What industries has blockchain changed
to apply blockchain, we must first understand the characteristics of blockchain: decentralization, openness, autonomy, non tampering information and anonymity
it is of great benefit to the following instries:
1. Art investment
using blockchain technology, we can track the source of art. Because every transaction has a digital certificate, and is unique, avoid black market transactions
2. Literary works
because blockchain is traceable, it can avoid the occurrence of piracy. Once a work is created, later people can it, and you can find it immediately
3. Finance
some financial payment and clearing systems are imperfect, especially cross-border payment. Blockchain is not only an information registration system, but also a payment system. Therefore, the account book can not be modified and open, so that it can serve the financial market;
- original title: market analysis of China's blockchain instry in 2019: enabling various instries to accelerate the application landing, there will be two opportunities for future applications
2019 - blockchain "mainstream application year"
since August 2018, the electronic invoice of blockchain was issued for the first time in Shenzhen. So far, it has issued more than 6 million electronic invoices, with an amount of 4 billion yuan, and has access to more than 5300 enterprises, Covering more than 110 detailed instries. In addition to the field of electronic invoice, blockchain has also been successfully implemented in many project scenarios, such as supply chain finance, legal deposit, cross-border payment, etc.
at the recent "thousands of people watching fire" conference of blockchain instry, the reporter of economic daily learned that in 2019, the technology implementation and application has brought blockchain into the "mainstream application year". On the one hand, many Internet giants have a solid technical foundation, on the other hand, they actively explore more valuable scenarios to find development opportunities in the enabling real economy
"blockchain technology can play the role of anchoring, sharing and increasing trust in the whole social information flow, making the chaotic information credible. Compared with the past, this is a" qualitative leap. " Zhang Kaixiang, chief architect of Weizhong bank's blockchain, said, "risk control and business rules design based on trusted data can improve efficiency, rece risks and rece operating costs." He pointed out that as a connector, it is not meaningful for a single enterprise to operate the blockchain, and it is more meaningful to share it as an open source solution to realize the ecological co construction of the instry
"we have been exploring and practicing open source, starting from the underlying technology platform and combining with the scenes of finance, instry, Internet of things, culture and entertainment, to jointly build an open, transparent and efficient technology and instrial community. Open source ecology helps to activate the creativity of the instry. We will continue to start from the open source community and improve a complete set of systems such as system construction and skills training, so as to benefit more people. "
in 2019, the market scale of China's blockchain instry will exceed 100 million yuan
China's blockchain instry is still in its infancy, but with the continuous support of national policies, the continuous progress of instry technology and the increasing demand of downstream application fields, China's blockchain instry is expected to continue to maintain high-speed growth. According to the statistical data of in depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of China's blockchain instry published by foresight Instry Research Institute, the market scale of China's blockchain instry was less than 6 million yuan in 2011, and the market scale of China's blockchain instry increased by 32 million yuan by 2017, By 2018, the market scale of China's blockchain instry has reached 67 million yuan, always maintaining a rapid growth rate of more than 80%. It is predicted that the market scale of China's blockchain instry will exceed 100 million yuan in 2019, and that in 2022, driven by policy support and downstream demand, the market scale of China's blockchain instry is expected to exceed 450 million yuan
market size statistics and growth forecast of China's blockchain instry from 2015 to 2022 
data source: the audited enterprise asset confirmation, registration and circulation records, etc., sorted out by foresight Instry Research Institute, are stored on the platform in the form of traceability. Based on this, banks can carry out fast financing and loan business, save the cost of guarantee and other links, greatly improve the efficiency, and make the risk of financing and loan controllable as a whole
electronic data storage is an important application field of blockchain technology.
the provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues concerning the trial of cases by Internet courts, which came into effect in September 2018, clearly states that electronic data storage can be solved by blockchain and other technical means. Xiang Dan, vice president of bibox digital asset trading platform, said that electronic data deposit is an important application field of blockchain technology“ Blockchain technology has the characteristics of preventing tampering, leaving traces in the event, post audit and security protection, which is concive to improving the credibility and authenticity of electronic evidence. The combination of blockchain and electronic data storage can rece the cost of electronic data storage, improve judicial efficiency and enable judicial business. For example, the contract management based on blockchain has been applied in many Internet courts. "
according to Zhou Jianrui, co founder of coinword, a trusted content community, the application of electronic data storage based on blockchain can also help deepen the reform of "release management and service" and improve administrative efficiency. In Beijing Haidian District and other pilot areas, blockchain technology is playing the role of efficient data sharing, secure transmission and credit support. When applied in the field of government affairs, it can realize real-time data sharing of various departments and effectively assist window personnel and examination and approval personnel to quickly verify the authenticity of materials. For example, the public security, civil affairs, housing management and other departments "on the chain", in dealing with real estate transactions can be fast and accurate, "one key" verification of multi-party information, greatly saving social costs
there will be two opportunities for the application of blockchain
because the social recognition of blockchain is not high, the people who understand and use blockchain are still very limited, and the penetration of blockchain into the real economy still needs a graal process. " Yuan Yuming, CEO of fire coin China, introced that they used the open, transparent and tamper proof characteristics of blockchain to explore a new path of art traceability and anti-counterfeiting by means of high-precision full pixel scanning and archiving; By constructing the trust mechanism in the multi-party cooperation scenario, the integral information platform for multi-party participation and resource sharing is developed“ Next, there will be two opportunities for blockchain application:
one is training. With the entry of enterprise giants one after another and the continuous penetration of the real instry, more people will learn about blockchain through training, which will become a new market demand
the second is to provide consulting and technical solutions to more traditional enterprises to help them penetrate the blockchain into more traditional fields and promote the consumption rection, efficiency enhancement, transformation and upgrading of the real instry. "
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.
the instries that benefit from blockchain creation include: e to the high degree of integration, blockchain technology can not only provide technical support or meet the needs of scenarios for enterprises in the financial field, but also proce catalytic effect on some manufacturing enterprises after integration through their own characteristics such as high-end equipment
with the graal maturity of blockchain technology, six fields supported by science and Technology Innovation Board will adopt more and more research reports released by lianxun securities show that with the help of policy dividend and instrial capital, the application of blockchain technology is expected to develop rapidly in the future, and graally radiate to other instries and scenarios starting from the financial instry
Russia's World Cup brings us $14 billion in revenue to Russia, with GDP growth rate of about 1%. During the world cup, it is estimated that fans around the world can also bring us $3 billion in revenue, with GDP growth rate of about 0.2%. There are three main reasons:
1. Hotels: there is a sudden increase in foreign tourists, but there are only a few local hotels. The reservation quantity and price of hotels also went up ring the world cup. In 2014, the number of restaurants in Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo, the big cities of Brazil World Cup, increased to 1-2 times, and the famous coastal area of Copacabana increased to 220%, Manaus, the most remote, has even risen tenfold
2. Air tickets: ring the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, the price of air tickets on the date and time of the competition is more than five times higher than that on the adjacent dates. The number of international flights scheled to fly to Russia ring this year's world cup has exceeded twice that of the same period last year, and the number of tourists will reach the highest at the start of the competition, and maintain a high level in the rest of June, 118.3% higher than that of last year
In 2006, the average price of all 2.7 million tickets for the world cup in Germany was about $300, and the ticket revenue alone was more than $1 billion. In 2014, the ticket and commodity price revenue of the world cup in Brazil reached 500 million yuan, and the average audience of the world cup exceeded 53000, which was the highest in the past five years During the world cup, many foreign fans will not go back to their hometown just to watch the airport games. They will have a special dish in the daytime, barbecue with beer in the evening, and then go to the souvenir shop to buy the same model of the world cup. The fans will definitely have a good time in the local area and then go home. The consumption of these fans has greatly boosted the local economic growth. The per capita consumption of foreign tourists arriving in Germany ring the 2006 World Cup is between 965 and 1200 US dollarsticket revenue is 400 million euro, tourist consumption revenue is about 3 billion euro, other private consumption is about 4 billion euro, creating 138000 jobs, driving GDP growth by 0.3%
based on this, blockchain technology is considered to be the core technology with the most potential to trigger the fifth round of disruptive revolution after steam engine, power, information and Internet technology.
