Current development of blockchain Technology
in the Internet era, there is a database behind every system. This database can be regarded as a large account book. In the past, the person who maintained the system was responsible for managing the database and recording the user's behavior, that is, bookkeeping. However, the blockchain is "decentralized", which allows every member of the system to participate in it, not only everyone bookkeeping, but also through links, Everyone can have a complete account book
"blockchain is essentially a collective recording mode. What's special is that it adopts a set of techniques in an ingenious way to realize the authenticity and credibility of the recorded results, which is difficult to destroy and tamper with. " Zhang Xiaorong said, "first, everyone has the right to record and authenticate with each other to distinguish the true from the false, which is called consensus mechanism; Second, no one can tamper with the records, because there are cryptographic signatures; Third, everyone has a , so even if some account books are damaged, the whole will not be affected. This is called distributed storage. The information recorded in this way is presented in block mode according to the time chain, so it is called blockchain. "
various cryptocurrencies represented by bitcoin are originally an application of blockchain technology, which can be described as blockchain version 1.0. However, around 2014, the instry began to realize the important value of blockchain technology. Blockchain graally separated from digital currency and applied to various economic and social fields other than digital currency
it has broad application prospects
blockchain technology is considered as a disruptive innovation after steam engine, electric power and Internet. If the steam engine and electricity liberate the proctivity, and the Internet has changed the way of information transmission, the blockchain, as a machine for building trust, may change the way of value transmission
for example, in the financial field, the cost of reconciliation, clearing and settlement between financial institutions, especially cross-border financial institutions, has always been very high, and there are complex manual processes. The application of blockchain technology can help rece the cost of reconciliation and dispute resolution between financial institutions, and significantly improve the processing speed and efficiency of payment business, It also makes small cross-border payments possible. In December 2017, China Merchants Bank completed the RMB position transfer business from Hongkong Wing Lung Bank to Shenzhen Branch of Wing Lung Bank. This is the world's first interbank cross-border RMB clearing business based on blockchain technology
in addition, according to the white paper 2016 on China's blockchain technology and application development issued by the Ministry of instry and information technology of China, the application of blockchain has been extended to medical and health, ecation, charity, social management and other fields. Taking the cultural instry as an example, the low cost of reproction, the high cost of safeguarding rights, and the difficulty of providing evidence make the protection of intellectual property rights a pain point for the instry. With blockchain, the proction, dissemination and transaction records of cultural procts are true, transparent and reliable, and the problem can be solved
Zhang Xiaorong said that blockchain technology has solved two major problems in the era of Digital Economy: one is the visible flow direction, and the other is zero trust cost. In the past, the circulation of physical paper money was invisible, but the flow of all digital assets had a "chain" to check. Yang Yanchao, a researcher at the intellectual property center of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, also believes that the biggest advantage of blockchain is that it has truly completed the credit construction in an anonymous society, bringing new opportunities to many fields, thus making various innovative applications possible
there is a long way to go in the future development
in terms of technology promotion, there is no big barrier to blockchain, which has been confirmed in the global practice of bitcoin, and its main resistance comes from the obstacles in concept and implementation
"on the one hand, the society may be very concerned about the" naked "state in the blockchain. Blockchain has built a "Skynet" for the commercial society. The company's economic activities are all recorded, so there is no secret to speak of. In this way, some business strategies may not be implemented under the blockchain. "
"on the other hand, the current legal system lags behind the development of information technology, so how to put the emerging blockchain technology under the legal supervision needs to be studied." Duan Yongchao said
the core of blockchain is decentralization, which will have an impact on the long-standing central management model. In addition to the law, how to establish a regulatory environment that can promote the application of blockchain technology, so that the technology can benefit the society and not be used to do evil, is also an urgent problem to be solved.
It's only in the first tier cities that we know about this technology, but it's not very widely understood, let alone in other tier cities. The banking sector is also preparing to apply blockchain technology, but it has not really been applied. The financial instry also needs to apply it, but I don't know when. To be exact, blockchain is only in the initial stage of trial in China
in China, the instry in which blockchain has been applied is network mutual help bar. As I know, network mutual help platform concentric mutual help is the first real blockchain landing application in China. Through blockchain and big data technology, we can eliminate the defects of traditional network mutual help mode and establish an open and transparent new network mutual help platform

The sudden epidemic situation has pressed the "pause" button for many instries, but science and technology is the most effective means to fight against disasters. Blockchain technology has realized the combination with finance, logistics, supply chain, government affairs, public welfare, urban management and other application fields. At the same time, e to the imperfect development of technology, the role of blockchain in the prevention and control of the epidemic is very limited, so we need to explore deeper scenario applications
from the survey data, the main application directions of instrial blockchain in the post epidemic period include: traceability, financial (including insurance) supervision, collaborative sharing. Deposit certificate, digitization, credit investigation, digital asset transaction, etc
in the main application direction of instrial blockchain in the post epidemic period, more than 70% of enterprises choose traceability and financial (including insurance) supervision, in addition to collaborative sharing and certificate deposit. Digital also has more than 60% of the enterprise choice, compared with the low choice rate of credit reference and digital asset transaction, in which the choice rate of digital asset transaction is less than 50%, only 48%
to avoid risks and promote the healthy development of instrial blockchain
as an emerging technology development direction and instrial development field, blockchain has been widely concerned. The application of instrial blockchain is accelerating, which is mainly reflected in two aspects:
first, in the past, open source systems were represented in technology, and most of them were open source projects oriented to consumers, but now many projects oriented to instry and enterprise characteristics have been added; At the same time, more and more enterprises such as Internet giants and high-tech enterprises begin to enter this field, indicating that the era of instrial blockchain has come
secondly, the emergence of blockchain reces the threshold of trust and the cost of realization, enabling some financial and trade scenarios that could not be realized before to be realized. In this way, some new financial forms can be derived, providing more space for financial innovation
although the application of instrial blockchain is speeding up, it is still in an early stage of development. This is mainly reflected in the fact that blockchain technology alone can not fully solve the trust problems and information island problems between entities, and the emergence of blockchain technology also puts forward new problems for the current law and regulation
because of its decentralized and difficult to tamper with characteristics, blockchain has become a comprehensive subject driven by technology and deeply affecting economy, finance, society, organizational form and governance. In addition, blockchain technology is not yet fully mature in system stability, application security, business model and other aspects, which puts forward requirements for privacy protection and storage capacity of data on the chain
it should be noted that the current blockchain instry has been involved in many technical fields such as it, communication, security, cryptography and so on. What it needs is a kind of compound talents, which poses new challenges to personnel training and school ecation
the short-term impact of blockchain should be treated calmly to avoid overestimation. At the same time, it is necessary to further strengthen laws and regulations and supervision to avoid the possible risks of blockchain technology, so as to promote the healthy development of instrial blockchain

By the end of 2019, the number of blockchain research institutions in China has reached 97. In addition, domestic colleges and universities have arranged blockchain technology research, strengthened theoretical knowledge innovation of blockchain technology, and improved their blockchain technology R & D capability. By the end of 2019, there are 24 colleges and universities in China participating in strengthening blockchain technology R & D. The core technologies are mainly distributed in consensus algorithm, cross chain, underlying architecture and multi chain
in 2020, the blockchain instry will be further standardized
in 2020, China's blockchain policy will continue to be favorable, the standards and specifications will be more perfect, the instrial scale will continue to grow, the technology will continue to innovate and develop, and the application demonstration effect in key fields will accelerate. At the same time, according to the problems existing in the development of China's blockchain in 2019, CCID blockchain Research Institute puts forward six suggestions: accelerating the formulation of top-level design, establishing and improving the regulatory system, accelerating the innovation and development of core technologies, promoting the third-party evaluation and certification, strengthening the cultivation of professional talents, and accelerating the implementation of applications in various fields

for a single (domestic) central bank, bitcoin can be regarded as a "foreign exchange currency", and bitcoin will not be affected by the central bank's monetary policy. From this perspective, bitcoin is bound to bring about the so-called currency competition. When American tourists travel abroad, they will encounter the experience of exchanging foreign currency with unofficial exchange rate. The original intention of local people to exchange dollars may be to avoid the impact of high inflation (inflation tax)
if this kind of exchange can be "carried forward and widely used", the government's way of using inflation tax to increase fiscal revenue will be limited, and the traditional foreign exchange control will lose considerable effect. As long as there is Internet or telephone, people can use digital currency as the exchange medium<
challenge global currency status
although bitcoin is unlikely to replace the world's major currencies in the short term, bitcoin still has the opportunity to play a leading role in some specific occasions. The status of US dollar is obvious in many countries in the world, but the liabilities created by foreign banks under US dollar denominated deposits have brought jurisdiction problems. If the Bank of America further provides bitcoin denominated loans and accepts the redemption of bitcoin, what should the regulatory authorities do? In fact, there are similar signs in the euro dollar market today
in other words, at a time of financial crisis, if the market wants bitcoin deposits instead of US dollar deposits, then the central bank's status as "lender of last resort" in the traditional sense will be completely lost
acting as a safe haven asset
a safe haven asset does not mean a risk-free asset, but refers to the asset that investors are willing to pour in at a time of crisis. In the 1970s, real estate was a safe haven asset; In the 21st century, American debt has become a safe haven asset. Can bitcoin become the next key safe haven asset? The answer may be yes or no. But looking back on the dominant position of CUF in Hungary's mortgage loans in the time of the euro zone crisis, bitcoin obviously has a chance to become famous in the first World War: under the background of dollar inflation and bitcoin deflation, the US dollar / bitcoin exchange rate will plummet because the US Federal Reserve can't expand the supply of bitcoin
play the role of securities
in a perfect macroeconomic model, securities trading should be seamless. However, under the influence of monetary policy, the liquidity of OTC transactions of bonds is very poor. Even the ten-year US bonds with the best liquidity have had liquidity problems. Demand for good quality collateral, usually treasury bonds, has soared. If blockchain technology is mature enough, it is likely to bring billions of dollars of collateral supply to the market. Of course, lower demand for treasury bonds may lead to higher interest rates
maintain the stability of financial market
there is a view that the use of blockchain will lead to the withdrawal of global central banks from the stage of history. This possibility naturally exists, but in the short term, it is not too realistic - the central bank needs a lot of hard assets, such as real estate and human capital, to find liquidity carriers / media to completely retreat from the background
there is also a view that blockchain technology will make the financial market completely transparent, thus bringing a more robust financial system. However, it should be pointed out that the mainstream diamond and davige bank squeeze model does not rely on the opacity of the financial market. In theory, the bank's portfolio is completely transparent. But even so, unexpected large-scale redemptions can still cause problems in the financial system
the central bank's digital currency / cash
the current currency and payment structure were formed before the birth of the Internet. The world has changed dramatically, so people must learn to adapt. There is no reason to refuse the possibility of central banks providing digital currency. Before bitcoin, the U.S. Treasury provided online digital bond accounts. Although this kind of account is not used for payment system, it can be applied in theory
the digital account of the central bank has many advantages. First, depositors no longer need deposit insurance because there is no default risk in the central bank; Second, money managers who hold a lot of money can choose the central bank account as overnight deposit instead of shadow banking; Third, the cost of paper money supply will be completely eliminated; Fourth, it will be very convenient for the central bank to pay depositors' interest to facilitate the transmission of the central bank's monetary policy
practical application
Bubi blockchain has made a number of breakthroughs in the technical platform, which can meet the scenario of tens of millions of users, and has the ability to quickly build the upper application business. Bubi blockchain has been applied in equity, supply chain, points and other fields, and is concting experiments and application tests with exchanges and banks. As an integral application on Bubi blockchain platform, Shubei Hebao has been launched recently. Sunshine insurance, as the first large financial institution in China, issues blockchain integral (yangguangbei) on this platform, which is a good example for the landing application of blockchain technology in various instries
blockchain technology will have a profound impact on the financial instry and have an important impact in a long time. People will witness the profound changes in reality one by one.
