Why is ICO in Ethereum

1.

what is Ethereum:

Ethereum is an innovation based on the application of technologies and concepts in bitcoin to computers. Ethereum itself imitates a lot of bitcoin technology to maintain the computer platform. blockchain technology is one of them
Ethereum platform can safely run any program users want

advantages of Ethereum over other competitive currencies before Ethereum appeared, some digital currencies imitated bitcoin. However, these projects have their own shortcomings, they can only support one or several specific applications at the same time< However, the reason why Ethereum can surpass the limitations of these projects in the past is because of the core idea of Ethereum

what Ethereum wants to implement is a blockchain protocol with built-in programming language. Since it supports programming language, in theory, any blockchain application can be defined with this language, and then run on Ethereum's blockchain protocol as an application

The design of Ethereum is very flexible and adaptable

Ethereum target sets the advantages of blockchain technology, in order to add the advantages of blockchain, such as decentralization, openness and security, to almost all computing fields

blockchain applications of Ethereum

Ethereum has many blockchain applications, such as digital applications of gold and stocks, financial derivatives applications, DNS and digital authentication, etc

Ethereum has achieved more than 100 blockchain applications by many start-ups

Ethereum has also been closely watched by some financial institutions, banking consortia (such as R3), as well as large companies like Samsung, Deloitte, RWE and IBM. As a result, a number of blockchain applications such as simplified and automated financial transactions, merchant loyalty index tracking, and gift cards designed to achieve decentralization of electronic transactions have emerged

the relationship between Ethereum and blockchain:

Ethereum is a programmable blockchain

Ethereum does not give users a series of preset operations (such as bitcoin transaction), but allows users to create complex operations according to their own wishes

in this way, Ethereum can be used as a platform for various types of decentralized blockchain applications, including but not limited to cryptocurrency

like other blockchains, Ethereum also has a peer-to-peer network protocol. Ethereum blockchain database is maintained and updated by many nodes connected to the network. Each network node runs the Ethereum simulator and executes the same instructions. Therefore, people sometimes call Ethereum "world computer"

2. ICO generally refers to the erc20 token of the smart contract based on Ethereum, which is exchanged for the token of the project party through the contract to eth

3. ICO is actually the instry term of blockchain. It is the abbreviation of initial coin offering. It is the concept of initial public offering (IPO) derived from the stock market. It is the first time that blockchain projects issue tokens to raise bitcoin, Ethereum and other common digital currencies.

4. Bitcoin is a kind of virtual digital currency proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. It is characterized by no centralized issuing institution and a fixed total of 21 million pieces. It is not a one-time issue and needs to be proced by miners. Due to the decentralized structure, trust needs to rely on cryptography and consensus mechanism technology to achieve
blockchain is a general technology derived from bitcoin. It implements a decentralized database model. Bitcoin can be called blockchain 1.0 because it has no concept of smart contract. The key technologies of blockchain include cryptography encryption and decryption and consensus mechanism. Blockchain is generally used to combine with specific business logic, which needs to rely on smart contract, which provides an execution mode free from human interference
the IPO of ICO originates from the concept of initial public offering (IPO) in the stock market. It is the behavior of blockchain project to issue token for the first time, raise bitcoin and solve Ethereum and other common digital currencies.

6. ICO is very similar to IPO in form and final result
IPO is the initial public offering of a company. After IPO, the company can go to the securities exchange market for listing. Of course, there are various regulatory enforcement before and after the IPO, and the whole process is completed in reality
the difference of ICO is that the public offering party can be an indivial, a company, a community, or an institution. After the offering, it is listed and traded on the online virtual currency trading platform, such as smart star Witkey, XX eight, XX one proct, etc. the whole process is completed on the Internet
virtual currencies, such as bitcoin and Ethereum, have become fixed currency in circulation on the Internet, such as the US dollar in the real world. Most of the ICO process is not the project party selling its own equity, it should be said that it is the right to use, that is, the expected qualification of the future value of the proct

7. In short, the current ICO is based on the currency issued by Ethereum, as long as a smart contract is established on it, and financing needs to publicize your contract address, so that others can automatically exchange your currency when they call eth. Finally, it is said that domestic ICO is prohibited

8. If you have spare money, you can go to the okex platform to open an account, smash it in and do a long-term job. You don't have to care about the rise and fall in the middle. This requires you to have a good attitude or make a fixed investment every month.
