What is the popular explanation of digital currency blockchain

1.

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 high

5. 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

2. In a narrow sense, blockchain is a kind of chained data structure that combines data blocks in chronological order in a way of sequential connection, and it is a distributed account book that can not be tampered with and forged by cryptography. In a broad sense, blockchain technology is a new distributed infrastructure and computing paradigm, which uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to generate and update data, uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access, and uses intelligent contract composed of automated script code to program and operate data
nowadays, the mainstream digital currencies are basically developed based on blockchain technology. Blockchain is the underlying technology of digital currency. The domestic tea based digital currency Puyin is developed based on blockchain technology.

3.

Digital currency is an unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of a specific virtual community. More generally speaking, digital currency is actually a commodity

just like gold, it took more than 200 years to be graally recognized by the world. In the early days, many people questioned gold's ability to store value. If we take digital currency as a substitute, people's questioning attitude towards gold in the past is equivalent to many people's attitude towards digital currency now

extended data

digital currency is a balance between financial security and innovation ability. Financial instry should have clear access threshold. Digital currency involves finance, so it must have clear access threshold. The enterprise qualification of blockchain and digital currency needs to be reviewed and an access system set. One of the core of supervision is that blockchain enterprises must have qualified technical personnel

for example, enterprises of different levels in the construction instry need different levels and numbers of registered structural engineers to ensure the safety of buildings and bridges, which can also be used for reference in the supervision of digital currency. In addition, investors need to refer to the requirements of the "measures for the appropriateness of securities and futures investors" issued by the CSRC, and only those who meet certain conditions can participate in the investment

4. 1. Blockchain is an account book for recording digital currency transactions

taking bitcoin as an example, it does not have an entity form, but exists in a special account book. All bitcoin transactions are recorded in the ledger. Through the transaction records, we can calculate the number of bitcoins owned by each user. If a person owns bitcoin, it means that he can find the relevant transaction records in the ledger

the ledger mentioned here is a software that we can download from bitcoin's official website, and the underlying technology used in this software is blockchain. In order to facilitate understanding, we usually say that blockchain is the ledger

the reason why blockchain is used as the underlying technology of ledger is to realize the feature of digital currency decentralization. It can be said that the starting point of a series of problems and solutions of digital currency comes from decentralization
2. Blockchain is a technology to ensure the safe use of digital currency. As we all know, blockchain technology has the characteristics of encryption and non tampering, which can rece the probability of errors in the use of digital currency to 0. Because digital currency requires higher encryption, it must be supported by blockchain technology. At present, not only many instries in China are using blockchain technology, but also many foreign countries are actively using blockchain technology.

5. In a sense, blockchain can be understood as a database system. With the development of blockchain, it can be divided into 1.0 and 2.0
1.0, represented by bitcoin, which is mainly used in virtual currency or digital currency. At this time, the blockchain can only be used for simple digital currency transactions
2.0 is represented by Ethereum (Ethereum) which is more popular now and hyperledger which is coming out soon. The blockchain at this stage can not only meet the corresponding digital currency transactions, but also use the smart contract to customize the currency or asset transactions. If we use the database as an analogy, the emergence of smart contract can be understood as allowing users to define functions or stored proceres in the database and call and execute them

different from the traditional database, some specific elements such as consensus mechanism, incentive mechanism, P2P (Network), hash and so on are introced into the blockchain, which makes it open, decentralized and tamperable.
