Major ecosystem projects and digital currency
If you want to participate in the transaction of digital currency, you must understand the digital currency ecosystem
It can be said that digital currency exchange is the most important part of the whole instry. Digital currency exchange provides investors and traders with the capital channel to buy and sell digital currency. At the same time, the trading activities of the exchange determine the price of many digital assetsaccording to coinmarketcap, the capital flow of digital currency exchanges is huge, with the average daily trading volume of the top five exchanges exceeding US $3 billion
there are hundreds of digital currency exchanges around the world, some of which operate globally in mainstream markets, while some focus on niche markets
for example, AAX is committed to providing services for digital currency traders and institutional investors, integrating the digital currency world with the global economy, and providing unparalleled first-class technical capabilities using the matchmaking engine supported by lseg technology
many substitutes have successfully occupied a certain market share shortly after their launch. What digital currency exchanges have in common is that they together provide the development soil for these alternative currencies
digital currency is no longer limited to bitcoin. Other digital currency assets, such as eth, XRP, BCH, usdt, LTC, EOS, xtz, etc., have a place in the portfolio and diversification strategies of many digital currency dealers
At present, there are many similarities between digital currency trading and foreign exchange trading, because the basic principles, tools, indicators and strategies used in foreign exchange are also applicable to digital currency trading. AAX College's digital currency trading section discusses these topics in depth and extensivelyblockchain protocol
blockchain is the underlying technology that makes digital currency possible. There are many kinds of blockchain protocols, and the technical characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of each protocol are slightly different
for example, bitcoin blockchain relies on mining and pow (proof of work) mechanism to process transactions, while another blockchain may use dpos (proof of entrustment) mechanism instead of mining. In addition to bitcoin blockchain, other noteworthy protocols include eth, hyperledger, EOS, XLM, Iost, kin, TRX and stem. Among these blockchain agreements, ETH (Ethereum) is commendable in promoting the rapid innovation of the entire digital currency ecosystem
Ethereum platform was created by vitalik buterin, which indicates that developers can make better use of the resources of the platform by using their own programming language solidity. Ethereum has made blockchain technology all the rage, creating a new world of innovative decentralized applications on the basis of smart contracts and custom tokens. At present, most of the substitutes are based on Ethereum's erc20 standard
the district centered financial movement, or defi for short, is also basically based on the Ethereum blockchain agreement
financial services
for every service in traditional finance, Ethereum based defi applications have corresponding alternative versions for everyone to access. The defi app allows users to create stable currencies, lend money and earn interest, send and receive payments, get loans, trade, take positions in the forecast market, enter the real estate sector, and so on. Smart contracts are the key to making decentralized services possible. Once certain conditions are met, the smart contract will automatically perform the pre agreed activities
at the same time, traditional finance also began to provide new customized services for the field of digital currency. At present, some fund managers provide investors with the option of adding digital currency into their portfolios, the trustee provides security services for investors who invest a lot of money in digital currency, and many analysts in mainstream media (such as Bloomberg) also have a strong interest in digital currency
digital currency hardware
for those who like to build their own security measures, the huge digital currency hardware market can provide professional traders and long-term holders with the tools they need. Trezor and ledger are the most famous hardware wallets. They essentially provide the same value for digital currency traders, that is, a more secure way to store digital currency
of course, digital currencies stored in hardware wallets cannot be traded in the market. Therefore, digital currency traders usually allocate funds between the hardware wallet and the exchange according to a certain ratio according to their own trading style preference
There are so many activities ofdata aggregators and blockchain analysis
cross blockchain, which proces a large amount of data, and also spawns the emergence of sub instries, namely data aggregators and blockchain analysis instries. Companies such as coinmarketcap are the preferred source for quick inspection of digital currency and exchange data. They collect statistics on trading volume, liquidity, market value, price trend, circulation and the whole instry, such as the total amount of money, the number of markets, the market value of the instry and the proportion of BTC market value
people who are more interested in blockchain analysis can find the required data in websites like blocktivity. Here, you can view the relevant data of each indivial blockchain agreement, including the number of operations in the last 24 hours, the average number of operations in the last 7 days, the market value and Cui index, that is, the remaining available capacity after the actual usage of the current blockchain agreement. All in all, these websites can provide valuable insights for the blockchain instry
for example, the average number of operations of Ethereum in the past seven days was 667000, with Cui slightly higher than 50%, while the average number of operations of EOS in the same time range was 63 million, with Cui slightly lower than 50%. Technically, the performance of EOS protocol is more powerful than that of Ethereum. However, this can not prevent Ethereum from occupying 70% of the total market value of the most mainstream currencies
digital currency media and conferences
in today's world, almost everyone is the publisher of content. Without we media instry, such a large-scale instry will no longer exist. Digital currency has given birth to a wide range of media patterns, covering news media, KOL and related conferences for currency, public chain and code
digital currency head media include coindesk, cointegration, bitcoin magazine, decrypt, CCN, bitcoinist, newsbtc, etc. Some KOLs are also well-known, sometimes even more popular than the news media
YouTube celebrities, such as datadash, dollar villante, altcoin buzz, Ivan on tech and boxmining, have subscribers from 200K to 300K. In the field of digital currency trading, the top stars of cryptotwitter include venture coinist, cryptocred and cryptodon alt, with 211k, 140k and 120K fans respectively
if you want to have face-to-face communication with companies and people, digital currency and blockchain meetings should not be missed. Every year, there are many conferences around the world for investors, blockchain experts, start-ups, institutional financing, currency or agreement related communities. In 2019 alone, we sponsored and participated in blockchain live in London, the capital summit hosted by coinmarketcap in Singapore and the world mobile conference in Shanghai. We have had exciting meetings with other digital currency companies and major financial institutions, and established contacts with regulators from different jurisdictions
digital currency supervision
with the continuous growth of the market and audience of digital currency instry, in most cases, financial regulators are still developing relevant frameworks to protect investors and consumers. Regulators may take a very different approach, which is a challenge for companies operating across multiple jurisdictions
ring the ICO boom in 2017 and 2018, many projects were launched before the regulatory framework was established, while some projects did not meet the criteria of the jurisdiction and were suspended ring the fund-raising process. All this comes from how to classify digital assets, and the understanding of classification is constantly changing. At present, we divide digital assets into security token and practical token
in the past year, with the proposal of Libra, the promotion of supervision is also increasing. The central bank is also actively exploring the significance of blockchain technology to its policies and economic activities, and constantly publishing reports
the rapid development of digital money ecosystem
these components of digital money ecosystem are growing and developing in an orderly way, contributing to the increasingly sound instry. From the minority interest in 2009 to the active digital asset economy, digital currency has come a long way
However, in order to achieve the development and wide participation of the instry, a strong ecosystem is not enough. We need a better link between digital money and global finance. The better the combination of digital currency and traditional finance, the easier it will be for newcomers to understand the digital currency ecosystemfor every novice, as exchanges, financial services, media and regulators graally adapt to the expectations of mainstream consumers, the digital currency instry will further develop, which may improve investment outcomes
There are also many differences between the promotion of digital currency and wechat payment. It does not have an Internet giant like Tencent, nor does it have an investment ecosystem under Tencent. Digital currency mostly cooperates with local governments. At present, digital currency prefers the offline scheme. In the three rounds of pilot projects in Shenzhen, the red packets of digital currency are only used offline, while in the pilot projects in Beijing, the red packets of digital currency are only used offline, It is also limited to offline use. At present, only Suzhou's online payment scheme has made a breakthrough. In Suzhou's digital currency pilot project, Jingdong digital currency has become the first technology company to cooperate with all six major banks, and is the pilot consumer scheme of digital currency e-commerce platform
Exploring online payment scheme is also one of the directions of the next digital currency pilot projectalthough digital currency has been connected to various business schemes, they are all third-party schemes rather than proprietary business schemes if digital currency wants to break the third-party payment barriers and offline & lt; Code card & quot; For digital currency, acquiring new users is not the current challenge. How to retain users is a difficult problem in promotion. A Shenzhen citizen who won the red envelope of digital currency told time, After using the red envelope of digital currency for offline consumption, the related apps are unloaded, and no other available solutions have been found. Therefore, the biggest challenge faced by digital currency is how to achieve user retention and breakthrough in the environment of a few technology companies dominating the micro payment market, This is how to build a self operating ecosystem for the government and how to cultivate the use habits of market users

1. The concept of ecosystem
in nature, any biological community is always inextricably linked and interacted with its natural environment through continuous energy material exchange to form a unified whole. Such an ecological function unit is ecosystem.
according to the above definition of ecosystem, the ecological function unit is ecosystem, We can understand it from types, such as forest, grassland, desert, tundra, swamp, river, ocean, lake, farmland and city; It can also be understood regionally. For example, a mountainous area with forests, shrubs, grasslands and streams, or a plain area with farmland, plantations, grasslands, rivers, ponds, villages and towns, are all ecosystems. Ecosystems are the basic components of the earth's surface, and their sizes vary greatly, from the whole biosphere to a drop of water and the microorganisms in it, Therefore, the whole surface of the earth is made up of different ecosystems of different sizes.
as an open system, the ecosystem does not accept the influence of the environment passively. Under normal circumstances, to a certain extent, it has a feedback function, which enables it to adjust automatically, Therefore, it is also a control system or feedback system.
the concept of ecosystem has raised our understanding of life and nature to a higher level, And become a solution to the environmental pollution faced by modern human Any ecosystem can be divided into two parts: inanimate matter inorganic environment and living matter biological community (Fig. 10-6).
inorganic environment includes solar radiation energy, which is the energy source of the system; Physical and chemical environmental conditions such as temperature, moisture, air, rock, soil and various nutrient elements; Biological community is the core of ecosystem, which can be divided into three groups:
the first group is autotrophic organisms, including a variety of green plants and chemosynthetic bacteria, Green plants are called procers. Through photosynthesis, they can convert water, CO2 and inorganic salts absorbed into primary procts carbohydrates, and further synthesize them into fats and proteins to build themselves. In this way, solar energy continuously enters the ecosystem through the synthesis and transformation of procers, It is the only source of food and energy for other biological groups. Chemosynthetic bacteria can also combine inorganic matter into organic matter, but the energy they use is not from the sun, but from the energy generated by chemical changes of certain substances. For example, nitriding bacteria can oxidize ammonia (NH3) to nitrite and nitric acid, The second type is heterotrophic organisms, including herbivores and carnivores, which are called consumers. As the name suggests, these consumers can not directly use solar energy to proce food, but can only obtain energy by directly or indirectly feeding on green plants, They can also be divided into primary consumers who directly depend on the branches, leaves, fruits, seeds and litter of plants, such as grasshoppers, rabbits, deer, cattle, horses, sheep and so on; Carnivores that feed on herbivores are secondary consumers, such as weasels, foxes, frogs, etc; There is a predatory relationship among carnivores, among which the strong become the third and fourth level consumers. These high-level consumers are the most ferocious carnivores in the biological community, such as lions, tigers, eagles and sharks in the water area. Some animals eat both plants and animals, which are called omnivores, such as some birds and fish, etc.
the third type is heterotrophic microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, fungi, fungi, etc Soil protozoa and some small invertebrates, which live by decomposing animal and plant resies, are called decomposers. Microorganisms are widely distributed, rich in the surface layer of soil and water body. There are few saprophytic bacteria and molds in the air. Microorganisms are the largest group in the biological community, There are 108 microorganisms in one gram of fertile soil. Bacteria and fungi mainly live by absorbing the soluble organic matter in animal and plant resies. In the process of digestion, they release inorganic nutrients from the organic matter and return them to the environment In addition, these soil animals can also decompose the organic matter into inorganic salts for plants to absorb again Utilization (Fig. 10-6).
3. Trophic structure of ecosystem
trophic structure of ecosystem refers to an organizational form formed by nutrient or food transfer between inorganic environment and biological community, and between procers, consumers and decomposers, It is the most essential structural feature of an ecosystem.
the nutritional relationship among various components of an ecosystem is realized through food chain and food web. Food chain is a chain like food dependence relationship between different organisms in an ecosystem. Each link in the food chain is called trophic level. Each biological population is in a certain trophic level, There are also a few species in the two trophic levels, such as omnivores. The food chain in the ecosystem includes two main types: the live food chain and the rotten food chain. The live food chain starts from the green plants fixing solar energy and procing organic matter. They belong to the first trophic level, the herbivores belong to the second trophic level, and various carnivores constitute the third The food chain of saprophytic food starts from the resies of organisms, which are crushed and decomposed by soil animals, and decomposed and transformed by bacteria and fungi. It is returned to the environment in the form of inorganic substances for green plants to absorb again. According to the trophic level, the decomposers are in the fifth or higher trophic level. Rats feed on grains, weasels feed on rats, and eagles feed on weasels, However, the food chain in nature does not exist in isolation. It is an easy to understand fact that almost no kind of consumer only feeds on a certain kind of plant or animal, and no kind of plant or animal is just a kind of consumer's food. For example, mice eat all kinds of grains and seeds, And grain is the food of many kinds of birds and insects. Insects are eaten by frogs, frogs are the food of snakes, and snakes are finally captured by Eagles; In general, the more complex the structure of the food web of an ecosystem, the greater the stability of the system
