Block chain without V

1. blockchain technology uses mathematical methods to achieve distributed accounting and solve the trust problem, so as to complete the decentralization, which will bring far-reaching influence in many fields such as communication, finance, Internet of things, government management and so on
blockchain refers to the technical solution of collective maintenance of a reliable database through centralization and distrust in the past, and it is a technical way for the whole people to participate in bookkeeping. Previous bookkeeping methods were all centralized and needed centralized intermediary, whether it was traditional government, financial institutions, notarization institutions or emerging e-commerce platform and online payment platform
in economic hypothesis, information is sufficient. In fact, it is precisely because of insufficient information that there are very large intermediaries. The existence of intermediaries increases the transaction cost and raises the transaction threshold. In essence, blockchain technology is a large-scale collaboration tool. It makes direct value transfer possible by using pure technology for the first time, and continues the trend of Internet decentralization and disintermediation. Disintermediated blockchain technology will greatly subvert the information intermediary instry
blockchain technology is the basic technology for building bitcoin data structure and encrypted transmission of transaction information, which realizes the issue and transaction of bitcoin. The core of blockchain technology is that all the current participating nodes jointly maintain the transaction and database, so that the transaction is based on the principle of cryptography rather than trust, so that any agreed parties can directly carry out payment transactions without the participation of a third party
technically, a block is a data structure for recording transactions, reflecting the capital flow of a transaction. In the system, the transaction blocks are connected to form a main chain, and all the nodes participating in the calculation record the main chain or part of the main chain
a block contains the following three parts: transaction information, hash formed by the previous block and random number. Transaction information is the task data carried by the block, including the private keys of both parties, the number of transactions, the digital signature of electronic currency, etc; The hash hash formed by the previous block is used to connect the blocks and realize the sequence of past transactions; Random number is the core of the transaction. All nodes compete to calculate the answer of the random number. The node that gets the answer the fastest generates a new block and broadcasts it to all nodes for updating, so as to complete a transaction.

The

blockchain is a technical solution to collectively maintain a reliable database through centralization and distrust in the past
generally speaking, blockchain technology refers to a way for the whole people to participate in bookkeeping. There is a database behind all the systems. You can think of the database as a big ledger. So it's very important who keeps this account book. At present, whose system will keep accounts, wechat's account book is Tencent's account book, and Taobao's account book is Ali's account book. But now in the blockchain system, everyone in the system can have the opportunity to participate in bookkeeping. If there is any data change in a certain period of time, everyone in the system can conct bookkeeping. The system will judge the person who has the fastest and best bookkeeping in this period, write the content of his records into the account book, and send the content of the account book to all other people in the system for backup. In this way, everyone in the system has a complete account book. This way, we call it blockchain technology
now, blockchain technology will be very popular, especially in the financial sector. Ant finance, laikelib, Wanda, Ping'an and Minsheng have tried blockchain projects one after another, and European crowdfunding is in the forefront of using blockchain technology. The most successful case is digital currency

3. Blockchain is a technology to achieve decentralization, and it is an application model of a variety of Internet basic technologies. In essence, blockchain is actually an application model similar to internet protocol. The HTTP we usually log in to is an internet protocol. The Internet connects the global network through the underlying protocol, while the application protocol of blockchain is a new way to connect the network nodes distributed around the world. In the future, more and more people will understand and accept blockchain.

Blockchain is a new technology, not a disguised form of MLM. It is just claimed by many MLM organizations as "blockchain". In fact, there is no technology. It's just a practice of MLM under the name of "blockchain". The state has issued several announcements to crack down on this kind of MLM. The following is the Xinhua news report on MLM of blockchain:

blockchain is not equal to virtual currency, but also has security risks. Behind the popularity, there is exaggeration with "ulterior motives". Only by removing the flashiness, can the blockchain return to its real application value

invest 80000 yuan, change to 800000 yuan after three months? Shenzhen police cracked a huge fund-raising fraud. Under the guise of blockchain concept and 10 times income, thousands of investors were deeply involved in the case, involving up to 307 million yuan. Under the "veil of mystery" of the blockchain, the illegal elements have taken advantage of their own tricks, and the blockchain has become a "signboard" of economic crimes such as fraud and pyramid selling

why is the blockchain repeatedly "misused" by illegal activities such as pyramid selling fraud? In addition to "unknown", what is the "function" of blockchain technology itself? Since the beginning of this year, with the increase of supervision and the cooling of currency speculation, new opportunities have been brought to the development of blockchain. How about the implementation of blockchain commercial "application" The reporter of outlook news weekly recently concted an investigation

when the three-month "capital release period" promised by the trading platform expired and the staff began to "kick" in the QQ group, Tang Haiyan, who lives in Bao'an District of Shenzhen City, realized that she might have been cheated

previously, Tang Haiyan invested 80000 yuan to buy a virtual currency called "ordinary silver coin" under the introction of her classmates“ The other side said that this currency is the most advanced blockchain technology at present, with Tibetan tea as collateral. He also showed me the "technical white paper". I didn't understand blockchain, so I didn't read it carefully. "

although she doesn't know about blockchain and virtual currency, the high investment income makes Tang Haiyan full of expectations. She told reporters that companies issuing "ordinary silver coins" will regularly split the virtual currency according to the ratio of 1:10, which means that each split will make the value of "ordinary silver coins" in the hands of investors expand 10 times. As long as after a split, her investment of 80000 yuan is equivalent to the purchase of 800000 yuan worth of "ordinary silver coins", which can be sold on the trading platform to obtain huge profits

according to the rules of the trading platform, the newly purchased "ordinary silver coin" cannot be traded immediately, and it must be frozen on the platform for three months before it can enter the "release period". However, after three months, not only did Tang Haiyan not wait for the assets to double, but the 80000 yuan frozen on the platform could not be used for trading

"other investors began to question the authenticity of this investment in QQ group. As a result, the staff of the company kicked these investors out one by one, which made me feel bad." She said

The fact also proves Tang HaiYan's intuition. At the end of March 2018, Shenzhen police detected a huge fund-raising fraud, with the amount of fraud funds as high as 307 million yuan. In this case, Shenzhen Puyin blockchain Group Co., Ltd. involved in the case issued virtual currency in the mode of "blockchain + Tibetan tea" to obtain public deposits. Tang Haiyan was one of the thousands of victims

Shenzhen police investigation found that the company claimed that investors could buy and sell "ordinary silver coins" on the virtual trading platform "jucoin net" to earn a price difference

. In fact, the change of its trading price is that the company used investors' investment funds for behind the scenes operation, and once raised the price of "ordinary silver coin" from 0.5 yuan to 10 yuan, so that investors can taste some sweetness. When a large number of investors entered the market, the company continued to cash out through malicious manipulation of the price trend of "ordinary silver coin", which eventually led to the worthlessness of "ordinary silver coin" in the hands of investors

since 2018, engaging in fraud and pyramid selling under the banner of blockchain has become a common "routine" in new criminal tactics. In April 2018, Jinan police dropped a pyramid selling Gang under the guise of "western development", "national poverty alleviation", "original stocks", "blockchain" and "e-commerce", arrested more than 10 major suspects, frozen more than 100 accounts involved, and seized more than 300 million yuan of funds involved

according to Jinan police, huileyi e-commerce company designed a fake virtual disk on the Internet on the ground that the country is vigorously developing the big data instry, and released a variety of virtual currencies such as "precious currency" and "precious currency"

under the guise of giving away, they presented a certain amount of virtual currency to the New MLM staff, with the price of tens of yuan each. Then, through artificial manipulation, they appreciated the virtual currency all the way to more than 100 yuan or even hundreds of yuan, attracting people who did not know the truth to join. Finally, they "cut leeks" through the periodic fluctuation of the so-called "devaluation" of virtual currency, Finally, the purpose of seeking illegal interests is achieved

in Xi'an, a few days ago, the local police successfully cracked a huge network pyramid selling case under the banner of blockchain. According to the police, the suspect, Zheng Mou, has paid a high salary to the 9 network members, such as Zhang and Lee. Since March 28, 2018, he has gathered pyramid selling and network pyramid selling as a means to sell the virtual Datang coins at the consumption era network platform at the price of 3 yuan each, and manipulate the appreciation rate; p>

at the same time, promotion meetings were held in many cities at home and abroad to attract members. According to the development of members, 28 level agents were set up. In just 18 days, the gang developed more than 13000 registered members. At present, it has been found that the case involves 31 provinces, cities and autonomous regions in China, and the fund involved is as high as 86 million yuan

according to Tencent's 2017 pyramid selling situation awareness white paper released by Tencent security joint laboratory, in recent years, all kinds of overseas capital disk, virtual currency and ICO (initial public offering token financing of blockchain project) projects have emerged in an endless stream, which hide many risks such as illegal issuance, untrue projects, cross-border money laundering, fraud and pyramid selling, As a result, a large number of funds flow overseas. Once the market collapses, runs away or loses contact, investors often have no way to complain and the losses are difficult to recover. For example, Baichuan coin, mark coin, beta coin, dark coin, etc

the reporter of lookout Newsweek interviewed in Guangdong, Shandong, Shanghai and other places and learned that most people know that the concept of blockchain is very popular, but they "don't know where it is", and there are different opinions on the specific functions of blockchain: some people think it is used for "investment and financing", "buying and selling currency", while others think it is "a major invention of the same magnitude as the steam engine", Some entrepreneurs are even more eager to seize this "once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get rich."

many people in the instry said that it is precisely because people have many misunderstandings about blockchain that criminals have opportunities to fish in troubled waters and mislead investors

First, blockchain is not equal to virtual currency. By the end of last year, the number of domestic ICO participants and the total volume of transactions have doubled, a large number of digital currency exchanges have fled overseas, and the agent investment mode has involved more ordinary people in high-risk investment

in many instries, we media and celebrities form interest alliances with issuers and digital exchanges to endorse and create public opinion for the "air currency" project. In December last year, nine departments including the people's Bank of China identified ICO as "suspected of illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid selling and other illegal and criminal activities"

in the interview, many people told our reporter that the existence of token has built a set of rights and interests mechanism for the development of blockchain technology, which is indispensable for stimulating the prosperity of blockchain applications“ The market practice in the past five years has proved that blockchain applications without equity mechanism are just like market economy without computers connected to the Internet and money, with greatly reced application scenarios and development speed. " An investor in Shanghai said

in fact, the token represented by bitcoin is only one of the earliest procts to verify the blockchain technology, and the two can not be equated, and the existence of token has obviously negative effects on the development of blockchain

Xiao Wei, chief engineer of network blockchain, told this reporter that the myth of ICO's sudden wealth shakes the R & D concentration of blockchain technical talents, and the myth of "sudden wealth" with hundreds of times of return tests the patience of blockchain technical R & D talents“ Many of the "comrades in arms" in the circle who used to do research and development of blockchain technology have gone to issue coins, and now few of them can insist on doing research and development and application of technology. "

Xu zewei, Secretary of the Party committee of Beijing Internet Finance Instry Association, said that under the background of China's ban on ICO, many domestic start-ups promoting blockchain applications are "selling dog meat with sheep's pawn" and financing through concept packaging of worthless tokens“ ICO has polluted the good atmosphere of innovation and entrepreneurship, and created a kind of speculative proct. Many young people are not thinking about entrepreneurship, but are thinking about issuing money, which makes us have the illusion of getting rich overnight. "

at present, more and more people in the instry begin to think about whether the development of blockchain must rely on the issuance of tokens to achieve incentives. Guo Dagang, Secretary General of Beijing Internet Finance Instry Association, told this reporter that the so-called incentive mechanism is only the theoretical basis for the project party to issue tokens for itself. Huo Xuewen, director of Beijing Municipal Bureau of financial work, also believes that if blockchain does not get rid of the dilemma of issuing currency, it will never find a legal landing mechanism

secondly, blockchain is not omnipotent and its security is at risk. Blockchain is generally considered to achieve three functions:

first, the data stored on the blockchain can not be tampered or forged, and the data has high credibility and credibility; Second, the whole process of the transaction can be traced, which can achieve accurate responsibility tracking; Third, the embedded smart contract in the blockchain can be executed automatically based on the contract, so as to improve work efficiency and rece the risk of default. It is generally believed that blockchain has broad application prospects in finance, logistics, trade and other fields

in fact, blockchain is not omnipotent, and its function has many limitations. It is generally believed that, according to the characteristics of cryptography, in order to tamper or falsify in the blockchain, more than 51% of the nodes need to be controlled in theory. When there are enough nodes in the blockchain, it is difficult to tamper with the trust creation mechanism widely participated by the public

However, in reality, digital currency exchanges are frequently attacked or even stolen. On June 20, 2018, bithumb exchange of South Korea announced on its official website that the exchange had been attacked by hackers and stolen 35 billion won, about 32 million US dollars of cryptocurrency

Ji Xinhua, known as the first generation of "hackers" in China, said that the blockchain will continue to face attacks, and the process of uploading data to the blockchain is prone to information leakage. Some people in the instry worry that once the super computing power of quantum computing is realized, it will also have a direct impact on the blockchain

Zhao Yao, a special researcher of the Institute of finance of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, told this reporter that the academic community has confirmed as early as 2013 that the blockchain is not perfect and there are many "cheating" strategies. As long as there are enough economic incentives, controlling attacks of more than 51% nodes does not only exist in theory

Zeng Guang, Secretary General of Shenzhen Internet Finance Association, said that the blockchain technology itself does not have the ability to do so

5. The development of blockchain technology is obvious to all, but there are essential differences between blockchain coin and virtual coin. It can be considered that blockchain projects developed with entity pain points have specific landing applications and entity support, and blockchain tokens issued with entity pain points still have certain value support; If there is no specific entity and application to support virtual currency, it is just air currency and has no value, then the risk is relatively large.

6. Recently, under the banner of "financial innovation" and "blockchain", some lawless elements in Hainan have absorbed funds by issuing so-called "virtual currency", "virtual assets" and "digital assets", thus infringing the legitimate rights and interests of the public. This kind of activity is not really based on blockchain technology, but hypes the concept of blockchain, illegal fund-raising, pyramid selling and fraud, which mainly has the following characteristics:
1. Obvious networking and cross-border. Relying on the Internet and chat tools for transactions, and using online payment tools to balance funds, the risks spread widely and spread quickly
Second, deception, temptation and concealment are strong. They use hot concepts to hype, fabricate various "tall and tall" theories, and some also use celebrity "big V" platforms to publicize. They use airdrop "candy" as temptation to claim that "currency value only rises but not falls", "investment cycle is short, income is high, and risk is low", which has strong bewitching. In practice, criminals illegally make huge profits by manipulating the price trend of the so-called virtual currency, setting profit and withdrawal threshold. In addition, some criminals also issue tokens under the guise of ICO, IFO, IEO, etc., or hype virtual currency in the way of IMO under the banner of sharing economy, which has strong concealment and confusion
thirdly, there are many kinds of illegal risks. Through public publicity, criminals use "static income" (currency appreciation profit) and "dynamic income" (development offline profit) as t to attract public investment, lure investors and development personnel to join, and constantly expand the fund pool, which is characterized by illegal fund-raising, pyramid selling, fraud and other illegal behaviors
this kind of activity takes "financial innovation" as a gimmick, and its essence is a Ponzi scheme of "borrowing the new to repay the old", so it is difficult to maintain the capital operation for a long time. The general public should treat the blockchain rationally, not blindly believe the promises, establish a correct monetary concept and investment concept, and effectively improve the risk awareness;

7.

As of May 2020, blockchain and digital currency are illegal in China

according to the announcement of the people's Bank of China Central Network Information Office, Ministry of instry and information technology, State Administration for Instry and commerce, China Banking Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Insurance Regulatory Commission on preventing the risks of token issuance and financing, Article 2 no organization or indivial shall illegally engage in token issuance and financing activities. Organizations and indivials that have completed the token issuance and financing should make arrangements such as refund, reasonably protect the rights and interests of investors, and properly handle risks. Relevant departments will seriously investigate and deal with the activities of token issuance and financing that refuse to stop and the illegal behaviors in completed token issuance and financing projects

Article 3 strengthen the management of token financing trading platform

from the date of this announcement, any so-called token financing trading platform shall not engage in the exchange business between legal currency and token and "virtual currency", and shall not buy or sell token or "virtual currency" as a central counter party, and shall not provide pricing for token or "virtual currency" Information intermediary and other services

"illegal financial institutions and illegal financial business activities ban" stipulates that:

eleventh, the criminal suspect, funds and property involved in illegal financial institutions and illegal financial activities, and the public security organs shall take compulsory measures according to law to prevent suspect from escaping and transferring funds and property. p>

Article 12 the people's Bank of China shall, after investigation and confirmation, make a decision to ban the illegal financial institutions and financial business activities, declare them illegal, order them to stop all business activities, and make an announcement

Article 13 if the people's Bank of China discovers that a financial institution opens an account, handles settlement and provides loans for an illegal financial institution or illegal financial business activities, it shall order the financial institution to stop the relevant business activities immediately. No unit or indivial may use the relevant funds without authorization

Blockchain itself is not illegal, but if it is used illegally, it is illegal

Li Bin, deputy director of Chongqing big data application and development administration, said that as a disruptive innovative frontier technology in the field of big data intelligence, the Chongqing municipal government attaches great importance to active layout, and the municipal government and Yuzhong District Government jointly build a blockchain base. In the second half of last year, the government issued the opinions on accelerating the cultivation and innovative application of blockchain instry, It has officially launched the construction of a place for strategic innovation of blockchain

while actively encouraging the technological progress and instrial development of blockchain, we will resolutely prohibit the illegal use of blockchain technology in accordance with the requirements of relevant national policies

at present, China's blockchain technology and application continue to innovate, and are graally applied in supply chain finance, credit reference, proct traceability and other fields, with huge development space. As a new technology, if blockchain wants to realize large-scale practical application, it must strengthen the cooperation of instry, University, research and application, and promote the continuous development and maturity of technology and application

since 2017, the development of blockchain technology has aroused the deep concern of the government, enterprises and other sectors. Because of its decentralized, tamperable and traceable characteristics, blockchain attracts investors to add weight to this new technology field. For the previous hot speculation of blockchain technology, the cognition of it and investment circles has become increasingly rational

9. Bonus has been temporarily frozen, suspected MLM capital chain rupture, this is a very obvious sign<
the CBRC, the Ministry of instry and information technology, the people's Bank of China and the State Administration for Instry and Commerce suggest that in recent years, in the name of "financial mutual assistance", the behavior of promising high returns and luring the public to invest funds has appeared in many places in China. Its main characteristics include: 1
first, there are many names. Common are: "XX financial mutual aid community", "XX financial mutual aid platform", "XX financial mutual aid financing", "XX charity financial mutual aid platform", "XX financial mutual aid investment", "XX mutual aid community", "XX wealth mutual aid platform", etc< Second, it develops rapidly. Relying on the Internet, through the website, blog, wechat, QQ and other platforms, the publicity has a wide range
thirdly, it is confusing. Under the banner of "overseas celebrities", some claim to "destroy the unfair world financial system, break the control of financiers, and create a community for ordinary people" as the goal. Through the establishment of the so-called "fair, just, mutually beneficial and honest financial platform for people to help others", the public can get more help by subsidizing others. At the same time, he falsely claimed that "after market test, he has been mature in many countries for many years, and has hundreds of millions of members in the world" and so on
4. Strong incement. It claims that the investment threshold is low, the cycle is short and the income is high. For example, after free registration, the investment of RMB 60000-60000 can be withdrawn after 15 days, with daily income of 1%, monthly income of 30%, annual income of 23 times, and no handling charge. In addition, if participants develop others to join, they can also get extra income such as recommendation Award (10% of offline investment) and Management Award (the corresponding proportion is determined according to the membership level). There is no upper limit for development personnel and no upper limit for rebate< 5. Strong concealment. Most of them are controlled remotely by overseas personnel, and the investment funds are often transferred through personal bank accounts or through third-party payment platforms
this kind of operation mode violates the law of value, and it is difficult to maintain the capital operation for a long time. Once the capital chain breaks, investors will face serious losses. The general public is requested to raise their awareness of risks, invest rationally and prudently, and prevent their interests from being damaged. At the same time, we can actively report to the relevant departments the clues we have learned about crimes
bitcoin home and many mainstream media have reported similar virtual money pyramid schemes.
