September 4 blockchain
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.
1. Financial services
the application of blockchain in the financial field has already spread out, which is not a new thing. The application of blockchain in financial technology has been widely concerned and highly valued all over the world
in mainland China, China UnionPay signed a strategic cooperation agreement on mobile payment with Bank of China in early 2018, explored cooperation in the field of blockchain, and then cooperated with Jingdong to jointly launch the "Internet financial payment security alliance risk information sharing (distributed query) platform" based on blockchain
in Hong Kong, China, the Hong Kong Monetary regulatory authority is one of the earliest regulators to launch sandbox, supporting financial innovation experiments including blockchain technology; The HKMA has also joined hands with the banking instry to launch etradeconnect, which is the first large-scale trade financing information sharing platform for Hong Kong banking instry to apply blockchain technology< On September 18, 2018, Hangzhou Internet court officially launched the chain and became the first court in the world to use blockchain for trial
it is understood that prosecutors can submit electronic evidence such as contract, rights protection process and service process details online through online complaint portal, and notarization office, forensic identification center, CA / RA organization, court and other chain nodes can witness and endorse together to provide one-stop service for prosecutors. Hangzhou Internet court of Zhejiang Province made a public judgment on a case of infringement on the right of network dissemination of works' information, and confirmed the legal effect of electronic data with blockchain technology for the first time
3. Intellectual property
blockchain and related distributed ledger technology provide the possibility for the protection and registration of intellectual property, as well as evidence in the registration stage or court litigation stage. These technologies can also speed up the above intellectual property protection and registration process in a cost-effective way
4. Logistics
in early 2018, rookie and tmall global jointly announced that blockchain technology has been used to track, upload and verify the logistics full link information of cross-border imported goods
after all nodes of the logistics chain are connected to the blockchain, the goods can be traced from manufacturers to consumers, forming a complete chain; The more links the commodity is missing, the more likely it is to be a fake proct
5. Electronic invoice
on August 10, 2018, Shenzhen International Trade revolving restaurant issued the first electronic invoice of blockchain in China. It is understood that this electronic invoice of blockchain was led by Shenzhen Taxation Bureau and provided by Tencent with underlying technology and capability
different from traditional e-invoice and simple e-invoice on the chain, this blockchain e-invoice integrates "capital flow and invoice flow", combines invoice issuing with online payment, and opens up the whole process of invoice application, invoice issuing, reimbursement and tax declaration
in addition to the above fields, the application of blockchain has broad blue ocean prospects. In the future, new technology application and development will emerge in all walks of life, and blockchain will flourish.
