阿里为什么不做区块链
今天我们来聊聊阿里为什么不做区块链拓展，关键词有：技术不成熟，落地应用不明显，投资风险大。
技术不成熟：区块链技术是一种新兴的技术，虽然它具有许多优势，但它的发展还处于初级阶段，技术上还存在许多挑战和不确定性。由于技术的不成熟，对于区块链技术的实施，仍然需要花费大量的时间和精力。阿里的核心业务模式是基于现有技术的，而区块链技术还处于初级阶段，投入的成本会比其他技术更高，因此阿里不愿意投入大量的资源去拓展区块链技术。
落地应用不明显：目前，区块链技术在各个行业的应用还不是很明显，尤其是在金融行业，区块链技术的应用仍然受到监管的限制，这使得区块链技术的落地应用受到了一定的限制。而阿里作为一家大型的互联网公司，其核心业务模式是基于互联网的，因此，阿里不愿意投资一种应用不明显的技术。
投资风险大：区块链技术的发展仍处于初级阶段，技术的不稳定性和应用的不明显性使得投资者对投资区块链技术的风险感觉很强。而阿里作为一家上市公司，股东的利益是首要考虑的，因此，阿里不愿意冒投资区块链技术的风险。
总的来说，阿里不做区块链拓展，主要原因是技术不成熟、落地应用不明显以及投资风险大。虽然区块链技术具有许多优势，但它还处于初级阶段，在实际应用中仍然存在许多挑战和不确定性，因此，阿里不愿意投入大量资源去拓展区块链技术。

⑴ What is the essence of blockchain and where can I learn blockchain?
Blockchain is a series of transaction records that are connected and protected by cryptography. , is a new application model of computer technologies such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, and encryption algorithm. As an important concept of Bitcoin, blockchain is essentially a decentralized database. As the underlying technology of Bitcoin, it is a series of data blocks generated using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains Collects the information of a batch of Bitcoin network transactions and is used to verify the validity of the information and generate the next block.
This is a passage from Alibaba's documentary "Dream Makers". PS: It will be quoted many times below, which can well explain the term "third party". This is also the beginning of the birth of Taobao and Alipay. In other words, Alibaba was forced to be the "third party" at that time, because no company could play such a role at the time, so Alibaba became the center of trust. Merchants and users chose to give money to Ali. However, what if Ali absconded with the money (although it is impossible...) or there is something wrong with the financial operator (after all, he is a human being...)? It would be great if there was a machine or a "super system" to do these things! Today, more than ten years after the Internet technology has been updated and replaced, blockchain appears in front of us, yes! It is that "super system"! A trust machine.
With blockchain, things start to look different.
Traditional centralized approach:
"Decentralized approach under blockchain network:
In a decentralized network, each user can be directly connected to each other , there is no longer any third party participation, and the transfer between users is like hand-to-hand cash payment, which is why Bitcoin is called "electronic cash".
Okay, now A has transferred the money to B, then who will keep this account? In the past, Alipay helped me keep accounts and reconcile them, and they will be stored in the Alipay backend system. In order to ensure that all users’ transactions are recorded and the accounts are correct, Alipay will do it for me. This requires a lot of effort. Look at the early days of Alipay...
With 1,000 bills a day, manual reconciliation is already very painful. With the current size of Alipay, there are as few as hundreds of thousands of bills a day, even if it is System reconciliation will inevitably miss orders, and corresponding manpower and material resources will be spent to maintain this very complex revenue and expenditure settlement system. Having said so much, how does the blockchain reconcile the accounts? The answer is: no! There is no need for reconciliation or zero liquidation in the blockchain network, because each node in the blockchain (that is, a computer or understood as a user) has its own ledger, which is updated in real time. Any transaction that occurs in the blockchain network will be recorded in your own ledger. Yes, you also have other people’s ledgers, but you don’t know who this person is because they all look like this:
⑵ BlockWhat Alibaba has done on the chain
Jack Ma: I want to know what Bitcoin can bring to society
At the two sessions, Jack Ma... Oh, sorry, Comrade Jack Ma who doesn’t want to wear a red hat Did not attend the two sessions.
So, let’s review Jack Ma’s remarks when evaluating Bitcoin:
In November 2017, Alibaba, Ant Financial and Xiongan Signed a strategic cooperation agreement to build the "Digital Xiongan Blockchain Implementation Platform". Currently, Ant Financial has provided blockchain application technology in the rental field in Xiongan. It can be said that Xiongan has become Alibaba’s first experimental field for the overall implementation of blockchain technology.
⑶ How to understand blockchain
Blockchain and blockchain technology have been accepted and used by a wide range of people, but there has always been a lack of understanding of blockchain and blockchain technology. They all have little knowledge, and they are even more confused about the working principles and operation methods of blockchain. Maybe you have read a lot of related reports, and there are a lot of professional terms and jargon, but you still don’t have a clear understanding of it. Here Bit Window will explain it to you in a popular way.
Blockchain is a new application model of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, and encryption algorithm.
This is usually the professional accompaniment we see in reports, but what is the specific form?
First of all, no matter how big a system or how small a website is, there is usually a database behind it. So who will maintain this database? Under normal circumstances, whoever is responsible for operating the network or system will maintain it.
If it is a WeChat database, it must be maintained by Tencent’s team, and Taobao’s database is maintained by Alibaba’s team. Everyone must think that this approach is natural, but this is not the case with blockchain technology.
Secondly, blockchain technology is also called distributed ledger technology. That is, if we imagine the database as a ledger: for example, Alipay is a typical ledger, and any change in data is an accounting type. We can think of database maintenance as a very simple accounting method.
The same is true in the world of blockchain. Everyone in the blockchain system has the opportunity to participate in accounting. The system will select the person who has the fastest and best accounting during this period, maybe within ten seconds, or ten minutes. This person will do the accounting, and he will record the changes in the database and the ledger during this period. Recorded in a block.
We can imagine this block as a page. After the system confirms that the record is correct, it will link the data fingerprint of the past ledger to this piece of paper, and then send this piece of paper to everyone else in the entire system. . Then the cycle starts over and the system looks for the next person who can do the accounting quickly and well, and everyone else in the system gets a copy of the entire ledger.
Finally, since everyone (computer) has exactly the same ledger, and everyone (computer) has exactly the samerights, so no single person (computer) loses contact or goes down, causing the entire system to crash.
Since there are exactly the same ledgers, it means that all data is open and transparent, and everyone can see the digital changes on each account. Its very interesting feature is that the data in it cannot be tampered with. Because the system will automatically compare, it will consider the account books with the largest number of the same number as the real account books, and the small number of account books with different numbers as others are false account books.
In this case, it makes no sense for anyone to tamper with their own ledger, because unless you can tamper with most of the nodes in the entire system. If the entire system only has a few nodes, it may be easy to do, but if there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and they are distributed everywhere on the Internet, unless someone can control most of the computers in the world, it is not very easy. It is possible to tamper with such a large blockchain.
I wonder if I can understand this simple explanation?

⑷ What exactly is blockchain and what is the use of blockchain
Recently The word "blockchain" appears very frequently on the Internet. It can be seen that recently everyone is very interested in the word "blockchain". So what is "blockchain" and how to explain "blockchain" , what kind of chain is "blockchain"?
If we want to know what “blockchain” is, we must first start with Satoshi Nakamoto.
In November 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto posted a research report on a secret cryptography review group, describing his new idea for electronic currency-Satoshi Nakamoto proposed : "I believe there is a currency that doesn't rely on credit, and I can't stop myself from thinking about it." Bitcoin was born.
Although we still don’t know who Satoshi Nakamoto is, we all know the famous Bitcoin and the recently popular word “blockchain”.
In professional terms, blockchain is a new application model of computer technology such as distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm, etc.
In the original English version of the Bitcoin white paper [2], the word blockchain does not actually appear, but chain of blocks is used. In the earliest Chinese translation of the Bitcoin white paper [3], chain of blocks was translated into blockchain.
What does it mean in human terms? In layman's terms, blockchain is a decentralized distributed ledger database.
Decentralization means removing the original data center.
Here is an example of decentralization: Alibaba’s servers support Alibaba DailyDue to regular data operations, including the Double Eleven that just passed, we were able to smoothly carry out flash sales of goods at zero o'clock, largely due to the support of Alibaba servers.
All data generated by Alibaba’s daily activities are recorded on the server. So what will happen if Alibaba’s server encounters an accident? (For example, Alibaba's server was hit by a meteorite, causing the server to be damaged)
After the server is paralyzed, Alibaba's data will naturally be unable to be restored in time, which will result in Alibaba being unable to maintain daily operations in the short term. operations.
However, after adopting blockchain technology, a piece of data generated by Alibaba due to daily business will not only be recorded on Alibaba’s servers, but also on various servers around the world such as the Internet and Google. In this way, even if Alibaba's servers encounter an accident, it will still not affect Alibaba's operation. The data generated by Alibaba's daily activities will still be recorded on various servers around the world. This is the advantage and benefit brought by blockchain technology.
In other words, Ali's data was only recorded in Ali's server, and Ali's server was the center. Now every server in the world is synchronously recording the business that Ali has done, and Ali's server is the center. It is no longer the only center, this step achieves decentralization. The behavior of servers around the world recording Alibaba data simultaneously is called distributed accounting.
Now that we know what blockchain means, what kind of boundaries can blockchain bring to our lives? What fields may blockchain be used in in the future?
1. Blockchain technology is applied in the medical and health field. For example, Xiao Zhang’s family has a history of hereditary red-green color blindness. Xiao Zhang once went to hospital A and had his red-green color blindness checked. Now Xiao Zhang is in city B and went to hospital B. Now hospital B can directly treat his red-green color blindness in his family. Xiao Zhang’s previous medical treatment status was found in the database, so Hospital B no longer needs to conduct repeated examinations on Xiao Zhang. This greatly saves medical resources for the hospital and saves medical expenses for repeated examinations for Xiao Zhang.
2. Blockchain technology is applied in the field of food safety. Nowadays, everyone is paying attention to food safety, and blockchain technology is applied to the field of food safety to carry out food traceability. First, we can label each vegetable and fruit with its own label, and then record the growth, maturity, pests and diseases of the vegetables and fruits in this label. The data in this tag can be simultaneously recorded in various data centers around the world through blockchain technology.
On the one hand, when people buy vegetables, they can directly check the growth status of the vegetables. On the other hand, when our country imports and exports vegetables, we can directly check the status of the imported and exported products. No more quarantine required.
⑸ Alibaba and Tencent fell out of the top ten, while Netcenter bucked the trend and entered the top four
p>
After the rush in 2018, blockchain patent applications have cooled down somewhat in the first half of 2019.
The interlink pulse query on the innojoy patent platform showed that the number of blockchain patent applications in China in the first half of 2019 was 909, which was only 16.2% of the 5,606 applications in the whole of last year.
It is worth noting that although Alibaba still occupies the first position in the total number of blockchain patents, it has ranked outside the 10th place in terms of new blockchain patent applications in the first half of 2019. Xunlei Group’s Netcenter Technology jumped into fourth place.
Patent indicators have multiple meanings for blockchain companies, such as investment in R&D, quality of talents, emphasis on innovation, etc. From this, you can understand the other side of blockchain development.
Industry technology investment is cooling down?
Regardless of China or foreign countries, the number of blockchain-related patent applications fell off a cliff in the first half of 2019.
Interchain Pulse searched for the keyword "blockchain" through the patent query system innojoy. Half of 2019 has passed, and the number of blockchain patent applications is only 909, which is 16.2% of last year. It can be expected , this year it will be difficult to reach the number in 2018.
The situation in other global markets is not optimistic either. Searching for "blockchain", there were only 158 patent applications in the first half of this year, accounting for only 7% of last year's total.
This decline is caused, on the one hand, because the development of blockchain technology may enter a plateau period, and the patent layout in the blockchain field has entered the final stage, and all patents in this application have been applied for. , naturally reducing investment; on the other hand, the effectiveness of blockchain implementation is insufficient and no short-term effects can be seen. Enterprises that use KPIs as assessment targets naturally reduce investment in blockchain; finally, it may be due to market reasons. The price collapse of crypto assets in half a year has affected the financing, production and other activities of block companies, which in turn has affected patent applications.
Where have Alibaba and Tencent gone?
The most surprising thing is that Alibaba was not so "progressive" in terms of blockchain patents in 2019. He won the "championship" for two consecutive years in 2017 and 2018, but he was missing from the top ten this year.
According to data obtained by interlink pulse query innojoy, Alibaba Group applied for 12 patents in the first half of 2019, ranking only 12th.
In addition, Tencent, another major Internet company, has also significantly slowed down the pace of blockchain research and development. There were only 7 related patent applications in the first half of the year, ranking 22nd.
In the first half of the year, China Unicom had the largest number of applications, with 50 applications. Ping An Technology, Complex Beauty, Wangxin Technology, and Network ranked 2-5 with 27, 25, 23, and 20 applications respectively.
Similar to the previous two years, there are two native blockchain companies in the top ten - Complex Beauty and Qulian Technology.
The evolution of China’s top ten blockchain patents
Native blockchain companies initially occupied a dominant position in related patents.
In 2015, China’s blockchain patent applications began to take off, with a total of 30 applications. The earliest batch of native blockchain companies have become the main force in blockchain patent applications. Bubi Blockchain, established in 2015, has applied for 8 related patents.
In 2016, the world continues to be dominated by native blockchain companies. In addition to Bubi Blockchain, there are also Hangzhou Yunxiang Blockchain, Hangzhou Complex Beauty, Beijing Tiande Technology, and Beijing Zhongxiang Bit Technology. Batch blockchain patent applications. The number of blockchain patent applications jumped to 470 that year.
It is worth noting that in 2016, Internet and financial technology companies joined the research on blockchain. The patent applications of Alibaba (7 cases) and China UnionPay (8 cases) showed that they are in the region. Blockchain business layout.
In 2017, more companies and organizations joined in blockchain research, and the number of patent applications that year was 1,478, more than three times that of 2016. In that year, Alibaba’s number of blockchain patent applications exploded (57), becoming the number one blockchain patent application.
It can be seen from the patent list that year that a group of traditional large companies poured into blockchain research, including Tencent, China Merchants Bank, China Unicom, Inspur Technology, Dianrong, etc., which all applied for more than 10 patents that year. More than 100 blockchain patents. However, native blockchain companies such as Zhonglian, VeChain, Ouluian, Qulian, etc. all ranked in the top ten in terms of patent applications that year.
In 2018, the number of blockchain patent applications was as high as 5,606. Traditional technology companies are accelerating their deployment in the blockchain field. Ping An Technology, Internet, Tencent, ZhongAn and Xunlei Group's Netcenter Technology entered the top ten in terms of patent applications that year, squeezing out native blockchain companies. Among the top ten, there are only two native blockchain companies, Complex America and Zhonglian.
Traditional technology companies and financial companies have advantages in technology, talent, and market, and most of them are trying to seize the market for blockchain patents.
The three poles of blockchain
As of the end of the first half of 2019, the number of blockchain applications in China exceeded 8,440. Alibaba still tops the list with 257 items. Complex Beauty and Zhonglian Technology are two native blockchain companies.
Interchain Pulse selected the top 30 companies with the highest number of blockchain patent applications and further subdivided them into Internet companies, financial technology companies, and blockchain companies according to their fields.Chain companies, communication companies, Internet of Things companies, universities and computer companies.
Currently there is a situation of "three parts of the world". The top 30 companies have applied for a total of 2,431 blockchain patents. Among them, Internet companies applied for 722 patents, accounting for 29.66%, including Alibaba, Internet, Tencent, Netcenter Technology, etc.; followed by blockchain companies, applied for 547 patents, accounting for 22.5%, including Complex Beauty , Zhonglian, Yunxiang, Ouluan, etc.; fintech applied for 541 applications, accounting for 22.2%, including Ping An Technology, Dianrong.com, Taikang Life, WeBank, etc.
The regional distribution of the top 30 blockchain patents also shows a trend of one-third of the world. Companies registered in Beijing applied for 845 patents, accounting for 34.7%, including China Unicom, China Network, Zhonglian, Qihoo, etc.; companies registered in Shenzhen applied for 830 patents, accounting for 34.1%, including Ping An Group, Tencent, Wangxin Technology, Launch Technology, etc.; there were 510 applications from companies registered in Hangzhou, accounting for 21%, including Alibaba, Complex Beauty, Yunxiang, Miyuan, etc. The performance of blockchain company clusters such as Guangzhou and Shanghai is not outstanding.
⑹ Are the three e-commerce giants ABT deploying blockchain?
There is no doubt that the three e-commerce giants will not Don’t miss any business opportunity. Blockchain is now being hyped in full swing, and the business opportunities are unlimited. Alibaba, Internet, and JD.com will naturally lay out the layout. Recommended about Dilian.com, this platform has a lot of industry information every day, which are the masterpieces of big guys.
⑺ Ant Group has released another blockbuster blockchain application. Can it create another "Alipay"
Prior to this, Alibaba has also repeatedly predicted that it will release a "subversive" application today. product". So, what pain points can Trusple solve? What are the application prospects? What difficulties and obstacles does the promotion of Trusple currently face?
Another “Alipay”
“Same as Alipay’s original intention of launching secured transactions, Trusple also aims to solve the problem of transaction trust. The difference is that since blockchain technology is solving With outstanding features in trust in complex processes, Trusple better meets the needs of solving trust in international trade." said Jiang Guofei, Vice President of Ant Group and President of the Intelligent Technology Business Group.
Specifically, on the Trusple platform, when a buyer and seller generate a trade order, it is automatically uploaded to the chain and begins to circulate. The bank will automatically pay based on the payment terms agreed upon in the order, avoiding the traditional model. Sellers need to urge buyers to transfer money offline, and at the same time, they can also prevent the frequent malicious delay in payment time. Buyers can also obtain financial services such as account terms based on real orders on the chain, which greatly improves capital utilization and procurement efficiency.
For buyers and sellers, in TruspleEvery successful transaction on the Internet is a precipitation of "on-chain credit". When a company has financing needs, financial institutions can submit a verification request to the Trusple platform to determine the authenticity of the company's trade. In this way, on the one hand, it reduces the financial service risks of banks and other financial institutions, and at the same time, it also revitalizes the survival and operating capabilities of small and medium-sized enterprises.
It is understood that five banks, including BNP Paribas, Citibank, DBS Bank, Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered Bank, have become Trusple’s first partners.
How complex is traditional trade finance business? The following is the bank's letter of credit business flow chart:
As can be seen from the above, the traditional international trade financing model is not only complex in process, but also requires high service fees from banks. If there is a blockchain trade settlement platform and a trade settlement contract is developed, the exporter directly places the advance payment in the smart contract. When the exporter's goods arrive at the destination, the system verifies that the documents are qualified and then triggers the smart contract to release the money to the exporter. Not only is the process simple and the service fee is low, but more importantly, it can reduce the capital occupation cycle and improve capital efficiency.
"This is the case with Trusple currently launched by Ant Group, and Ant Chain also supports smart contracts." Li Lianxuan said.
To sum up, the difference between traditional cross-border trade and Trusple is centralization and decentralization. In the traditional trade model, banks serve as the center, providing transaction credit or financing facilities to buyers and sellers to ensure the smooth progress of transactions. The "credit" in this is the bank's third-party credit. As for the trust model of blockchain, its "credit" comes from the blockchain itself and does not require a third-party intermediary.
Facing two major obstacles
The launch of Trusple also fulfilled a long-cherished wish of Ali for 19 years.
As early as 2001, Alibaba B2B Company tried to use a model similar to an intermediary guarantee to solve the problem of mutual distrust between buyers and sellers in foreign trade transactions, but was unable to do so due to technical constraints at the time. Two years later, the emergence of Alipay solved the trust problem among C2C business users. However, because transactions between businesses are much more complex than between individuals, and payment methods and logistics methods are also very different, the plan 19 years ago has been shelved to this day. Until the emergence of blockchain provides new solutions. For this reason, Alibaba calls the launch of Trusple a major launch comparable to the birth of Alipay.
It is worth noting that although Trusple has similar functions to Alipay, both are designed to solve the trust problem between different subjects, but the solution ideas are completely opposite. Trusple aims to eliminate middle links and disintermediate, while Alipay is the largest intermediary with 1 billion users. Trusple only targets B-side users in cross-border trade, so it seems to be fine with Alipay for now. So if there are similar products used in domestic C2C e-commerce stores in the future,King means that Alipay will be revolutionized.
Alibaba’s Blockchain Layout
Blockchain is based on the characteristics of decentralization, openness and transparency, information traceability, anti-tampering, and automatic execution of smart contracts. It is a natural solution to trust issues. weapon. As The Economist said: Blockchain will become a “trust machine.” Therefore, Jack Ma said that Alibaba without blockchain would "die".
Jack Ma’s words are not alarmist. Alipay, which started as an e-commerce company, has played a key role in solving the trust issue between consumers and merchants in online transactions. It can be said that without Alipay, Alibaba would not have the e-commerce empire it has today. “Over the past decade or so, we have continued to promote the construction of trust mechanisms through technology and innovation,” Ant Group said in its IPO prospectus.
To this end, as early as 2015, Alibaba established a blockchain team and began to invest in blockchain research and development. In October 2017, Ant Financial (the predecessor of Ant Group) released the "BASIC Strategy" (blockchain, artificial intelligence, security, Internet of Things, cloud computing). In July this year, just before Ant Group applied for listing on the Science and Technology Innovation Board, Ant Blockchain was officially upgraded to "Ant Chain". Jack Ma personally named Ant Chain, which shows its status in the Alibaba ecosystem.
Today, Alibaba has implemented more than 50 blockchain application scenarios. Ant Chain is technically able to support 1 billion account sizes and can support 1 billion daily transactions, achieving 10 transactions per second. Wanbi cross-chain information processing capabilities (PPS).
In April this year, Ant’s “Open Alliance Chain” was officially launched, fully opening up its blockchain technology and application capabilities to small and medium-sized enterprises. Subsequently, the implementation of related blockchain applications further accelerated. In July, the Ant Chain all-in-one machine was released, which can save more than 90% of blockchain deployment time for government and enterprise developers; on September 18, it was opened to the public including data security computing hardware, The privacy and security "three-piece set" of 3D contract security services and data privacy computing services; Trusple is released today.
In terms of research and development, Alibaba’s blockchain patent applications have ranked first in the world for four consecutive years, and its self-developed cross-chain technology has also been recognized as an international standard.
According to the website of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, Ant Group’s Science and Technology Innovation Board IPO has entered the “submission for registration” stage. "After listing, the most important thing for Ant Group is to invest in technology. In the future, it will focus on investing in the five major technical fields of artificial intelligence, risk management, security, blockchain, computing and technical infrastructure." Ant Group CEO Hu Xiaoming said.
⑻ Does blockchain have development prospects in the future?
A series of large companies such as Tencent and Alibaba are all trying to share and seize the blockchain cake. Do you think it has development prospects? Of course there is! Below are the top ten predictions of the China Academy of Information and Communications Technology on the global blockchain. I hope it will be helpful to you! !
p>
The differences can be seen from the current market media information. Blockchain information has occupied the territory of major media. It is hard to overstate whether it is in the center of the storm. The appropriate metaphor is in the center of the storm.
Why does the blockchain become so popular all of a sudden? Let’s talk about the currency circle. For example, a mainstream currency actually appeared a few years ago but because the individual value direction is not recognized by people, it is not It is worth entering the public eye. After several years of skyrocketing, it seems that some potential human nature has suddenly been activated. It is similar to buying a house. Everyone cannot understand it. It is tempting, explodes, and then activates greedy human nature. Then the information exploded all at once. Seeking knowledge is what everyone wants to know about how coins are produced and how coins are created. So this is how the term blockchain was discovered.
Back to the topic, there is a difference between the currency circle and the blockchain. The currency is just an extension of the blockchain, and the blockchain is the underlying development structure of the currency. Blockchain uses code architecture to build a data distribution architecture similar to a spider web. The information in each link is a storage node, which is different from the previous centralized information storage centers. If you want to modify one of the links, other storage information nodes do not allow it, and you cannot modify the underlying information. This kind of storage center Optimized information distribution is theoretically safer and has better information flow. Just like a house, the framework determines the layout of the house and the comfort of lighting. The principle of building the code architecture is also critical. The specific architecture of the blockchain There is currently not much reference information to what extent the utilization value can be achieved, but large companies have begun to make plans. Judging from the current popularity of the currency circle, the financial attribute field of blockchain is more attractive than other fields. .
The development prospects of the future blockchain are certain. If you want to understand the prospects of the blockchain field, you still need to have a deeper understanding of what the big guys in the current blockchain field are doing. For example, a certain investment giant What are V people doing using blockchain? The direction they are taking has set the benchmark for the development of this field to a certain extent.
I still advise that there are risks in certain coins, so do it and cherish it.
The prospects are great
Blockchain is known as the next generation of disruptive core technology, and some scholars believe it will redefine the world. Our government also supports blockchain technology. All its codes are transparent and each personal information is stored on a separate chain. Compared with the current leakage of personal information, the emergence of blockchain will effectively solve this problem. Question, secondly, there are many other applications of blockchain, private messages that need to be understood!
The current public misunderstanding about blockchain is mainly due to the state’s jurisdiction over digital currencies. The emergence of digital currencies has greatly threatened legal tender. The state does not support this kind of uncontrollable currency. of! However, if digital currency can be effectively popularized in the future, this decentralized currency will be even better than legal currency in terms of security and cost.
Based on the above personal opinions, if you are interested in blockchain and digital currency, please feel free to discuss in private!
Judging from the current situation, it is relatively simple for major Internet companies to test blockchain application functions and is still in its infancy. The real potential application space of blockchain (finance, government affairs, medical care, etc.) is still huge, and it will take time to slowly explore it. In the short term, it does not yet have the conditions for large-scale implementation. However, recently, major Internet companies have frequently deployed blockchain technology, which has played a positive role in cultivating and promoting blockchain in my country's market. Especially in the A-share market, it has attracted strong attention from investors. China Merchants Securities believes that through the conduct of major Internet companies, the audience of blockchain will gradually expand from niche players to the general public.
The current trend is good.
1. Distributed ledgers improve social efficiency.
2. Certain industries can reduce the need for intermediaries.
3. The development of storage and computing performance may bring more industry opportunities.
Bitcoin can solve these problems, and Bitcoin is BSV.
To be honest, the prospects are very good! If you want to talk about digital currencies like Bitcoin, I think the prospects are not great now. Firstly, because mining is now very difficult and it is basically difficult for individual users to mine it, but because the volatility is too high and the water level is too high. Deep down, investment is basically about losing more and making less. The money that can be made is miners and exchanges.
But blockchain is different. Blockchain is a technical and knowledge-based thing. It can be used in many aspects, such as shopping transactions, transportation and logistics, finance, insurance and many other aspects. It can be applied. Not many banks are now cooperating with Internet companies to develop blockchain.
Therefore, blockchain should have good application prospects in the future, mainly because the technology itself has many advantages and has a wide range of applications.
Blockchain definitely has development scenarios! Blockchain technology can be applied in many fields, including finance, insurance, and shopping transactions. And due to the advantages of the blockchain itself, decentralization, asymmetric encryption, etc. are a good way to solve the current trust problems in people's production and life. The future prospects of digital currency may not be great, but I think blockchain has huge room for development.
Qianzhan believes that China’s blockchain market will maintain rapid growth in 2021-2The compound annual growth rate of the market size in 2026 will reach 73%, and the market size in 2026 will reach US$16.368 billion. In the next 20 years, the market size of China's blockchain industry is expected to reach the trillion level.
China’s blockchain industry market is developing rapidly
From 2017 to 2020, large IT Internet companies have deployed blockchain, start-ups have entered a blowout mode, and the industry scale has continued to expand. According to IDC According to the data, China's blockchain industry has experienced changes from a market size of US$85 million in 2017 to an industry scale of US$561 million in 2020.
In terms of the number of enterprises, in 2020H1, my country provided blockchain professional technical support, products, solutions and other services, and the number of new blockchain enterprises with input or output reached 303, a year-on-year increase of 274.07 %.
China’s blockchain patents account for a large proportion of the world, and the industrial aggregation effect is beginning to show.
From the perspective of the global competition landscape, my country’s competitive advantages in the blockchain industry are relatively obvious. Judging from the number of patents, according to data from the "Global Enterprise Blockchain Invention Patent Ranking in the First Half of 2020" released by IPRdaily, the world's authoritative third-party intellectual property agency, and the incoPat Innovation Index Research Center, the TOP 100 companies mainly come from 14 countries and regions. , China accounts for 46%, followed by the United States accounting for 25%.
As an important carrier for the development of blockchain industrial clusters, local governments are accelerating the construction of blockchain industrial parks. Judging from the location distribution of industrial parks, there are a large number of blockchain industrial parks in cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Guangzhou, Chongqing, Qingdao, and Changsha, forming a Bohai Rim agglomeration effect dominated by Beijing and Shandong, with Zhejiang and Shanghai , the agglomeration effect of the Yangtze River Delta dominated by Jiangsu, the agglomeration effect of the Pearl River Delta dominated by Guangdong, and the agglomeration effect of Hunan, Guizhou and Chongqing dominated by Chongqing and Hunan. In the future, China's blockchain industry is expected to accelerate development relying on the aggregation effect.
The blockchain financial field is the most widely used
my country's blockchain industry applications are mainly distributed in finance, supply chain, traceability and hardware, accounting for nearly 65%. According to the "Blockchain Blue Book: China Blockchain Development Report (2019)", there are nearly 28,000 blockchain companies in the country. Among them, about 1,000 blockchain companies have been put into production, accounting for only 3.6%. They are mainly concentrated in developed eastern regions such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, and Zhejiang.
The market capacity of the blockchain industry is expected to reach trillions in the future
Blockchain technology is a key direction for China’s new generation of independent innovation breakthroughs in information technology, and contains huge space for innovation. In the fields of chips, big data, cloud computing and other fields, innovation activities are becoming increasingly active, and innovation elements are constantly accumulating.

At present, the country also strongly supports the development of blockchain Technology is expected to be applied in various fields, so now some large companies, such as Tencent, Alibaba, NetEase, and the Internet are involved. It is still in the development stage, and we can look forward to the future
Blockchain Economy It cannot be simply understood as various virtual currencies. The essence of blockchain is to solve the problem of authenticity, confidentiality and non-tampering of information. (Everyone participating is a recorder of information, and everyone is just a part of the entire information chain. Ring) It more effectively solves the problems of privacy and integrity, so its application scenarios and prospects are broad and promising. (But it should not become a paradise for scammers)
⑼ How does Jack Ma respond to blockchain technology
Jack Ma is an English major and knows nothing about technology. However, Jack Ma has always attached great importance to technology. For example, Alibaba invested 100 billion in the first phase to establish Damo Academy, which mainly does underlying technology research and development.
Jack Ma has also expressed his position many times on the blockchain technology, which is very popular in 2018. At the Second World Intelligence Conference held today, Jack Ma talked about Bitcoin and blockchain again.
Among Internet tycoons, it is not just Jack Ma who is not optimistic about Bitcoin. Ma Huateng has also expressed similar views to Jack Ma. He even believes that digital currency is a very dangerous thing:< /p>
“Blockchain technology is good, but how to use it well is another aspect. If you do a digital currency ICO, I think there are still a lot of risks. It’s not that the technology is immature. If everyone can use it Blockchain technology can issue digital coins at will, which will cause a lot of regulatory issues. Although digital currencies are very hot now, we are not involved in it. We do not consider issuing coins because I think it is a very risky thing."
Robin Li has never opposed Bitcoin, but he also agrees with the value of blockchain technology:
“Blockchain technology is very revolutionary, but it is still in its early stages. stage. In the traditional Internet, virtual things are made a, and there is no newIt will increase costs, but with the arrival of blockchain, virtual items can truly become unique. This kind of Internet will be very different from the previous Internet. ”
Obviously, BAT bosses all attach great importance to blockchain technology, but are not very interested in Bitcoin. In my opinion, the current digital currency hype does feel a bit like "beating the drum and spreading flowers". It may be valuable or even very valuable in the eyes of speculators, but it may be worthless in the eyes of people who don't hold Bitcoin.
"Luo Chao Channel" suggests that readers can just hold a little bit for fun. Yes, but spending huge amounts of money to speculate is no different from gambling.
BAT is currently deploying on the blockchain, but it does not participate in coin issuance, ICO, or digital currency trading platforms.
In 2015, Internet Finance established a blockchain technology team. In 2016, it invested in Circle, an American blockchain technology company. Last year, Internet blockchain technology began to be implemented on a large scale, and Internet Finance became a major user.
The Alibaba department's focus on blockchain is Ant Financial. Zeng Ming, chief strategy officer of Alibaba, once revealed that Ant began to deploy blockchain in 2015. Different from the network's centralized application of blockchain to finance, it pursues application What surprised the outside world was that the first blockchain application scenario for Ant was not finance, but various life scenarios.
As early as 2015, Tencent had established a blockchain team, but It puts research and development first and conducts technical exploration. Through alliance chain technology, it implements blockchain into projects such as micro-gold, supply chain finance, electronic certificate deposits, and public welfare tracing. They are basically related to finance, and the outside world also knows little about it. Tencent It has also built a blockchain infrastructure platform called Blockchain as a Service (BAAS platform) for blockchain developers to use. Tencent is a "latecomer" in many AI technologies and may be the first to do so. Technical layout, but application implementation will be relatively cautious.
