Finance is the promoter of human civilization
if there is no division of labor, human beings may still be wandering in the age of slash and burn cultivation. Therefore, the first part of Adam Smith's great book, an inquiry into the nature and causes of the wealth of nations, is about the principle of division of labor. He fully affirms the contribution of division of labor to the improvement of labor proctivity
however, without the emergence of money, division of labor is impossible. Because division of labor means the inevitability of exchange, and if the success of exchange is not mediated by money, but by direct barter exchange, then the success of exchange can only depend on luck. Money makes the exchange smooth and smooth, so the division of labor can be expanded, and the proction efficiency and technological invention can be accelerated
many things are so common that they don't feel important. Such as air, water and sunshine, as well as the love of relatives, are often ignored, but they are of great importance. The function of money as a unit of valuation is just like this. If it is not priced in currency, the "price" of each commodity will be expressed by the exchange ratio with each other. With the increase of the number of commodities, the price will be innumerable and the transaction can not be concluded. Money makes each commodity have only one price, so the exchange is much easier
another example is insurance. If there is no insurance, sudden changes of indivials and families, whether natural or man-made, may cause the tragedy of family destruction. However, with insurance, allowing a large group of people to share the losses of indivials and families can, to a considerable extent, alleviate the pain of tragedy and rece social shocks, so that society can move forward as usual. Insurance is a moral thing, isn't it
for example, the initial function of futures market is to stabilize the cost of procers. Without the futures market to lock in the cost of proction, proction can only be intermittent, and social life will not be stable. With the futures market, procers can focus on the proction itself and disperse the risk of cost changes to the financial market. Isn't that serving the people
everyone knows the importance of the University. For hundreds of years, the university has been the main inheritor of human civilization, as well as the main source of new knowledge, new technology and new civilization. However, just as religious places need donations to survive, the University also needs a steady stream of huge financial support
the first-class universities in the United States, including Harvard University, Yale University and MIT, all have foundations, have considerable financial assets and employ financial experts to take care of them. Without high salary, masters and famous professors, how can they condescend to preach and teach in these private universities? It's the old yellow calendar. Without capital investment, how can a magnificent building and so many excellent students enjoy the best higher ecation in the world? Keynes, the great economist, used to work for the Cambridge foundation
many people always think that only hard-working and hard-working can be valuable. Such as farming, such as working, such as manufacturing, in short, it is a real thing. Finance, a virtual instry, does not create value. This is a serious misunderstanding
I often say that hard work, sometimes to avoid more hard mental work, is a kind of real laziness. There is no real instry in the world. Even farming requires seeds, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, farming techniques, and soil improvement. All of these can not be achieved by "sweating down the soil", but by science
it's very easy to simply make one thing. China is now the center of global manufacturing. But what to make and how to make it? But not the manufacturer has the final say. Apple mobile phones (iPhones), though mostly made in China, are just assembly. Its R & D and design are not in China, and the main profits are not in China. This is because the manufacturing is too simple. The assembly line workers just repeat a few actions. We will, and others will, such as Mexicans, Vietnamese and Brazilians, but R & D is something that a few talents can do. Apple's mobile phone is a gifted and epoch-making proct
it is impossible to create a new world only by exerting great efforts, sweating and repetitive manual operation. All the labor that can create a new world is the work of scientists who seem very relaxed on the surface. And behind science is investment. For example, research on new procts and new technologies costs a lot of money. Who dares to spend money on something that sounds unreliable and unlikely to succeed, such as Steve Jobs' iPhone idea? Just like the real people, how can they be willing to invest in these strange ideas. But some people dare. These are venture capitalists
Silicon Valley in the United States has bred many world-class high-tech enterprises, such as apple, Intel, HP, Facebook, Google, Oracle, Cisco, etc. with them, today's human life style is very different. But behind these leading enterprises, there is the support of venture capital
Keynes has demonstrated this point incisively for a long time. He said that economic prosperity is not determined by proction (supply), but by demand, and the key to demand is investment demand. Without banks and financial markets, investment would be greatly inhibited. In fact, the prosperity of social undertakings, such as the film instry, is not so? Hollywood blockbuster is popular, but it's made of money
Finance is a kind of system
no matter in the past coinage, or later paper money and electronic money, they are not "real things". They have little value in themselves, but they can leverage and replace those "real things" that are much bigger than themselves. It's because money is trustworthy. The foundation of trust is the power of system
exchange comes from people's inner needs, and the essence of money is only a means of transition, a lubricant, and an idea. Therefore, it is not necessary to use real things. Therefore, the government, with its coercive force, stipulates that people must accept it. Therefore, paper money is a kind of institutional arrangement
the bank is also a system. Modern commercial banks, not only deposit and loan institutions, but also create new and large amounts of money under the guidance of the central bank through the partial reserve system. Money in an economy is not mainly printed, but proced out of thin air. On the surface, it's a trick, but it's a real trick to improve people's welfare. Because the financial society tells you, sometimes just a little more money, your life will really be better, magic bar
most people have deposits, but others have loans, such as mortgage loans. People who go to the bank for loans are wise. Even your best friend, brother and sister, is willing to lend you hundreds of thousands of yuan to repay in decades? I'm afraid I can't, because borrowing money has turned many friends and relatives into enemies. But the bank is willing to lend you, let you pay back slowly! Mortgage is a system of mutual encouragement and restriction
the original meaning of finance is the flow of funds. Since the emergence of money as the main form of wealth, there have been surpluses (potential suppliers) and deficits (potential demanders). Rich people are not necessarily good at making money, but those who are good at finding opportunities for making money are not necessarily rich. Without banks, the demanders and suppliers of funds would never know each other in their lifetime even if they were looking for each other blindly. Generation after generation of life and desire, in the waiting disappeared
the bank is the organization to realize the dream and the magic wand of the fairy. With banks, lenders and borrowers will no longer have to go around and find banks. The bank promotes the communication between the surplus and the deficit, and realizes the "finance". How many people are successful in their career, from nobody to wealth and celebrity, because of this magic wand
interest rate is also a system. The demanders and suppliers of funds exchange cash flow between the present and the future. How to balance the supply and demand or make both sides achieve their wishes? It depends on interest. The function of interest is to suppress demand and encourage supply. When the interest rate rises, the demand will fall and the supply will rise; If the interest rate falls, the demand will increase and the supply will decrease. Therefore, there must be an interest rate that both parties are satisfied with, that is, the equilibrium interest rate, so as to balance the lending relationship
the stock market is also a kind of institutional arrangement, and investors' investment funds cannot be refunded. How can this be accepted? Investors can participate in the general meeting of shareholders, receive dividends and dividends, and transfer shares in the secondary market. Listed companies must disclose information on time. By these, in exchange for long-term financial support from shareholders, then listed companies can do business with long-term plans
how important is the financial system!
In 2014, Barry Silbert, founder of secondmarket, separated the bitcoin investment fund from the original company and established grayscale investments
in 2015, gray investment company was merged into the newly established digital currency group (DCG). DCG is not only focused on digital currency and blockchain investment, but also an incubator for start-ups. In addition to gray investment company, DCG also has two subsidiaries, namely, genesis, a cryptocurrency OTC broker, coindesk, a blockchain news and information website, and more than 150 other blockchain companies / projects invested
after years of development, gray investment company has become the largest cryptocurrency asset management company in the world, and its cryptocurrency trust scale has reached US $2.58 billion
{rrrrrrr}
extended information:
in 2013, Barry Silbert, the founder, convinced the board of directors of secondmarket company to set up a bitcoin investment fund called bitcoin investment trust, which is the predecessor of gray scale bitcoin trust. It was not until September 2017 that gray investment's bitcoin trust fund began to grow explosively
it has become the largest bitcoin investment trust in the world, with more than 408500 bitcoins, nearly 2% of the total. In addition to bitcoin trust funds, gray investment company also launched BCH, ETH, etc, horizon, LTC, XLM, XRP and Zec trust funds, as well as grayscale digital large capital fund with mainstream currencies. Gray investment company's cryptocurrency trust procts provide convenience for institutional users to purchase cryptocurrency
In 2020, blockchain will be included in the scope of "new infrastructure" by the state, and at least seven provinces will issue blockchain support policies. In the same year, blockchain technology is graally moving from concept to implementation, and the application scenarios are blooming“ Blockchain + "has become a symbol of the continuous maturity of blockchain< Novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic swept the world in BR />
2020,
2020. The uncertainty of world economic development has increased significantly. Governments and enterprises around the world explore the use of emerging technologies to rece the cost of economic and social operation, improve the efficiency of the real economy, and further seek new growth points for economic development
at present, with the cross innovation of blockchain, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other new technology infrastructure, more and more vertical fields of real economy present the development pattern of "blockchain +" and the good momentum of "from virtual to real"
in order to avoid the transition from real to virtual, in addition to continuing to crack down on speculation, we must also guide the deep integration of blockchain technology and practical application scenarios. Therefore, various instrial application scenarios of "blockchain +" have become one of the inevitable trends of blockchain development
according to the white paper on blockchain (2020) recently released by China Academy of information and communication, as of October 2020, more than 262 listed companies have set foot in the field of blockchain, including 39 fields such as insurance, real estate, commercial department stores, security equipment, packaging materials and telecom operation. In the blockchain information service record list published by the state Internet Information Office, the number of blockchain projects of listed companies has reached 45
among them, finance is the most explored scenario in the application scenarios of blockchain technology, and there are specific projects in supply chain finance, trade financing, payment and clearing, fund management and other sub fields. According to the white paper, as of November 2020, among the registered blockchain information services in China, the number of projects in the field of Finance (including supply chain finance) ranked first, accounting for 36%
with the acceleration of the implementation of blockchain applications, "blockchain +" business has become the development focus for Internet backbone enterprises to enter the blockchain instry. Besides financial business, actively deploy Internet, traceability and supply chain & amp; Logistics, digital assets, government and public services, intellectual property, law, medical and other fields
at the same time, it is graally understood in the instry that blockchain is the basic component of trusted transactions, but this does not mean that blockchain can take over the world. It is necessary to combine blockchain with other technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of things, big data, 5g, etc., and form an integrated solution by using synergy effect to jointly help digital transformation
according to the relevant data, at present, the application of blockchain is mainly in the field of certificate keeping, and blockchain has entered the stage of how to make it better, more reliable, more stable, better expansibility, and able to accommodate more nodes from the perspective of engineering. He Baohong, director of the Institute of cloud computing and big data, China Academy of information technology, believes that this process will continue for a period of time or more, and the next step is to shift the technical competition of blockchain from engineering optimization to technology ecology and business ecology
in addition, it is understood that the blockchain instry has been improving for a long time, and the instry cognition has returned to rationality. With the central government's planning guidance for the development of blockchain technology, China's blockchain has made it clear that it is based on the alliance chain, focusing on the development idea of serving the real economy and optimizing public services, and the direction of instrial development is further clear. At this stage, the majority of practitioners' confidence in the blockchain continues to improve, and generally recognize the long-term strategic value of the blockchain
what is the prospect of "blockchain +" in 2021
with the graal improvement of China's blockchain instry chain, most blockchain enterprises not only focus on one aspect, but also present the trend of multi field collaborative development. According to statistics, Beijing, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Shandong are the provinces and cities with the largest number of registered enterprises among the 801 blockchain information service filing lists published by the state Internet information office
the core role of blockchain corresponding to the technical characteristics is mainly reflected in the three aspects of certificate deposit, automatic cooperation and value transfer. With its value potential being continuously exploited, the application landing scenario has graally expanded from the financial breakthrough to the real economy, government affairs and people's livelihood and other fields
and the core value of blockchain for the real economy is to promote the efficient cooperation between the upstream and downstream instries and enhance the efficiency of the combination of instry and finance. In the early stage of development, the application mode of blockchain mainly focuses on the deposit of documents and contracts. At the present stage, the application of blockchain instry is graally moving towards automatic collaboration and value interconnection such as government data sharing, supply chain collaboration and cross-border trade
2020 is the warm-up of 2021. In 2021, the use of blockchain, distributed ledger and smart contract tools will continue to grow as in 2020. With the deepening of blockchain technology, the instrial foundation of blockchain will be better and better, the instrial ecology will also develop rapidly, and the instrial chain will be widely distributed
from the perspective of instrial structure, blockchain instry is mainly divided into four parts: underlying technology, platform services, instrial applications and peripheral services
the first three parts show a relatively obvious upstream and downstream relationship. The underlying technology part provides the necessary technical procts and components of the blockchain, the platform service part builds a blockchain platform based on the underlying technology to run the corresponding instry applications, and the instrial application part mainly uses the blockchain technology to develop instry applications according to the actual scenarios of various instries, Realize the innovation of business collaboration mode in the instry
peripheral services provide support services for the instry, including instry organization, market research, standard formulation, system evaluation and certification, instry media, etc., which provide power for the development of instrial ecology
among them, as far as the instrial application of blockchain is concerned, blockchain is not only the result of innovation and development of information technology, but also the main booster of business process reconstruction and instrial interaction mode innovation of various instries
blockchain has graally expanded from the initial digital finance to supply chain finance, proct traceability and other fields, and now it has been applied in government affairs, people's livelihood, instrial management and other instries, with increasingly rich application scenarios, showing a trend of deep integration with other instries
at present, domestic enterprises focus on serving the real economy and improving the application development related to government affairs and people's livelihood, among which supply chain finance and proct traceability have accounted for half of all applications, and other areas such as government affairs and people's livelihood have become the key layout areas of manufacturers in the future, which is about to see explosive growth
after the cooling of blockchain investment in 2020, the blockchain instry may graally become rational in 2021. However, a relatively complete instrial chain and active market players provide a good foundation for the development of blockchain instry. The blockchain instry will also show a positive development trend in policy support, ecological construction, platform service, application landing and integration innovation
