Dr. Wei-Tek Tsai interview nov 2017 I used google chrome to translate...wording isnt perfect but some good info.
Shendan: I remember you once said that if you want to make a Chinese-style blockchain and you've just got into the office, I think the two most attractive paintings on the wall are the golden monkey and the giant panda. I think we are a representative of China, why do we think of these two animals in the block chain?
Tsai Weide: When I was a model of digital currency, because it is China's first proposed model, named after the panda, on behalf of an innovation in China.
Golden Monkey is another thing, golden monkey in the year 2017 , when, at that time I found that in 2017 Nian 3 months or 4 months of age, because in foreign countries, with the United States in Europe, there is the concept of "block chain Internet" emerge , There were several very famous models out there, and then I spent some time studying it.
I get the idea that some of their models are basically something like Ethereum, the so-called second-generation blockchain model, and the third-generation blockchain model not yet in use.
At that time I suddenly had a feeling out, came out and later spent it a month to make it out, you need to make a name
Because I already had a panda model, I went to Guizhou at that time to commemorate Guizhou to help me a favor, so I would like to make some representatives of Guizhou, I turned a bit, a representative of Guizhou is a golden monkey, golden monkey and panda are also Sichuan, the famous monkeys.
The golden monkey model is a heterogeneous blockchain internet model proposed by China . There are not many models of blockchain internet today. There are two models in China, which are the first homogeneous network models created in China.
Panda model, the world's first homogeneous network model , is not only China's first model, but also the world's first model.
Shen Dan: You do not know the development of a blockbuster technology abroad, or one of its applications compared to our own country, you analyze with us.
Tsai Weide: foreign blockchain , if the blockchain is not a digital currency, the progress is very fast.
I remember when we talked about in 2016 , we could have load balancing. I think many people do not talk about it, but I think they all doubt that now there may be a lot of load balancing blockchain, or This parallel concurrent, many people may have been watching at that time I do not speak, and now many systems are so called.
So there are all sorts of, for example, said that architecture, or what sorts of such clusters architecture, wide variety of architectures have emerged, so that indeed research has reached the fourth generation and is very active.
Shen Dan: What is the relationship between blockchain and our public?
Tsai Weide: When the advent of the Internet, many people said that the Internet has nothing to do with me. When I was working with the Japanese company Fujitsu, they told me a very interesting thing. He said he received his grandmother's e-mail, He said it was amazing, my grandmother sent me an email! This internet has changed the world.
So what happens after the blockchain? My current predictive blockchain isubiquitous .
What does it mean everywhere? So in cell phones, there is also a blockchain for future phones; there may be many blockchains in the office, and you can not tell if it exists, but it's right next to you .
The Internet is a disorderly disorderly society, but the blockchain is okay. To make this disorderly society socially orderly and managed, we will eventually need an orderly Management of the Internet, then this is the blockchain.
I repeat, just now you asked why you want to study blockchain, because blockchain is the only technique I know now that controls the virtual community and binds the assets in the virtual world to actual assets .
Because now, for example, there is a database, but that database is human, people say it, but blockchain it is to chain them together, so now this is the only one technology, then more and more Assets, more and more things it will be online, so the blockchain will be everywhere, everywhere.
Guizhou side also proposed a new look at law, "sovereign block chain" .
What is the sovereign blockchain, said the blockchain is to maintain sovereignty, it can enforce the law, it can safeguard the national sovereignty, and then let the people comply with the law, that with the smart contract or the code on the chain .
So why is this related? Because the top of the block chain if you put the Chinese law, then this is the Chinese blockchain.
If Japan law was released, it became the blockchain in Japan and put the United States law into the blockchain in the United States. Therefore, the block chain is a nationality, and today you say to use a blockchain in China, the law above is Chinese law, if you go to Japan will not work, you go to the United States you have to use the United States blockchain above It is American law.
So you want to say what I am going to do, maybe it can not be done in China or the United States can not in China. For example, if the United States wants to drink alcohol at the age of 21 , China can be younger. So if you are 20 years oldin the United States and you want to send a dozen beers, the man said sorry. You are only 20 years old now . Send it.
So this is a blockchain usage, so the use of the blockchain is bigger than you think.
Shen Dan: Actually, we have been talking about this for a long time. The blockchain has such a topic that I think your talkative input is very high and then I talk about the blockchain. I think it is also a favorite blockchain. You go abroad to study and then return to China at this stage there are many, if you come to evaluate you, what words will be used to evaluate you through these stages.
Tsai Weide: Basically 2015 is the word "alone" , is alone, because when I was talking about blockchain , I encountered most of the two cases.
The first one is public opposition, saying that this is a no-knowledge, meaningless and open objection. The second one is that I agree with it. However, since I oppose it privately and oppose it anyway, I think it is a joke.
At that time the people around me, the Chinese people really do block chain is really very little, 2015 Nian 10 months is the overseas later announced that they block chain is proven to be useful, so in 2015 Nian 11 months old, There is a lot of investment coming in.
However, this happened in China in 2016. The result came after it. Many blockchain ideas and many people had meetings. I used the word "chaos" because it was disorder and all Things are disorder, in this word to describe the 2016blockchain China's development.
To 2017 years, I used the third word is "swing" two months ago China to ICO put it off, and then close the digital exchange of money, then this is a great deal of turmoil, but that's just Turmoil in China.
Abroad in 2017 Nian 4 Yue 1 Hao Japan accepted digital currency legal tender bits ( Legal Tender) , this is also a great shock
Then when China announced the closure of these exchanges and the ICO , it would also be a shock to foreign countries, so 2017 will not only be chaos and are shaking up because of these very big effects, and 2017 is also the first year in the world for digital currency Or blockchain, for the financial markets, for the capital market, there is a real change, and this change is only the first year this year.
Shen Dan: Finally, I want you to sum up with a few words, as you understand the blockchain.
Tsai Weide: I understand the blockchain , that is, I speak in many places, there are only three.
The first is the chain of blocks , say a chain, each with a hash, and then put the hash into the next one, and then do a hash and then to the next one, the first block chain.
The second is multi-node , each node is independent, and each message is the same, called multi-node.
The third is called the Byzantine, say you vote, you can not have people lie, according to my definition, my definition of area chain can monitor others, all things are real names, such as the Estonia (Estonia European countries ) , the National Out of a digital currency (Estonian national currency is the euro).Digital out of the country with ID card tied together, so this is an innovation.
So one more thing, many people think blockchain will change the world. But the blockchain is a low-level technology that needs to be changed or subverted and must be tied to something else. For example, Estonia tied the blockchain to its identity card, tied it up with the digital currency out of the country, and tied it up with other applications that tied it up with some new processes or Other technologies that change the world.
So you put a blockchain over there, what it can change, nothing can change, it's a piece of software, and nothing can be done.
But if you're tied to real estate, then it's about real estate deals.
So I think of this "Internet + " concept, the concept of "blockchain + " will emerge in the future .
