After speaking, Yu Qiu opened the browser on his laptop and entered a web address.

Rebus looked at the content and said in surprise, "Are you playing this?"

Yu Qiu smiled and said, "Brother Lei, have you also studied this thing?"

Rebus nodded: "There has been a discussion in the circle recently. I really didn't expect it, you said last time that you weren't from a technical background, but you're actually paying attention to this. Are you showing me this?"

"It's even better if Brother Lei also knows this. Yu Qiu glanced at the latest price displayed on the screen, and couldn't help but sigh again, it was already more than $2 a piece.

Then he reined in his mind and said, "Then Brother Lei has studied the underlying technology of this thing?"

Rebus muttered: "The technology of blockchain is indeed interesting. But the computing power support it requires and the energy consumption that comes with it is a big problem. When I had a few friends and I discussed it privately, we thought that the technology might have a good future in the security space, but ...... Does it have anything to do with the project you talked about last time?"

Yu Qiu shook his head and said, "I don't see it that way. Brother Lei, you are making smart phones, you should know very well that the explosion of computing power will be exaggerated, and energy consumption is not unacceptable, at least compared with other industries. The point is that the advantages of this technology are difficult to replace for the increasingly large Internet world. I don't think this coin is really as good as I imagined, but the underlying technology of this thing is very important to the virtual world. ”

Rebus frowned and thought for a moment, then said, "Trust and security issues?"

"Yes. Trust and security issues on the Internet are built on traditional protocols. And I think that blockchain technology has the potential to become the core protocol of the new generation of Internet. Because based on this technology, the problem of trust and security can be effectively solved. Because it is a trusted and secure solution for the Internet, it is able to allow the Internet to carry something new in addition to information. ”

Rebus was puzzled.

What he was puzzled about, in addition to Yu Qiu's thoughts about carrying new things, there was also confusion about why Yu Qiu studied this thing so much.

Didn't Yu Qiu study journalism and communication?

How did he know that Yu Qiu had made up for it from Fei Ye. It's not a master, because of the vision nine years in advance. After a few years, everyone knows about the analysis and popularization of science about this thing, but only those who want to understand this thing can basically grasp its essential meaning.

Except for the technical principle, the details may not be understood.

So Yu Qiu is now a bit of a mentor and prophet: "Using the method of distributed accounting, based on algorithms, then the application built with this technology can be traced back to every link and cannot be tampered with, which is not only in the field of security, but also has great application prospects." In fact, this logic would provide a value anchor for this technology. Because bookkeeping itself is not only the consumption of computing power and energy, it is also a valuable act in itself. So...... If the entire Internet uses this technology to reconstruct the next-generation protocol, then all behaviors on the Internet will have real value!"

He Fang was confused, what is it?

He understood every word Yu Qiu said, but he was confused when he connected it.

What is the account, what is the anchor?

But Rebus was different, he was thinking along with Yu Qiu's explanation.

Fei Ye observed Rebus's reaction.

In fact, the blockchain technology itself has not caused too many people to think, and people's attention has been attracted to the coins produced in this way.

Because it actually consumes the power of the real world, it is based on computing power and algorithms to maintain security and stability, and the total amount is clearly limited and scarce, and it does have some characteristics as a currency.

As long as the internet exists, it really has value.

The greater the promise of the Internet, the greater its value.

What's more, it has a lot of other advantages?

Because of this, it is exceptionally sensitive. As a thing born by the people, it is too uncontrollable and may have a relatively large impact on the economic and social order.

However, once it is controlled by various countries, it loses some of its core characteristics and significance.

In this case, people have finally discovered that its underlying technology, that is, blockchain, is where the greater value of this thing lies.

The openness and possibilities of this technology are even more compelling.

As a result, countries have turned to encourage, support, and actively promote the research of blockchain technology. Research in this area is endless, and although the specific successful application is good, its prospects are gradually being evaluated.

It is very vast, and it can be described as a reconstruction of the current Internet.

Rebus's eyes suddenly widened, and he let out a shining light: "You mean, it may even replace the TCP/IP protocol?"

Yu Qiu nodded with certainty: "I think it's possible! The first generation of the Internet is an analog communication network. The digital communication network based on the TCP/IP protocol has made the second generation of Internet information explode, but it is the middlemen who have grabbed the most value, and the producers of information have benefited very little. One of the problems that can't be solved is that it's hard to determine what information is created by whom. But this technology can solve this problem!"

"For example, as the owner of the talking cat Weibo, some of the content I post is very valuable. But did I benefit from others using my content? Did I benefit from the Weibo platform's use of my content to expand its influence and eventually monetize? This process is either the platform has set the rules, or I can only achieve it through real-world laws. ”

"But why is it so complicated? We're all talking about the virtual world, the value of all actions in a virtual world, there should be a set of underlying logic, not based on the mapping of old experiences in the real world. In the future, the virtual world will become more and more perfect, so everything that makes up this world should of course have value. Electricity, computing power, code, every ID, every behavior of each ID, are all things that enrich the virtual world. ”

Therefore, the next generation of the Internet will add the dimension of value. When more real devices are also connected to the Internet through sensors, it will eventually have to connect the value of human labor and thinking, and even the property value of real life, to build a world with more perfect rules. It won't just be the Internet of Information, it's also the Internet of Value!"

"Because the essence of blockchain technology is to use computer technology to achieve accurate, secure, and tamper-proof records. And the value of documenting this act is too great. If nothing else, every company requires employees to clock in for record, as a small dimension to measure the value of employees' work. Every company's finances are also for the record, to measure the value of each income and expenditure. ”

Yu Qiu said so much in one breath, he memorized it, and he didn't know how much he understood.

But Rebus had already listened more and more openly, and finally realized what Yu Qiu was trying to convey.

That's right, he is now devoting himself to smartphones, because he sees the mobile Internet as an outlet, and he feels that this is the second half of the Internet, a new opportunity.

He also knows that now that the concept of the Internet of Things is hot, there must be new opportunities for the Internet of Everything.

But now that he understands, Yu Qiu is talking about the next big era from a higher perspective.

There are traces of the mobile Internet, it is the current Internet, and the scene migration after the addition of mobile smartphones.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is also a way to digitize more of the real world and improve the details of the virtual world.

But...... Yu Qiu said this differently!

It's more like a soul!

It will make the virtual world really come alive!

Rebus couldn't help but stand up, pinching his chin and walking around in thought.

After a while, he looked up at Yu Qiu: "How much do you want?"
