extended data
at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct, because it lacks a strong guarantee agency to maintain its price stability, and its role as a value measure has not yet appeared, so it can not be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, digital currency cannot develop without trading platform, operating company and investment company
digital currency is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the blockchain technology it relies on has been decentralized and can be used in other fields except digital currency, which is one of the reasons why bitcoin is popular; On the other hand, if digital currency is widely used by the public as a kind of currency, it will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of monetary policy, financial infrastructure, financial market and financial stability
1. Enjin (enj)
in the near future, the game instry is the instry most likely to adopt blockchain on a large scale. Enjin coin is the cryptocurrency of virtual goods created by Enjin. Enjin is the "largest online gaming community platform" with more than 250000 gaming communities and 18.7 million registered gamers
Cardano (ADA)compared with Ethereum, EOS and Tron, Cardano is the third generation of decentralized app (DAPP) and smart contract platform. Cardano's design philosophy has the following points:
scalability: with the growth of users, the transaction processing speed is not affected or even faster, such as P2P protocol
interoperability: in the future, there will be countless devices connected to each other, instead of only connecting and forwarding through routers. All kinds of devices can communicate directly through standard general protocol
Sustainability: like bitcoin, Cardano project will not be controlled and influenced by a certain company or organization, which is a safe, decentralized and sustainable development platform
With the popularity of sto (security token offers), Nash also plays an important role. Nash is a kind of registered security token. In the past, Nash participated in and led the development of many projectsNash exchange is a decentralized exchange. If you hold nex token, you can calculate the dividend here
4. Basic attention token (BAT)
bat mainly solves the problem of advertising:
user information is abused: large companies such as Google and Facebook track and use user information and behavior, and sell without the knowledge of users
the effect of advertising is restrained: middlemen earn most of the fees, a large number of advertisements are blocked by users using software, and advertisements are fake
in the past six to 12 months, the number of publishers using the brand browser (Note: the brand browser supports bat token) has grown rapidly, and almost no blockchain ecosystem has grown so fast
5, chainlink (link)
chainlink mainly solves the problem that each blockchain has and the smart contract cannot obtain external data. In order to introce external data into the blockchain, the concept of Oracle is proposed in smart contract
companies including Google are supporting the development of chainlink. Here is a list of chainlink partners
one of the main problems of chainlink is similar to Ethereum. The development team has reserved 650 million link tokens, while only 350 million are in circulation at present
Ethereum (ETH)Ethereum has long occupied the second place in the top 100 cryptocurrencies. Its ecology is so big that we can't call it altcoin now. To tell you the truth, I'm not optimistic about Ethereum in the long run, but it will flourish in the short run
Due to the continuous popularity of bitcoin, people begin to pay close attention to this kind of digital currency. However, people from all walks of life pay more attention to the technical architecture behind bitcoin - blockchain technology, which is considered by many organizations to be the core technology most likely to trigger the fifth round of scientific and technological revolution after steam engine, power, information and Internet technology
bitcoin may fall, while the long-term direction of digital currency is bound to rise, and the rise will be particularly fierce. In 2017, the total market value of global digital currency was only US $647 billion, less than 10% of the global physical gold market value, and less than 0.01% of the total national stock value. AAC is launched at the right time. Miners all know that the earlier they enter, the more tokens they can get and the more profits they can earn. The birth of acute angle cloud will bring huge returns to its partners
2017 can be regarded as the first year of blockchain technology, and 2018 is likely to be the explosive year of blockchain technology. The rapid development of the blockchain technology will probably usher in the explosive growth of acute angle cloud, and the acute angle PC released on ces2018 is likely to become another explosive proct of blockchain
in February 2017, the central bank made new progress in issuing digital currency. The block chain based digital bill trading platform promoted by the central bank has been tested successfully. The legal digital currency issued by the central bank has been put into trial operation on the platform. After the Spring Festival, the digital currency Research Institute of the central bank will also be officially listed. This means that the people's Bank of China will be the first central bank to issue digital currency and carry out real application in the world.
Digital currency is a kind of legal tender, which must be issued by the central bank. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digital currency, which is not a network virtual currency, because it is not limited to virtual space, but is often used for real goods and services transactions, such as bitcoin, Wright coin, bitstock, etc. at present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued around the world
extended data:
1. Impact on financial infrastructure
the decentralized mechanism of value exchange based on distributed ledger technology has changed the basic settings of gross and net settlement on which financial market infrastructure depends. The use of distributed ledgers also poses challenges to trading, clearing and settlement, as it promotes the disintermediation of traditional service providers in different markets and infrastructures. These changes may have potential impacts on market infrastructure other than retail payment systems, such as large payment systems, securities settlement systems or trading databases
If digital currency and distributed ledger based technology are widely used, it will bring challenges to the intermediary role of financial system participants, especially banks. As a financial intermediary, banks perform the ties of acting supervisors and supervise borrowers on behalf of depositors. Usually, banks also carry out liquidity and maturity conversion business to realize the financing from depositors to borrowers. If digital currency and distributed ledger are widely used, any subsequent disintermediation may have an impact on savings or credit evaluation mechanismsfirst, get more digital assets through mining. It can be "mining", it can be "private" exchange, it can also be ICO. There are just a few forms, the purpose is to make the number of digital assets in your hands change a lot. So when the price is stable, relatively speaking, it will make money
Second, to collect money and stir fry money. Reasonable use of time factors to earn the price difference of digital assets in hand. Buy low and sell high, similar to the operation of the secondary stock market. For example, if you buy when the price of bitcoin is low and sell when the price of bitcoin is high, you can earn RMB price difference, which is the simplest way to make profits. At present, the mainstream trading markets have moved to foreign countries, and bitcoin based digital currency transactions are mostly based on currency transactions, and the channels of legal currency exchange are less and less, and more and more hidden. Participation in this link requires a certain degree of professionalism. The long-term profit depends on Tun coin, and the short-term profit depends on speculation
thirdly, when a new technology or new proct just appears, it is profitable to popularize information or use information gap as an intermediary. Remember that famous example? There was a famous "gold rush" in the history of the United States, which attracted many people who dream of making a fortune overnight to go for gold. Gold rush may make a fortune overnight or get nothing. And smart people provide food and water for gold miners on their way. These people are called "water sellers", and they are sure to earn money. The blockchain gold rush is madly attracting countless ordinary people, and has also made many media companies and consulting platforms in the blockchain instry< 4. Issue currency. Ordinary people can also use Ethereum network to release their erc20 token through simple learning. Small companies with a technical team can gather the strength of the technical team to develop more perfect blockchain applications, so as to issue corresponding tokens and finance coins by means of private placement or crowdfunding. In order to get a lot of wealth. Sun Yuchen, the founder of the famous wave field, is a post-90s. In a few short months, it has achieved a market value of 100 billion yuan. It's full of money
5. Be a community and collect es. The so-called community, in the world of Internet people, is called community. The speed of the coin circle as a community is really fast and fast. Many people build groups in chat software such as wechat, and constantly send propaganda information of various blockchain projects. These information are mixed and highly overlapped. It's overwhelming. The ultimate goal of most people in this way is not to collect es, but to take people in the group to invest in a blockchain project and earn intermediary fees or token rewards< 6. To be a trading platform such as an exchange. Such as "fire coin" and "coin an", the myth of "sudden wealth" of young start-up companies represented by the post-80s generation has refreshed people's cognition again and again. There are discussions, there are transactions, there are transaction fees to earn< 7. Futures trading. Bitcoin has been online for futures trading. Some foreign futures companies can provide account opening and information consultation. Some currency exchanges, such as dew, Huobi. Pro, also provide short selling services. In essence, it is a kind of futures trading. In addition, there are some leveraged trading platforms in the market. In their own foreign exchange margin trading platform, they provide btcusd currency pair trading, with high leverage, the possibility of return and risk are magnified hundreds of times
8. Register to receive "candy" for free, and the token itself has the attribute of business points. Many technical teams take advantage of this and publish some small projects that can receive candy by registration. Each project can receive "candy" award or "mining machine" award according to different periods. Strictly speaking, this kind of project is not a blockchain project, but it is full of the whole coin circle. Many people use their spare time to register on the platform, and they can get tens of thousands of yuan of extra income every month, which can be regarded as collecting the wool of market speculators< 9. Application development. Those who have certain development technology and seriously study blockchain technology can develop blockchain applications. Finding a clear positioning of an instry, trying to rewrite the rules of the game with blockchain, and developing distributed application DAPP are the direction of blockchain technology. At present, there are not many teams with development ability in China, and projects made by technical teams with real talents are generally supported and liked by funds. The secondary market usually performs well, too< 10. Technical training. At the beginning of the blockchain market, many people did not understand what blockchain was and how to participate in blockchain investment or technology development. The emergence of training companies is inevitable. Some domestic blockchain enthusiast alliances, blockchain technology teams, blockchain investment institutions, etc. have begun to do such technology popularization and information services
11. Carefully study some blockchain applications and earn token rewards corresponding to blockchain applications in their systems. At present, some blockchain applications have been implemented and run successfully. The fundamental difference between blockchain projects and Internet projects lies in their perfect reward mechanism. Generally, customers will be rewarded by token. The reward itself can be sold for profit.
