Stone Age

In 1946, the birth of ENIAC ( the 1st generation computer)

Agriculture Age

In 1991, the birth of the first web site (Internet).

Industrial Age

Cloud computing framework taking over of the client/server framework.

Bronze/Iron Age

Industrialisation Manual labour replace by Machine productionThe development of the modern computers and internet is a proven fact.

Centralization of authority Key characteristic of feudalism The essence of cloud computing is to provide a single platform to consolidate the hardware, and software resources administered by different groups in different regions.

Why cloud computing belongs to the Feudal Industrial Age

Althoughcloud computing has brought down the cost of operation efficiently butCentralisation "has its shortcomings too

Data security.Disconnection between cloud computing and terminal server.Challenges to data accountability & trust mechanism. sourcehttp://www.wtoutiao.com/p/156D8bB.html

In October 2015, the 1st Global Blockchain Summit was held in Shanghai. Geeks, entrepreneurs, academic experts, investors, corporate executives, and regulatory policy makers gathered and discussed the business applications and opportunities of blockchain technology in industry, such as Payment, Internet of Things, securities trading, digital assets management. Over 200 guests from the financial industry, including banking, payments, securities and commodities attended the summit.sourcehttp://www.8btc.com/wanxiang-blockchain-labs-20151015

In a 20th January release, The Peoples Bank of China (PBoC) said that it is moving toward the launch of its own cryptocurrency. The bank wants to use its control over the currency to reduce money laundering, tax evasion and other criminal acts. Blockchain will form the backbone of its cryptocurrency.sourcehttp://www.wtoutiao.com/p/156D8bB.html

An Intro to Blockchain

BlockchainDecentralised Database- First used in Bitcoin

Encrypted transactionStep 1Block

Every online transaction is represented in a blockStep 2Each block record, is distributed to all the participants

Step 3Participants validate the block - transaction record

Step 4Step 5The block is added to the block chain- the transaction is recordedStep 6Transaction completed

Encrypted transaction

BlockchainPublic chainsPrivate chainsConsortium ChainsFully Private ChainsE.g.R3 CEVE.g.BitcoinTypes of BlockchainFeatures of BlockchainDecentralisedData is replicated on all the nodes in a P2P network, and each nodes copy of the data is identical to every other nodes copyConsensus mechanismAll users in the network can come to collectively agree on the validity of the data recordedIrreversibility and crypto securityOne would need to command at least 51% of the computing power of all mining nodes to take control of the block chain -to overturn the consensus blockchain.OpennessData is open to all on the P2P networkAnonymityIndividual parties are never identified. Instead, security keys (public and private key pairs) are required to gain access to transaction output.MultiplatformEvery blockchain node has the same calculation and data structure. Any platform will be able to compute the node.sourcehttp://www.8btc.com/what-is-blockchain; http:// community.qingcloud.com; https://blog.ethereum.org

The decentralised system remove the need for middleman, which ensure high utilization of the fund.Advantages

P2P lending

MoneyCircles is a mobile-decentralised P2P Savings & Loans marketplace built on private blockchain technology.

Through smart contract, MoneyCircles let people with a common bond, save & borrow from each other -a kind of credit union in the cloud, but without the usual costs and restrictions. Core Advantage*No black box mechanism or money pool issues. *Transaction flows are open and transparent. *All users can monitor where the funds are transferred to and how the fund will be used.

Millions of savers have money trapped in low interest savings accounts with institutions who want to lend, but may not be profitable for these institutions. Savers desire better rates and want their money put to better use. MoneyCircles.com aims to reconcile these two parts of the market, by making saving and lending more socially based, to better deploy deposits which will help significant parts of the society.

Making the worlds systems honestHonesty is subversive - Paul Snow

In todays global economy trust is in rare supplyThis lack of trust requires the devotion of a tremendous amount of resources to audit and verify records. Thus reducing global efficiency, return on investment, and prosperity. Incidents such as the 2010 United States foreclosure crisis demonstrate that, the current processes are terribly inaccurate, efficient and prone to failure. Factom removes the need for blind trust by providing precise, verifiable, and immutable audit trail.Honesty is subversive - Paul Snow

Factoms blockchain technology can be adapted to almost any organization.Businesses and governments can use Factom to simplify records management, record business processes, and address security and compliance issuespower a remarkable range of applications, e.g. audit systems, medical records, supply chain management, voting systems, property titles, legal applications, and financial systems.

Factom maintains a permanent, time-stamped record of your data in the blockchain. Reduce the cost and complexity of conducting audits, managing records, and complying with government regulationsApplication UsagesFactom Proof- Network valuesourcehttp://factom.org/

Factom Use Case 1 Saving BoA $17 Billion

Factom could utilize the bitcoin blockchain to keep Bank of Americas records permanently engrained in the distributed public ledger. The entries are then filed into directory blocks and secured to the bitcoin blockchain every ten minutes. They can then be audited in real time and verified instantly, allowing everyone to double check the work completed and catch mistakes if they arise before they become a problem.BackgroundMultiple mortgage companies, were fined billions of dollars due to a mishandling of mortage records. One of these companies was Bank of America who fell victim to a $17 billion fine, also known as the largest fine in history.Solution

Factom stores data for its clients using encryptions that are called hashes in blockchain in a decentralised system. Because the data is encoded, no one except the user who created the encryption can decipher it.Blockchain technologies could prevent the disastrous Sony hack ,and shift big companies away from central databases.Factom Use Case 2 - Protecting Sony Pictures with Blockchain Technology

BackgroundSolutionOn November 24, 2014, a hacker group which leaked out confidential data from the film studio Sony Pictures Entertainment. The data included personal information about employees and their families, e-mails, salaries, copies of then-unreleased Sony films.

Factom can digitized landownership documents and store them in a decentralized blockchain. Any land transactions and transfers can be track . Furthermore unauthorized or illegal changes can be detected and corrected.

Factom Use Case 3: Unlocking $9 Trillion in Land ValueBackgroundSolutionIn many developing countries, land owners do not have proof of rights to landownership Hernando De Soto :main problem of development is not that the poor in the third world lack capital, but that many lack the legal title to assets they already hold. Giving them legal title will unleash this dead capital so that it can be used as collateral for loans to fund businesses or expand homes.

Global PerspectivesThe potential of decentralised ledgers and block chains

Recent Developments Collaboration Of Governments With Industry To Explore Strategic Potential Of Block ChainsImplementation of block chains is driven by:The ability of block chain to provide a basis for cryptographic trust in a similar way to PKIBlock chains could leverage PKIs deployed scale and governancePKIs could leverage block chains payment and ledger functions

Permissioned ledgers contain a data field of unlimited sizeInformation about a transaction, including the contract, licence or copyright, could be included, providing a strong additional factor for trust.Enables smart contracts, offering efficiency and non-repudiation.

Smartphones are becoming the de facto trusted user device The latest smart phones include new security features such as:Trusted Platform Module secures digital certificates and cryptographic keys for authentication, encryption and signingConsumers can sign transactions (eg using a block chain) and payments (eg using a trusted Bitcoin) using smartphones.Recent developments Collaboration of Governments with Industry to Explore Strategic Potential of Block Chains

Future Scape

AlthoughAt present Blockchain still have shortcomings.

Is blockchain really superior to current solutionsWhat are the benchmarks* Can blockchain really reduce resources cost , improve service quality or enhance users experience?Immutable public ledger, standardised contracts, accounting, and transactions may seems too idealistic .* Different nature of businesses ,and changing organisation needs will impede the establishment of a single standard.To succeed, blockchain applications need to create true value to the users. Issues on the consolidation and allocation of resources*How should research resources be allocated Can related or similar resources be consolidated to create synergiesWhat solutions ,and which industry domains should receive the most resource funding?source 20167 20160222

Application suitabilityConsolidation and allocation Of research resources.

Ensuring security and immutability of data may drive up cost.*To ensure the immutability of dataOne needs enough computing power to control more than 51% of the data copies to gain control of the blockchain) ,implies incurring huge storage and resource power cost.*Low storage efficiency1.Huge amount of copies. 2.Blockchain size cannot be reducedexpired and useless data will also be stored.).Rebooting of data is time consumingNew content X number of copiesand coupled with distance and bandwidth, will be time consumingAffect user experience, e.g. high volume trading , processing huge data base.Illegal activities e.g. money laundering, financing terrorism, fraud, and impersonation. * A decentralised framework may not meet regulatory requirements.* Early intervention and overregulation by regulators, may impede blockchain developments, and the potential benefits of blockchain may not realised.source 20167 20160222

What is happening and what will happen?

Unbundling and decentralisation of financial servicesSame data, same page, less errorsReal time settlement without need for financial intermediariesShaving off duplicative and redundant servicesSecurity boost

FINTECH

Banks Are Only The Beginning

Banks are only the beginningWhat is happening now? Unbundling of financial services: FINTECHEverybody has the same data ledger. This means less errors and less mismatch of dataTransactions are done within seconds. Because middlemen are cut out. Flatter structure and less errors means less redundant services Security is boosted.For example, the Bangladesh bank heist could have been avoided. SWIFT is error prone and time lag. Exploited by criminals. Can easily be avoided through the use of permissioned ledgers by registered banks. 57

Dont rise with internet , but trip by blockchain

Some internet companies may not pay much attention to ,or even disregard blockchain. If they miss this chance to utilise the blockchain development, the raise of blockchain may disrupt their technology roadmap.-Yao Yu DongDirector of China Central Bank- Institute of Finance

Regulators should keep up with financial innovations

MAS Ravi Menon If you start regulating every one of those, you stifle a lot of innovation, and they dont get a chance to grow, MAS will regulate fintech firms only when they pose risks. Support for FinTechPromote Greater inter-operability across data systems is a key priority. E.g. an all-in-one addressing system, that will enable e-payments using the payees mobile number, email address, social network account, or other proxies. Without the need to know the payees bank account number. MAS will therefore introduce a regulatory sandbox approach that aims to give FIs more confidence to experiment and launch their innovative products or services within controlled boundaries.

61

Dont Get Left Behind!

To end off, I would like to emphasize that blockchain and DLT is more than just technology.It is going to be a strategy and it is going to transform the way we conduct business in the future.62
