The relationship and development of bitcoin and blockchain
blockchain technology is a new technology derived from the development of bitcoin economy, blockchain technology can effectively serve the bitcoin economy , they are interrelated. Bitcoin is a kind of virtual currency, which only circulates in a specific network economic environment, blockchain technology can not only be applied to the economy, but also can be used in all walks of life , which is their difference
Blockchain technologybecause blockchain technology is still a new proct at present, it has no accurate or definite definition and concept. In short, blockchain technology is a mode of data encryption management, which can protect data to a great extent. Blockchain technology is characterized by decentralization, openness, independence, security and anonymity. Its characteristics well adapt to the requirements of information protection and information disclosure in all walks of life. On the one hand, it ensures the security of data and avoids the interference of subjective emotions and system failures. On the other hand, data indivials can decide whether to hide their detailed information in the group to the greatest extent, so as to achieve the purpose of privacy protection
At the same time, there is no doubt that the blockchain technology is still in the state of preliminary development. The social understanding of it is not deep enough, and scholars are still in the stage of continuous exploration. Through the correct use, blockchain technology will bring many positive effects to the societybitcoin is regarded as the first generation application of blockchain technology and the most thorough application of its code testing. However, without bitcoin, there might not be so many people who knew about blockchain now. It can be said that bitcoin has greatly improved the "exposure" of blockchain technology
later, people graally found that the application value of blockchain is far more than bitcoin, but can be applied to many instries to solve the pain points of many instries; The idea of blockchain can also provide a lot of reference for the financial field, which is the real reason for the outbreak of blockchain.
blockchain technology is the underlying technology of bitcoin, and bitcoin is the first application of blockchain. As mentioned earlier, the transaction information of bitcoin is recorded in a decentralized ledger, which is called blockchain
if we compare the blockchain to a physical account book, then each block is equivalent to a page in the account book. A new account book is generated every 10 minutes, and the transaction information of bitcoin network is recorded on each page. According to the principle of cryptography, each block is connected in chronological order to form a chain structure, so it is named blockchain
since the white paper "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system" was born, major financial institutions at home and abroad have been competing to study the underlying technology of bitcoin blockchain and seek the practical application of blockchain technology.
