While the media hype enthusiasm for the block chain, Bitcoin technology and distributed books began to subside, but the past year, major companies are still continuing the development and deployment of related technologies. Analysts emphasize once again block chain is one of the next year (2020) of the top ten technology trends , and this year the company will still maintain the focus on related technologies.
Many people have a misunderstanding of the block chain technology and distributed books: that is, " block chain and the books have been distributed is the past tense of the technology ." In fact, the development of block chain is still in its infancy , only a small part of the business successfully exploited it, and to achieve a mature operations.
Future, block chain technology and emerging technologies artificial intelligence, networking and other closely linked. The following is the development trend of 2020 technical researchers predicted.
First, financial services is still in the early stages of application
Block chain technology was first developed in the form of encrypted digital currency (Bitcoin) appears, so the financial industry is the earliest and most interesting block chain technology industry, followed by the financial industry began extensive innovation block chain technology and applications and breakthroughs. Related activities has moved beyond the concept of virtual currency, the block chain began to be used to build anti-fraud clearing and settlement systems, intelligent contracts, greatly accelerated the speed of digital transactions.
IBM said it has helped launch more successful block chain planning, forecasting, financial services institutions to block chain technology investment in 2020 will continue to increase. Analysts also predicted that in 2020 the bank may get more than $ 1 billion in value through the use of block chain technology.
Value chain technology blocks more than that. Block chain on the need to maintain security transactions and trading activities traceable industry sectors have undeniable value. Current projects include the source of agricultural and livestock tracking, and even diamonds and other precious stones can also be a source confirmed.
Two, Libra is still in progress
Facebook plans to release its own currency --Libra encryption in early 2020, although most of the details yet to be announced, but has caused some concern and worry. As of now, there are already a lot of money to encrypt the project, since the advent of 2009, Bitcoin has over 1000 encryption currency project started, but soon most projects have failed. Never has such a background and body mass Facebook company launched digital currency project - meaning that factors mean that the project may encryption currency far beyond all previous encrypted digital currency project.
But the project also has not been easy, by the end of 2019, Mastercard and Visa have all announced due to regulatory uncertainty caused withdraw from the project. This most commercial companies is fatal, but Facebook is still under immense pressure to continue to promote the project.
From a technical point of view, Facebook's Libra project with most digital currency Bitcoin and different. Libra is the center of the block chain network authorized by the association responsible for the operation, associated encryption currency issuer think Libra non-distributed, non-credible system. But once it is achieved, it may be the first to break the existing virtual currency based on the currency of the global monetary system.
Third, the block chain integration and the development of artificial intelligence
As the amount of data that requires a lot of decision-making of artificial intelligence, a problem encountered in the artificial intelligence into daily life are: artificial intelligence is very complex and difficult to understand . Some people think that block chain can provide solutions to solve this problem, because it can be tracked on the decision-making, ensure that a decision is based on the verified information and verifiable.
Block chain technology can increase the use of artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence can make the block chain more secure, while the block chain based tools easier to operate.
By incorporating these breakthrough technologies, companies can quickly and make predictions more accurately, reduce waste generation process produces, streamline the supply chain, the faster products and services and emerging markets to match. With more and more obvious the value of technical cooperation, 2020 will see an increase in this type of innovation, the first from a blend of cloud service provider platform block chain and artificial intelligence will also come out.
Fourth, the block chain to ensure the safety of Things
我们日常生活中使用的联网设备越多，就会产生更多的数据，同时攻击者也有更多的机会来劫持这些数据。随着工业的数字化转型，越来越多的工作涉及到机器之间的通信，因此以可靠、防篡改的方式存储和记录信息变得越来越重要。
区块链和其他形式的分布式账本就提供了当前几近完美的解决方案。每个交易信息都会永久保存，并且对所有参与方都是透明的——这对依赖不同供应商的机器、工具和软件的企业来说是一个必要因素。也就是说，如果出错，就能很简单地理解是通信中哪里出了问题，甚至可以发现恶意第三方引发的泄露等问题。
分析师研究表明，有75%的企业已经采用了融入区块链的IoT解决方案，或计划在2020年采用相关方案。
五、区块链立法
怀俄明州已经成为美国第一个通过法律框架明确允许区块链创新的州，法律框架中提供了保护潜在危险的监管监督。
自从第一个加密货币出现，人与人之间的价值的匿名和数字转移就实现了，监管者和中央银行很快就觉察到相关技术在在洗钱和其他恶意金融活动中的潜力。
由于这些考虑，数字货币并没有成为主流的使用方式，美国证券交易委员会（Securities and Exchange Commission，SEC）一直都在拒绝基于加密货币的公开交易金融工具的应用。
怀俄明州通过的法律并没有改变这一情况。但发布13部法律来为区块链和数字货币提供法律框架释放了一个信号——监管应当是技术创新的推动者而不应当成为拦路虎。2020年，研究人员预测其他州和全球其他国家的法律制定者都在关注怀俄明州，并可能成为其后继者。
