If Bitcoin is an influential sociological experiment, then the blockchain technology extracted from the core design of Bitcoin allows everyone to see the possibility of shaping a more efficient and secure future business network.
Since 2014, the blockchain technology behind Bitcoin has gradually attracted attention, and further triggered a wave of innovation in distributed ledger technology.
In fact, people have long realized that bookkeeping-related technologies are critical to the management (including ownership and circulation) of assets (both tangible and intangible); and decentralized or multi-centralized distributed ledger Technology is of great significance to the current open and multi-dimensional business model. The idea and structure of blockchain is a very feasible technology to realize this distributed ledger system.
Blockchain technology has now separated from the Bitcoin network itself, and has emerged in many fields such as finance, trade, credit reporting, Internet of Things, and sharing economy. Now, when people refer to "blockchain technology", they often have nothing to do with bitcoin unless they specifically say "bitcoin blockchain".
