When will decentralized networks succeed
this paper mainly interprets an entrepreneur's transitional interpretation and amplification of the word "decentralization"
entrepreneurs or some people obsessed with Entrepreneurship often say that our procts are "decentralized" when they talk about procts in public
people are blind to things and the so-called unconsciousness, so what is "decentralization"? To understand "decentralization", we must first know what is "centralization"
1. The Internet is a new form of information transmission. Centralization is the centralized release of information, and participants often have no right to speak. The right to speak here is the right to speak at the level of guiding public opinion
2. Decentralization means that participants can have the right to speak, make voice and freely spread information
how is centralization formed
the lack of information resources leads to centralization. To some extent, the Internet user group is also the reason for the formation of centralization
how is decentralization formed
because the standardization of information resources leads to centralization, to a certain extent, the rise of Internet user groups has the conditions to build decentralization, and users' demand for information is expanding.
compared with the early Internet (WEB 1.0) era, Web 2.0 content is no longer proced by professional websites or specific groups, but the result of participation and creation by all Internet users with equal rights. Anyone can express their views on the Internet or create original content to proce information together
with the diversification of network service forms, the decentralized network model becomes more and more clear and possible. After the rise of Web 2.0, the services provided by Wikipedia, Flickr, blogger and other network service providers are decentralized. Any participant can submit content, and Internet users can co create or contribute content
with the emergence of more simple and easy-to-use decentralized network services, the characteristics of Web2.0 become more and more obvious. For example, the birth of services more suitable for ordinary Internet users, such as twitter and Facebook, makes it easier and more diversified to proce or contribute content to the Internet, thus enhancing the enthusiasm of Internet users to participate in the contribution and recing the threshold of procing content. Eventually, every netizen becomes a tiny and independent information provider, making the Internet more flat and content proction more diversified.
De flow means that all social resources can be aggregated and distributed with one click
in a system with many nodes, each node has a high degree of autonomy. Nodes can connect with each other freely to form a new connection unit. Any node may become the stage center, but it does not have the mandatory central control function. The influence between nodes will form a nonlinear causal relationship through the network
This kind of open, flat and equal system phenomenon or structure is called decentralization

compared with the previous Internet (WEB 1.0) era, today's Internet (Web 2.0) content is no longer proced by professional websites or specific groups, but by the participation of the whole Internet users and the creation of equal power levels. Anyone can express their views on the Internet or create original content to proce information together
with the diversification of network service shape, the decentralized network model becomes more and more clear and possible. After the rise of Web2.0, the services provided by Wikipedia, Flickr, blogger and other network service providers are decentralized. Any participant can submit content, and Internet users can create or contribute content together
The decentralization of blockchain refers to the form of social relations and content generation formed in the process of blockchain development. It is a new network content proction process relative to "centralization"
blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin, which is essentially a decentralized 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 batch of bitcoin network transactions, which is used to verify the effectiveness of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
blockchain is unified in the whole network, so it is logically centralized. From the perspective of architecture, blockchain is based on peer-to-peer network, so it is decentralized. From the perspective of governance, blockchain makes it difficult for a few people to control the whole system through consensus algorithm, so it is decentralized

characteristics of blockchain Decentralization:
decentralization, not without the center, but by the node to freely choose the center, freely determine the center. In short, centralization means that the center determines the node. The node must depend on the center, and the node cannot survive without the center
in a decentralized system, anyone is a node, and anyone can be a center. Any center is not permanent, but phased, and no center is mandatory for nodes
with the diversification of network service forms, the decentralized network model becomes more and more clear and possible. After the rise of Web2.0, the services provided by Wikipedia, Flickr, blogger and other network service providers are decentralized. Any participant can submit content, and Internet users can create or contribute content together

please focus on the bold part:
Internet thinking, in the mobile Internet plus big data, cloud computing and other technology development background, the market, users, procts, enterprise value chain and even the whole business ecosystem to reconsider the way of thinking. P>
first put forward the Internet thinking is the founder of network company Robin Li. In a large-scale activity on the Internet, Robin Li first discussed the word "Internet thinking" when Robin Li explored the development issues with the boss and entrepreneur of traditional instries. He said that we entrepreneurs should have Internet thinking in the future. Maybe what you do is not Internet, but your way of thinking should graally think from the perspective of Internet. Now a few years later, this concept has been graally recognized by more and more entrepreneurs, even people from all walks of life and fields outside the enterprise. But the word "Internet thinking" has evolved into a number of different interpretations
< UL >
the way of thinking in the Internet era is not limited to Internet procts and Internet enterprises. The Internet here refers not only to desktop Internet or mobile Internet, but also pan Internet, because the future network form must span all kinds of terminal devices, such as desktop, notebook, tablet, mobile phone, watch, glasses, etc. Internet thinking is to rece the dimension, let the Internet instry take the initiative to integrate the real instry
How does Internet thinking come into being? Proctivity determines the relationship of proction. To a certain extent, the technical characteristics of the Internet will affect its logic at the commercial level. The unit of instrial society is tangible atom, while the basic medium of Internet world is intangible bit. This means that economics in the era of instrial civilization is a kind of scarcity economics, while economics in the era of Internet is a kind of abundance economics. According to Moore's law and other theories, the three basic elements of the Internet bandwidth, storage and server will be unlimited free. In the Internet economy, monopoly of proction, sales and communication will no longer be possible Moreover, a network Internet has no central node, it is not a hierarchical structure. Although different points have different weights, no point is absolutely authoritative. So the technical structure of the Internet determines its inner spirit, which is decentralized, distributed and equal. Equality is a very important basic principle of the Internet
in a network society, the value of an "indivial" and an "enterprise" is determined by the breadth and thickness of the connecting point. The wider and thicker your connection, the greater your value. This is also the basic feature of the pure information society. Your information content determines your value. So opening becomes a necessary means of survival. If you don't open up, you can't get more connections
Therefore, the Internet business model must be built on the basis of equality and openness, and Internet thinking must reflect the characteristics of equality and openness. Equality and openness mean democracy and humanization. In this sense, the Internet economy is a real people-oriented economy < UL >
in the era of agricultural civilization, the most important assets are land and farmers. In the instrial era, the most important assets are capital, machinery (machinery is solidified capital) and alienated people on the assembly line. In the early instrial age, the most important consideration was the alienated man, because man was also treated as a machine. People are just screws in the assembly line
in the era of knowledge economy, the core resources are data and knowledge workers, which Drucker said at the end of last century. Enterprise management will also move from the traditional multi-level to a more flat, more network, more ecological way. Let knowledgeworker truly create value and become the most important and needed breakthrough place for any organization and the whole society
1. Efficiency is different: the efficiency of decentralized network is higher than that of centralized network, but conversely, the security of centralized network is higher. On the whole, centralized network is suitable for high security applications
2. Different characteristics: centralized network means that each time two client computers communicate with each other through the server. The decentralized network is the initial need to go through the server, later communication does not need the server
3. Different costs: the characteristics of collective maintenance of blockchain can rece a lot of costs. The centralized network involves the maintenance, confidentiality, operation and so on of many systems, which must require a lot of human, financial and material resources. These things do not exist for the decentralization of blockchain, so they can save a lot of costs

precautions:
in the aspect of blockchain governance, an interesting trend recently is the re emergence of online virtual currency holder voting as a multi-purpose decision-making mechanism. Sometimes the vote of the coin holder is used to decide who runs the super node of the network (e.g. dpos in EOS, Neo, lisk and other systems), sometimes the protocol parameters are voted (e.g. the upper limit of Ethereum fuel supply), and sometimes the vote and direct application of approval (e.g. tezos) protocol upgrade are also concted
in all these cases, voting is automatic, and the protocol itself contains all the logic needed to change the verifier set or update its own rules, and automatically responds to the voting results
