Blockchain concept currency project
in addition, there is another kind of asset with the characteristics of anonymity. Its main functions include protecting the privacy of both sides of payment while realizing payment. The more famous ones are dash, monero and zcash
currency is mainly used as the "exchange medium" in the field of blockchain assets. The exchange medium is the general equivalent you use to exchange goods. For example, gold, silver and silver bills can be used as the exchange medium in the past
at present, there are more than 1000 types of digital assets in the world, and the number of currency blockchain projects is not growing fast. As of January 2018, bitcoin is still the largest market value. We are already familiar with bitcoin. In the next few episodes, we will give a detailed introction to Leyte coin, Xinjing coin, Dasch coin, Monroe coin and zcash.
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;
Blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, which is an important concept of bitcoin. At present, there are 35 stocks associated with the blockchain concept in the A-share market, of which 6 blockchain concept listed companies are traded on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, and 29 blockchain concept listed companies are traded on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange
according to the correlation of blockchain, the leading stocks of blockchain concept stocks are most likely to be born from Xinchen technology, luyitong and Sifang Jingchuang
Xinchen Technology: on September 29, 2016, the company said in the interaction that the company is now doing research and development of blockchain technology
Lu Yitong: the company plans to raise 67.9691 million shares of additional shares of RMB 24.57 per share, and the total amount of supporting funds will not exceed RMB 1.670 billion, which will be used to pay the cash consideration of this transaction, construct the block chain ASIC chip instrialization project, artificial intelligence ASIC chip R & D center, chip proct marketing and service network, etc
Sifang Jingchuang: on May 31, 2016, the inaugural meeting and the first general meeting of the financial blockchain cooperation alliance (Shenzhen) was officially held in Shenzhen Wuzhou Hotel, and the company was one of the members of the meeting
of course, the coin here is what we often call token, which originally means token (temporary) in computer identity authentication. With the popularity of blockchain and digital currency, people have a variety of translations for token, including token, integral, certificate, logo, indicator, etc
the understanding of token in the market can be divided into two categories
in the first category, 99% of the people think token means token, because 99.9% of the projects do the same thing. Set up a foundation, build a website, write a white paper, and then go to ICO. Because most of the projects are still in the conceptual stage, token itself has no other meaning except trading, so people call it token, which performs the function of currency to some extent
in the second category, professionals and institutions are more willing to translate token into proof of equity, or token. For example, a person's identity certificate, academic certificate, equity, bonds, points, bills, etc., are authentic and tamperable because of the proof of rights and interests. Every proof of interest becomes more secure and reliable through the protection of cryptography
therefore, blockchain is not only a technology, but also a new mode of proction and organization, even a new thinking
so, the question now is, does the blockchain project have to issue currency
answer: you may not issue currency. Not all blockchain projects need to be issued with currency, and it is not necessarily blockchain projects that issue currency
for example, the alliance chain does not need to issue coins. For example, Tencent's q-coin, in principle, is also a kind of currency, but it is not a blockchain project
therefore, the two are not related, but if they are public chains, they need to issue coins. Why
let's take bitcoin as an example. Bitcoin system as a public chain must rely on the existence of bitcoin. Public chain obtains the stability and non tamperability of its system through the nodes distributed all over the world, and these properties are the basis for the existence of public chain
imagine that if the bitcoin system is unstable or can be easily tampered with, bitcoin will be worthless. These nodes are not set up by one or several companies, otherwise they are equivalent to private chain or alliance chain. These nodes must be built dynamically by many participants. And the existence of these nodes must need some kind of incentive, otherwise why do the builders of these nodes want to participate in your system. And this kind of incentive must be integrated with the blockchain system, and it must be money
then why is it currency, not legal currency, such as RMB, as an incentive
if RMB is used as incentive, because RMB should be stored in the RMB account, and the account itself is centralized, so it's easy to be controlled. Just think about why domestic bitcoin exchanges are so afraid of the central bank, and they are afraid of being weaned. In addition, RMB can't react with smart contracts within the blockchain
the electronic currency issued by the central bank can not be used as the original currency and incentive of a blockchain system. Why
if the central bank or a rich person wants to destroy a project, they just need to take out enough e-money to do enough nodes and attack 51%. Therefore, it is impossible to use the e-money issued by the central bank as the original currency and incentive blockchain system. However, blockchain projects with independent native currency and incentives have no such worries
If a person or organization wants to get enough nodes to carry out 51% attacks, it must first get more than 50% enough coins, and the amount of coins in the market is certain, so before it gets enough coins, the soaring price will make it hard for him to bear
therefore, a public chain project must have money. A public chain project without money is like a castrated person
in addition, only through the token and reasonable stimulation of output, can the proction relationship be changed and the value of blockchain be brought into play. Therefore, the project must have token, which can promote the development of the project faster. Token solves the problem of incentive and consensus, and incentive solves the problem of autonomy. The positive autonomous economic ecosystem and the underlying technology of blockchain are a perfect combination.
Recently, the term blockchain has been used frequently in various venture capital activities. Many investors have a premonition that the wind is coming and want to do some track layout in advance, but they don't want to pay tuition blindly. When talking about blockchain with many institutional investors, the basic answer is to look at it. The general feeling is that there are too few projects and the appraisal is too high. The key is not to understand
