Mixed currency of blockchain
1. Litcoin (LTC) is an improved version of digital currency inspired by bitcoin (BTC). It was designed and implemented by a programmer who worked in Google. It was released on November 9, 2011. Lightcoin and bitcoin have the same implementation principle in technology, but the creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol, which is not managed by any central organization
2. Sunshine coin (SSC for short) is sponsored by Liu Chunyang, vice president of Jinhua express delivery Association of Zhejiang Province, instrial entrepreneur and philanthropist of express delivery instry. As a legal person, Zhejiang Dongyang Yueyin Technology Co., Ltd. is registered with the formal instry and Commerce Bureau, with a registered capital of 10 million yuan. With this as the backing and support, the sunshine elite team affiliated to the company launched the first virtual coin sunshine coin
The English name of Vicat is onecoin, which is a kind of Internet virtual currency term created by the government and is suspected of pyramid selling fraudin 2017, CCTV announced the list of 350 fund pyramid schemes, with Vicat in the list
in May 2018, Zhuzhou County Procuratorate of Hunan Province prosecuted the last four suspects involved in the third batch of the "3.15" Vicat money online pyramid scheme case supervised by the Ministry of public security to the court
4. Amazon coin
Amazon announced in early February 2013 that it is expected to launch Amazon coins in the United States in May 2013. Amazon coins is a new virtual currency that allows U.S. users to buy apps, games and props in the kindle fire. Amazon will provide tens of millions of US dollars of Amazon coins at that time to let users try and consume the apps, games and props in the app on the kindle fire for free
5. Eth is a kind of digital token of Ethereum, which is regarded as "bitcoin version 2.0". It adopts the blockchain technology "Ethereum", which is different from bitcoin. It is an open-source public blockchain platform with intelligent contract results, and a resonance network composed of thousands of computers around the world. Developers need to pay eth to support the application. Like other digital currencies, ether currency can be bought and sold on the trading platform
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
since last year, a variety of digital currencies have emerged in an endless stream, and blockchain has also been on fire
many people are connected with blockchain as soon as they mention currency speculation; As soon as you hear that an enterprise is doing a blockchain, you will immediately ask if you want to issue money
it seems that blockchain is equivalent to digital currency, and the purpose of studying blockchain is to speculate in currency< br />
1
when you are new to blockchain or digital currency, it is reasonable to equate blockchain with currency speculation
after all, if it wasn't for the growing popularity of bitcoin, no one might have paid attention to blockchain technology so far. If it wasn't for more and more people investing in bitcoin, no institution would have issued a variety of other digital currencies
however, after in-depth understanding of blockchain and digital currency, we still think that blockchain is money speculation, so our understanding is really a bit biased
blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin. No matter bitcoin, Ethereum, lightcoin or other various tokens, they are all applications based on blockchain technology
but this does not mean that the blockchain can only be used to issue money, just like fish is raised in the water, but it can not be said that fish is water, and hairy crabs and crayfish can grow in the water
in addition to the various tokens we see at present, blockchain has a very broad application prospect

so what is a blockchain
to put it clearly, blockchain is: "blockchain is a kind of technical mole or encryption algorithm that is both basic application and top-level design. It breaks the barrier that an information is only saved by one central server or multiple services in the past, and copies the same information to more places at the same time, such as 1 million servers. Only when more than half of the stored information has been tampered with can chaos be caused. "
in a word, understand the relationship between bitcoin and blockchain:
blockchain is a technical concept born from bitcoin encryption technology
bitcoin is a kind of digital virtual currency, followed by the payment currency as a contribution to storage computing power
if you want to store the same information in countless servers, who will store it for free? There has to be a reward. Bitcoin is a reward for accepting free storage. This reward is a virtual thing called bitcoin.
in the past two years, the word blockchain is very popular, and blockchain e-commerce will undoubtedly be the biggest wind outlet in the next decade. However, the instry is in chaos. Many people think that blockchain is money and have many misunderstandings about blockchain. So before we talk about blockchain, we should first talk about the idea of blockchain
blockchain is now understood by most people as "currency". There are too many coin cards in the coin circle, bitcoin and bitcoin. In fact, blockchain has nothing to do with currency. It is a technology, a business ecology and an idea. It is mainly applied in every field. It is extremely similar to the Internet. Talking about blockchain now is like the Internet 20 years ago. What did we talk about the Internet 20 years ago? When talking about its technical architecture, operating system, language, server and so on, it was said at that time that Internet e-commerce was deceptive, because many people had not been exposed to this aspect. In fact, many people have misunderstood blockchain, especially after being confused by the currency circle
When did jiuzero blockchain start? Jiuling started to investigate and prepare from 2016, and has about half a year to investigate all aspects of the blockchain. In 2017, it began to enter the field of blockchain. By 2020, it will be the fifth year. It has gained a lot of experience and achieved a lot in application. We've never played with coins, never engaged in ICO. In the first few years, we didn't make a lot of noise, that is, we should do a good job in technology, platform and browser, and apply them in traceability. We have done a good job in the application of traceability since 2017, and many procts have been launched; In 2018, more than 10000 procts will be applied in traceability. In 2019, it will be further promoted. This year, it will be further developed, and all procts will be opened up in the whole process of visualization. So at the beginning, we used it in the field of traceability. Since 2018, we have used it in the whole blockchain ecology, including blockchain traceability, blockchain invoice, sharing economy, supply chain finance, general points and other applications, as well as the platform technology services we built. We have entered this field in an all-round way, And relatively speaking, it is relatively mature and completely implemented
What's more, why is blockchain on fire now? Why does the development of blockchain reach the height of "thinking"? This is in line with the trend of the times
let's review the history of China's economic development in recent decades. The wealth of Chiang Kai Shek's time was concentrated on the local tyrants, evil gentry and warlords. Mao Zedong liberated most of the common people as peasants, and United most of them was more suitable for the situation of China at that time. Therefore, he defeated Chiang Kai Shek, overthrew the bureaucracy of the local tyrants, evil gentry and warlords, redistributed their wealth, developed the proctive forces again, and completely redistributed their revolution and distribution, Mao Zedong really realized serving the people and let the people live a good life. In the era of large collectives, people go to work in the countryside to earn points. According to the points you earn, how much food can you get. In Deng Xiaoping's time, I felt that this was not right. It might be that the efficiency was not high, and I ate a big pot of rice. Later, I started the reform and opening up. After the reform and opening up, the fields were divided into households according to the number of people. After that, the output increased a lot, which stimulated everyone's enthusiasm, increased the output and improved the efficiency. After the reform and opening up, commercial instrial enterprises began to develop
we can see that economic development is based on the needs of the times. China's reform and opening up has gone for decades, from the traditional economic era to the E-commerce Internet economy, and now the blockchain has come out, also because of the new problems of wealth distribution in the Internet era
in the Internet era, social wealth is highly concentrated on several platforms, such as Alibaba, Tencent, Internet, Jingdong, etc. the Internet e-commerce leaders have too strong a say in finance, resources, procts and other aspects. Social development has completely lost its balance. The uneven distribution of wealth has made the rich richer and the poor poorer. The instrial enterprises without money, including the whole of China, are now difficult to survive except for the monopolized central enterprises. At this time, there needs to be another revolution in business. The proctive forces must be redistributed and readjusted. It happens that blockchain is born to meet the needs of the era of transportation
the rules and mechanisms of blockchain are completely open and fair, can not be tampered with, and can not be decentralized. The oligarchs of institutions are removed to form a sharing economy for common development. Why does the government support blockchain so much? Because the government can fully enter the field of blockchain for supervision, and the privacy of citizens can be protected. Personal information in the Internet is not protected, and personal information in the blockchain is in their own hands. In the era of Internet e-commerce, oligarchs monopolize information resources. There are too many fake and shoddy procts and too many false information, so we have no way to distinguish them
at this time, the rule mechanism of decentralized supervision of blockchain emerges as the times require. Blockchain is not only a technology (it has made some improvement and promotion in the original Internet technology), but more importantly, it can solve the problems that cannot be solved by the Internet, traditional e-commerce and traditional ecology, such as traceability. Traceability in the Internet age can be falsified. A traceability source can be pasted anywhere, but the traceability of blockchain is different. The technology of blockchain is real. Everyone can participate together. Through distributed storage, everyone can get the data, and then all things can be traced, including procts and invoices, Including a person to send a message can be traced, stored, fidelity
the traceability of blockchain starts with raw materials, then proction and processing, then warehousing, sales, etc. every link should be visualized, with pictures, videos and words, which will leave traces of every link. Only in this way can we make everyone trust completely and be fair, open and transparent when there are too many fake and shoddy procts and lack of trust. In short, blockchain is to solve the problem that the Internet can not solve
when it comes to blockchain, bitcoin is the first thing that many people think of. In fact, bitcoin's contribution to the world is to put forward a rule and mechanism. Bitcoin itself has no value. It has no proct and no support. But its technology and concept are very good, because this technology can't be fake. The source code of this technology is open source and can be shared. Its technology uses the idea of blockchain
as soon as the rules and mechanisms of blockchain come out, they are sought after by everyone. However, in recent years, they have been confused by money. That kind of money is deceptive and runs counter to blockchain. On the contrary, it makes people distrust blockchain because they don't know enough about blockchain and think blockchain is money. Because if you want to understand a field, just like jiuzero blockchain has entered its fifth year, you are engaged in blockchain ecology, blockchain traceability, blockchain digital integration, blockchain technology development, blockchain browser development and so on every day. In this field, you are still learning constantly, because it is not easy to learn a field thoroughly. The reason why we have been very motivated in the past few years is because we know that it is a big trend and coming. Just like the Internet 20 years ago, many people don't believe, understand and turn a deaf ear to it. But ten years ago, Tencent, Alibaba, Huawei and other big enterprises got up. At the same time, now this opportunity is in front of us. Can we seize it? This is a question worth thinking about
finally, let's make it clear that blockchain has nothing to do with currency
for regular blockchain enterprises, the government has requirements and certification standards
standards: three basic requirements (patent, soft work, registered company in national blockchain Park, paid in registered capital, dedicated blockchain R & D funds), four landing application standards (blockchain browser, website, blockchain application scenarios, blockchain procts), five kinds of blockchain professionals (blockchain finance professionals, Blockchain digital professionals, blockchain credit management professionals, blockchain software development professionals, blockchain encryption technology professionals, and employees with bachelor degree or above who have been employed for more than one year) can get six basic subsidies
in the blockchain instry, there are at least tens of thousands of companies doing money and ICU. They all say that they are regular, but can they take out these certificates. The document points out that as long as the company has digital currency or ICO, it is not a blockchain company
under the background of this era, the ideas, rules and mechanisms, decentralized supervision and privacy distribution of blockchain can protect everyone's interests, redistribute proctivity assets, prevent the interests from being too concentrated on certain oligarchs and institutions, let everyone participate together, and let everyone exert their energy together to fight against counterfeiting, tax evasion, tax evasion, tax evasion, etc The real purpose of blockchain is to crack down on false transactions and create a conscientious ecosystem that can protect the interests of the people and provide hematopoietic function.
