This is the first threshold for many people to understand the blockchain. Many people say that blockchain is subversive to the Internet. I prefer to say that blockchain and the Internet are two parallel worlds.

If it is a parallel world, we need to talk about how to go from the Internet to the blockchain and how to go back from the blockchain to the Internet.

Looking at the blockchain from the internet

We see that the Internet world is actually divided into two parts. The above is the most familiar Internet platform. Wechat, Didi, Toutiao, Meituan, etc. that we use every day. Under the Internet platform are infrastructure, basic resources, and basic protocols. These users are unfamiliar and invisible.

The two most valuable core capabilities of the Internet platform are digital identity and online payment. The moat of any Internet platform is built on these two core capabilities. Today's public chain is to extract these two capabilities.

Looking at the Internet from the blockchain

The technical agreement behind the global telecommunication network before the Internet is essentially a government-led agreement based on a centralized organization, including global telephone area code allocation (for example, China is 86, Hong Kong, China is 852, Taiwan, China is 886) Wait.

The resource allocation of the blockchain is completely different from the telecommunications network. It is not dominated by governments and centralized organizations. ICANN and IETF in the blockchain world are all non-profit organizations established from the bottom up.They are responsible for global addresses, AS number assignment, functional variable name registration and global server operations.
