Blockchain has no token
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 victimsShenzhen 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 investmentin 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 blockchainZhao 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
Art Instry
ascribe allows artists to declare ownership, issue numbered and limited edition works, and aim at any type of artwork in digital form. It even includes a trading market where artists can buy and sell through their websites without any intermediary services
legal instry
bitproof is the most advanced of many document time stamp applications emerging in recent years, which will make the traditional notarization method a thing of the past. Bitproof offers more services than versions including blocksgin and originstaemp, including one for intellectual property. Interestingly, bitproof recently cooperated with an it school in San Francisco to put their students' academic certificates on the blockchain, completely redefining how to handle and use diplomas and student certificates
development instry
colu is the first enterprise to allow other enterprises to issue digital assets. They can "token" all kinds of assets and make a profound impact on many people. Although the bitcoin wallet couperparty also allows the issuance of simple tokens and transactions among other wallet holders, the tokens of colu can be set with various states and types, and can be detached from or returned to the system. When the data stored on the blockchain is too large, the data can be stored on the BitTorrent network
network mutual aid instry
concentric mutual aid is the first blockchain network mutual aid platform to be implemented and applied. Technically, through blockchain and big data technology, the defects of traditional network mutual aid mode can be eliminated, and a new open and transparent network mutual aid platform can be established.
of course, the coin here is what we often call token, which originally means token (temporary) in computer identity authentication. With the popularity of blockchain and digital currency, people have a variety of translations for token, including token, integral, certificate, logo, indicator, etc
the understanding of token in the market can be divided into two categories
in the first category, 99% of the people think token means token, because 99.9% of the projects do the same thing. Set up a foundation, build a website, write a white paper, and then go to ICO. Because most of the projects are still in the conceptual stage, token itself has no other meaning except trading, so people call it token, which performs the function of currency to some extent
in the second category, professionals and institutions are more willing to translate token into proof of equity, or token. For example, a person's identity certificate, academic certificate, equity, bonds, points, bills, etc., are authentic and tamperable because of the proof of rights and interests. Every proof of interest becomes more secure and reliable through the protection of cryptography
therefore, blockchain is not only a technology, but also a new mode of proction and organization, even a new thinking
so, the question now is, does the blockchain project have to issue currency
answer: you may not issue currency. Not all blockchain projects need to be issued with currency, and it is not necessarily blockchain projects that issue currency
for example, the alliance chain does not need to issue coins. For example, Tencent's q-coin, in principle, is also a kind of currency, but it is not a blockchain project
therefore, the two are not related, but if they are public chains, they need to issue coins. Why
let's take bitcoin as an example. Bitcoin system as a public chain must rely on the existence of bitcoin. Public chain obtains the stability and non tamperability of its system through the nodes distributed all over the world, and these properties are the basis for the existence of public chain
imagine that if the bitcoin system is unstable or can be easily tampered with, bitcoin will be worthless. These nodes are not set up by one or several companies, otherwise they are equivalent to private chain or alliance chain. These nodes must be built dynamically by many participants. And the existence of these nodes must need some kind of incentive, otherwise why do the builders of these nodes want to participate in your system. And this kind of incentive must be integrated with the blockchain system, and it must be money
then why is it currency, not legal currency, such as RMB, as an incentive
if RMB is used as incentive, because RMB should be stored in the RMB account, and the account itself is centralized, so it's easy to be controlled. Just think about why domestic bitcoin exchanges are so afraid of the central bank, and they are afraid of being weaned. In addition, RMB can't react with smart contracts within the blockchain
the electronic currency issued by the central bank can not be used as the original currency and incentive of a blockchain system. Why
if the central bank or a rich person wants to destroy a project, they just need to take out enough e-money to do enough nodes and attack 51%. Therefore, it is impossible to use the e-money issued by the central bank as the original currency and incentive blockchain system. However, blockchain projects with independent native currency and incentives have no such worries
If a person or organization wants to get enough nodes to carry out 51% attacks, it must first get more than 50% enough coins, and the amount of coins in the market is certain, so before it gets enough coins, the soaring price will make it hard for him to bear
therefore, a public chain project must have money. A public chain project without money is like a castrated person
in addition, only through the token and reasonable stimulation of output, can the proction relationship be changed and the value of blockchain be brought into play. Therefore, the project must have token, which can promote the development of the project faster. Token solves the problem of incentive and consensus, and incentive solves the problem of autonomy. The positive autonomous economic ecosystem and the underlying technology of blockchain are a perfect combination.
Pure blockchain technology can also be applied in non-financial fields. Here are some examples of blockchain technology application:
-
cross center sharing of provident fund blacklist
ant financial blockchain and Huaxin Yong build "cloud platform of joint dishonesty punishment and deposit proof", Hainan province takes the lead in sharing the black list and deposit certificate of provident fund across centers and regions through the platform -
business service blockchain platform
the platform uses blockchain technology to open the service mode of "all-weather, zero meeting, one click" and applicants can apply for business license through the "blockchain + AI" platform, which takes only one and a half hours -
Jingdong Logistics creates a blockchain traceability platform with one click traceability of beef and mutton
< / OL >
there are many areas where blockchain technology can be applied, and it does not have to be related to digital currency. Cryptography focuses on blockchain information< br />
the fourth category is the asset token blockchain project. Asset token refers to linking blockchain assets to physical assets such as gold and US dollars. It is the blockchain mapping of physical assets. At present, there are no more than 10 varieties. The typical representative is usdt against US dollars, digix Dao against gold, digix. Each token represents 1 gram of Gold Certified by London Bullion Market Association
asset token has the advantages of convenient transaction and storage. First of all, asset token is more convenient for transaction. Because blockchain assets can be split, it has better liquidity. For example, at present, real estate needs to be transferred as a whole. If the real estate can be token, it can be split and purchased, which is more convenient for transaction
secondly, the token of physical assets is more concive to custody. Gold is easy to wear out and cause losses in physical transactions. However, after the token of physical assets, there is no need for physical transfer, which is more concive to the custody of physical assets.

With the rapid increase in the number of bitcoin scams, there are easy ways to check whether a cheater has been reported to have used a bitcoin address, such as in a counterfeit bitcoin gift. You can also easily report any bitcoin address associated with the fraud
check the "bitcoin abuse" database
the number of bitcoin scams has been growing rapidly. Many of them ask people to send bitcoin to the address they provide. For example, the bitcoin giveaway scam promises to double the number of bitcoins you send. Last week's major twitter hacking, for example, included many highly regarded tweets about fake bitcoin gifts
before sending bitcoin to an address, you can check whether the address is reported as fraulent. Bitcoin abuse is a popular website with a public database of bitcoin addresses used by hackers and criminals. You can look up bitcoin addresses, report fraulent addresses, and monitor addresses reported by others
if the bitcoin address you searched on the website has been reported by others, the website will display information, such as the number of times the address was reported, the date and time of the last report, the total amount of bitcoin received, and the number of transactions. There will also be a link to blockchain info for you to track transactions at that address. The site will also display all reports filed at that address
{rrrrrrr}
fraud alert website also provides some useful information about different types of encryption scams, such as pornography, blackmail software, Ponzi scheme, gifts, black net and theft. It provides some basic advice to prevent fraud, such as "don't trust anyone" and "verify.". The website lists the addresses of the top ten scams. According to the funds received, the most successful scams are Ponzi scheme, fake exchange and fake bitcoin gifts. YouTube also has a lot of bitcoin scams in videos and advertisements, especially fake gifts. The fraudsters claimed that celebrities such as SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Microsoft founder Bill Gates, Virgin Galactic chairman chamath palihapitiya and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos were giving away bitcoin. The fake Elon Musk BTC giveaway is one of the most successful bitcoin scams, making millions of dollars
before twitter was hacked, whale alert reported on July 10 that it "can confirm that in the past four years, fraudsters have stolen only $38 million of bitcoin (excluding Ponzi scheme, which is a billion dollar instry)), of which $24 million is in the first six months of 2020."
