In his interpretation, Mr. Tang expressed personal opinions andsummary on the nature of blockchains. According to him, technically, it is adistributed storage database built on peer-to-peer (P2P) networks. It serves asa method to lower the cost of resource allocation by building new trust modelsfeaturing decentralization, collective maintenance, editability, datacredibility and other properties. Its strengths in open and transparent data,high-level information security, and remarkable traceability promise aneffective value transfer. It has the potential to improve the existing businessrules, build new industrial coordination models, improve the efficiency ofcooperation and circulation, speed up social digitalization, and promote theexpanded reproduction of some commodities by digital means. Therefore, theprospects of blockchains seem quite promising. So far, the blockchaintechnology has been applied to various practical scenarios like finance-digitalcurrency, public service-healthcare anti-fraud regulation, supply chain-foodsafety, and internet of things. Tang also pointed out that the blockchaintechnology is a perfect match for the combination with scenarios featuring oneor more characteristics like “high costs of trust building, cumbersometransaction verification, multiple fragmented organizations, traceability, P2Ptransactions, and autonomous alliance.”“As people still harbor doubts overthe commercial value of the blockchain technology, the era of the internet ofeverything is fading away and making way for the world of digitalization.”
