- R & D production
As the source of the application of block chain technology, there are mainly three forms in the field of R & D and production.
1, Mint: using block chain technology to solve some traditional problems this model is the current entrepreneurial mainstream in the block chain industry, generally common in some start-ups, their solutions often provide some tokens to support their development, so I for short for the sake of mint. For example, the cloud is trying to solve the cloud storage problem and issue the token SC; the bit shares offer a de centralization exchange and the issuing of the token BTS; Press one wants to try to reconstruct the content ecology and issue the token PRS. This mode, as the hot market of block chain investment this year, especially the ICO, has brought huge market value to start-ups. Maybe a block chain project has not yet been listed on specific products, and it has been valued at billions of dollars. For example, EOS, the current market value has already been $more than 400 million.
2, mining: to assist the mint team to produce tokens, if minting is to develop a new type of token, then mining is one of the specific means of production. But not all tokens support mining. Only the POW (working proof) mechanism is used to support the currency. The most famous one is bitcoin. Mining efficiency is closely related to calculation power, and now it is basically large-scale mining, which is difficult for ordinary people to participate in. Besides, mining is not the only way to generate token money, and the risk of investment is relatively large.
- Outsourcing: providing technical solutions in the field of research and development, and another model is to provide block chain solutions for some teams with no block chain technical capabilities.
Around this emerging technology, there must be more and more similar projects. As for whether or not we should rely on others, we need to keep some more eyes. Summary: as a whole, in the field of R & D and production, it is more suitable for organizations to enter, and personal Nuggets space is limited, so here is a brief overview.
Two. Financial circulation
No matter which token is exported, it always needs to circulate, so there are many demands in the financial field. For an organization, two common practices are common:
1, trading websites need to buy and sell, and there will be demand for trading websites. Although the transaction fee is cheaper than the stock, the transaction fee is also sufficient when the transaction is frequent. After several years of development, there are quite a few trading websites on the market now, but if we look at the long-term development of the block chain industry, the current number is probably not enough. Most importantly, from the current Jimi experience, most trading websites are hard to satisfy. It's not a temporary downtime. It's a visit to Caton. Recharge inefficient, not to mention, in the mobile Internet era, many of which did not have APP...... The more places users feel uncomfortable, the more opportunities they will have. Then there are two forms of trading website, one for the traded currency, such as the bit age, the cloud net, the Chinese bitcoin, etc.; one is the ICO collection for new projects, such as the coin crowd, the ICOINFO, the ico365 and so on.
2, to do fund investment if the trading website is 2C, then the fund investment is 2B, the threshold is higher, there are two main forms: venture investment, investment in all kinds of block chain start-ups, the funds required by such funds are greater and more, of course, the return is the real equity. To participate in PRE-ICO is to participate in token raising before ICO. The advantage is that it can buy tokens at a lower price. If the project is good, the return is quite amazing. Compared with venture capital, this investment requires relatively little money.
For individuals, the threshold is much lower. There are mainly three ways:
1, ICO
You can understand that in the stock market, new shares can be held at a lower cost. When the market is good, the tokens can be gained several times. Even if there is no good market, the cost is relatively low, and it is a relatively safe way of investment.
- Stir fried money
Like buying and selling stocks in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, it is the most common way for most people to buy a token on a large exchange, which is usually divided into fry spot and fry futures.
- Move bricks
Unlike stocks, a token can be used on multiple platforms, including domestic and overseas. Because of the difference in the game situation of each exchange, the price of the same currency in the different exchanges is difficult to be consistent, which in fact leaves the space for the price difference arbitrage. Of course, as the number of brick owners is changed, the price gap will quickly be smoothed out. Besides, moving bricks also face many risks, such as exchange rate, handling fee, market fluctuation, and so on. Summary: compared to R & D and production, there are many retail investors in the financial field.
Three, peripheral support as a new industry, in addition to R & D and production and financial circulation, there are still many opportunities to make money around it.
- Tools
Because the block chain is closer to the money, everyone's attention is also very high. Around its daily use, there is a lot of tool needs. A few common cases: market enquiries: This is almost a daily thing for many investors, resulting in solutions in a variety of scenarios, such as the WeChat robot, the global index of the block chain in the small program, and the sosobtc in the APP. Security security: after all, it is true gold silver, security is also the focus of every investor, such as Google authentication, passport and so on, are the tools for safety.
2, media / Forum
In a new field, there is always information, communication and other needs, thus having the need of the media forum. For example, the public number in the field of media, the "vernacular block chain", which hatches out of a small circle, is a typical case. In less than 1 months, it has completed the target from 0 to 10000, and it is said to have stepped on the tuyere. Besides the media, we can do web sites, forums, audio, video and even live broadcast. As far as the current observation is concerned, there is no monopoly in the market and there is still much room for market. 3. Payment for content
Because the industry is too new, there are very few related content products. There are several things to do.
- as an emerging investment product, many investors have a little knowledge of the block chain, which has produced a lot of learning needs. At present, there are two common practices: the net lesson mode: popularize the block chain knowledge through a listening course, such as a few lessons of the old cat. Social mode: through small circle (now renamed knowledge planet) to carry out investment practice and communication, such as golden horse's small circle.
- Developer Training mentioned earlier that there is a way of making money in the research and development field, which is money making, and the technical talents needed for minting are urgently needed in the market. Therefore, there are many training courses for block chain technology under the Internet.
- industry research reports, if the first two categories are targeted at individuals, this report is aimed at some enterprises.
