The essence of blockchain knowledge
blockchain is a kind of technology, which solves the core "trust" problem in the market economy and reces the trust cost between strangers to a very low level
there is one crucial thing in the market economy, which is "trust". Without trust, no deal can be established. When you go to LAICHANG to buy vegetables, if you don't believe that the pesticide content in vegetable is up to the standard, you won't trade with that dealer; If you buy a bottle of water in a small shop, the clerk will not sell you the water if he doesn't believe that the money you give is real
the traditional small-scale peasant economy is acquaintance economy, and the transaction scale is limited to people who are familiar with each other nearby. If an acquaintance deceives you, he will lose your social relationship and damage his reputation in the whole circle of acquaintances. We believe that acquaintances are less likely to cheat us than strangers
therefore, once we are beyond the scope of acquaintances, we need to use a high cost to identify whether a stranger will cheat me and how to avoid the risk of being cheated. This situation will hinder the transaction and restrict the transaction
in addition, different races, nationalities, cultures, religious beliefs and so on will naturally have this kind of trust problem
in the market economy, why can there be so many transactions between strangers? Because of the birth of a new mechanism to solve the problem of trust in strangers
so far, the most important mechanism to solve the trust problem is the "trust intermediary" organization and mode
as long as you and strangers trust a third-party organization, the trust problem between you can be solved through this third-party organization
this third-party organization, we call it trust intermediary. Both the government and the bank are trust intermediaries
you can sell the goods you have worked hard to proce to a stranger in exchange for a stack of RMB banknotes. It's because the credit of the note issuing bank and the guarantee of the authority of the government guarantee the currency value and effectiveness of the banknotes. Otherwise, sell things, in exchange for a few ordinary paper, who would like to
in the era of global village and Internet, the people who buy your things may be strangers who will not meet and thousands of miles away. Trust is lower, so Alipay assumes the role of trust intermediation. Buyers first pay the goods to Alipay's account. When they receive the goods, they confirm that they are OK, then they agree to sell the goods to the seller. Taobao and other e-commerce have been booming rapidly in just over ten years
trust intermediary is in a central position in the transaction system. All transactions should solve the trust problem through it
However, the cost of trust intermediary itself is often hugeas a trust intermediary, how much transaction tax does the government charge each year? What is the most profitable instry? Financial services. The annual profits of Alipay's ant suit are over ten billion. p> What does this mean? Both sides of the market actually pay a huge trust cost
if there is any way to cancel or greatly rece the trust cost, the transaction cost of the general public can be reced, and the profits can be greatly increased
so in the Internet era, blockchain technology is on the stage
it allows the trading party to get rid of the intermediary, solve the problem of trust among strangers, and greatly rece the cost of trust
the blockchain can be expanded on a large scale, the data is open and transparent, the data of each client is consistent, and even if some clients are destroyed, the data security will not be affected. These highly reliable technical features can solve the trust problem of strangers with low cost
this technology can be extended to all fields that can be digitized, such as digital currency, payment and clearing, digital bills, proof of rights and interests, credit reference, government services, medical records, etc
in the medium and long term, blockchain will be a revolutionary technology, which will bring about great social changes like the existing Internet, and has great investment value and money making opportunities
in the future, the companies that can combine blockchain with different scenarios to promote applications may be the next group of bat, the next Google, Microsoft and apple
as the first practical application of blockchain technology, bitcoin has been widely accepted and used all over the world. Millions of users and tens of thousands of merchants have accepted the payment of bitcoin as a digital currency, and the exchange value of bitcoin as a currency is growing. Even e to the consensus that the total amount is fixed and the long-term value is bullish, bitcoin has become a hedge asset similar to gold, and the price has skyrocketed
1. Application of blockchain technology in the banking instry the biggest feature of blockchain technology is decentralization, which will rece a lot of costs for the banking instry. The development of digital currency will make it possible for banks to realize real-time digital transactions. For example, in bill transaction, bank bill transaction always relies on the third party to realize the transfer of valuable documents. Even in electronic bill transaction,
also needs to be authenticated through the information of central bank ECDs system. The blockchain technology can realize the point-to-point value transmission, which no longer needs centralized system control. This not only speeds up the bill transmission speed, but also reces the mistakes caused by human factors. The rection of process will naturally rece the demand of the bank for personnel and save the labor cost of the bank
2, the application of blockchain technology in the insurance instry
blockchain technology also has incomparable advantages in the insurance instry. From the perspective of data management, the application of blockchain technology can effectively improve the risk management and control ability of insurance companies, including the risk supervision of insurance companies and the risk management of policyholders
the application of blockchain technology in the insurance instry can strengthen the internal risk supervision of insurance companies. Blockchain technology can record the daily operation process of insurance company on the node, realize the in-process control of the company's capital flow, investment situation, compensation amount and other business, and improve the company's risk management and control ability
3. Application of blockchain technology in the securities instry
4, blockchain technology and financial infrastructure
blockchain technology is a decentralized mechanism for value exchange, which will lead to earth shaking changes in the existing financial infrastructure characterized by centralization
5. Application of blockchain technology in supply chain, It has become an effective guarantee for enterprise bank's loan credit, financing credit and transaction credit
in a village, a spent 3000 yuan to buy a cow of B, how to record this account
so a and B found a mutual trusted C to record the account, but later a and C colluded and did not admit that a had bought B's cattle, so the deal became rough and disputes continued
later, B had another cow. Of course, B didn't sell it to a this time, because a had no credit, so he gave it to d. This time, instead of looking for witnesses, they went to the whole village to roar after the transaction. B said Wang Erhua paid 3000 yuan to buy a cow from me, d also went to the whole village to shout that I paid 3000 yuan to buy a cow from B, so there were many people in the village to record the transaction. In this way, there will be no bad debts, which is called decentralized and distributed accounting
here comes the problem
when you yell, are the villagers willing to charge for you, just because you have a big face
therefore, the first person to record accurately will get some bitcoin rewards
someone asked, what if two people finish the first record at the same time
in order to avoid this problem, it is necessary to set rules, for example, to answer a question first, or to record with feet, and it must be written in block letters. If you set a series of rules, there will not be many firsts
in the network, there are a lot of transactions going on every day, and there are also many people recording, and finally they get the reward of bitcoin. This process is the legendary mining
Mining requires a lot of equipment. We call these computer equipment mining machines
in this way, all the processes are in one system. The system will encapsulate the data every 10 minutes to form a box full of data, which we call blocks
with the continuous generation of blocks, they are linked together to form a blockchain.
blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger. Blockchain is not something. You can think of it as the Internet. No one will think that the Internet is an object. Blockchain is a new model. If we think of it as an account book, it means that all transaction information is in this book. Due to the characteristics of decentralization, it is not subject to the jurisdiction of a third party
blockchain is a decentralized database in essence. Once the contents in the database are recorded in the chain, they cannot be tampered with, and all the contents can be traced back to their source. The centralized procts may be tampered by the jurisdictional party. Therefore, blockchain traceability is also commonly used to trace the source of goods
there is still a lot of knowledge about blockchain, which is just a simple concept. In depth understanding, we need to take time to look at the news and learn about its landing applications. We can see more about password finance.
then, how to judge whether blockchain technology is reliable depends on two main points
first, there should be a real application scenario. No matter how small the application scenario is, it must be valuable
whether blockchain technology can finally be implemented depends on many complex factors, and one of the key points is the application scenario. To find the corresponding application scenario, we should start from the technical characteristics of blockchain itself. Blockchain technology can provide decentralized, tamper proof, safe and reliable characteristic guarantee without introcing third-party intermediaries
Second, the application of blockchain technology should be able to solve problems, not manufacturing problems
with real application scenarios, it also hit the pain points in the instry, but these are not enough to make blockchain technology truly land in the real economy and realize the integration with the real economy. Because the most critical point depends on whether the blockchain technology is applied to solve the problem
with the application of blockchain technology and the assistance of some Internet of things devices, investors can query the real-time and dynamic data of the project at any time, and can directly monitor the progress of the project in different places even without leaving home
using blockchain technology to solve the original difficult problems, combined with the real application scenarios, the implementation of blockchain technology in the real economy has become a natural thing.
first of all, practice is the foundation of cognition, and practice is the source and driving force of cognition. Blockchain technology is constantly developing in practice
practice is the only criterion for testing truth. Blockchain technology will continue to test, enrich and develop in practice
People's cognition is repetitive, infinite and ascending. We should constantly pursue the truth and push forward our knowledge.
