Virtual currency with application scenarios

1.

Background: the financial application of blockchain technology brings high investment value

2018 China international big data instry Expo opened in Guiyang City, Guizhou Province on the 26th. At the meeting, it was pointed out that China will vigorously develop the digital economy in the future, deeply implement the action plan for the development of big data and cloud computing, and deeply study blockchain technology and application. Especially in the field of finance, the landing application has become the focus of the scientific and financial circles

1. The value source of blockchain is that it can perfectly solve the pain points of the current financial instry:

in today's asset securitization, insurance, supply chain finance, commodity trading, asset custody and other financial scenarios, e to many participants, high cost of credit evaluation, low settlement efficiency of intermediary institutions and other reasons, Traditional financial service methods are difficult to effectively solve the long-standing core pain points in the instry, such as information asymmetry, complex and rendant processes, and high information verification cost

2. Why can blockchain solve the above pain points:

blockchain technology integrates many basic technologies, such as distributed accounting, tamper proof, built-in contract, etc., and constructs a trust building mechanism with lower cost. The financial application based on blockchain technology can realize the ability of all market participants to obtain all transaction information and asset ownership records in the market without discrimination, and effectively solve the problem of information asymmetry; Smart contract embedding reces the error rate of payment and settlement, simplifies the process and improves efficiency; At the same time, based on transparent information and brand-new trust mechanism, there is no need to spend manpower, material resources and financial resources to confirm information among participants, which will greatly rece the trust cost between institutions, and then rece the price of financial services and transaction costs

3. The application of blockchain technology in the financial field mainly includes the following aspects:

① digital currency

among which bitcoin is the most famous. On the basis of bitcoin, a large number of other types of decentralized digital currencies have been derived. Such as: the heyday of bits

Compared with the traditional payment system, blockchain payment can directly carry out end-to-end payment for both parties without the help of the banking system, which can greatly improve the speed and rece the cost

③ digital bills

④ bank credit management: the advantage of blockchain is that it can rely on program algorithm to automatically record credit related information and store it on every computer in the blockchain network, with transparent information, tamper proof and low cost

The major financial institutions and exchanges in Europe and the United States have explored the application research of building the next generation of financial asset trading platform based on blockchain technology

4. The development prospect of blockchain. The future development of blockchain technology will have the most vitality with alliance chain as the entry point, and will have a significant effect and far-reaching impact on the transformation of traditional financial instry pain points

in response to the good investment prospects of blockchain, domestic enterprises such as Alibaba, Jingdong and Netcom have entered the market. The application of financial scenarios based on blockchain technology not only brings us security and convenience, but also provides us with broader investment space. The rise and price surge of digital currency represented by bitcoin (bitcoin was about RMB 20 cents when it was first listed in 2009, and its current price is about US $7300!) It's the best proof that people with a keen sense of smell have made a lot of money from it

Abstract: This is an encrypted digital currency based on the bitcoin developed by Nakamoto Tsung, which improves and adds many new functions, such as the double-layer reward system network, also known as the main node network. It also includes anonymous payment to improve the interchangeability (bitage) and real-time payment function docking to realize real-time transaction confirmation without relying on the authority of the center (P2P mall)

In 2009, Nakamoto put forward the concept of bitcoin. Since then, bitcoin has spread rapidly in mainstream applications and commercial uses, becoming the first digital currency to attract a large number of users, which is a milestone in the history of digital currency. However, from the perspective of completing the transaction, we can find an important problem, that is, it takes too long for bitcoin block to confirm the transaction. Traditional payment companies have found a solution to enable the buyer and the seller to realize zero confirmation of bitcoin transaction, but this solution usually requires a trusted third party to complete the transaction outside the agreement

bitcoin provides pseudonym transaction, realizes the one-to-one transaction relationship between sender and receiver, and can always record the transactions occurred in the whole network. Bitcoin only provides low-level privacy protection, which is well known in academia. Despite this deficiency, many people still believe in the transfer history recorded by blockchain

based on Nakamoto's achievements, bitshengshi is an encrypted digital currency with the purpose of protecting privacy. We have made a series of improvements on the basis of the concept of bitcoin, resulting in a decentralized cryptocurrency with good anonymity. It supports tamper proof real-time transactions, and has a point-to-point sub network that can provide service reward system for bitsheng network

2. Master node network

the whole node is the server running on the P2P network, so that small nodes can use them to accept the dynamic changes from the whole network. These all nodes need significant traffic and other resources that consume a lot of cost. Therefore, it will be observed that the number of these nodes on the bitcoin network presents a steady downward trend over a period of time, so that the block broadcast time needs an additional 40 seconds. In order to solve this problem, many solutions have been put forward, such as the introction of Microsoft Research's new incentive plan and bitnodes incentive plan

Ten instry application scenarios of blockchain are listed on Oracle's website, including finance, proction, ecation, media, entertainment, government, retail business, health, medical care, supply chain, insurance and public utilities. Is it very tall? But what I want to say is that these application scenarios, in front of real high-energy blockchain applications, can only hide in the corner and shiver

now the real high-energy application scenario of blockchain is Ponzi application, commonly known as "Ponzi scheme". It is a smart contract type Qianbao, a blockchain game for rolling in and out of money, an ICO for trading, and a global pension platform

Ponzi scheme is one of the oldest application scenarios of our human beings. After Internet plus, the Ponzi scheme has upgraded the Internet + "Internet plus Ponzi scheme". The Internet enabled the Ponzi scheme, so there was an event similar to the 10 billion level of Qianbao. Before the Internet era, there were few Ponzi schemes on such a large scale. They were enabled through the Internet, and paid through mobile app. Finally, they rolled for several years and reached the 10 billion level

the Internet has broken the geographical restrictions, physical restrictions, capital flow restrictions and communication restrictions. As long as you have a mobile phone, you can play Qianbao app. Everyone participates in it, everyone gets into the money, and everyone gives out the money. According to the data of the people involved, it has reached the level of one million. Relatively speaking, the online pyramid scheme (Ponzi scheme 1.0), which still stays on the top of the list, has meetings every day, can't stop brainwashing, and uses violence and illegal means. It's simple and weak. With the rise of blockchain technology, the Ponzi scheme enabled by "blockchain +" can no longer be described as adding wings like a tiger. It is like a chicken changing into a tiger. Like the Internet, the "block chaining +" technology is a solid application to enhance the application scenario. Ponzi's fraud is further upgraded in the two generation of the Internet plus, because of the major improvement and improvement of the scene, turning into Ponzi scheme 3, whose characteristics are mainly in the following aspects:

1, centralization and no summit. The smart contract of blockchain runs automatically, and it does not need human intervention, nor can it be interrupted by human. Code rules are dead and cannot be tampered with. In terms of scene improvement, it solves the biggest pain point of Ponzi scheme for thousands of years, that is, the problem of head running away. Because the head is a program and code, the program of blockchain can exist forever, and no one can delete it. I think this is the biggest breakthrough. This virtual leader is always there. He can't run away, he can't run, he can't change. The rules will never change. He will stick to the Ponzi line for 100 years, 1000 years and 10000 years. It may be said that smart contracts can be iterated, and they can also be manipulated to leave a back door. Yes, but it can be done without iteration. Even if iteration is transparent and visible, it can be seen at a glance with a back door. This is the characteristic of the blockchain smart contract. If you cheat on it, you will get out a under the teacher's eyes. No one will participate in such a smart contract when it is online. Therefore, after technical review and verification, there is no backdoor, fair rules and irreversible smart contract, which can be realized by using blockchain technology. Such reliability, once verified, will never change. This is the certainty of the smart contract. A program or a character's code will not change. It will run one million times and one trillion times, and the result will be consistent and certain

2. The process was transparent. The number, address, account number, amount and time of deposit; Number, address, account number, amount and time of payment; All visible. Blockchain has a public ledger function, which can be viewed by everyone in the world, and the ledger data viewed by everyone is completely consistent. Why does Qianbao burst? Because we can't see his background account, how much money he goes in and how much money he comes out every day, and the details of each transaction. In this way, you can see the assessment of cashing ability before you pay in, and the assessment result is absolutely certain, that is, it will not change after you pay in

3. Complete anonymization. If you've ever heard of zero proof of knowledge. This part can be skipped. In short, some of the things we used to have in the mathematical knowledge base did not have application scenarios after many inventions. Later, it was found that it was easy to use these knowledge for anonymization. The cryptography technology in the blockchain can achieve identity hiding. As we all know, Zhihu can't achieve anonymity in a real sense in terms of technical structure, and blockchain can

The rules are open and fair to all. One yuan in gold, ten yuan in rebate. Everyone is the same rule. It will never change. If you pay one yuan, go to the front and pay for it, then the back will pay for it, and then pay for it. Fair, right? I have reflected on this many times, and I think it is fair

5. Sustainable iteration. In the low-level Ponzi scheme, the leader, proct designer, benefit distributor and benefit receiver are often four in one, while the blockchain Ponzi scheme can completely logically separate the four roles. Achieve sustainable iteration. Through collaboration based on socialization, these projects can be iterated on forever. There are now 400 senior engineers who are developing around bitcoin and constantly updating the code. These people can not know anyone. As long as the application is valuable, they can continue to iterate. Which centralized project can be achieved? Even bat level companies can't employ so many professionals scattered around the world. This kind of social iteration is not affected by the changes of a specific person or organization

"blockchain" enabled Ponzi scheme uses different range of blockchain technology, because the technology in this field is still constantly updated, and the application of smart contract has only increased in the past two years. The earliest application of blockchain is bitcoin. Some people think that bitcoin itself has the characteristics of Ponzi scheme. In 2013, I wrote a reply and implicitly pointed out that this new type of Ponzi scheme will have great lethality, because it has the characteristics of no head, open account book, no running away, open and fair rules. Later, I also found that many people around me like Ponzi scheme much more than blockchain technology. As soon as I hear that bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme, before I start talking about blockchain technology, I usually walk away in silence. On the contrary, you tell him it's a Ponzi scheme, and then they will ask, where can I buy it? Of course, there is a lot of controversy about whether bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme, because the practical application scenarios of bitcoin have been expanding

in the ICO boom, there are a lot of air coins, such as the bogus Ponzi scheme, which has no application scenarios. The buyers probably know that these air coins are Ponzi schemes, but they buy them because the packaging is good. It is estimated that there are hundreds or thousands of such air coins. The scope of the case is all over the world, and the amount involved is more than 10 billion. These ICOS use smart contracts for subscription and distribution, and then circulate in the secondary market by themselves. In this case, there is no guarantee that the money will be paid out, and some people will lose all their money. Many people, blockchain professionals, have always wanted to draw a clear line with these applications, because although these air coins use part of the blockchain technology, they are still a centralized organization or indivial behind them. There are few network nodes, and users directly converge to a certain organization or indivial when they are paid (so they will be swept away), but there is no doubt that, Air money still uses blockchain to make money and raise funds, which solves part of the problem of running away and improves the scope and communication ability of Ponzi scheme. This is an objective situation

and from this year, with the development of technology, the Ponzi scheme, which uses smart contracts to achieve more decentralization, began to surface. Smart contract locking is used for fund in and fund out to complete a complete closed loop of fund in, fund subscription and fund out. It can already be a very pure blockchain application. Some blockchain games can freely admit that they are a Ponzi game after their release. He said: you see, the rules are transparent, the code is visible, the gold entry contract is locked, they can't run away, no one intervenes, and the gold is automatically paid. Early play, early gain. This is a key breakthrough. It's a way to publicly admit that you are a Ponzi scheme, which can't be done by Ponzi scheme 1.0 and Ponzi scheme 2.0 before. Great. It's simple and rough

this solves the major obstacles in the promotion process of Ponzi scheme, which used to rely on brainwashing, but now it depends on code. You see, "this program doesn't run on its own. There's no back door in it, right? Is the leader gone? The capture of Nakamoto does not affect the continued implementation of the program, does it Therefore, the first batch of blockchain Ponzi scams are hooked by code farmers who can understand the code, and then these code farmers stand up again and say that after technical verification, it is really such an effect, driving other people who do not read the code to join

in addition to realizing the Ponzi scheme application scenarios of entertainment, gambling and fraud, blockchain also has the opportunity to make a big show in the Ponzi scheme application scenarios involving the national economy and the people's livelihood and public utilities, which can even greatly enhance people's sense of gain and happiness, and actually improve people's life. For example, the application of national or global public pension platform based on blockchain can solve several major drawbacks of pension: fund misappropriation. The account book is open, the funds are not centralized and locked, and no one can unlock it, except the recipients who meet the rules can pay out the money. There is no possibility of misappropriation

2. Inflation. The current pension system adjusts the coefficient every year according to a series of complex algorithms such as inflation. After adjustment, the recipients are often dissatisfied because the total amount has increased, but the purchasing power has decreased. Using the feature that virtual currency can't be issued, we can control the inflation rate and ensure that we get real money

3. Unpredictable problems. It is very difficult for us to predict the pension payment after 30 years, and we can predict it in advance through smart contract. Stimulate the enthusiasm of paying

4. Policy loopholes and fairness. There will be unfairness in the diversification of groups that any pension policy faces. Everyone wants to pay less and get more, pay later and raise earlier. The transparency of blockchain is refined to each account, rather than a set of general policies to plug the loopholes in the implementation process. Everyone is the same, pay more, pay earlier, pay earlier. It can even be inherited and never lost

this has greatly reced the burden and cost of the state's pension management. What the existing pension system can do, after using the blockchain technology, can still be done, such as the state subsidies, just pay money into the contract, lock it in, there will be no fake, such as compulsory payment, and every record is real and traceable. In a word, all the existing systems and rules can be linked to the chain. On the basis of not affecting the existing effect, the efficiency and output level are improved, and fairness is guaranteed. Moreover, because the cost of the huge management system is reced, the absolute number that everyone can get may be increased by a large part. This has played a real effect on improving people's lives, and also has a positive effect

3.

As a proct of e-commerce, virtual currency is playing a more and more important role, and it is more and more connected with the real world. However, with the growth of virtual currency, the relevant laws and regulations are lagging behind, which has laid many hidden dangers

1. fraud

2. impact on financial system

3. network security problems

   
   

4. solutions

   with the continuous progress of technology, electronic payment (including electronic money) is changing people's payment habits, but also changing people's consumption habits, promoting the expansion of consumer credit. It is necessary to pay close attention to the innovation of the form, the evolution of the nature, the difference of the operation mode and the possible impact on the credit risk and moral hazard of this new thing, and properly supervise it. But the more important thing is to give the market main body corresponding development space, avoid strangling the development vitality of the corresponding business organization in the early stage of market development. Therefore, the best way to treat e-money is to observe its changes and strengthen research. In the face of such remarks as "q-coin impacts the RMB financial market", we need to discuss them in the context of scientific and technological progress. The key to understand the problem is how to design relevant policies and encourage the development of electronic payment instruments such as electronic money, rather than the harm of speculative virtual money and electronic money. We call for strengthening supervision

4. The most promising virtual currency should be bitcoin. After all, it came out the earliest, and many countries support payment, with many application scenarios. Unlike other currencies, there is no way of circulation.

5. Blockchain technology is a decentralized consensus mechanism to maintain a complete, distributed and tamperable ledger database. It can enable the participants in the blockchain to achieve a unified ledger system without establishing a trust relationship
in the future, blockchain will be applied in any field and bring great impact on human life. Blockchain technology is regarded as one of the main protocols of the next generation of value Internet. Blockchain technology will be useful in any field of proction and life that lacks trust. From digital currency to securities and financial contracts, health care, games, artificial intelligence, intelligent contracts, Internet of things, identity authentication, asset trading, e-commerce, social communication, file storage and other fields can be widely used
in the aspect of medical treatment
when the blockchain technology is used to save the personal medical records, there will be the historical data of personal medical treatment, which can be understood as the electronic medical records on the blockchain. In the future, there will be data for medical treatment or health planning, and the real master of this data is the patient himself, not the hospital or a third-party organization. In addition, these data have strong privacy, and the use of blockchain technology also helps to protect the privacy of patients
payment system
compared with the existing traditional payment system, blockchain technology can avoid the complex system, directly between the two sides of the transaction, does not involve intermediary institutions, even if part of the network is paralyzed, it will not affect the operation of the whole system. This method has the characteristics of low price, fast speed, and no intermediate fees
banking
as a digital, secure and anti-interference account, blockchain realizes the core function of Banking: the safe storage and transfer center of value. Some banks with keen sense of smell in the world have begun to actively plan to join the army of blockchain research and application in order to gain the initiative in the fierce competition in the future
identity authentication of blockchain
blockchain has the feature of being accessible to everyone. Everyone can query the block information in any place with network. The high transparency also makes blockchain full of charm. In the future, ID card and account book are basically not needed, because every identity information can be written into the blockchain. When you need to verify the information, you only need to look it up to find it
election
based on the voting transaction on the blockchain, it can be confirmed that no vote has been modified or deleted, and there will be no improper voting
Real Estate
blockchain technology can change the operation mode of the real estate market. It can combine many complex processes and cases that real estate companies usually deal with, speed up the transaction process, rece fraud, and provide more transparent and secure transactions for each participant. Provides a way to achieve paperless and fast trading needs
securities issuance and trading
the probability of various kinds of errors in general stock and other securities trading is too high, which requires manual correction, thus prolonging the time required for transaction settlement. Through the transaction of distributed ledger, the automation of the whole process can be realized, and the security and efficiency can be improved. The identity and transaction volume of the trading party are recorded on the blockchain in real time, with an open, transparent and traceable system. It is concive to the market maintenance of securities issuers and regulatory authorities, and can rece the occurrence of black box operation and insider trading
in the scenario of relatively closed, multi-party trust problems and carrying value transmission, blockchain has unique technical advantages and also shows unique charm, which has great application imagination space. At the current stage, blockchain is worth exploring in some scenarios.

6. In fact, there is no better way to solve the problem of virtual currency fraud. We can only collect evidence as much as possible to call the police and seek the help of the police, but most of the police will not put on file to intervene in the investigation. The most ideal solution is to negotiate and see if we can recover certain losses. Of course, it can also be exposed through the media channels, and some losses can be recovered under the deterrence of media exposure. If you need a private letter, you may be able to help
if you don't know much about virtual currency, it is recommended to go to bitcoin house to make up for it. If you want to play virtual currency, it is recommended to go to some virtual currencies with good application scenarios. Bitcoin is the originator of digital cryptocurrency, a small-scale social experiment; Dog Coin focuses on charity and small reward; Ruitai coin is an asset packaging system using blockchain technology; Thousand gold card is mainly used in mall payment.

7. It's not easy to be sure. It varies from person to person. A promising virtual currency must be unique in technology and have its own set of application scenario planning
needless to say, bitcoin is the leader of the instry, and Ethereum is a big cheat; Ruitai coin is an asset voucher, which is the digitalization of assets; Vitality coin focuses on sports and health.
