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.
although bitcoin and Ethernet are both digital currencies, unlike bitcoin, the main purpose of Ethernet is not to build itself as a payment substitute, but to facilitate and monetize the operation of Ethereum, so that developers can build and run distributed applications
3. Whether a currency is counterfeit depends on whether it meets the basic characteristics of blockchain. Blockchain is divided into public chain and private chain. The public chain is a block chain based on the principle of decentralized open consensus, which has two characteristics: 1. Decentralized, single point can not be controlled; 2; 2. Open, all people or institutions can participate in any part of the blockchain ecology; Private chain or alliance chain is a local decentralized and non open block chain based on internal or self trust. It has two characteristics: 1. Local decentralization. For example, several banks run one node and have equal
computing power; 2. In closed operation, only officially designated participants can participate in the core work of blockchain operation, and even block queries are limited or not open to the outside world at all; Ethereum started as a community project and is still on the road of decentralization. However, Ethereum chooses to become more and more decentralized and public chain like bitcoin. At present, Qube is the largest trading platform of Ethereum in China, followed by oke, and the trading volume of bitmex abroad is not small. Its recognition is second only to BTC.
4. The future is so far away that no one can be sure. However, no one can shake the dominant position of bitcoin within a predictable time frame. There is no way to change the situation of bitcoin, Wright coin, Ethereum, Ruitai coin and doggy coin. The only thing that can change is the market value ranking of Shanzhai coins other than bitcoin. However, it is not ruled out that in the future there will be a
virtual currency supported by most countries in the world, which may surpass bitcoin.
5. Ethereum has established a programmable and Turing complete blockchain. On this blockchain, you can realize the proction of all kinds of digital assets through a simple program, and you can also accurately control the status of the blockchain assets circulating on Ethereum by writing a program, such as whether the asset is to be paid or locked or has a quota, whether the account is a treasure list or a white list Ethereum and other digital assets, etc. At the same time, Ethereum is a programmable, flexible and complete blockchain network foundation. On this basis, we can realize more functional procts of non regional fast chain assets. For example, I use Ethereum to set up smart contracts, which can be applied in personal daily economic life and enterprise economic activities. Ethereum is a new and open blockchain platform based on the concept of blockchain and blockchain assets. It allows anyone to build and run decentralized applications on the platform by using blockchain technology. In short, Ethereum technology is blockchain technology plus smart contract.
6. In 2020, I'm afraid we can't simply assert that "computers are faster than human brains"
when you calculate the results of a hundred complex formulas, the computer must be fast
however, if it is to analyze a voice or a picture, it is difficult for a computer to surpass human beings.
7. In addition to bitcoin, other subsequent blockchain technologies are called "Shanzhai coin"< Br > of course, "Shanzhai currency" is not a counterfeit currency. Some of them have even made many innovations to overcome the shortcomings of bitcoin, such as Ethereum. Replacing bitcoin with smart contract is a huge innovation. There are some good "Shanzhai coin" can also solve some pain points in real life, and there are practical application scenarios. As for other direct application of source code, it may be attributed to another level < br > "Shanzhai coin" can be summarized as: Based on bitcoin source code or ideas to achieve; Innovation; There are some application scenarios.

9. Ethereum is also a proct of blockchain 2.0, which is an open intelligent contract complete solution. Bitcoin is the most important application of blockchain 1.0, which completes currency and payment transactions well. But when we need to record and transfer more complex asset types, we need the third step - a more powerful scripting system - to finally achieve Turing completeness (the ability to run any currency, protocol or blockchain). Ethereum is a blockchain based project, which aims to provide a Turing complete scripting language and Turing complete platform
blockchain 1.0 mainly refers to bitcoin. Blockchain 2.0 extends to all assets, while blockchain 3.0 goes beyond currency, finance, even commerce, and all areas of our lives, including politics, social relations, ecation, medical care, etc. According to the prediction and conception of people in the instry, the era of blockchain 3.0 will be realized in the next five years. At that time, blockchain will be recognized and accepted by all the public like the Internet, thus completely subverting our lives
McKinsey has submitted a technical report on blockchain to the Federal Insurance Advisory Committee of the United States. The report calls 2009-2016 the "Dark Age" and believes that all blockchain solutions ring this period are based on bitcoin, and the new era of blockchain will begin in 2016. At that time, the application of blockchain will become unprecedented. Applying an original sentence in McKinsey report: Based on the current development speed of blockchain, we believe that blockchain solutions may realize their full potential in the next five years.
