Blockchain changes the Internet
there is a core difference between blockchain and Internet: the value of underlying protocols and upper applications of blockchain and Internet are completely reversed. It mainly comes from the two core features of blockchain:
the first feature is that zero knowledge proof changes the ownership of data. In other words, the user's personal data on the blockchain belongs to the user and does not need to be provided to the application and stored on the central server. Then the core support "data" behind the market value of Internet application layer services, such as bat, will lose its original value in the field of blockchain
another feature is the economic incentive model brought by token, which gives high value to the underlying protocol. In the Internet era, no one pays for HTTP protocol, no one pays for sending and receiving email, and no one pays for Google's search service.
whether from the perspective of information transmission efficiency and resource consumption, or from the perspective of nervous system evolution, blockchain cannot become the mainstream architecture of the Internet, let alone the subversive and revolutionary of the future Internet.
the ultimate goal of Ethereum is not to create some kind of "currency", but to become an excellent underlying protocol that provides a powerful Turing complete scripting language, on which any high-level contract, currency and other decentralized applications can be created. With Ethereum, those who come up with ideas that may greatly change the current situation of currency application will no longer need to start their own blockchain. They can simply use Ethereum script coding to realize their ideas. In short, Ethereum is a basic platform for innovation of district centered language. The core technology behind bitcoin is blockchain technology. Adding "smart contract" to the blockchain is Ethereum.
The most important value of blockchain technology is to solve the credit problem of the Internet, that is, all people witness every transaction together. Therefore, if the blockchain of the Internet is really realized, many credit platforms will disappear directly, and the cost of all virtual transactions will be reced to almost zero. Copyright protection is no longer an issue. Unless the author wants to, you can no longer get free works on the Internet. All music, pictures and articles need to be read for a fee
more and more Internet applications will use blockchain technology to link web pages. Blockchain is not only the carrier of virtual currency, but also the carrier of mainstream Internet information in the future. The application of smart devices such as mobile phones will also adopt blockchain technology to ensure the fairness of transaction and rece the proction cost and transaction cost of proct procers
Internet is a decentralized information transmission system, and blockchain is a decentralized value transmission system. Both are known as great technologies that change the times
the main purpose of the Internet is to realize the rapid transmission and reception of information. Word documents are actually copies of information on the Internet. You have one and others have one
the blockchain is used for value transmission. The transmission of bitcoin on the blockchain is essentially the transmission of ownership. Your bitcoin becomes someone else's bitcoin
the data on the blockchain is highly tamper resistant and can only be used after being verified by most nodes in the whole network. Once the records are recorded, they cannot be modified. Every value transmission on the blockchain is clearly recorded and traceable. Blockchain can build trust among centers. Some people say that blockchain can change the world like the Internet.
