前言


比特币作为一种加密数字货币,价值从零涨到如今的近8000美元,其存在完全依赖于计算机算法和人类对其价值的信任。


比特币的技术很简单直接,人们对这种非物理概念的喜爱程度令人震惊但并不奇怪。


我们目前正经历着货币概念的又一次重大革命。最初的货币概念是现金(cash),指的是由贵重金属制成的硬币,其价值根据发行方和原材料的价值而变化。其后,出现了纸币和能够进行电子交易的货币,其发行主体是主权国家。如今,又出现了不依赖主权国家,且不依靠任何其他物质材料支撑的加密货币。除了交易链是透明的,这种加密货币还受到数据加密,能够防止受到黑客的攻击。



新的网络世界,不变的市场信心 


市场信心是所有市场存在或毁灭的关键因素,有形资产和无形资产的价值都依赖于市场信心。


毫无疑问,就市场信心而言,全球金融危机对我们国家(澳大利亚)的金融体系有很大的影响。英国央行行长最近也提到过这一点。


有一种用于测量一国货币的价值是被高估还是低估了的方法,叫做“巨无霸指数”。麦当劳的巨无霸汉堡在当地的价格成为了一个反映当地货币价值的通用标准。


有趣的是,那些相信市场平衡机制的投机者们常常使用这种方法。然而如果出现干扰,这些谋求快钱的投机者还是相信这一点。这是有原因的。


电子交易平台目前竞争很激烈,各自为了市场份额和差价合约(CFD)的类型而殊死搏斗。这意味着交易对手风险和相关的司法管辖及法规也很重要。


改变也是一个挑战,但所有人都可以选择改变。像数字加密技术和区块链这样的技术能够提高市场透明度和交易效率。拥有这样的技术,主权国家货币也可以成为数字加密货币。


如果消费者和企业都认识到比特币模式可以同时扮演并提供平台、货币和会员计划的功能,这种模式就可以被应用到大多数的商业模式中,让Uber和Amazon这样如今大热的平台都将黯然失色。如果有足够的运算能力,政府电子平台也可以采用类似的方法,不使用身份模式,而是使用比特币模式提供服务和交易,便可以瞬间实现追踪和身份确认。在澳大利亚,已经有足够强大的运算能力能支持这种模式了。


澳大利亚的能源价格问题


历史经验告诉我们,要想实现这种改变,我们必须给予足够的信任。既得利益团体为了保护他们的既得利益,会拒绝改变。然而长远来看,这种抵抗改变的行为如同抵抗潮汐一样愚蠢。


澳大利亚总理Turnbull参与了澳大利亚工商联合会ACCI的小企业圆桌会议,他提醒我们能源是多么重要,对所有企业都很重要。对于某些企业而言,能源是一项最大的生产成本。


现在总理正在利用所有可能的政府手段降低能源价格。对于能源零售商,敦促他们劝服他们的顾客更改错误的套餐,换成正确的套餐。很多家庭和小企业每年仅通过这个方式就能节省几百澳元。


澳大利亚东部存在天然气短缺的问题。过去没有人相信澳大利亚会出现天然气短缺,因为澳大利亚每年都生产和出口大量的天然气。


而今澳大利亚政府不得不限制天然气出口,你很难想象对于自由党政府而言,会有这样的举措。但是现实是,不得不这么做,因为我们需要保护澳大利亚人免于失业,我们需要保护企业和它们的员工。


好消息是,能源公司和天然气公司进行了谈判并达成了协议。现在东部地区有足够的天然气供应,批发价格也已经下降了一些。


联盟党的能源政策、税收上的改革以及未来将要进行的改革,让澳大利亚普通家庭和企业口袋里的钱变多了。


Turnbull计划会减少电费账单保证电力供应吗? 


如果政府使用更高效的工具和流程,用加密数字货币和区块链技术,让市场运行更高效透明,这些改革是不是会容易很多呢?


推动这项活动的还有吉娜·莱因哈特(Gina Rinehart)女士、Hancock Prospecting公司的员工们和所有帮助实现这个纪念日的合伙人们。


如果能够早一点建立信任,从Bloomberg到CMC Markets,以及 Hcash在比特币的技术革新也许会带来更快、更高效的转变,创造更多的利润。


我们需要创造信任,教育是重要一环 


随着教育和认识的更新,这些新技术终于开始对我们的文明带来改变。


 

 『原文』The phenomena of crypto currencies like BitCoin 


From $0 to now about $8000 in November 2017, not bad for an algorithm based on bit’s and human believe, nothing else.


The technologies are straight forward, the penchant of human kind to believe in the non physical construct is astounding but not surprising.


We are looking at the next quantum shift in the concept of cash, once coins made of valuable metals that appreciated on merit of issuer and material, to paper money and electronically traded sovereign currencies to now crypto-currencies without a sovereign issuer and no other material backing. Except a transparent transaction chain, that due to its encryption is meant to be safe from hacking.


Welcome to the new cyber world with the old notion of trust.

Trust is still what makes or breaks any market and gives value to tangible and non tangible assets.


No doubt the GFC had a hand in the level of trust in our Financial System, as the outgoing Head of the Bank of England recently mentioned.


One non sovereign currency measure has been the BigMac for some time a guide to establish if a currency is over or undervalued based on the BigMac as a standard across the markets where the Golden Arches operate.


Interestingly enough this measure is surprisingly often used by speculators that trust market forces to find equilibrium. However fast paced traders trust in the fact if there is a disturbance and there is a reason for it.


Electronic trading platforms are in a competition to the death in terms of market share and the type of CFD’s they allow investors to put money behind. This means that the counter-party risk and relevant jurisdictions and regulations come into play too.


A challenge is change, however everyone can choose to change, there is no reason at al sovereign currencies can not also become cryptocurrencies with the transparency and transaction efficiency technologies like cryptography and blockchain can offer, and more.


The BitCoin model could be applied to most business models and make even presently hyped platforms like Uber and Amazon obsolete, if consumers and business decided the coin model could serve as platform , currency and loyalty scheme at the same time. E-Government could adopt a similar approach, instead of identity models, used a coin model for all services and transactions, tracked and validated in an instant, provided the computing power, in Australia, the real power is available.


Talking about real power, let me touch on the energy price issues in Australia!

History keeps telling us trust is essential for such changes to take place. Naturally vested interests will try to resist and protect their present advantage to prevent change. In the longer run however this is as silly as trying to hold back the tides.


The PM was part of the ACCI small business round table and he reminded us all how central energy is, you know vitally important for every business. For some businesses it’s the largest single overhead, production cost item.


Now what the PM has done is, right across the board, every lever of government has to reduce energy prices. The retailers, urged them and persuaded them to go out to their customers and tell them that they’re on the wrong plan, to get onto the right plan. Families, small businesses are getting savings of hundreds of dollars a year through that measure alone.


There was a gas shortage in eastern Australia. It beggars belief that Australia ever was in such a situation given how much gas Australia produces and exports.


So we’ve got to the point where the Australian Governments had to foreshadow restrictions on gas exports, an unlikely course of action for a Liberal Government you would think, but we needed to protect Australian jobs, we needed to protect the jobs and the businesses.


The good news is the energy companies, the gas companies came to the table, reached agreement, we now have enough gas into the east coast market and wholesale prices have come down.


The Coalition’s policies on Energy, together with what we’ve done on tax and what we will do in the future, puts more money into the pockets of Australian families and businesses.


The Turnbull plan will cut power bills and keep the lights on?

How much easier would all this have been with more efficient government tools and processes, utilising crypto coin and blockchain technologies, running an efficient transparent market?


From Bloomberg to CMC Markets and technology implementations from BitiCoin to Hcash would have made a much quicker and more efficient, profitable difference if trust in them would have been established much earlier. 

 

Trust needs to be earned and education is part of it!

Sadly, but never the less in time, with education and insight they have and are making a difference in our civilisation.
