Block chain to determine digital currency
thank you
to know the difference between them, we need to know the definition of them first
digital currency: short for digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital
currency", is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy
blockchain: blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. Blockchain is essentially a decentralized database, also known as the trust machine
from the above definition, we can know that blockchain is a technology, and digital currency is a kind of virtual currency
digital currency is not equal to blockchain
many people will understand blockchain as blockchain. Here I want to correct that digital currency is not equal to blockchain. Digital currency is only an application of blockchain, and some digital currencies may not be applied to blockchain technology.
for example, Sunzi asked Li Zi to borrow 100 yuan, but Li Zi was afraid that he would default, so he asked the village head to do notarization and add the account. This is called centralization. But if you don't ask the head of the village, you can shout "I'll lend my grandson 100 yuan! Please put it in the account book. "This is called decentralization. In the past, the village head was highly respected and had a good command of the accounts of the whole village. Everyone kept their money with him. This was the past trust in centralization. Now, everyone is worried that the village head will secretly misappropriate everyone's money. What should we do? So everyone sent an account book to everyone. Anyone who transfers money between them releases information through the loudspeaker. After receiving the information, everyone records the transaction in their own account book. This is called decentralization. With distributed ledgers, it doesn't matter if Lao Zhang or Lao Li's ledgers are lost, because Lao Zhao, Lao Ma and other families have ledgers
digital currency is abbreviation of digital currency. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy. Blockchain technology service upgrade technology
blockchain is the core supporting technology of digital cryptocurrency system represented by bitcoin. The core advantage of blockchain technology is decentralization. It can realize point-to-point transaction, coordination and cooperation based on decentralized credit in a distributed system without mutual trust by means of data encryption, time stamp, distributed consensus and economic incentive, so as to solve the common high cost, low cost and low cost of centralized institutions Low efficiency and data storage insecurity provide solutions
the application fields of blockchain include digital currency, token, finance, anti-counterfeiting traceability, privacy protection, supply chain, entertainment, etc. with the popularity of blockchain and bitcoin, many related top domain names have been registered, which has a great impact on the domain name instry
taking the tourism instry as an example, blockchain applications mainly focus on tourism travel, tourism community reviews, digital identity management, credit consumption management, tracking pilot's professional certificate and qualification, loyalty plan of hotels and airlines, reservation management and consumption points management. In addition, blockchain also has applications in finance, games, entertainment and other fields.
taking bitcoin as an example, it does not have an entity form, but exists in a special account book. All bitcoin transactions are recorded in the ledger. Through the transaction records, we can calculate the number of bitcoins owned by each user. If a person owns bitcoin, it means that he can find the relevant transaction records in the ledger
the ledger mentioned here is a software that we can download from bitcoin's official website, and the underlying technology used in this software is blockchain. In order to facilitate understanding, we usually say that blockchain is the ledger
the reason why blockchain is used as the underlying technology of ledger is to realize the feature of digital currency decentralization. It can be said that the starting point of a series of problems and solutions of digital currency comes from decentralization
2. Blockchain is a technology to ensure the safe use of digital currency. As we all know, blockchain technology has the characteristics of encryption and non tampering, which can rece the probability of errors in the use of digital currency to 0. Because digital currency requires higher encryption, it must be supported by blockchain technology. At present, not only many instries in China are using blockchain technology, but also many foreign countries are actively using blockchain technology.
As of May 2020, blockchain and digital currency are illegal in China
according to the announcement of the people's Bank of China Central Network Information Office, Ministry of instry and information technology, State Administration for Instry and commerce, China Banking Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Insurance Regulatory Commission on preventing the risks of token issuance and financing, Article 2 no organization or indivial shall illegally engage in token issuance and financing activities.
