What should we pay attention to in the future development of blo
in the Internet era, there is a database behind every system. This database can be regarded as a large account book. In the past, the person who maintained the system was responsible for managing the database and recording the user's behavior, that is, bookkeeping. However, the blockchain is "decentralized", which allows every member of the system to participate in it, not only everyone bookkeeping, but also through links, Everyone can have a complete account book
"blockchain is essentially a collective recording mode. What's special is that it adopts a set of techniques in an ingenious way to realize the authenticity and credibility of the recorded results, which is difficult to destroy and tamper with. " Zhang Xiaorong said, "first, everyone has the right to record and authenticate with each other to distinguish the true from the false, which is called consensus mechanism; Second, no one can tamper with the records, because there are cryptographic signatures; Third, everyone has a , so even if some account books are damaged, the whole will not be affected. This is called distributed storage. The information recorded in this way is presented in block mode according to the time chain, so it is called blockchain. "
various cryptocurrencies represented by bitcoin are originally an application of blockchain technology, which can be described as blockchain version 1.0. However, around 2014, the instry began to realize the important value of blockchain technology. Blockchain graally separated from digital currency and applied to various economic and social fields other than digital currency
it has broad application prospects
blockchain technology is considered as a disruptive innovation after steam engine, electric power and Internet. If the steam engine and electricity liberate the proctivity, and the Internet has changed the way of information transmission, the blockchain, as a machine for building trust, may change the way of value transmission
for example, in the financial field, the cost of reconciliation, clearing and settlement between financial institutions, especially cross-border financial institutions, has always been very high, and there are complex manual processes. The application of blockchain technology can help rece the cost of reconciliation and dispute resolution between financial institutions, and significantly improve the processing speed and efficiency of payment business, It also makes small cross-border payments possible. In December 2017, China Merchants Bank completed the RMB position transfer business from Hongkong Wing Lung Bank to Shenzhen Branch of Wing Lung Bank. This is the world's first interbank cross-border RMB clearing business based on blockchain technology
in addition, according to the white paper 2016 on China's blockchain technology and application development issued by the Ministry of instry and information technology of China, the application of blockchain has been extended to medical and health, ecation, charity, social management and other fields. Taking the cultural instry as an example, the low cost of reproction, the high cost of safeguarding rights, and the difficulty of providing evidence make the protection of intellectual property rights a pain point for the instry. With blockchain, the proction, dissemination and transaction records of cultural procts are true, transparent and reliable, and the problem can be solved
Zhang Xiaorong said that blockchain technology has solved two major problems in the era of Digital Economy: one is the visible flow direction, and the other is zero trust cost. In the past, the circulation of physical paper money was invisible, but the flow of all digital assets had a "chain" to check. Yang Yanchao, a researcher at the intellectual property center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, also believes that the biggest advantage of blockchain is that it has truly completed the credit construction in an anonymous society, bringing new opportunities to many fields, thus making various innovative applications possible
there is a long way to go in the future development
in terms of technology promotion, there is no big barrier to blockchain, which has been confirmed in the global practice of bitcoin, and its main resistance comes from the obstacles in concept and implementation
"on the one hand, the society may be very concerned about the" naked "state in the blockchain. Blockchain has built a "Skynet" for the commercial society. The company's economic activities are all recorded, so there is no secret to speak of. In this way, some business strategies may not be implemented under the blockchain. "
"on the other hand, the current legal system lags behind the development of information technology, so how to put the emerging blockchain technology under the legal supervision needs to be studied." Duan Yongchao said
the core of blockchain is decentralization, which will have an impact on the long-standing central management model. In addition to the law, how to establish a regulatory environment that can promote the application of blockchain technology, so that the technology can benefit the society and not be used to do evil, is also an urgent problem to be solved.
driven by policy and market, China's blockchain related instries are expected to move from virtual to real
in the context of rapid development of blockchain, China should comply with the needs of globalization, keep up with the international pace, and actively promote the research, standardization and instrialization development of domestic blockchain related fields. Compared with the increasingly stringent supervision of bitcoin and other digital currencies, the support and encouragement of blockchain technology has reached a consensus in the world, and the domestic blockchain technology will also receive national and local policy support in the next few years. Driven by policy and market, blockchain related instries are expected to move from virtual to real, and blockchain technology will accelerate the exploration of possible application scenarios< According to the data of the "in depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of blockchain instry" released by foresight Instry Research Institute, the global blockchain market scale is expected to increase from US $411.5 million in 2017 to US $7683.7 million in 2022, with a compound annual growth rate of 79.6%. In view of the wide application range of distributed ledger, the rising market value of cryptocurrency, the strong demand for improving transparency, security, efficiency and simplifying process, and the popularity of blockchain as a service (
baas), the blockchain market will expand rapidly. In addition, communication services, international trade, supply chain management, programming platform, payment, smart contract, digital authentication and so on are also in urgent need of blockchain technology, which will create a lot of growth opportunities
as an integrated application of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other technologies, blockchain has become a research hotspot of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund and other international organizations as well as many national governments in recent years, and the instry has also increased investment. At present, the application of blockchain has extended to the Internet of things, intelligent manufacturing, supply chain management, digital asset trading and other fields, which will bring new opportunities for the development of cloud computing, big data, mobile Internet and other new generation information technology, and have the ability to trigger a new round of technological innovation and instrial change
by 2022, the payment sector may occupy the largest share of the blockchain market
relying on blockchain technology, real-time payment of assets can be realized, which not only has the characteristics of tamper proof and digital authentication, but also can greatly save the cost of settlement for financial institutions and banks. In addition, blockchain makes payment automation possible, eliminates the need for middlemen, and saves labor costs and time for buyers and sellers. Thanks to the above advantages, it is expected that the payment sector will be the heaviest one in the whole blockchain market
the fastest growing region will be the Asia Pacific region.
blockchain service providers in the Asia Pacific region are good at designing and developing cryptocurrency platforms with friendly interface, cost saving and high speed, and extending the application of blockchain in many instries. Both large enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises are actively seeking risk financing, investing in and developing the most cutting-edge blockchain technology. In addition, the real estate instry of some countries in the Asia Pacific region is expected to rapidly transform from translucency to full transparency, which also helps to enhance the development prospects of blockchain in the Asia Pacific region.
the blockchain instry is in the stage of rapid development
China's blockchain instry is in the stage of rapid development. According to the data of the "in-depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of blockchain instry" released by foresight Instry Research Institute, by the end of March 2018, the number of blockchain companies with blockchain business as the main business in China has reached 456, from upstream hardware manufacturing, platform services, security services to downstream instrial technology application services, To ensure the development of the instry investment and financing, media, talent services, companies in various fields have been basically complete
according to the classification of application scenarios of top 20 enterprises in the ranking list, in addition to 13 enterprises focusing on the infrastructure and platform construction of blockchain such as underlying platform and blockchain hardware, the application scenarios of blockchain have graally enriched. According to the distribution of instry segments, there are 7 instry application companies, mainly Internet companies (Alibaba, Jingdong, Tencent) used in public welfare and commodity traceability, and innovative financial technology applications evolved by financial enterprises (Ping An, CMB, BOC), such as supply chain finance, bills and transaction clearing
as the blockchain can realize the non tampering of information, the possibility of data falsification is eliminated from the root, especially in the financial instry, which has high requirements for real data, it will embrace the blockchain more actively
analysis on the development trend of blockchain
Second, blockchain has become a new hot spot for innovation and entrepreneurship, and technology integration will expand new application space
3. Blockchain will be widely implemented in the real economy in the next three years and become an important support for the construction of Digital China
fourthly, blockchain creates a new platform economy and opens a new era of sharing economy
fifthly, blockchain accelerates the process of "credible digitization" and drives finance to "move from virtual to real" to serve the real economy< Sixth, the blockchain supervision and standard system will be further improved, and the instrial development foundation will continue to be consolidated
in addition, as an emerging technology, there are still many technical difficulties in the application of blockchain in the actual proction environment of the financial instry, such as throughput, scalability, consensus mechanism, privacy and security, manageability, etc
technological innovation such as blockchain is of great significance to the financial instry, which is expected to accelerate the process of "credible digitization" and continuously drive the financial instry to "move from virtual to real".
-- for the above data sources and analysis, please refer to analysis report on market outlook and investment strategic planning of China's blockchain instry of foresight Instry Research Institute
the research process of instry technology is constantly advancing
in recent years, the research process of global blockchain technology has accelerated, and the number of instry patent applications has increased rapidly. According to sopat statistics, from 2014 to 2018, the number of global blockchain patents continued to rise, and by 2018, the number of global blockchain patent applications had reached 2966. Among them, the number of patents in China's blockchain in 2018 accounted for 33.33% of the total number of patents in 2014, and increased to 82.1% in 2018
however, despite the continuous development and innovation of global blockchain technology in recent years, there is no universal evaluation standard and system to specify the technical performance, efficiency, scalability, security and other issues of blockchain. On the whole, blockchain technology needs further breakthrough
China's blockchain technology tends to serve applications
in terms of technology, the core of China's blockchain technology is to serve physical applications, while the US blockchain technology is still solving the potential problems of blockchain, which leads to the domestic focus on alliance chain applications, We hope to optimize the blockchain technology to meet the requirements of high concurrency applications; Foreign countries focus on the application of public chain, and carry out the optimization and innovation of core technology according to the characteristics of public chain. In terms of application, domestic blockchain focuses on the application of service instry and tends to be "non currency blockchain"; Most of the U.S. is a public chain, which tends to the circulation of digital assets
In the bear market of blockchain, how to find the real valuable blockchain projects? Xiaobian explains from the following aspects:
1. Use the blockchain security technology testing center to see if it is MLM coin or air coin
no matter how advanced the concept is and how exaggerated the slogan is, the essence of any project still depends on technology. Blockchain projects without technology are just like the emperor's new clothes, We need a mirror that reflects the emperor's new clothes - blockchain security technology testing center
As one of the important initiators of blockchain security technology testing center, Tianhe Guoyun, the provider of ulord public chain technology, provides code audit function, which is a sharp tool for blockchain security technology testing center to identify blockchain projects. Code audit is to build a knowledge base of block chain code automatic audit with the help of machine learning and artificial intelligence. It can improve the efficiency of code audit and solve the security problem of intelligent contract. Through the quality evaluation of blockchain projects, exchanges, wallets and smart contract codes, blockchain code audit can prevent digital asset security accidents, provide code revision measures, security protection deployment and other services. It is reported that in addition to automatic audit, Tianhe cloud blockchain code audit can also customize expert team projects for all-round audit to help investors identify "fake projects" to a greater extent2. Look at the team of blockchain project
the blockchain field can be regarded as a comprehensive field, involving cryptography, mathematics, economics, even social management and other disciplines. We have a reliable team. As I mentioned above, the ulord project brings together a large number of high-level R & D and operation personnel
3. It is not only the concept of stir frying, but also the application of it
there are many startups in the field of blockchain. If you want to become a few widely recognized high-quality projects, it is not feasible to just speculate on a set of concepts or theories. Only the projects with the ability of making blood and doing things on the ground are good projects
at present, DAPP ushare, an application based on ulord public chain, has been officially tested on October 15. Ushare Youxiang is the first decentralized experience value sharing platform in the world, and the first DAPP based on ulord public chain. Through the decentralized consensus mechanism, we can build an open, fair and just content evaluation system, encourage high-quality experience procers and experience sharing disseminators, and let the value of high-quality experience flow
there are nearly 100 teams and projects carrying out negotiation and cooperation with ulord public chain
4. Communities have autonomy attributes
whether communities have Dao (distributed autonomous organization) attributes, which is naturally suitable for blockchain,
about community governance. Whether it's the operation mode of the community or the organizational form of the developer community, it's actually a process from quantitative change to qualitative change. We have realized the importance of community
ulord adopts the community autonomy mode of "everyone can participate and contribute to the ecology"
we will have some new community governance modes, including the cooperation of some developers and the cooperation mode of large-scale open source community, which will be born and flourish
The incentive system mainly includes three aspects: first, participation in bookkeeping; Second, the contribution of network resources; Third, participate in community construction. As mentioned above, in the accounting part of our whole budget system, the pow + POS part accounts for 60%, the contribution level of participating in open source community code accounts for 10%, and the remaining 10% is used as an incentive for community operation. Therefore, we hope that more people can participate in the construction and promotion of ulord. We hope to build a platform, but the dividends obtained by this platform should be shared with everyone in the largest range, which is essentially different from Internet proctsFrom District TV network Share: in 2018, blocklink bar AI has become the most popular technical term, and more and more technology companies have announced to enter the blockchain market. In the Internet, Xunlei, Renren, Fengfeng, Tianya and other companies have blockchain related actions. These companies share the same fate. They have all experienced prosperity, but after the impact of Internet entrepreneurship tide, they began to go downhill. Then they rubbed against the hot spots of blockchain and began to try to counter attack
Global blockchain instry investment is hot
according to the data of the "in-depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of blockchain instry" released by prospective instry research institute, as of the end of April 2017, there were 455 blockchain companies in the world, with a total financing amount of US $1.947 billion. Among them, the total investment and financing of us blockchain related companies reached US $1.252 billion, accounting for 64.3% of the global market; The total financing amount of China's blockchain emerging enterprises is about US $114 million, accounting for 5.86%, ranking second in the world after the United States, and growing rapidly
at present, the overall survival status of blockchain is good, with a survival rate of 87.25%. Among all the invested companies, 47 have been closed, accounting for about 10.51%, and the other 10 have been acquired. Due to the change of competition pattern in bitcoin market, some companies have been forced to shut down. Meanwhile, some coin circle companies are graally transforming to chain circle companies.
exploration at the national level has also begun. On March 23, the information technology and Software Services Department of the Ministry of instry and information technology announced that it will study and explore the application of blockchain in the instrial field. Previously, the Ministry of instry and information technology said that it was preparing to establish a National Technical Committee for standardization of blockchain and distributed accounting technology to explore the formation of a complete blockchain standard system to better serve the development of blockchain technology instry
in a word, jinwowo thinks that this technology can solve many problems, but not every problem is suitable for blockchain technology! Moreover, blockchain technology itself is still in the development stage, and there are still many bottlenecks to overcome. If there is popularization in the future, it will have the same subversive impact on human society as the Internet
in the future, jinwowo will continue to tap the value of blockchain technology in the commercial field and give full play to the advantages of big data services
1. Most people don't know what a blockchain is
compared with traditional stocks, real estate, bonds, gold, etc., blockchain assets are a very abstract and virtual form of assets. Blockchain assets represented by bitcoin are a very specialized computer language and program running mode, There is no credit endorsement from any country behind it, nor does any enterprise give it securitization income, which completely depends on the mutual consensus trust between strangers. In this case, although the operation logic of decentralization has been completed, its experiment is only in the initial stage and development stage, and participating in relevant investment is actually a kind of brave adventurer behavior
2. The price of blockchain assets fluctuates violently
because there is not much support from the use level of entities, many blockchain projects are completely dependent on community operation and market speculation, so it is difficult for investors to hold blockchain assets from the perspective of value investment, which leads to frequent capital flow, and the situation of price fluctuations has become a normal. A blockchain related token can soar by 500% in a day, or fall by 90% in a few hours. This kind of drastic price fluctuation is not affordable to ordinary investors
3. The uncertainty of national policies is too great
as an underlying technology, blockchain has basically accepted its value all over the world. However, as the "companion proct" of blockchain, there are still great disputes on national policies, and with the continuous increase of digital currency trading volume, the impact on the global financial market is also increasing. At present, the daily trading volume of the whole digital currency field exceeds US $60 billion, which is comparable to the trading volume of China's Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges, or the average daily trading volume of the New York Stock Exchange. It is impossible to continue to operate outside the supervision. There is a very large regulatory game cycle, and the policies of various countries in this regard may be introced one after another, The impact on the market cannot be ignored
4. All kinds of blockchain projects are good and bad
blockchain technology is originally a very basic architecture technology. At present, e to the global pursuit of funds, many project parties who have nothing to do with blockchain begin to use the concept of blockchain to design procts, And can complete the writing of the white paper of blockchain in a very short time, and then raise market funds. In this case, the technical threshold of the whole blockchain has been lowered. Many companies without the strength and willingness of blockchain development have developed the concept of blockchain purely to obtain financial support, resulting in the flooding of projects. The gap between projects is widening, but ordinary investors are difficult to identify and easy to fall into the trap
5. Currency speculation is not equal to blockchain investment
at present, there are many views that blockchain and digital currency are a whole. You can't develop blockchain technology while suppressing digital currency. I agree with this logic, but currency speculation is not the same as blockchain investment in the real sense. The thing with real investment value must be the thing with scarce supply. If any digital currency is issued, it can represent the application value of the blockchain and bring some innovation to the society. Then any blockchain technology team that can issue digital currency can issue dozens of digital currencies and change its name in a very short time. Therefore, digital currency itself has little logical relationship with blockchain assets. Blockchain projects must be a market with obvious scarcity, but digital currency does not have great scarcity. This is like saying that any Internet company can develop a chat software similar to wechat, but the chat software itself does not have much value. The real value lies in how many people participate in the chat software. Digital money is just a chat software. The current situation is that everyone is frying the software, and few people are concerned about what is on the software. p>
6. Short term overheating, easy to be used by lawless elements
the particularity of the blockchain instry is that many of the ecology has become very financial, in the whole process of operation, capital will be very concentrated, and most of the links are related to capital. From raising funds by ICO to sending tokens to investors, to online trading of exchanges, and trading of tokens by users in exchanges, the whole process is almost full of financialization. If the practitioners are not professional enough, have no self-discipline ability, and lack of supervision, then every link may be used by criminals to manipulate the market, Obtain all kinds of illegal income
In order to catch up with the next round of financial technology and digital revolution, Japan holds a very open attitude towards bitcoin and other transactions. Digital currency transactions denominated in Japanese yen occupy half of the whole legal currency trading area in the world, Japan hopes to use digital currency to revive its financial competitiveness. The United States hopes to use mainstream financial markets, such as futures and options derivatives market, to tame bitcoin and make it another powerful tool for us dollar hegemony. And China is also trying to promote sovereign cryptocurrency, one of the important purposes is to promote the internationalization of RMB. The field of digital currency and blockchain assets is likely to become the next big country's game and contention point, which will virtually increase the systematic risk to investors. It's hard to know what unexpected policies appear behind this big country's game and what impact they will bring to the whole market8. The threat of quantum computer
blockchain generates a set of self-motivated system to ensure that it can run on its own under decentralized conditions. Most of them use asymmetric encryption, and use the corresponding public key to verify the transactions signed by the private key, so as to ensure that bitcoin and other blockchain assets can only be used by legitimate owners. But quantum computer can solve the problem of asymmetric encryption. Quantum computer can calculate the private key from the public key in a few minutes. After knowing all the private keys, people with quantum computer can spend bitcoin and other digital currency at will. Of course, when the quantum computer will come out is also a problem. The digital currency protocol is constantly adding new encryption standards, but the potential threat brought by the quantum computer has to attract the attention of investors
9. There is a possibility of a big reversal in the supply and demand level
the market value of the blockchain token market has hovered around us $trillion. Although OTC funds are still pouring in, the stability and growth rate of the capital inflow are questionable. The supply of encrypted digital currency is a very embarrassing thing. From the perspective of a single digital currency, the total amount is strictly limited. For example, there are only 21 million bitcoins, but the threshold of issuing encrypted digital currency is getting lower and lower. Anyone and any organization can issue encrypted digital currency anytime and anywhere, and the supply is almost unlimited. On the other hand, the increasing transaction cost is restraining the demand side. At present, investors in the transaction link need to pay the transaction fees in the exchange, and also pay the miners' fees when transferring money. If countries begin to tax digital currency transactions in the future, it means that this market will have to bear more operating costs without generating its own profitability, If coupled with the increasing supply level, the overall market supply and demand expectations may reverse in a moment
10. Lack of legal protection for blockchain assets
it is not uncommon that global digital currency exchanges have been "hacked", and in the process of all kinds of over-the-counter and on-the-spot transactions, fraud also occurs from time to time, and the legal protection for investors is very limited. Especially for domestic investors, once they are stolen or cheated because of trading digital currency, it is almost difficult to recover effectively. Due to the lack of intermediary guarantee from banks and other levels, the security of digital currency is entirely under their own responsibility. Although this is in line with the logic of self preservation of private property, it also brings greater uncertainty to the storage and transaction of digital currency assets. Before there is no complete legal system to protect the rights and interests of personal digital currency assets, the legal security of investment in blockchain related assets is a very serious problem
