Disintermediation of blockchain
what is centralization
the so-called centralization means "ownership" or ownership by the company. For example, Tencent's q-coin, which is issued by Tencent, is a kind of centralized electronic currency, including the total amount and the issuing method, is supervised and controlled by Tencent. You can use it, trade and go shopping, but you always have to operate in the framework of Tencent, and the final right of interpretation belongs to Tencent
the issuing mode of bitcoin is preset by the program and encryption algorithm, and runs on multiple nodes all over the world. No one or organization can modify it (everyone has his own account book, so it is impossible for one person to control everyone's account book at the same time. If there is such a technology, why should it be so complicated, If you want to blackmail money into your account, you will be the richest man in the world. There is no one left, And it is not controlled by any single person or organization
take an example: for example, Lao Zhang borrows 100 yuan from Lao Li, but Lao Li is afraid that he will default, so he asks the village head to do notarization and write down the account. This is called centralization. But if you don't find the village head, you can use the loudspeaker to shout in the village: "I Lao Li lent Lao Zhang 100 yuan! Please put it in the account book. "We all put this account in our own account book. This is called decentralization
anyone who transfers money between them will release information through loudspeakers. After receiving the information, everyone will record the transaction in their own account book. With distributed ledgers, it doesn't matter if Lao Zhang or Lao Li's ledgers are lost, because Lao Zhao, Lao Ma, Lao Wang and other families have ledgers
the main advantages of blockchain are that it does not need intermediary participation, the whole process is open and transparent, and the cost is low, and the data security is high
at present, blockchain is in a stage where everyone talks about blockchain, but can't perceive its actual technical charm. Since 2017, it has graally come into our sight, and we have graally realized that bitcoin is more fierce than real estate speculation (the price of mining machinery has skyrocketed! The news is on the screen But I still don't know
so, in which fields can blockchain be applied, what kind of changes will it bring to our future life
the core key: everyone has an account book, everyone has an account book, and the information recorded in each person's account book is consistent and synchronous, and the information is completely transparent. If it is fake, it will be the public enemy of the whole people, which greatly increases the cost of data fraud
core key 2: decentralization, which does not need a central system to manage data, prevents some people from changing data and damages the interests of the majority of people
Application:
1. Account security and privacy protection: currency transfer, exchange, payment system. Blockchain can help prevent data manipulation and fraud, prevent distributed denial of service attacks (DDoS), and effectively protect users' network privacy. Key words: anti counterfeiting, anti-counterfeiting, loan payment
2. Copyright regulation and interest disputes: for example, when a song is downloaded, from the author to the procer and then to the singer, they can get payment in real time through the blockchain, without having to wait for a long time like the traditional way, or even get no reward e to right disputes. Instead of waiting for publishers to provide royalty checks, creators can freely control the process from publishing to payment through blockchain application. Key words: real time receipt, no property dispute
3. Internet of things + artificial intelligence: the intelligent devices in the Internet of things based on the blockchain will be used to monitor the real-time situation of urban infrastructure such as bridges, roads, power grids, etc. the blockchain can connect these intelligent devices together for unified management to help them monitor more efficiently. This will help people better understand how to build a smart city in the future. Key words: unified monitoring, intelligent city
4: proof of existence: in life, once you are asked to prove that you are you, that your mother is your mother, that you have never been married, that the house belongs to you, and so on, things seem very simple. Once it falls on you, it is a great trouble. The application of blockchain technology can perfectly solve the above embarrassment. At that time, all the information that belongs to you will be recorded accurately and can not be tampered with. No one has the right to change it. When the technology develops to a certain stage, birth certificate and marriage certificate may be recorded on the blockchain. Keywords: no keywords
in addition to the application scenarios mentioned above, blockchain technology can also be applied to e-commerce, data storage, logistics and other fields. As long as we grasp the characteristics of blockchain technology, it will become easy to understand.
Blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin. It is essentially a disintermediated database. At the same time, as the underlying technology of bitcoin, it is a series of data blocks generated by using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains the information of a bitcoin network transaction, which is used to verify the effectiveness of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies
in a narrow sense, blockchain is a kind of chain data structure that combines data blocks in a sequential way according to the time sequence, and it can not be tampered with and forged by cryptography
broadly speaking, blockchain technology uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to generate and update data, and uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access It is a new distributed infrastructure and computing method to program and operate data by using intelligent contract composed of automated script code
extended data:
the evolution mode of blockchain is as follows:
& 9642; Blockchain 1.0 - digital currency
▪ Blockchain 2.0 - digital assets and smart contracts
▪ Blockchain 3.0 - Implementation of distributed applications in various instries
blockchain features:
1. Disintermediation. Due to the use of Distributed Accounting and storage, there is no centralized hardware or management organization in the system, the rights and obligations of any node are equal, and the data blocks in the system are jointly maintained by the nodes with maintenance function in the whole system
2. Openness. The system is open. In addition to the private information of all parties to the transaction is encrypted, the data of the blockchain is open to all. Anyone can query the blockchain data and develop related applications through the open interface, so the information of the whole system is highly transparent
3. Autonomy. Blockchain adopts consensus based specifications and Protocols (such as a set of open and transparent algorithms) to enable all nodes in the whole system to exchange data freely and safely in a de trusted environment, so that the trust in "people" is changed into the trust in machines, and any human intervention does not work
The information can not be tampered with. Once the information is verified and added to the blockchain, it will be stored permanently. Unless more than 51% of the nodes in the system can be controlled at the same time, the modification of the database on a single node is invalid. Therefore, the data stability and reliability of the blockchain are extremely high5. Anonymity. Because the exchange between nodes follows a fixed algorithm, the data interaction does not need to be trusted (the program rules in the blockchain will judge whether the activity is effective). Therefore, the counterparties do not need to make the other party trust themselves by disclosing their identities, which is very helpful for the accumulation of credit
Because the design of blockchain is a kind of protection measure, such as distributed computing system with high fault tolerance. Blockchain makes hybrid consistency possible. This makes blockchain suitable for recording events, titles, medical records and other activities that need to include data, identity management, transaction process management and provenance management. Blockchain has great potential for financial disintermediation and has great influence on guiding Global trade
extended data :
1. Blockchain is a new application mode of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm, etc. The so-called consensus mechanism is a mathematical algorithm to establish trust and obtain interests between different nodes in the blockchain system
2. Blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin, which is essentially a disintermediated 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
3. Blockchain - the original blockchain is a kind of decentralized database, which contains a list called blocks, with continuously growing and orderly records. Each block contains a time stamp and a link with the previous block. The block chain is designed so that the data can not be tampered with. Once recorded, the data in a block will be irreversible

Some time ago, a picture of Chinese aunts appearing on the scene of the blockchain conference became popular on the Internet. For a while, it caused a heated discussion. Netizens said one after another: "aunts have been targeted by the blockchain." In fact, since a few years ago, when the concept of blockchain came out, there have been some illegal elements carrying out pyramid selling activities in the name of blockchain, which has become one of the latest varieties of pyramid selling. In fact, with the development of blockchain, all kinds of virtual currencies emerge as the times require. Most of them are scams. In the name of "virtual currency" and "blockchain", swindlers carry out scams. This is mainly to make use of the psychology that investors do not understand virtual currency and blockchain, but want to catch up with the upsurge of virtual currency investment. This kind of scam seems complicated, but it is also very simple. However, once it is cheated, it is difficult to recover the investment
in a word, blockchain technology is not a fraud, but is used by swindlers to cheat investors by using information asymmetry
cross border payment, supply chain finance, insurance, digital bill, asset securitization, bank credit reference and other fields
① cross border payment. Due to the characteristics of disintermediation of blockchain, openness, transparency and non tampering of transactions, no third-party payment institutions join in, which shortens the payment cycle, reces costs and increases the transparency of transactions< (2) digital bill. Blockchain has the characteristics of disintermediation, system stability, consensus mechanism and tamper proof, which can rece the operational risk, market risk and moral risk in the traditional centralized system< (3) credit management. In the field of credit investigation, blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, distrust, timestamp, asymmetric encryption and smart contract, which ensures that limited and controllable credit data sharing and verification can be realized on the basis of effective protection of data privacy< (4) asset securitization. The characteristics of blockchain disintermediation, consensus mechanism and non tampering can increase the efficiency of data flow, rece costs, monitor the real situation of assets in real time, and ensure the trust of all parties in the transaction chain on the underlying assets< (5) supply chain finance. Due to the characteristics of disintermediation, consensus mechanism and non tampering of blockchain, it does not need a third-party credit enhancement agency to verify the authenticity of various relevant vouchers on the supply chain, so as to rece the financing cost and financing cycle< (6) insurance business. With the development of blockchain technology, personal health status, accident records and other information may be uploaded to the blockchain in the future, so that insurance companies can obtain risk information more timely and accurately when customers take out insurance, so as to rece underwriting costs and improve efficiency. The sharing transparency of blockchain reces the information asymmetry and the risk of adverse selection; The characteristics of its history can be traced, which is concive to recing the moral hazard, thus recing the difficulty and cost of insurance management.

2. Application
1. Art instry
ascribe enables artists to declare ownership by using blockchain technology, issue numbered and limited edition works, and target at any type of digital form of art. It even includes a trading market where artists can buy and sell through their websites without any intermediary services
In recent years, bitproof is the most advanced application in many document time stamp applications, which will make the traditional notarization method become the past. Bitproof offers more services than free 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 to impress many people. Although the free bitcoin wallet couperparty also allows simple tokens to be issued and traded among other wallet holders, the tokens of colu can be set with various states and types, can be detached from or returned to the system, and can be stored on BitTorrent's network when the data stored on the blockchain is too large4. Real estate instry
they plan to make the whole instry chain process more modern and solve various problems faced by everyone when participating in real estate, including naming process, land registration, agency, etc
5, Internet of things
a possible application scenario is: generate corresponding behavior through transaction, assign address to each device, inject a certain fee into the address, and perform relevant actions, so as to achieve the application of Internet of things. Similar to: PM2.5 monitoring point data acquisition, server leasing, webcam data call, DNS server, etc
6. Insurance instry in the past two years, the hottest topic in the field of science and technology can not be separated from blockchain technology. This underlying technology, born out of bitcoin, has proved its highly secure and reliable architecture and algorithm design with more than seven years of stable operation. At the same time, with innovative technologies such as distributed ledger and smart contract, it has opened up a huge imagination space for instrial upgrading of many instries. Some instry experts even predict that blockchain technology will set off the second Internet revolution
extended materials:
in 2008, Nakamoto proposed the concept of "blockchain" in the white paper on bitcoin, and established bitcoin network in 2009, developing the first block, namely "Genesis block"
the shared value system of blockchain was first imitated by many cryptocurrencies, and improved in workload proof and algorithm, such as equity proof and scrypt algorithm. Subsequently, the blockchain ecosystem has been evolving all over the world, with the emergence of ICO for the first token sale, Ethereum for smart contract blockchain, "asset token sharing economy with light ownership and heavy right to use" and blockchain countries
at present, people are using this shared value system to develop decentralized applications (DAPP) in all walks of life, and build decentralized autonomous organizations and decentralized autonomous communities (DAS) around the world
