Why does blockchain connect with virtual currency
the difference between digital currency, electronic currency and virtual currency
in fact, digital currency is a kind of indexed RMB, a legal encrypted digital currency and an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Digital currency can be divided into two types: non cryptocurrency (e-gold, XRP) and cryptocurrency (bitcoin)
it can not be completely equivalent to the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it is often used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games and other virtual spaces. It is different from Alipay and WeChat, and Alipay, WeChat payment and mobile phone banks are all electronic money, not digital money. The popular digital currencies in 2016 include bitcoin, lightcoin, bitstock, etc. At present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued all over the world
virtual currency refers to the non real currency, especially the currency in the network virtual economy. The issuer is not the central bank, and it can only circulate in a specific virtual environment. In the case of the connection between virtual and reality, virtual currency has its real value. Well known virtual currencies, such as online currency of Internet company, q-coin of Tencent company, q-point, roll counting of Shanda company, u-coin meter ticket launched by Sina (used for igome game), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), and grain silver (used for bixue Qingtian game). Digital currency can be used for real goods and services transactions, but only the digital currency issued by the state is legal digital currency. For example, bitcoin is illegal digital currency
since the beginning of the year, the relevant person in charge of the people's Bank of China has said that the future of mobile payment is bright, and the central bank is actively studying the relevant research results and practical experience at home and abroad to strive for the early issuance of digital currency. At the digital currency seminar of the people's Bank of China held on January 20, the relevant person in charge of the people's Bank of China disclosed that the central bank has set up a special research team since 2014 to conct in-depth research on the digital currency issuance and business operation framework, key technologies, circulation environment, etc., and strive to launch the digital currency issued by the central bank as soon as possible. At present, the research has achieved phased results
what benefits will digital currency bring to our lives
for this problem, the relevant person in charge of the central bank said that if the digital currency is successfully issued, it will bring many conveniences: it can effectively rece the high cost of the issuance and circulation of traditional paper money, and improve the convenience and transparency of economic transaction activities; It can rece money laundering, tax evasion and other illegal and criminal acts, enhance the central bank's control over money supply and money circulation, better support economic and social development, and help the comprehensive realization of Inclusive Finance; It helps to build a new financial infrastructure, further improve the payment system, improve the efficiency of payment and clearing, and promote the upgrading of economic quality and efficiency. More digital currencies can focus on bitMom
nowadays, many swindlers use the concept of district fast chain to hype, and then pull investment to cheat money. I really don't know what's the use of these people investing in an anti cheating system, which doesn't generate value.
at the same time, it can provide mutual trust for transactions by using trusted self-executive code, so as to rece uncertainty and promote digital transfer and asset transactions
bitcoin is the most well-known blockchain as an encryption currency that uses blockchain technology to realize alternative payment. Bitcoin is a kind of unlicensed blockchain, also known as public blockchain, which does not restrict the identity of users who consume bitcoin or participate in verifying the authenticity of transfer blocks in the blockchain (an energy intensive process, also known as "mining"). These miners get token, or bitcoin, in return, and given that everyone can view the block (though anonymously), the blockchain itself is somewhat transparent
bitcoin is controversial and banned by many countries e to user anonymity to a large extent. However, it is worth noting that the anonymity and energy use of bitcoin are its own characteristics, not the characteristics of the whole blockchain technology.
1. Lianzhuang data block structure based on blocks
2. Network wide shared ledger
3. Asymmetric encryption
4. Source code open source
with the popularity of digital currency, many people also have a strong interest and start to speculate in currency, and a series of scams appear at the same time, Therefore, virtual currency is under strict supervision in China, but with the application and deepening of blockchain technology, the era of blockchain 3.0 has come. Behind the operation of all walks of life, we can see the mode of blockchain cooperation. Therefore, blockchain will change the way of human life widely and profoundly, so the whole life service will enter the era of blockchain. In the process of Internet development, blockchain + physical instry, blockchain e-commerce and blockchain community operation can be applied to blockchain technology.
blockchain technology is not only the underlying technology of bitcoin, but also the core and infrastructure of bitcoin bitcoin has been running without any centralized organization operation and management. Later, bitcoin technology was abstracted, which was called blockchain technology or distributed ledger technology
extended data:
disadvantages of blockchain technology applied to digital currency:
first, there is no circulation management organization for "decentralization" blockchain technology is essentially a distributed database system with one-way linked list logic structure and P2P network design mode, which determines that there is no unified central control system for virtual currency based on blockchain technology
Second, it is difficult to effectively control the quantity supply the circulation of virtual currency based on blockchain technology is fixed, and according to Fisher Equation, the total transaction volume of the whole society under a certain price level in a certain period has a certain proportion with the required nominal currency volume, while the constant currency volume obviously can not meet the requirements of the growing total price of social goods Thirdly, "mining mechanism" is difficult to create recognized value bitcoin itself has no value and no national credit support. Some people think that "by continuously consuming computing power and energy to inject value into virtual currency", but it is obviously not the most efficient choice to consume millions of calculations in order to find a hash value that meets the requirements Fourthly, procers and early holders are easy to get high seigniorage any virtual currency based on blockchain technology is held by a few people at the initial stage of its development. Take bitcoin as an example. At first, bitcoin was only a proct of a few people's game. The first bitcoin purchase in May 2010 was $10000 BTC's purchase of $25 pizza. The first bitcoin transaction completed in July of the same year was $0.04/btcTerminology in the field of information technology. In essence, it is a shared database. The data or information stored in it is characterized by "unforgeability", "trace in the whole process", "traceability", "openness and transparency" and "collective maintenance". Based on these characteristics, blockchain technology has laid a solid "trust" foundation, created a reliable "cooperation" mechanism, and has broad application prospects
blockchain originated from bitcoin. On November 1, 2008, a person who called himself Zhongben Cong published the article "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system", which describes the framework concept of e-cash system based on P2P network technology, encryption technology, timestamp technology, blockchain technology, etc., which marks the birth of bitcoin
in recent years, the world's attitude towards bitcoin has gone up and down, but as one of the underlying technologies of bitcoin, blockchain technology has been paid more and more attention. In the process of bitcoin formation, blocks are storage units that record all the communication information of each block node in a certain period of time
each block is linked by random hash (also known as hash algorithm), and the latter block contains the hash value of the former block. With the expansion of information exchange, one block is connected with another block one after another, and the result is called blockchain
extended materials:
from the perspective of science and technology, blockchain involves many scientific and technological issues such as mathematics, cryptography, Internet and computer programming. From the perspective of application, in short, blockchain is a distributed shared ledger and database, which is decentralized, tamper proof, traceable, collective maintenance, open and transparent
blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. Blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin, which is essentially a decentralized database, as well as the underlying technology of bitcoin
in fact, the word blockchain does not appear in the original English version of bitcoin white paper, but the word chain of blocks. In the earliest Chinese translation of bitcoin white paper, chain of blocks was translated into blockchain. This is the earliest time when the Chinese word "blockchain" appeared
