What kind of thinking do people need in the era of blockchain
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
Blockchain is a kind of technology, which solves the core "trust" problem in the market economy and reces the trust cost between strangers to a very low level
there is one crucial thing in the market economy, which is "trust". Without trust, no deal can be established. When you go to LAICHANG to buy vegetables, if you don't believe that the pesticide content in vegetable is up to the standard, you won't trade with that dealer; If you buy a bottle of water in a small shop, the clerk will not sell you the water if he doesn't believe that the money you give is real
the traditional small-scale peasant economy is acquaintance economy, and the transaction scale is limited to people who are familiar with each other nearby. If an acquaintance deceives you, he will lose your social relationship and damage his reputation in the whole circle of acquaintances. We believe that acquaintances are less likely to cheat us than strangers
therefore, once we are beyond the scope of acquaintances, we need to use a high cost to identify whether a stranger will cheat me and how to avoid the risk of being cheated. This situation will hinder the transaction and restrict the transaction
in addition, different races, nationalities, cultures, religious beliefs and so on will naturally have this kind of trust problem
in the market economy, why can there be so many transactions between strangers? Because of the birth of a new mechanism to solve the problem of trust in strangers
so far, the most important mechanism to solve the trust problem is the "trust intermediary" organization and mode
as long as you and strangers trust a third-party organization, the trust problem between you can be solved through this third-party organization
this third-party organization, we call it trust intermediary. Both the government and the bank are trust intermediaries
you can sell the goods you have worked hard to proce to a stranger in exchange for a stack of RMB banknotes. It's because the credit of the note issuing bank and the guarantee of the authority of the government guarantee the currency value and effectiveness of the banknotes. Otherwise, sell things, in exchange for a few ordinary paper, who would like to
in the era of global village and Internet, the people who buy your things may be strangers who will not meet and thousands of miles away. Trust is lower, so Alipay assumes the role of trust intermediation. Buyers first pay the goods to Alipay's account. When they receive the goods, they confirm that they are OK, then they agree to sell the goods to the seller. Taobao and other e-commerce have been booming rapidly in just over ten years
trust intermediary is in a central position in the transaction system. All transactions should solve the trust problem through it
However, the cost of trust intermediary itself is often hugeas a trust intermediary, how much transaction tax does the government charge each year? What is the most profitable instry? Financial services. The annual profits of Alipay's ant suit are over ten billion. p> What does this mean? Both sides of the market actually pay a huge trust cost
if there is any way to cancel or greatly rece the trust cost, the transaction cost of the general public can be reced, and the profits can be greatly increased
so in the Internet era, blockchain technology is on the stage
it allows the trading party to get rid of the intermediary, solve the problem of trust among strangers, and greatly rece the cost of trust
the blockchain can be expanded on a large scale, the data is open and transparent, the data of each client is consistent, and even if some clients are destroyed, the data security will not be affected. These highly reliable technical features can solve the trust problem of strangers with low cost
this technology can be extended to all fields that can be digitized, such as digital currency, payment and clearing, digital bills, proof of rights and interests, credit reference, government services, medical records, etc
in the medium and long term, blockchain will be a revolutionary technology, which will bring about great social changes like the existing Internet, and has great investment value and money making opportunities
in the future, the companies that can combine blockchain with different scenarios to promote applications may be the next group of bat, the next Google, Microsoft and apple
as the first practical application of blockchain technology, bitcoin has been widely accepted and used all over the world. Millions of users and tens of thousands of merchants have accepted the payment of bitcoin as a digital currency, and the exchange value of bitcoin as a currency is growing. Even e to the consensus that the total amount is fixed and the long-term value is bullish, bitcoin has become a hedge asset similar to gold, and the price has skyrocketed
1. Blockchain is a distributed database (system) placed in a non secure environment
2. The blockchain uses cryptography to ensure that the existing data cannot be tampered with
3, the blockchain uses consensus algorithm to reach consensus on new data
the system with the above three properties is blockchain.
in addition to solving the security problem, blockchain technology can also change the following areas:
1. In the future, music right distribution is likely to enter the stage of blockchain, removing the intermediate link, so that musicians can get more direct income. In the past, record companies or the Internet were required to increase user stickiness. There were a lot of fees in the middle of promotion or song playing, but not many were really given to the authors, because the original right was still in the hands of several major record companies
2. Writing right is the same. For example, you may have to find a publisher before. This right can't be sold many times, and the money given to the author is also very small. With blockchain technology, all users need to pay the right fee to the author, not limited to a single publisher. Previously, Mr. Li Xiaolai did the press one project, which is mainly aimed at right distribution
3. The Internet of things and blockchain technology will combine to proce the blockchain Internet of things (Biot). Blockchain Internet of things can greatly rece the risk of hacker attacks. With the help of blockchain Internet of things, it may be as convenient as mobile phones to obtain warehouse sensor data
Kevin Kelly's book out of control has become the wind vane of the development of the Internet. In his later book necessity, he also mentioned that "technology has a preference in nature, which makes it move in a certain direction. On the premise that other conditions are the same, the physical and mathematical principles that determine the development of science and technology will favor certain specific behaviors
the development of blockchain technology is an "inevitable" trend, and bitcoin and some valuable digital currencies are only proced because of one of the needs. Today's blockchain is like the Internet in 1994. The development of the times will screen out the best technology and procts. It's just a matter of time
now there are too many "pseudo blockchain" projects focusing on blockchain, because too many people blindly invest in them without understanding. I want to make a fortune in this market. Those people are aiming at leeks that enter the coin circle without learning anything. They casually make small packages on the open public chain, issue a coin, hold a roadshow and want to circle a group of people to come in. They want to run after they circle money. In fact, they have no actual technical content and can't solve any practical problems.
Americans are angry. Some people blame the greed of Wall Street, some occupy Wall Street, and some try to find a way to replace the Wall Street accounting system through the practice of distributed accounting technology
therefore, first of all, we need to be clear: first, the concept of blockchain, which was summarized later, aims to replace the traditional accounting path
Second, blockchain is a means to break Wall Street's financial monopoly, improve financial efficiency and rece the cost of real enterprises through universal bookkeeping rights
to understand the above two logics, we go to find the problem:
as a new technology highly concerned by all mankind, blockchain has appeared for more than 10 years. Why is it still unable to serve the real instry
Where is the root cause? This is the focus we need to study. If we don't understand this problem, we can't reach the forefront of this field
Finance is a grand proposition, and blockchain, as the underlying technology of new finance, is also a grand proposition
the grand proposition needs to be discovered and thought from the bottom. What is the bottom of blockchain< The answer is social system and Western values. The birthplace of blockchain is the United States, which is a capitalist country. Exclusive ownership is an important part of capitalist social values
therefore, what is generated on the blockchain is defined by Nakamoto as bitcoin, not the ownership of the blockchain - equity. Please note that this definition is determined by values
values seem to be empty, but they always affect everyone's thinking and choice. Nakamoto's original definition directly determines the thinking path of latecomers
if bitcoin is defined as the ownership of the network, the ownership will naturally increase with the increase of users. This is a self consistent logic
however, if bitcoin is defined as currency, it will lose the support of ownership. Without the support of ownership, participants will have to rely on faith to maintain the value of chips in each other's hands. Beliefs that cannot be reconciled are actually very weak. The value unit based on the weak belief will make believers always anxious to find the belief allies, which is the root of the fact that digital currency can never go to the entity. Because the trust between believers is not strong
therefore, the real shackles of blockchain development are precisely the so-called universal values advertised by the Americans
- the algorithm should be: people-oriented
People's accounts should be blocks
when indivials, merchants, enterprises and institutions open accounts, they will automatically form blocks
there are two value units in each block: first, the ownership of the network, that is, equity; Second, the future service of the network, namely the right of delivery
the former is like a well, and the latter is like the well water. The former is infinite and the latter is finite. Unlimited can provide sufficient guarantee for limited. The future can provide sufficient guarantee for the present
all of the above can be self consistent. The meaning of self consistent is that only by persuading ourselves, can we build real stability and trust
on the basis of self stability and trust, well water can flow to entities instead of hoarding and speculation
Please note: the underlying logic and principles play a decisive role in group selection
if bitcoin holders are not a group of anxious people or a Western value system, they can get out of anxiety early. For example, bitcoin holders jointly invested $4 billion worth of bitcoin to lead the investment in the public network with equity sharing (10% of the shares), and let social funds follow the investment of $4 billion (10% of the shares), and the remaining equity belongs to the users of the public network. This will create a predictable, trillion dollar, shared cake. Indivials, businesses and enterprises will naturally move in one after another to receive their own cakes. After receiving, each market will participate in the basic unit to form a basic reputation, and then use the basic reputation to invest in the real instry. The new real assets will naturally guarantee the new reputation, and the new reputation will be reinvested, and the scale of public new assets will continue to be expanded..... And so on. However, it is a pity that the value system of the West has imprisoned the further courage of blockchain participants. Their choice is to turn around and engage in Ethereum, EOS, and create a large number of so-called digital currencies. In the end, digital reputation cannot be combined with entities
in other words, the core of Western values is competitive thinking, which leads to the starting point of each person's thinking is to put others on the list of hostility rather than cooperation. The inertia of this thinking leads to the continuous increase of money, but it is unable to enter the entity. Therefore, the acquisition of the so-called basic theory and original innovation ability requires us to find out the blind area and forbidden area of others' thinking first. On this basis, we can occupy the no man's land, set our own standards in the no man's land, and finally grasp the dominant power and interpretation power of the rules<
-- let historical contribution become the basis of trust
Enterprises above Designated Size have clear and consistent historical operating revenue data, which represents historical contribution
the greater the historical contribution, the stronger its influence and appeal, the stronger its real ability and the higher its actual credibility
the current blockchain does not respect the historical contribution, and completely ignores the historical contribution of entity enterprises, which will inevitably lead to logical conflicts
to straighten out this kind of conflict, we need to take the historical business income data of enterprises as the most important source of reputation
only by fully respecting the real enterprise, sincerely serving the real enterprise, and making the real enterprise become an important shareholder of the new network, can the real enterprise actively embrace the new technology and new finance
otherwise, it's necessary to tell your own story, yell your own technology and procts, and go further and further
the so-called construction of a community of shared future for human beings requires us to put others on the first list of friends and partners, not on the first list of competition
does the algorithm of blockchain respect the real enterprises<
from bitcoin to Ethereum, from Ethereum to EOS, from EOS to Libra......
- the future of blockchain
1. People oriented: account number is the block, block has equity, stock right (small but continuous)
2. Respect history: Based on the revenue data of entity enterprises, trust ties (the main origin of delivery right)
3. Reverse circulation: through prepayment purchase, salary, bonus and other ways, it directly flows to the employee account, and the employees're consumption will directly activate the enterprise's proction capacity and achieve a win-win situation between supply and demand
4. Don't myth a certain technology, don't form technological hegemony in thinking. Technology is a tool to achieve the goal, not the goal itself
5
6. Before starting, protect first. Sign a contract first, open up the cross instry and cross regional value chain, and start after people eliminate their anxiety
7. Reserve regulatory channels, so that the government and society can trace the responsibility according to the data, which is the proof of self-discipline.
