Blockchain players compete for a new position
1. Germination stage: the real germination stage of blockchain was from 2007 to 2009. In 2008, a Japanese American with the pseudonym of Nakamoto first expounded a new fantasy report on electronic money in the form of a synonym on the cryptography discussion group, and bitcoin came out. As early as 2007, Nakamoto began to explore a series of new technologies to create a new currency. On October 31, 2008, bitcoin white paper was released, and on January 3, 2009, bitcoin system officially began to operate
the main technologies supporting bitcoin system include hash function, distributed ledger, blockchain and asymmetric encryption; It can be seen that these technologies build the initial version of the blockchain, and it can also be said that the blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin. During the three years from 2007 to 2009, bitcoin was an experimental stage in which a very small number of people participated, and the real commercial activities had not really started
2. "Geek" niche stage: here, "geek" refers to people who are crazy about Internet technology and take technological innovation as fashion and life. On February 6, 2010, the first exchange of bitcoin appeared. On May 22 of the same year, someone bought two hamburgers with 10000 bitcoins. On July 17 of the same year, the exchange Mt. GOx was established, marking the official inflow of bitcoin into the market. Nevertheless, the only people who can really understand and enter the market to participate in bitcoin trading are geeks who are keen on Internet technology. They discuss bitcoin technology on the forum, mine for bitcoin on their own computers, and then buy and sell bitcoin on Mt. GOx. Now these geeks have become billionaires
3. Market brewing stage: the price of bitcoin was $13 at the beginning of 2013, but on March 18 of the same year, the government of Cyprus closed the bank and stock market e to the financial crisis, which made the price of bitcoin soar, and the highest price rose to $266 in April. On August 20 of the same year, the German government confirmed the currency status of bitcoin. On October 14, China network announced the opening of bitcoin payment channel. In November, the US Senate hearing also confirmed the legitimacy of bitcoin. On November 19, the price of bitcoin rose to US $1242, forming a new high. Nevertheless, the foundation for blockchain to enter the mainstream social economy is not yet available, and the soaring price of bitcoin is only e to over optimistic expectations. The containment of China's banking system, the collapse of Mt. GOx and other events made the price of bitcoin continue to fall. At the beginning of 2015, the price of bitcoin has dropped below $200. From 2013 to the beginning of 2015, the public began to understand bitcoin and blockchain
4. The mainstream period of blockchain: on June 23, 2016, the United Kingdom left the European Union, the fifth nuclear test of North Korea in September, Trump's election in November and other events, the uncertainty of the world's mainstream economy led to the recovery of bitcoin with the function of risk aversion. The market demand was large, and the increase of trading volume made the price of bitcoin soar from $400 in 2016 to $20000 in 2017, The wealth effect of bitcoin and the transaction overflow caused by network congestion of bitcoin have led to the outbreak of other series of virtual currencies, as well as a variety of blockchain applications, resulting in the emergence of a large number of blockchain assets that are 100 times, even 1000 times and 10000 times, which has aroused the crazy pursuit of the world, Subsequently, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange launched bitcoin futures trading, marking that bitcoin has officially entered the mainstream investment proct series, and bitcoin and blockchain have entered the global attention
5. Instry landing stage: after the market frenzy in 2017, the virtual currency and blockchain have been adjusted in terms of market, supervision, cognition, etc. in 2018, returning to rationality. In 2017, many blockchain projects that follow the blockchain technology will graally die out with the cooling of the market, and the projects with real blockchain applications will be initially implemented. 2018 is not only the first year of the blockchain, but also a gold rush period for the blockchain. After the waves wash away the sand, what remains is relatively good gold
from the perspective of the history of blockchain development, blockchain technology is not yet mature and is currently in the growth period. The specific practical application of blockchain is only used in the financial field. It still needs a long way to go to apply blockchain from other instries. However, we should grasp the trend of blockchain and actively learn from the new field of blockchain.
2017 is the first year of blockchain outbreak, and 2018 will be the first year of blockchain landing
what changes has blockchain brought to the world from 1.0 to 3.0
the development of blockchain can be divided into three stages: point-to-point transaction, smart contract and pan blockchain application Ecology (token economy)
blockchain 1.0 era: the era of digital currency return rate is the king, Digital currency trading is the most important form for people to participate in the blockchain. At this stage, few people really pay attention to the application value of digital currency, let alone the practical value of blockchain technology behind it. People's focus is on the rate of return of digital currency, which is equivalent to buying stocks on another disk. However, this "stock" is more active, and the rate of return is amazing. Of course, it is also full of sorrow
blockchain 2.0 era: smart contract provides infrastructure support for upper layer application development
"smart contract" era, which is the real programmable blockchain, usually represented by "Ethereum", supports Turing's complete scripting language at this stage, It provides the necessary infrastructure for developers to develop any application on the basis of their set "operating system", and realizes the application landing of virtual world. The biggest contribution of blockchain 2.0 is to completely subvert the traditional concepts of currency and payment through smart contracts. In the era of blockchain 2.0, blockchain has formed a trust foundation based on the characteristics of traceability and non tampering, which provides a trusted execution environment for smart contracts and makes it possible for contracts to be automated and intelligent. The biggest difference between the smart contract and the traditional contract is that it is not restricted by the law of the real society. For the contract subject to automatically execute the agreement after triggering the contract terms, However, the arbitration platform no longer judges the execution result in the smart contract, but undertakes the responsibility of execution
blockchain 3.0: the subversion of business lies in the transformation of proction relations
we are now at the junction of 2.0 era and 3.0 era, which can be regarded as an ideal vision for the future virtual digital currency economy, In blockchain 3.0, people can really realize the asset on the chain, build a variety of applications in a large underlying framework, build a platform with no trust cost, super trading ability and extremely low risk, which can be used to realize the increasingly automated distribution of physical resources and human assets around the world, and promote large-scale cooperation in science, health, ecation and other fields
blockchain 2.0 constructs digital identity, smart contract and other infrastructure. On this basis, it hides the complexity of underlying technology, and application developers can focus more on application logic and business logic. That is to say, we have entered the era of blockchain 3.0, which is marked by the emergence of token. Token is the value transmission carrier on the blockchain network, which can also be understood as token or token
the greatest effect of token on human society lies in its transformation of proction relations. Joint stock companies will be replaced, and every actual participant will become the owner of proction capital. This new type of proction relations inspires every participant to contribute his proctivity continuously, which is a great liberation of proctivity. If this kind of business activity is mapped into the inflation of real society, as long as the former outperforms the latter, every token holder will gain over time
it's too early to talk about blockchain 3.0. Although blockchain has gone out of the conceptual stage, the current situation of blockchain technology development is that the underlying technology is not mature enough and the application scenarios are limited. On the one hand, consensus algorithm and other core technologies of blockchain still have room for optimization and improvement; On the other hand, the processing efficiency of blockchain is difficult to meet the requirements of some high-frequency application environments in reality. Moreover, the current mainstream blockchain technology platforms are all originated from abroad. Domestic blockchain technology service providers should patiently start from the bottom development, achieve independent and controllable technology, and strive to lead the development of global blockchain technology, which still needs a certain period of time
the final goal of the competition is to really concentrate on the research of technology and the development of practical application enterprises! According to my observation, among the various applications based on Ethereum, SEC social e-commerce chain has a great chance of landing, which is likely to become a killer application. In the official account of SECblock, weekly weekly reports show that the team is working hard. p>
the blockchain instry is in the stage of rapid development
China's blockchain instry is in the stage of rapid development. According to the data of the "in-depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of blockchain instry" released by foresight Instry Research Institute, by the end of March 2018, the number of blockchain companies with blockchain business as the main business in China has reached 456, from upstream hardware manufacturing, platform services, security services to downstream instrial technology application services, To ensure the development of the instry investment and financing, media, talent services, companies in various fields have been basically complete
according to the classification of application scenarios of top 20 enterprises in the ranking list, in addition to 13 enterprises focusing on the infrastructure and platform construction of blockchain such as underlying platform and blockchain hardware, the application scenarios of blockchain have graally enriched. According to the distribution of instry segments, there are 7 instry application companies, mainly Internet companies (Alibaba, Jingdong, Tencent) used in public welfare and commodity traceability, and innovative financial technology applications evolved by financial enterprises (Ping An, CMB, BOC), such as supply chain finance, bills and transaction clearing
as the blockchain can realize the non tampering of information, the possibility of data falsification is eliminated from the root, especially in the financial instry, which has high requirements for real data, it will embrace the blockchain more actively
analysis on the development trend of blockchain
Second, blockchain has become a new hot spot for innovation and entrepreneurship, and technology integration will expand new application space
3. Blockchain will be widely implemented in the real economy in the next three years and become an important support for the construction of Digital China
fourthly, blockchain creates a new platform economy and opens a new era of sharing economy
fifthly, blockchain accelerates the process of "credible digitization" and drives finance to "move from virtual to real" to serve the real economy< Sixth, the blockchain supervision and standard system will be further improved, and the instrial development foundation will continue to be consolidated
in addition, as an emerging technology, there are still many technical difficulties in the application of blockchain in the actual proction environment of the financial instry, such as throughput, scalability, consensus mechanism, privacy and security, manageability, etc
technological innovation such as blockchain is of great significance to the financial instry, which is expected to accelerate the process of "credible digitization" and continuously drive the financial instry to "move from virtual to real".
A few days ago, the person in charge of ant financial services said that we should be alert to all kinds of deceptions in the name of blockchain, and let this technology that should have proced greater value become a victim. He said that the next year's block chain is likely to usher in the collapse of the bubble, but this also means that the real value of the block chain is beginning to emerge. p> The four challenges are security, information protection, transaction performance and incentive mechanism. For example, in the aspect of information protection, effective technical solutions need to be found between the information protection demands of sensitive information and trade secrets (not let others know) and the consensus of multi-party participation (let more people know), etc
experts said that we should be alert to all kinds of deceptions in the name of blockchain, and let the technology itself, which should have proced greater value, become victims. In the coming year, the block chain will probably usher in the burst of bubbles and the emergence of real value, and will also usher in scale applications in the commercial field within 2-3 years. p>

the biggest consensus of blockchain is to make money
there will be a process for the advancement of blockchain consensus. In the current flood and famine period, making money based on cognition and circle is still in consensus 1.0 stage. Fortunately, its size is not enough to affect the overall situation of the world economic structure, and the cost of supervision and policy intervention is low. In the large community of blockchain, more roles need to be involved, In particular, the government with service functions should not be absent, and the people in the community should not act like frightened birds, independent from the outside world
the bustling blockchain communities are not forests, but bird nests in a few trees at most. They chatter in order to grab food. Even if there is a third-class wind, everyone will be scattered. If you really want to dream of building a forest, you should bravely go down the tree, dig ditches and divert water
as the backbone of emerging technologies, blockchain is not only used in the field of virtual currency, but also in other fields such as finance, medical care, intellectual property certification, etc. a large number of excellent enterprises have emerged at home and abroad to explore or enter the blockchain instry. Microsoft, IBM, Tencent, Ali, JP Morgan, Netease and Xiaomi have all laid out blockchain, and blockchain will blossom in many fields in the past two years
it can be seen that blockchain technology is developing rapidly in the world. Perhaps in the next few years, blockchain related technologies will be applied to the field of intelligence and notarization, including identity information authentication, notarization, arbitration, audit, e-mail, personal visa, ticketing information and so on. The application scope can cover the whole society, and blockchain technology is likely to become the lowest level protocol of Internet of things.
