcoin had fallen to around $10700. Bitcoin's previous attempt to break through $12000 failed, and yesterday's downward trend continues to this day. As a result, the cryptocurrency market fell, with 90 of the top 100 currencies falling
in the past 24 hours, according to the okex platform, the net outflow amount of bitcoin reached 638 million yuan, and according to the currency security data, the net outflow amount of bitcoin reached 152 million yuan. Although the capital outflow in the past 24 hours is relatively large, it has decreased compared with yesterday's capital outflow, and bitcoin has hit the bottom of US $10600 for many times in the past 24 hours. However, in terms of trading volume, there is strong support in this position. After that, we still need to observe the withdrawal of funds, so as to confirm whether the market goes up or continues to fall below the down. In fact, the so-called "bear market" in the currency circle is more popular than the "three o'clock community" before. In my opinion, I basically dare to assert that there are makers in the currency circle who have successfully harvested a batch of "leeks" by using some financial means or big men. This view may sound like "conspiracy theory" to many people, But I have to admit that speculators are everywhere in the coin circle. Zhu Xiaohu's warning that "I hope you don't stay in history because you reap leeks to earn money with blood" also has a certain basis in my opinion
the craziest time was in December 2017, when bitcoin reached more than 100000 yuan. Before that, people who invested in bitcoin could make a fortune overnight. At the end of 2017, the price dropped to below 40000 yuan, and there was also a correction in 2018
there are two ways to invest in bitcoin
one is to buy bitcoin directly and wait for it to rise, that is, simply buy it low and sell it high. Judging from the historical data and the popularity of blockchain, there is still a lot of room for bitcoin to rise, but the cost of this investment method is relatively low, and the price of bitcoin fluctuates too much, so although the income of buying bitcoin directly is high, But the risk is also great
the other is to "dig" bitcoin with professional equipment. The total amount of bitcoin is 21 million. Mining is the only way to get bitcoin, that is, through a professional computer, which is called mining machine in the instry, to get bitcoin through a lot of calculation, and then sell bitcoin to get income. At present, the price of a mining machine is about 10000, Another problem is the cost of electricity. This kind of equipment consumes a lot of power and needs 24-hour uninterrupted operation, so after a long time, the electricity cost is not a small cost
at present, there are many people engaged in mining, mostly in the form of mines, finding cheap electricity for centralized mining to rece costs
every day will generate income, the highest is more than 200. In addition, the fluctuation of the currency price has little impact on the mining, because the bitcoin can be sold at any price. Even if the price of the coin is low, it can be sold after the price rises. Therefore, the investment income is relatively stable, the risk is relatively low, and the current machine price is also low, There is no threshold for investment, so it is a good opportunity for investment
According to the current market, mining income is not high, and even some retail investors have caused losses, but it is difficult to lose money in large-scale professional mines. Mining requires the cost of machinery and equipment and the cost of electricity price. With the decline of bitcoin market, the cost of machinery has been reced again and again, and the electricity price in large mines is also extremely low. Therefore, the income of mining in large mines will be higher than the cost for a long time in the future, and the income will be higher after the price of bitcoin risescompared with self built mines, it has certain advantages to invest in mining machinery trusteeship business. Firstly, the time cost is saved to a certain extent, and the mining business can be started immediately. Secondly, unnecessary expenses, such as labor cost, are saved. Since the custody business concentrates the mining machines of multiple investors in one mine, the labor cost is shared by all investors. Finally, there are cheaper electricity prices. The ultimate goal of hosting enterprises to carry out mining machinery hosting business is to make profits. If they can not get lower than the normal electricity price on the market, it is difficult for hosting enterprises to make profits. Of course, the electricity price given to investors will also be lower than the normal electricity price on the market. Another important advantage is that some trusteeship enterprises are able to cash the virtual currency g up by investors' mining machines directly, which also relieves some investors from the worry that they can't cash the virtual currency
is mining profitable or not? There are several factors affecting the mining income: first, the currency price. The higher the currency price, the more profitable the mining. The second is the difficulty. The slower the difficulty rises, the more profitable the mining will be. The lower the cost, the more profitable the mining. Of course, the cost here refers to the purchasing cost and operating cost of computing power, including labor, network, construction, electricity and so on. The lower the cost, the better. Mining needs to deal with the risk of currency price plummeting, mining difficulty soaring, and mining costs rising. At present, the risk of mining currency speculation is much smaller
now the currency price continues to fall. Some people say that it's better to buy money directly than to buy a miner. In fact, it's not the case. Buying money must bear the risk of currency price falling, and the risk and income coexist, while buying a miner is to "protect the income from drought and flood" and keep the value of money rising; In the absence of rich market experience, the decision to buy money is only the choice of speculators
In the bear market of blockchain, how to find the real valuable blockchain projects? Xiaobian explains from the following aspects:
1. Use the blockchain security technology testing center to see if it is MLM coin or air coin
no matter how advanced the concept is and how exaggerated the slogan is, the essence of any project still depends on technology. Blockchain projects without technology are just like the emperor's new clothes, We need a mirror that reflects the emperor's new clothes - blockchain security technology testing center
As one of the important initiators of blockchain security technology testing center, Tianhe Guoyun, the provider of ulord public chain technology, provides code audit function, which is a sharp tool for blockchain security technology testing center to identify blockchain projects. Code audit is to build a knowledge base of block chain code automatic audit with the help of machine learning and artificial intelligence. It can improve the efficiency of code audit and solve the security problem of intelligent contract. Through the quality evaluation of blockchain projects, exchanges, wallets and smart contract codes, blockchain code audit can prevent digital asset security accidents, provide code revision measures, security protection deployment and other services. It is reported that in addition to automatic audit, Tianhe cloud blockchain code audit can also customize expert team projects for all-round audit to help investors identify "fake projects" to a greater extent2. Look at the team of blockchain project
the blockchain field can be regarded as a comprehensive field, involving cryptography, mathematics, economics, even social management and other disciplines. We have a reliable team. As I mentioned above, the ulord project brings together a large number of high-level R & D and operation personnel
3. It is not only the concept of stir frying, but also the application of it
there are many startups in the field of blockchain. If you want to become a few widely recognized high-quality projects, it is not feasible to just speculate on a set of concepts or theories. Only the projects with the ability of making blood and doing things on the ground are good projects
at present, DAPP ushare, an application based on ulord public chain, has been officially tested on October 15. Ushare Youxiang is the first decentralized experience value sharing platform in the world, and the first DAPP based on ulord public chain. Through the decentralized consensus mechanism, we can build an open, fair and just content evaluation system, encourage high-quality experience procers and experience sharing disseminators, and let the value of high-quality experience flow
there are nearly 100 teams and projects carrying out negotiation and cooperation with ulord public chain
4. Communities have autonomy attributes
whether communities have Dao (distributed autonomous organization) attributes, which is naturally suitable for blockchain,
about community governance. Whether it's the operation mode of the community or the organizational form of the developer community, it's actually a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. We have realized the importance of community
ulord adopts the community autonomy mode of "everyone can participate and contribute to the ecology"
we will have some new community governance modes, including the cooperation of some developers and the cooperation mode of large-scale open source community, which will be born and flourish
The incentive system mainly includes three aspects: first, participation in bookkeeping; Second, the contribution of network resources; Third, participate in community construction. As mentioned above, in the accounting part of our whole budget system, the pow + POS part accounts for 60%, the contribution level of participating in open source community code accounts for 10%, and the remaining 10% is used as an incentive for community operation. Therefore, we hope that more people can participate in the construction and promotion of ulord. We hope to build a platform, but the dividends obtained by this platform should be shared with everyone in the largest range, which is essentially different from Internet procts2018 is known as the "first year of blockchain". The booming development of blockchain instry makes enterprises and even bat business giants have set foot on the blockchain one after another
what fields can blockchain technology be applied to in the future
I. in the financial field, blockchain is extracted as the underlying technology of bitcoin, so it is naturally applicable to the financial field. At present, the application and exploration of blockchain in the financial field are mainly in several aspects: digital currency, payment and clearing, digital bill, bank credit management, proof of rights and interests, stock exchange trading, insurance management, financial audit, etc< In May br />
2018, the Tencent innovation tax laboratory, jointly established by the Tencent and the State Taxation Bureau, promoted the in-depth cooperation in the Internet plus tax field by using cloud computing, AI, block chaining and big data technology. At present, "smart tax" will focus on exploring digital invoice solutions based on blockchain, and the goal is to solve the problem of fake tickets first< Nowadays, China's e-commerce instry is developing rapidly, exposing some hidden dangers of "fake and shoddy" at the same time of rapid development, and it is difficult to distinguish the true and false goods. However, after the application of blockchain technology, we can trace the true and false procts in the supply chain. At present, both Jingdong and Alibaba have entered the blockchain and want to use the blockchain technology to crack down on "counterfeiting"
as a new e-commerce model, blockchain e-commerce is graally emerging, which can track the source of goods and query the authenticity by using the characteristics of blockchain
the barn app makes use of the characteristics of the blockchain technology to trace the whole process of goods through the blockchain technology, applies the blockchain technology to the user's shopping, sharing, browsing and other scenes, and presents it to the user through the token (negotiable digital proof of rights and interests), in which each participant can share and use the data as needed, To achieve high reliability of data trading market, low-cost transactions and multi win<
in the field of film and television
film and television is known as a "high-income" and "high-risk" instry. Whether a film and television project is successful or not, its initial investment is huge. There are many factors affecting the success of a film and television project: script, actors, proction team, publicity and distribution, box office, etc. the use of blockchain technology can effectively solve these problems
taking the familiar HLW chain as an example, through the user's investment in the script of the project side on HLW chain, the user can select the script and participate in the proction, publicity and viewing process of film and television. To ensure the quality of the film, it can effectively and accurately estimate the box office revenue after the film is released, and it can also introce investment funds. Blockchain technology has the characteristics of distributed ledger, and everyone can participate in bookkeeping, so as to
there are many choices in currency speculation, depending on your own ability and luck.
