Blockchain applications involve cash transactions
Financial instry
blockchain should be the most widely used in the financial instry P>
, 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
Ten instry application scenarios of blockchain are listed on Oracle's website, including finance, proction, ecation, media, entertainment, government, retail business, health, medical care, supply chain, insurance and public utilities. Is it very tall? But what I want to say is that these application scenarios, in front of real high-energy blockchain applications, can only hide in the corner and shiver
now the real high-energy application scenario of blockchain is Ponzi application, commonly known as "Ponzi scheme". It is a smart contract type Qianbao, a blockchain game for rolling in and out of money, an ICO for trading, and a global pension platform P>
Ponzi scheme is one of the oldest application scenarios of our human beings. After Internet plus, the Ponzi scheme has upgraded the Internet + "Internet plus Ponzi scheme". The Internet enabled the Ponzi scheme, so there was an event similar to the 10 billion level of Qianbao. Before the Internet era, there were few Ponzi schemes on such a large scale. They were enabled through the Internet, and paid through mobile app. Finally, they rolled for several years and reached the 10 billion level
the Internet has broken the geographical restrictions, physical restrictions, capital flow restrictions and communication restrictions. As long as you have a mobile phone, you can play Qianbao app. Everyone participates in it, everyone gets into the money, and everyone gives out the money. According to the data of the people involved, it has reached the level of one million. Relatively speaking, the online pyramid scheme (Ponzi scheme 1.0), which still stays on the top of the list, has meetings every day, can't stop brainwashing, and uses violence and illegal means. It's simple and weak. With the rise of blockchain technology, the Ponzi scheme enabled by "blockchain +" can no longer be described as adding wings like a tiger. It is like a chicken changing into a tiger. Like the Internet, the "block chaining +" technology is a solid application to enhance the application scenario. Ponzi's fraud is further upgraded in the two generation of the Internet plus, because of the major improvement and improvement of the scene, turning into Ponzi scheme 3, whose characteristics are mainly in the following aspects:
1, centralization and no summit. The smart contract of blockchain runs automatically, and it does not need human intervention, nor can it be interrupted by human. Code rules are dead and cannot be tampered with. In terms of scene improvement, it solves the biggest pain point of Ponzi scheme for thousands of years, that is, the problem of head running away. Because the head is a program and code, the program of blockchain can exist forever, and no one can delete it. I think this is the biggest breakthrough. This virtual leader is always there. He can't run away, he can't run, he can't change. The rules will never change. He will stick to the Ponzi line for 100 years, 1000 years and 10000 years. It may be said that smart contracts can be iterated, and they can also be manipulated to leave a back door. Yes, but it can be done without iteration. Even if iteration is transparent and visible, it can be seen at a glance with a back door. This is the characteristic of the blockchain smart contract. If you cheat on it, you will get out a under the teacher's eyes. No one will participate in such a smart contract when it is online. Therefore, after technical review and verification, there is no backdoor, fair rules and irreversible smart contract, which can be realized by using blockchain technology. Such reliability, once verified, will never change. This is the certainty of the smart contract. A program or a character's code will not change. It will run one million times and one trillion times, and the result will be consistent and certain
2. The process was transparent. The number, address, account number, amount and time of deposit; Number, address, account number, amount and time of payment; All visible. Blockchain has a public ledger function, which can be viewed by everyone in the world, and the ledger data viewed by everyone is completely consistent. Why does Qianbao burst? Because we can't see his background account, how much money he goes in and how much money he comes out every day, and the details of each transaction. In this way, you can see the assessment of cashing ability before you pay in, and the assessment result is absolutely certain, that is, it will not change after you pay in
3. Complete anonymization. If you've ever heard of zero proof of knowledge. This part can be skipped. In short, some of the things we used to have in the mathematical knowledge base did not have application scenarios after many inventions. Later, it was found that it was easy to use these knowledge for anonymization. The cryptography technology in the blockchain can achieve identity hiding. As we all know, Zhihu can't achieve anonymity in a real sense in terms of technical structure, and blockchain can
The rules are open and fair to all. One yuan in gold, ten yuan in rebate. Everyone is the same rule. It will never change. If you pay one yuan, go to the front and pay for it, then the back will pay for it, and then pay for it. Fair, right? I have reflected on this many times, and I think it is fair5. Sustainable iteration. In the low-level Ponzi scheme, the leader, proct designer, benefit distributor and benefit receiver are often four in one, while the blockchain Ponzi scheme can completely logically separate the four roles. Achieve sustainable iteration. Through collaboration based on socialization, these projects can be iterated on forever. There are now 400 senior engineers who are developing around bitcoin and constantly updating the code. These people can not know anyone. As long as the application is valuable, they can continue to iterate. Which centralized project can be achieved? Even bat level companies can't employ so many professionals scattered around the world. This kind of social iteration is not affected by the changes of a specific person or organization
"blockchain" enabled Ponzi scheme uses different range of blockchain technology, because the technology in this field is still constantly updated, and the application of smart contract has only increased in the past two years. The earliest application of blockchain is bitcoin. Some people think that bitcoin itself has the characteristics of Ponzi scheme. In 2013, I wrote a reply and implicitly pointed out that this new type of Ponzi scheme will have great lethality, because it has the characteristics of no head, open account book, no running away, open and fair rules. Later, I also found that many people around me like Ponzi scheme much more than blockchain technology. As soon as I hear that bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme, before I start talking about blockchain technology, I usually walk away in silence. On the contrary, you tell him it's a Ponzi scheme, and then they will ask, where can I buy it? Of course, there is a lot of controversy about whether bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme, because the practical application scenarios of bitcoin have been expanding
in the ICO boom, there are a lot of air coins, such as the bogus Ponzi scheme, which has no application scenarios. The buyers probably know that these air coins are Ponzi schemes, but they buy them because the packaging is good. It is estimated that there are hundreds or thousands of such air coins. The scope of the case is all over the world, and the amount involved is more than 10 billion. These ICOS use smart contracts for subscription and distribution, and then circulate in the secondary market by themselves. In this case, there is no guarantee that the money will be paid out, and some people will lose all their money. Many people, blockchain professionals, have always wanted to draw a clear line with these applications, because although these air coins use part of the blockchain technology, they are still a centralized organization or indivial behind them. There are few network nodes, and users directly converge to a certain organization or indivial when they are paid (so they will be swept away), but there is no doubt that, Air money still uses blockchain to make money and raise funds, which solves part of the problem of running away and improves the scope and communication ability of Ponzi scheme. This is an objective situation
and from this year, with the development of technology, the Ponzi scheme, which uses smart contracts to achieve more decentralization, began to surface. Smart contract locking is used for fund in and fund out to complete a complete closed loop of fund in, fund subscription and fund out. It can already be a very pure blockchain application. Some blockchain games can freely admit that they are a Ponzi game after their release. He said: you see, the rules are transparent, the code is visible, the gold entry contract is locked, they can't run away, no one intervenes, and the gold is automatically paid. Early play, early gain. This is a key breakthrough. It's a way to publicly admit that you are a Ponzi scheme, which can't be done by Ponzi scheme 1.0 and Ponzi scheme 2.0 before. Great. It's simple and rough
this solves the major obstacles in the promotion process of Ponzi scheme, which used to rely on brainwashing, but now it depends on code. You see, "this program doesn't run on its own. There's no back door in it, right? Is the leader gone? The capture of Nakamoto does not affect the continued implementation of the program, does it Therefore, the first batch of blockchain Ponzi scams are hooked by code farmers who can understand the code, and then these code farmers stand up again and say that after technical verification, it is really such an effect, driving other people who do not read the code to join
in addition to realizing the Ponzi scheme application scenarios of entertainment, gambling and fraud, blockchain also has the opportunity to make a big show in the Ponzi scheme application scenarios involving the national economy and the people's livelihood and public utilities, which can even greatly enhance people's sense of gain and happiness, and actually improve people's life. For example, the application of national or global public pension platform based on blockchain can solve several major drawbacks of pension: fund misappropriation. The account book is open, the funds are not centralized and locked, and no one can unlock it, except the recipients who meet the rules can pay out the money. There is no possibility of misappropriation
2. Inflation. The current pension system adjusts the coefficient every year according to a series of complex algorithms such as inflation. After adjustment, the recipients are often dissatisfied because the total amount has increased, but the purchasing power has decreased. Using the feature that virtual currency can't be issued, we can control the inflation rate and ensure that we get real money3. Unpredictable problems. It is very difficult for us to predict the pension payment after 30 years, and we can predict it in advance through smart contract. Stimulate the enthusiasm of paying
4. Policy loopholes and fairness. There will be unfairness in the diversification of groups that any pension policy faces. Everyone wants to pay less and get more, pay later and raise earlier. The transparency of blockchain is refined to each account, rather than a set of general policies to plug the loopholes in the implementation process. Everyone is the same, pay more, pay earlier, pay earlier. It can even be inherited and never lostthis has greatly reced the burden and cost of the state's pension management. What the existing pension system can do, after using the blockchain technology, can still be done, such as the state subsidies, just pay money into the contract, lock it in, there will be no fake, such as compulsory payment, and every record is real and traceable. In a word, all the existing systems and rules can be linked to the chain. On the basis of not affecting the existing effect, the efficiency and output level are improved, and fairness is guaranteed. Moreover, because the cost of the huge management system is reced, the absolute number that everyone can get may be increased by a large part. This has played a real effect on improving people's lives, and also has a positive effect
Blockchain technology is widely used. Under the integration of new technologies, the main application scenarios of blockchain include finance and insurance, intelligent manufacturing, intelligent environmental protection, energy and power, health care, ecation, culture and innovation, smart city, social welfare, agriculture and many other fields
-
blockchain + finance
blockchain can help financial institutions solve problems such as trust and data sharing
-
blockchain + right art
Tianhe Guoyun's blockchain right system

3. Blockchain + government
in statistics, voting, budget management and other aspects, blockchain can rece costs, improve efficiency, and increase transparency, so as to prevent the risk of failure of centralized system
4. Blockchain + insurance
fraud identification and risk prevention: by placing insurance claims under an unchangeable general ledger, blockchain helps to eliminate the common sources of fraud in the insurance instry
property insurance and accidental injury insurance: policies and shared ledgers recorded in the form of smart contracts can improve the efficiency of property insurance and accidental injury insurance
Health Insurance: blockchain technology enables medical records to be encrypted and shared among health service providers, thus improving the interoperability of the health insurance ecosystem
Reinsurance: the information security of reinsurance contracts on the blockchain platform can be ensured through the form of smart contracts, which can rece the amount of information and simplify the payment process between insurers and reinsurers
financial field
blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields. The application of blockchain technology in the financial instry can save the third-party intermediary link and realize the point-to-point direct docking, so as to greatly rece the cost and quickly complete the transaction payment
in the field of Internet of things and logistics, blockchain can also be naturally combined in the field of Internet of things and logistics. Through blockchain, we can rece logistics costs, trace the proction and delivery process of goods, and improve the efficiency of supply chain management. This field is considered as a promising application direction of blockchain
in the field of public service
blockchain is closely related to people's proction and life in the fields of public management, energy, transportation, etc., but the centralization of these fields also brings some problems, which can be transformed by blockchain. The decentralized and fully distributed DNS service provided by the blockchain can realize domain name query and resolution through the point-to-point data transmission service between nodes in the network. It can be used to ensure that the operating system and firmware of an important infrastructure have not been tampered with. It can monitor the status and integrity of the software and detect bad tampering, And ensure that the data transmitted by the system using the Internet of things technology has not been tampered with
in the field of digital right
through blockchain technology, works can be authenticated to prove the existence of text, video, audio and other works and ensure the authenticity and uniqueness of ownership. After the works are confirmed on the blockchain, the subsequent transactions will be recorded in real time to realize the full life cycle management of digital rights, and can also be used as a technical guarantee in judicial evidence collection
in the field of insurance
in terms of insurance claims, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claims settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs. Through the application of smart contract, there is no need for the applicant to apply or the insurance company to approve. As long as the claim conditions are triggered, the automatic claim settlement of the policy can be realized
public welfare
the data stored on the blockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios. The relevant information in the public welfare process, such as donation project, collection details, fund flow, recipient feedback, etc., can be stored on the blockchain, and can be made transparent and public, which is convenient for social supervision
with the continuous development and progress of society, great changes have taken place in our lifestyle, such as mobile payment and online shopping, which have brought great convenience to our life. Since the birth of online shopping, online payment has become a part of our life
online shopping is convenient, but it is also through the middle of a "invisible" process of payment, such as we bought something on the Internet, first pick out what you love, then you have to pay the problem:
now most people use Alipay is the way of payment, then first Alipay will receive payment request. Then it initiates the protocol to the network, saves the information to the database, and forwards the request to the bank. When the Alipay account shows that the dection is successful, it will have to be connected to the bank through the Internet. Then the buyer will confirm receipt after receiving the goods, so that the buyer will dect the money before transferring to the seller's account. Not only is the transaction process too cumbersome and complex, it is clear that the transaction between the two parties has to go through a series of links. More importantly, once the intermediate payment link collapses, the whole transaction will stop, and the subsequent operation is really troublesome
in fact, the popular explanation is that when I want to buy something, I give the money to the middleman and ask him to help the seller. If the middleman makes any mistakes, it may lead to the situation that the money can not be recovered and the goods can not be obtained
is there any way to simplify the transaction process and improve the transaction efficiency? Yes, the current hot blockchain technology and digital currency payment can better solve the above problems:
blockchain has become one of the hot topics in the past two years. Blockchain can replace the existence of these third-party services:
first, blockchain can not be tampered with. Every transaction will be distributed to each block for record keeping, Then use cryptography to verify, any malicious damage or record deletion will be found, so the whole process of shopping will be seen. Blockchain strengthens the trust, traceability and transparency in the transaction, making our transaction faster and more convenient<
the second is the unique payment characteristics of digital currency:
the decentralization of digital currency can eliminate the intervention of the third party, and there is no need to worry about the problems of the third party, resulting in the whole transaction payment process can not continue
the point-to-point transmission of digital currency saves the time link in the whole payment process and realizes fast payment, so that both parties can receive money quickly and save time
openness and transparency of digital currency: except for cash transactions, all transactions based on online payment are just a series of numbers, and all transactions of digital currency are open and transparent. You can check the transaction records of all payments, which can ensure the security of the overall commodity payment
and like China's booming WeChat, Alipay and other payment platforms, cross-border payment has been realized, but there is a problem that fees will be more expensive than domestic payments, and the settlement cycle will be longer than domestic. In general, efficiency will be slow, time is long, and hand renewal is expensive. Digital money will make traditional transactions "no longer traditional". That will also make cross-border payment more efficient: digital currency is not subject to the "constraints" of any country or bank. Based on blockchain technology, it can just bypass this centralized system with low handling charges, and its point-to-point transmission transaction characteristics can effectively improve the current problems of long-time and high cost of cross-border payment
the times have been developing, and the way of life is constantly improving. Online shopping and payment are born from our development, with both advantages and disadvantages. Then we will try our best to push everything in a better direction
digital currency is on the rise. Although the current digital currency is not perfect, many countries have begun to use digital currency as a payment method. Due to the various characteristics of digital currency, bitcoin, Ethernet, Las Y2, QTP (wechat ID: yingbivc), ASEC and other digital currencies are being actively used. They can not only simplify the traditional online payment transaction process, but also circulate payment around the world and rece exchange rate issues such as handling charges. Don't just look at digital currency with one eye. Maybe in the near future, it will open the era of digital currency full payment!
1. Financial field. Blockchain has great potential application value in international exchange, letter of credit, equity registration, stock exchange and other financial fields. The application of blockchain technology in the financial instry can save the third-party intermediary link and realize the point-to-point direct docking, so as to greatly rece the cost and quickly complete the transaction payment< 2.

Digital rights. Through blockchain technology, works can be authenticated to prove the existence of text, video, audio and other works, and ensure the authenticity and uniqueness of ownership. After the works are confirmed on the blockchain, the subsequent transactions will be recorded in real time to realize the full life cycle management of digital rights, and can also be used as a technical guarantee in judicial evidence collection. For example, mine labs, a start-up company in New York, developed a metadata protocol based on blockchain. This system called mediachain uses IPFs file system to realize right protection of digital works, mainly for right protection applications of digital pictures
5. Insurance. In terms of insurance claims, insurance institutions are responsible for fund collection, investment and claims settlement, and often have higher management and operation costs. Through the application of smart contract, there is no need for the applicant to apply or the insurance company to approve. As long as the claim conditions are triggered, the automatic claim settlement of the policy can be realized. A typical application case is lenderbot, which was launched by the blockchain enterprise stratumdeloitte and payment service provider lemonway in 2016. It allows people to register customized micro insurance procts through the chat function of Facebook messenger to insure the high value items exchanged between indivials, and the blockchain replaces the third party role in the loan contract< 6. Public welfare. The data stored on the blockchain is highly reliable and tamperable, which is naturally suitable for social public welfare scenarios. The relevant information in the public welfare process, such as donation project, collection details, fund flow, recipient feedback, etc., can be stored on the blockchain, and can be made transparent and public, which is convenient for social supervision.
for example, AUR, Golem, vechain, omisego, which provides asset exchange and transfer services, is a prediction platform based on blockchain. Using blockchain technology, these projects can better solve the problems of trust and cross-border circulation. At the same time, using smart contracts and tokens on the blockchain, they can better realize automatic execution and greatly improve the efficiency of social and economic activities
Application blockchain projects cover a wide range of fields, including finance, social networking, games, property rights protection and so on. It is also the field where the market value of blockchain projects is growing fastest at present.
Although the current blockchain technology is still in the initial stage, the advantages of this technology have begun to be reflected. In many fields, blockchain can proce great value, and I believe there will be more landing application scenarios in the future,
blockchain + cross border payment
at present, the mainstream way of cross-border remittance is wire transfer, and its cycle is generally as long as three to five working days. In addition to certain handling charges, intermediary banks will charge certain handling charges, Swift (Global Interbank Financial Telecommunication Association) will also charge a higher fee for the message exchange of its system. In China, a single fee of 150 yuan will be charged for cross-border remittance through the Bank of China
and the use of blockchain technology allows the remitter and the payee to pay and settle directly, eliminating all intermediate costs, so that cross-border payment and settlement can be completed point-to-point quickly. While improving the speed of settlement, it can also achieve all-weather payment, real-time arrival, simple embodiment and no hidden cost
