Report on blockchain in 2017

1.

The following are the reasons why 2017 will be the most critical year for blockchain:

the lasting value of bitcoin

bitcoin, the initial tool of blockchain, ended 2016 with a high profile, which is a good omen

just after the new year, fortune reported that

"after the prosperity of 2016, the price of bitcoin has reached $1000, which has increased by 120% since the beginning of this year, and recently reached the highest point in three years. The reasons, including the devaluation of RMB, the risk of China's currency control and geopolitical instability, have been considered as the key factors for the success of cryptocurrency. Another reason for bitcoin's landmark year is its staying power - the longer it stays, the more familiar it will be, and more like a real store of value. "

whether it is fair or not, the feasibility of blockchain technology is always closely related to the performance of bitcoin. If the decentralized database can succeed in the financial field, it can also be widely used in other places. According to convention, the healthy development of digital currency has triggered a discussion on how to integrate blockchain into new areas. With healthy bitcoin, blockchain can expand rapidly in other fields

existing participants

of course, this has existed for some time, because the blockchain has been firmly bound to bitcoin. Over the years, many groups have invested a lot of money to apply the technology to a wider range of areas, while adding new features and creating new applications. If 2017 is a great year for blockchain, these existing players must be ready to grow with it

this trend is marked by the addition of 8 new members to the hyperledger project before the end of 2016. Software company CA technologies, blockchain project factcom foundation, healthcare alliance hashed health, Korean koscom, accounting company ledgerdomain, trade ecosystem developer lykee, sovrin foundation and telecom company Swisscom all joined in the project

The

hyperledger project has entered 2017 with an eye-catching membership list, and plans to introce blockchain feasibility case studies in actual use cases

new investment

the sign that the technology will make progress this year is that companies all over the world have laid the foundation for using blockchain status. Companies around the world applied for or accepted 356 patent applications related to blockchain or digital currency in November last year, almost double the number in the first month of 2016, according to the report of blog technology

Marc Kaufman, financial technology intellectual property expert at Reed Smith, told blog:

"we have witnessed an exponential growth in the number of patent applications, and we expect to see thousands of blockchain patents in the next five years."

the company is submitting patents in such a rapid way because the blockchain has finally achieved its goal from Utopia to digital ledger tool. With the increase of the number of patents, the new discovery of the index blockchain will enjoy wider legitimacy in 2017

it is only time to know the development trend of blockchain in 2017, and vice versa. However, it is obvious that the status of blockchain technology can be seen by all, which also proves the expectation of early investors for its potential and may develop new potential in the future

blockchain has also become a hot topic in the financial sector in China, and all major domestic financial institutions have tested blockchain projects. China Post and IBM have jointly developed a set of blockchain asset custody system; Puyin group launched the tea based digital currency Puyin

Recently, MIT announced that it will launch MIT financial technology laboratory with several top technology companies in the world on July 18, 2018. Its main research directions include blockchain development, privacy security, database, encryption system, etc. ant financial is the only Chinese founder

In an exclusive interview with people, Jiang Guofei, director of ant technology laboratory, said that the former NEC technology VP, who has been wandering in Tokyo Bay and New York Bay for the past 15 years, said that China and the United States are almost on the same starting line in the independent research and development of Frontier core technologies such as blockchain, This is a sight that has never been seen before“ Whether it is Tokyo Bay, New York Bay or San Francisco Bay, they all rise in the blowout of Japan and the United States' comprehensive national strength. Now it's time to go to China, so I'm back. "

3. If you look closely at these two fields, you will find that they have begun to develop away from each other. Although digital currency is technically inseparable from blockchain, blockchain technology is not limited to digital currency. It is favored by various technical companies in terms of proct traceability, data transparency and distributed consensus. So what impact does the central bank's entry into digital currency have on the blockchain instry, It's not going to change much. At present, the ant gold clothing behind Alipay is the largest patent application company in the global block chain.
what benefits most from this is the domestic currency circle. In 2017, digital currency and related fund-raising activities were banned in China, which is quite negative in the eyes of ordinary people. In fact, the central bank's initiative to explore into cryptocurrency is the recognition of the core concept of digital currency. With this incentive, domestic enterprises will actively enter the instry and inject fresh blood into the instry, which is the most important
about this, you can see the reports of blockchain media, such as golden finance, coin easy to know column, chain news and so on.

4. I just know your question. Please look at the following answer:
blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin. It is essentially a decentralized database and serves as the underlying technology of bitcoin. Blockchain is a series of data blocks generated by cryptography. Each data block contains the information of a bitcoin network transaction, which is used to verify the validity of the information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
the information websites in the instry now include:
1. Dig chain network: dig chain network is a professional blockchain media information portal. Dig chain network gathers the big data of global blockchain trading institutions, takes technology as the core, creates dig chain index, dig chain flash, dig chain College and other core sectors, excavates the value of blockchain, and serves as a platform for blockchain entrepreneurs, entrepreneurs and experts Blockchain investors provide one-stop blockchain service system
2. Golden Finance: a well-known old station in the instry
3. Color cloud bit: it is also the old cloud in the instry

you can learn more about it yourself.

5. It's fire chain finance. News updates are fast and the quality of articles is high.

6. Bitcoin transactions are private, not anonymous. Many people can't tell the difference between privacy and anonymous. Privacy means that both parties know the identity of the other party, while the third party can't get their transaction information. Anonymity means that both sides of a transaction don't know who the other party is. You can actually trade once on the okex bitcoin exchange to really feel it.

No, blockchain is the underlying technology, and virtual currency is mostly developed or derived from this underlying technology
Mr. Yuan Wang is engaged in the development of digital asset blockchain system. If necessary, you can search "Mr. Yuan Wang" on the Internet to find detailed communication.
