Blockchain region and community
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 victimsShenzhen 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 investmentin 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 blockchainZhao 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
secondly, it can help traditional instries (including Internet enterprises) to raise funds. After all, it is difficult to raise funds now
finally, it can help enterprises to transform
&< br /> < br />
"currency reform" and "chain reform", as hot topics in the instry recently, have received comprehensive attention. What is the real significance of currency reform and chain reform? Is it a gimmick or an innovation? This paper will discuss and analyze it in combination with the social and legal background< br />
1. What is currency reform?
in a broad sense, currency reform refers to the transformation of the business model, that is to say, enterprises can enable users to obtain the use, payment or income of procts or services in some specific business application scenarios by issuing a token, that is, to combine the traditional economic model with the token economy. Generally speaking, the token attributes involved in the currency reform can be roughly divided into three categories:
&
debt attribute, i.e. commitment to repay principal and interest. According to the relevant provisions of the commercial bank law of the people's Republic of China, no unit or indivial is allowed to engage in the business of absorbing public deposits without the approval of the banking regulatory authority of the State Council. Therefore, in China, it is suspected to violate the existing laws of our country to issue a debt warrant without obtaining the business license issued by the banking regulatory authority of the State Council< br /> < br />
bond attribute, that is, the virtual token represents the certificate of debt debt relationship, that is, a fund lending relationship is formed between the token issuer and the investor, the investor becomes the creditor, and the issuer promises to return the corresponding principal and interest within a certain period of time. The difference between the bond currency reform and the debt currency reform is that the bond currency reform has a clear return period, while the debt currency reform's repayment time depends on the project situation. According to the relevant provisions of the regulations on the administration of enterprise bonds, the issuance of enterprise bonds must be examined and approved by the branches of the people's Bank of China in provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government and cities under separate state planning in conjunction with the competent planning departments at the same level. The issuance of corresponding enterprise bonds shall be underwritten by the securities business institutions, and the transfer of enterprise bonds shall also be concted in the approved places where bond transactions can be concted. Therefore, in China, the currency reform of bond property is contrary to the regulatory requirements of China's law< br /> < br />
equity attribute, that is, the virtual token represents the ownership certificate of the investor to the enterprise, and the token holder obtains the corresponding rights and interests by virtue of the token, and needs to bear the corresponding responsibilities and risks. In accordance with the relevant provisions of the measures for the administration of initial public offering and listing, the public offering of shares shall proce application documents in accordance with the requirements of the CSRC, which shall be recommended by the sponsor and reported to the CSRC. In China, those who issue stocks without the approval of the CSRC may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years or criminal detention in accordance with Article 179 of the criminal law< br />
for China's regulatory environment, on September 4, 2017, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions issued the "notice on preventing the risk of token issuance and financing", which explicitly prohibited any organization and indivial from illegally engaging in token issuance and financing activities. Therefore, if the "token reform" mode still uses token issuance for fund-raising, it is prohibited by China's policy; If they engage in relevant activities abroad in the form of overseas subjects, they still need to comply with the restrictions of foreign laws on the nature of tokens< br />
Second, what is chain reform
according to the development degree of the existing blockchain technology, blockchain technology is used to transform the technical part of the business system with some technical principles and mechanisms in the blockchain, so as to create more efficient or more credible business system, and even use all kinds of points issued on the blockchain Token to redistribute the interests of shareholders, employees and customers in the business system, and indirectly improve the proction relationship behind the business system
Chinese government departments hold a positive attitude to encourage the development of blockchain technology, and various parts of the country have successively issued blockchain incentive policies to support the implementation of blockchain projects. In the chain reform, whether it is assets on the chain or the introction of token economy, it should be based on the necessity of the combination of blockchain and traditional economy, in line with the requirements of the policy< br /> < Third, the value of currency reform and chain reform
from the above analysis, it is not difficult to see that the current discussion on currency reform and chain reform is still at the level of the combination of traditional economy and blockchain economy, and in addition to achieving technical compliance, it is necessary to break through some existing development bottlenecks:
first, from the level of China's legal compliance, the token financing model in the early stage should be broken through, In order to avoid the conflict with the existing regulatory framework, we should really give the use value of the pass, define the attribute and use mode of the pass
Second, instry standards will be issued at the national level to promote the integration of traditional economy and blockchain technology in all aspects, such as asset chain, data credibility, etc
thirdly, the driving force of the existing blockchain instry is mostly the spontaneous formation of the "market", which is in urgent need of instry exploration led and presided over by the government. In this sense, the "market" force needs more positive guidance to proce results after bold attempts or mistakes
whether it is currency reform or chain reform, it is ultimately the transformation from traditional thinking to blockchain thinking. Through the use of a whole set of mechanisms including blockchain technology and blockchain economics, a new set of business logic and scenarios will be formed, which will eventually generate value rapidly under the promotion of the government and the market< br /> < 4. The small area is a consulting service company for enterprise transformation blockchain. Service content includes: Project packaging, blockchain technology development, media publicity, image design, docking financing, etc. The team members are from Microsoft, apple, Internet, Alibaba, Tencent, meituan and other well-known Internet companies. The team has rich experience in blockchain. The company's vision is to be the largest enterprise service provider in the blockchain instry
at present, there are cases in the financial, dry cleaning, hairdressing, logistics and other instries in the district. The development of the instry needs some enterprises to dare to try, and the district is the representative of the currency chain reform< br />
Dongguan ha ha
A: first, the connotation of blockchain
blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies
2. Characteristics
1. Decentralization
blockchain technology does not rely on additional third-party management institutions or hardware facilities, and there is no central control. In addition to the self-contained blockchain itself, each node realizes information self verification, transmission and management through distributed accounting and storage
2. Openness
the foundation of blockchain technology is open source. In addition to the private information of all parties involved in the transaction is encrypted, the data of blockchain is open to everyone. Anyone can query blockchain data and develop related applications through the open interface, so the information of the whole system is highly transparent
3. Independence
based on consensus specifications and protocols, the whole blockchain system does not rely on other third parties, and all nodes can automatically and safely verify and exchange data in the system without any human intervention
4. Safety
as long as 51% of all data nodes cannot be controlled, the network data cannot be arbitrarily controlled and modified, which makes the blockchain itself relatively safe and avoids subjective and artificial data changes
5. Anonymity
unless there are legal requirements, technically speaking, the identity information of each block node does not need to be disclosed or verified, and the information transmission can be anonymous
