Missed the blockchain Market

1.

in 2019, the market scale of China's blockchain instry will reach 1.2 billion yuan

in 2016, the market scale of China's blockchain instry will be about 100 million yuan, and it will grow to 1 billion yuan by 2018.
in 2019, the scale of China's blockchain instry will grow steadily, with an instrial scale of about 1.2 billion yuan. With the attention and attention of local governments, it is estimated that by 2022, the market scale of China's blockchain core procts and solutions and related derivative instries will reach 10 billion yuan

from the research results, in terms of consensus mechanism, China's consensus mechanism graally moves from single algorithm to mixed consensus; In terms of cryptographic algorithms, cryptographic algorithms such as secure multiparty computation, homomorphic encryption and zero knowledge proof are continuously integrated and applied; The research of cross chain technology and security technology has graally become a research hotspot

from the perspective of blockchain hardware, at present, the world's most important digital currency mining equipment suppliers are all located in China, and only bitmainland, Jianan Yun and Yibang technology occupy more than 90% of the market share

from the perspective of instry application, the financial instry is the instry with the largest number of blockchain technology implementation projects and the richest scenarios, such as supply chain finance, asset certificate aromatization, credit reference and risk control

in 2020, the blockchain instry will be further standardized

in 2020, China's blockchain policy will continue to be favorable, the standard specifications will be more perfect, the instrial scale will continue to grow, the technology will continue to innovate and develop, and the application demonstration effect in key fields will accelerate. At the same time, according to the problems existing in the development of China's blockchain in 2019, CCID blockchain Research Institute puts forward six suggestions: accelerating the formulation of top-level design, establishing and improving the regulatory system, accelerating the innovation and development of core technologies, promoting the third-party evaluation and certification, strengthening the cultivation of professional talents, and accelerating the implementation of applications in various fields

- the above data comes from the analysis report of China's blockchain instry market outlook and investment strategic planning of foresight Instry Research Institute

Because the blockchain technology is not mature at this stage, and the infrastructure is not perfect, many applications are limited, and the overall application is still in a very early stage

First of all, the main function of blockchain is to store information. Any information that needs to be saved can be written to or read from the blockchain, so it is a database. Secondly, anyone can set up a server and join the blockchain network to become a node. In the world of blockchain, there is no central node (decentralization). Every node is equal and keeps the whole database. You can write / read data to any node, because all nodes will be synchronized in the end to ensure the consistency of the blockchain

3. The disappearance should be temporary, just as newspapers are still there after Internet news. However, the new technology will certainly bring some impact or even impact. Blockchain may affect the following 12 instry regions:
1. Banking
as a digital, secure and anti-interference account, blockchain realizes the core function of Banking: the safe storage and transfer center of value. In other words, in the next few years, a wave of companies based on blockchain technology may affect the banking instry. Indeed, UBS, a Swiss company, and baecelays, a British company, are trying to use blockchain technology to improve payment terms. Some other banking companies even said blockchain technology could save $20 billion in intermediate costs

therefore, it is not surprising that banks, as financial service giants, have become the growth force of blockchain venture. Payment and transfer
recently, the world economic forum wrote in Forbes magazine that decentralized payment technology, such as bitcoin, may change the "business structure" of the transfer instry that has not changed for more than 100 years. Blockchain technology can avoid complex systems and create a more direct payment process between the payer and the payee. Whether it is domestic transfer or cross-border transfer, this method has the characteristics of low price, fast speed, and no intermediate fees. Abra (above) is a start-up enterprise that uses blockchain technology for global bitcoin and blockchain based transfer
3. Network security
although the system of blockchain is public, advanced encryption technology is used in the process of data exchange such as verification and transmission. This technology not only ensures the correct source of data, but also ensures that the data will not be intercepted in the intermediate process. If the application of blockchain technology is more extensive, the probability of being attacked by hackers may also decrease. Therefore, people think that blockchain system is more secure than traditional system. One of the reasons why blockchain system can rece the traditional network security risk is that it relieves the demand for middleman
"eliminating middlemen not only reces the potential security risk of hacker attacks, but also reces the possibility of corruption," Goldman Sachs wrote. Guardtime (above) is an Estonian start-up company, which mainly studies instrial network security solutions based on blockchain technology
4. Academic record and academia
holbertson school, a California software skills program, announced that it will use blockchain technology to identify academic credentials. This will ensure the authenticity of holbertson school students in course identification. If more schools adopt such transparent certificates, transcripts and diplomas, academic corruption will be greatly reced, not to mention the labor verification time and paper document cost
5. Elections
at the University of West Virginia, the student union is considering whether to use a voting platform based on blockchain technology to conct school elections. If such a platform is used, students can vote with mobile devices, and the voting results will be included in the public system, so the voting is completely safe. One student who supported this way explained that the vote "can never be modified or deleted by us - programmers, school administrators or students."
Agora voting, a Spanish software project, uses encryption technology to improve the security of online voting. Several of their systems have also been tested in Spain. Recently, the leader of this project proposed several ideas to turn bitcoin and blockchain technology into voting applications, which are far from experimental
6. Car rental and sales
later last year, visa and DocuSign announced a cooperative plan to create specific solutions for car rental by using blockchain technology. In the future, car rental can be completed in three steps of "click, sign and open". The specific operation is: customers choose the car they want to rent, and then the transaction will be uploaded to the public account of the blockchain; Then, the customer signs a lease agreement and an insurance agreement from the driver's seat, and the blockchain will upload the information in real time. It is not hard to imagine that this leasing model may also be applied to the field of car sales and car registration
7. Network communication and Internet of things
IBM and Samsung are working together to realize an idea called adept. Adept uses blockchain technology to build the pillar of decentralized Internet of things. Coindesk said that with adept, the decentralized P2P automatic telemetry system, the blockchain can become a public system for many devices, and there is no need for a central hub to mediate the communication of various devices. After removing the central control system and identifying each other, the devices can automatically communicate with each other, manage software updates, bugs, or energy consumption
other companies are also committed to integrating blockchain technology into the Internet of things platform. For example, filamen, which uses blockchain technology to build a decentralized network for sensor communication, announced that they have obtained US $5 million investment in round a financing, with the participation of Verizon ventures and Samsung ventures
8. Smart contract
a smart contract is actually a computer program that functions on the action of another object. Like ordinary computer programs, intelligent contracts are also an "If then" function, but blockchain technology realizes the automatic filling of these "contracts" without human intervention. This kind of contract may eventually replace the core business of the legal instry, that is, the business of drafting and managing contracts in the commercial and civil fields
for example, mortgage loans can be completed through blockchain technology and automatically executed every year according to the terms of the contract. Ethereum, a crowdfunding platform based on blockchain technology, not only provides decentralized applications, but also provides smart contracts. Some users have married with their smart contracts. Another company, hedgy, received $1.2 million in seed round investment from Tim Draper, Marc Benioff, boost.vc and sand hill angels earlier this year. The company uses smart contracts to build a platform for users to discuss the value of bitcoin
9. Prediction
blockchain technology may shake the whole research, analysis, consulting and prediction instry. Aug, an online crowdfunding platform, hopes to make a profit in a decentralized forecasting platform. The company said it would offer a service that looked like a gaming swap. The whole process will be decentralized, and the AUG platform will not only provide users with sports and stock gambling services, but also provide election and natural disaster gambling services. This idea actually goes beyond sports gambling and creates a "forecasting market"
10. Online music
many musicians are choosing blockchain technology to improve the fairness of online music sharing. Billboard reports that two companies are automatically solving licensing problems by paying artists directly and using smart contracts. Peertracks, which is still in its infancy, wants to create a new music streaming platform where users can pay artists directly without middleman's intervention. Peertracks also hopes to create more direct interaction between artists and users
ujo music, led by entrepreneur Phil Barry, claims that they are rebuilding the music instry on the blockchain. Ujo also hopes to solve the problem of streaming music and artist payment. In addition to streaming music, it is also expected that ujo will be able to better classify the artists and creators behind the songs by using intelligent contracts as the autonomous brain of the song list
11. Travel sharing
Uber and other travel applications seem to be on the opposite side of decentralization. This company is like a deployment center, using its algorithm to control its drivers and their charges. According to the report of blog, Israeli venture LA & # 39; Zooz wants to "go against Uber.". The company invented its own patented digital currency, which, like bitcoin, can be digitally recorded using blockchain technology. Different from the centralized network, users can call in LA & # 39; Find people with similar itinerary on zooz, and then use LA & # 39; Zooz's currency pays the taxi fare. These coins can be used for car hailing in the future. Users can get LA & # 39 as long as they allow the app to track their location; Zooz's digital currency
12. Stock trading
for many years, companies have been trying to simplify the process of stock purchase, sales and trading. Emerging blockchain technology makers believe that they can go beyond the past, realize the automation of the whole process, and improve security and efficiency. Overstock's subsidiary T & # Com wants to use blockchain technology to realize online trading of stocks. Overstock is already using blockchain technology to issue public shares, wired reported. At the same time, chain, a blockchain technology maker (mentioned above), is working with NASDAQ to realize the share trading of private companies through blockchain technology.

4. Hello, subject. Blockchain and bitcoin are two different concepts. Blockchain is a technology, and bitcoin is the name of a digital currency! The following topic for the main careful explanation, I hope the main adoption
blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. The so-called consensus mechanism is a mathematical algorithm to establish trust and obtain interests between different nodes in the blockchain system
blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin, which is essentially a decentralized database and the underlying technology of bitcoin. Blockchain is a series of data blocks generated by cryptography. Each data block contains the information of a bitcoin network transaction, which is used to verify the validity of the information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, open source software was designed and released, and P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million
bitcoin can be cashed and converted into the currency of most countries. Users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items.

5. The government of the country in which these platforms operate and operate is responsible for the supervision
for example, the five major bitcoin trading platforms in China, bitera, Xigu and other counterfeit currency platforms are all supervised by relevant Chinese government departments
the branches of the five major domestic exchanges in Hong Kong are supervised by the Hong Kong government
foreign digital trading platforms such as coinbase and btc-e are supervised by their own governments.

6. Blockchain is in the limelight. No, blockchain technology has been developing all the time. It's not right to say that it has no future
the current development of blockchain is still OK. Let's take a few recent examples: on June 14, the white paper on the application of blockchain judicial deposit, which was led by the information center of the high people's court and co sponsored by a total of 25 units, was officially released, and blockchain technology has made achievements in judicial deposit; Recently, visa launched a blockchain payment network to enter the $125 trillion cross-border payment market; Recently, Fuzhou has also issued "three measures on accelerating the development of blockchain instry" to promote the application of blockchain technology
further, there are blockchain electronic invoice, blockchain traceability and so on, so there is no future. Password finance focuses on blockchain, you can learn more here.

7. It's not sure. Who can say exactly about the financial market? I suggest you stop asking here and go to professional big data companies, such as Huike, which specializes in financial public opinion monitoring and data analysis, and ask them to give you a data report, which is more useful than anything else.

8. It is mainly to promote the implementation of blockchain technology and application scenarios
the core advantage of blockchain technology is decentralization, which can realize point-to-point transaction, coordination and cooperation based on decentralized credit in a distributed system without mutual trust by means of data encryption, time stamp, distributed consensus and economic incentive, so as to solve the high cost and low cost of centralized institutions Low efficiency and data storage insecurity provide solutions
the application fields of blockchain include digital currency, token, finance, anti-counterfeiting traceability, privacy protection, supply chain, entertainment, etc. with the popularity of blockchain and bitcoin, many related top domain names have been registered, which has a great impact on the domain name instry.
