Ethereum balance line
DTV share, Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with intelligent contract function. It provides decentralized virtual machines to handle point-to-point contracts through its private cryptocurrency, Ethernet. Key points: open source, smart contract function, public chain platform, Ethernet
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"
Ethereum is an open source public blockchain platform with smart contract function, which provides decentralized virtual machine (Ethereum virtual machine) to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency Ethereum. The concept of Ethereum was first inspired by bitcoin by vitalik buterin, a programmer, between 2013 and 2014, and now it's 2.0. Ethereum 2.0 is also something that the whole coin circle is waiting for. In order to celebrate the birth of the genesis block of eth2.0 on December 1, chinacoin officially supports the exchange of eth2.0 verification nodes at 17:00 Hong Kong time on November 20, 2020. It will invest its own eth in the verification node mining and exchange qeth to obtain liquidity. It will participate in the mining as soon as the exchange is received. Now it will give back to the user's welfare. The top 1000 eth enjoy the over exchange of qeth according to the ratio of 1:1.02. Compared with eth2.0, qeth has too many advantages: liquidity is guaranteed, users do not need to bear the technical cost, the threshold of participation does not need 32 eth, as low as 0.1eth, nodes are maintained by the platform, and the revenue is distributed according to eth2.0< br /> < br /> < br />

about the variability of blockchain
-
eth, if most people agree to modify the chain, that is, variability, then they can modify the blockchain records and contracts
-
etc, blockchain records and contracts can't be modified, that is, they can't be tampered with
-
here are the advantages and disadvantages of the two methods
The advantage of -
variability is that people can make timely changes to make the right decisions. Therefore, modifying the specification is more practical than finding loopholes
-
non modifiability means that no matter how smart people are at that time, it is impossible not to make mistakes. Therefore, when problems arise in this scheme, it is best to find and solve the loopholes through the existing legal framework
-
differences in development
-
eth, whether it is intentionally arranged or since its birth, the core decisions of blockchain are made by Ethereum foundation with the participation of the community and most of them are developed by it
-
etc, the decision-making of blockchain is mainly decided by the feedback of three loose, collaborative teams with community participation
-
in any case, anyone can put forward improvement suggestions for the two kinds of blockchains. This is the benefit of open source, and it is also very common. You will find that developers of the two chains communicate with each other through GitHub and reddit. I hope to improve the frequency of communication in order to achieve the common goal
-
about compatibility
-
at present, the two kinds of blockchains are compatible with each other. Contracts or applications written by eth can be applied on etc, and vice versa
-
eth, focusing on ewasm, is committed to providing a platform for more and more developers, while the issue of contract security is secondary, such as viper
-
etc focuses on making developers create more secure contracts, such as viper, iohk research, at the cost of consuming the number of potential developers
-
it's obvious that both chains can accept each other, regardless of whether their wishes are the same or not. My view is that the number of developers is not necessarily related to the quality of the proct
-
about the transaction speed
-
eth, the average is 25 seconds, which will be shortened after upgrading
-
etc, with an average time of 14 seconds, maintained at 10-14 seconds after upgrade, according to ecip-1010 and ecip-1036 protocols
-
about the block capacity
-
eth, with the daily trading volume of eth graally reaching 5 million, the block capacity is graally saturated. This situation is similar to the recent transaction cost of bitcoin. This problem can be solved by expanding the block capacity by increasing the default fuel limit
ETC, At present, there is still a lot of room for block capacity. As more and more people accept etc, the block capacity will also increase, just like eth
-
about community
-
eth, mainly discuss on reddit
-
etc, mainly discuss on slack
-
about monetary policy
-
eth, the planned supply is growing steadily, resulting in an average inflation of 3% in eth blockchain in its life cycle
-
etc, before 2025, inflation will reach 3%, and then the total supply will reach 200 million etc, and then there will be deflation
As for the regional distribution of trading volume, China accounts for 20%, South Korea 25% and the United States 25% In etc, China accounts for 50%, South Korea 25% and the United States 10% About securities, at present, investors do not have the option to trade securities. Recently, one of eth's ETFs, trading open-end index funds, was denied by the regulators -
etc owns etc trading trust, which allows investors to own etc instead of the asset itself
compared with bitcoin, we can find that Ethereum is more difficult to develop a new encryption technology than bitcoin. This breakthrough has greatly reced the development cost and time for developers who apply blockchain technology. The emergence of Ethereum once again reiterated the need to split the center, as well as the feasibility and advantages of decentralized distributed applications, to the existing economic market, the financial sector a new direction of development and throw to the society a new entrepreneurial ideas and opportunities.
new currencies are usually solved through open market operations. In other words, the central bank makes its own money flow out by buying Treasury bonds (issued by the Ministry of Finance), so that the money flows to commercial banks, and commercial banks make money circulate in the society through lending
first of all, understand currency: today's commonly referred to as currency is the paper money in our pocket. It is a medium and tool to facilitate the exchange and circulation of goods under the commodity economy. It has no value in itself and is issued and forced to circulate by the national bank. When you go shopping in China with us dollars, the shop owner will treat us dollars as a piece of waste paper, because US dollars must be converted into RMB through the central bank to be used in China
currencies of different countries cannot be circulated in different countries. Now, with the global economic integration, there are certain economic exchanges between countries. In order to solve the trade and currency problems between different countries, two concepts of foreign exchange and foreign exchange reserve are involved
as we all know, a country's wealth is not measured by the amount of its currency issued or owned, but by the amount of its commodities, which are the material needs of people's life, rather than money, that is, a country's proction capacity and gross domestic proct
trade between countries can be divided into export and import as follows:
in the case of export, if US dollar is used as foreign currency, that is to say, Chinese multinational enterprises sell their procts in the United States in exchange for the currency of other countries. For Chinese people, foreign currency is not allowed to circulate in the Chinese market, Therefore, in the Chinese market, foreign currency is equivalent to a pile of waste paper. Therefore, it is useless for Chinese export enterprises to sell foreign currency to the national bank to exchange it for RMB, and the state holds foreign currency. People's wealth is ultimately reflected in their material enjoyment, and money is only an intermediary and tool for material exchange, Our domestic enterprises give the goods they proce to the United States, while the United States only gives us foreign currency (bonds), thus forming a debt relationship: that is, China is the creditor, foreign countries (the United States) are the debtor, and foreign exchange (US dollars) is the debt relationship certificate
for the import situation, foreign currency reserves will not be affected. For example, if foreign businessmen sell foreign goods at home to earn RMB, the central bank will take the foreign exchange reserves (US dollars) to buy back RMB from foreign investors (because this part of RMB is circulating at home and is not counted as foreign exchange reserves), It may also be that foreign businessmen take RMB to their own country to exchange for their own currency, which also forms their own foreign exchange reserves (whether the actual process is like the above, I don't know, it's not studying economy, it's just speculation). Buy back is actually a hedging process (the real sense of hedging seems to be that the central bank takes foreign exchange to buy overseas). It can also be understood as follows: foreign goods are regarded as the goods proced by the central bank and sold in the domestic market. In this way, part of the foreign exchange reserve is returned to the people through the central bank, and the debt is also paid
generally, the amount of money in circulation of a country corresponds to the amount of goods proced by the country Material wealth corresponds to the amount of money)
Chinese enterprises export goods, which can be seen as: China proces too many domestic goods (that is, the corresponding currency is not enough),
domestic enterprises get foreign markets for commodity sales and exchange through the form of export, and can exchange domestic goods for foreign goods, but because of the existence of foreign currency, In fact, these foreign currencies are equivalent to the debts of foreign consumers to China's export enterprises, and these debts are uniformly assigned to the name of the national bank. This has become the country's foreign exchange reserves. The more foreign exchange reserves, the more money the state will lend. Lending is equivalent to issuing money. If a country releases too much money, it needs to issue a large amount of money, which may cause inflation (there are not enough goods, but a lot of currency in circulation). At this time, the country purchases goods from overseas through the international market, and consumes foreign goods in exchange for goods, so as to achieve the goal of stabilizing and balancing the economy. It can also be understood from another perspective that the central bank releases a large amount of money to exchange for foreign exchange reserves. The increase of this kind of money is not caused by the "invisible hand" of the market rules, but by the Central Bank of the government. If we zoom in, the increase of money will actually be inflation, and the money on the hands of the people will be devalued, The devalued part is occupied by the central bank free of charge. Therefore, it can be understood as: foreign exchange reserves are liabilities of the central bank, not assets, because it is exchanged by the central bank from the people's hands with RMB, then the people will want to cash this asset one day
as China's foreign exchange currency is mainly US dollar, once the US economy fluctuates and leads to the depreciation of US dollar, China's foreign exchange reserves will have the risk of devaluation. The devaluation of foreign exchange reserves is also the loss of China's assets< In a word, foreign exchange reserve is a kind of debt relationship between the people and other countries (reserves are not national assets, but the money of the working people), and the people, as one of the creditor's rights, transfer the creditor's rights to the National Central Bank and hang them in the name of the central bank
foreign exchange reserve refers to the foreign convertible currency held by a country's monetary authority and can be used for external payment, which acts as an international reserve asset. The amount of foreign exchange reserve mainly depends on the status of import and export, the scale of foreign debt and the actual use of foreign capital. Foreign exchange reserves are used for trade with other countries
in order to increase foreign exchange, we need to issue RMB to buy, and the supply of RMB will increase, which may cause monetary expansion in the domestic market. A certain amount of foreign exchange reserve is an important means for a country to adjust its economy and realize the economic balance at home and abroad. When there is a deficit in the balance of payments (more imports, the domestic market full of foreign goods, causing domestic monetary tightening), the use of foreign exchange reserves can promote the balance of payments; When the domestic macro-economy is unbalanced and the total demand is greater than the total supply (the consumption demand increases and the goods are not enough), we can use foreign exchange to organize imports, so as to adjust the relationship between the total supply and the total demand and promote the macro-economy balance
at the same time, when the exchange rate fluctuates, we can use the foreign exchange reserves to intervene the exchange rate and make it stable
the performance of foreign exchange reserves is to hold a kind of financial claims expressed in foreign currency, not put into domestic proction. This leads to the problem of opportunity cost, that is, if the monetary authorities do not hold reserves, they can use these reserve assets to import goods and services, increase the real resources of proction, and thus increase employment and national income, while holding reserves gives up such benefits
the increase of foreign exchange reserves should expand the money supply. If the foreign exchange reserves are too large, it will increase the pressure of inflation and increase the difficulty of monetary policy
holding too much foreign exchange reserves may also cause losses e to the depreciation of foreign exchange rate
because foreign currency can not circulate in the domestic market, the central bank not only releases a certain amount of money (through export and foreign capital) in China, but also reserves a certain amount of foreign exchange on behalf of the country. At this time, RMB is used in China, while foreign exchange itself is independent of the domestic economic operation, and is used by the central bank to maintain and increase value in the international financial market.
