  区块链将如何改变我们的钱和商业

  The technology likely to have the greatest impacton the next few decadeshas arrived.And it’s not social media.It’s not big data.It’s not robotics.It’s not even AI.You’ll be surprised to learnthat it’s the underlying technology of digital currencies like Bitcoin.It’s called the blockchain. Blockchain.

  有可能在未来几十年带来巨大影响的科技,已经到来了。并不是社交媒体,也不是大数据,也不是机器人科学,甚至也不是人工智能。你会惊讶地了解到,它是比特币等数字货币的技术基础,它叫做区块链。

  Now, it’s not the most sonorous word in the world,but I believe that this is nowthe next generation of the internet,and that it holds vast promise for every business, every societyand for all of you, individually.

  它不是世界上最华丽的词汇,但是我坚信它将是下一代互联网,并且给每一次贸易, 每一个社会,每一个人,带来光明前景。

  You know, for the past few decades, we’ve had the internet of information.And when I send you an email or a PowerPoint file or something,I’m actually not sending you the original,I’m sending you a copy.And that’s great.This is democratized information.But when it comes to assets --things like money,financial assets like stocks and bonds,loyalty points, intellectual property,music, art, a vote,carbon credit and other assets --sending you a copy is a really bad idea.If I send you 100 dollars,it’s really important that I don’t still have the money --

  过去的几十年里, 我们迎来了互联网的信息时代。当我向你发送一封电子邮件, 或一份PPT文件或者其他的时候,实际上我发送的并不是原始文件,我发送的是拷贝的副本。那可真棒。这是民主化的信息时代。但是如果牵涉到资产的话,比如说金钱,股票及债权等金融资产,股份,知识产权,音乐,艺术,一张选票,碳信用额等其他资产,发送一份副本真是个糟糕主意。如果我给了你100美元,我不再拥有这笔钱是很重要的。

   and that I can’t send it to you.This has been called the "double-spend" problemby cryptographers for a long time.

  并且我不能再次发送。这已经被密码专家叫做二次消费问题很久了。

  So today, we rely entirely on big intermediaries --middlemen like banks, government,big social media companies, credit card companies and so on --to establish trust in our economy.And these intermediaries perform all the business and transaction logicof every kind of commerce,from authentication, identification of people,through to clearing, settling and record keeping.And overall, they do a pretty good job.But there are growing problems.

  如今,我们完全依赖于大型中介机构,中间商比如银行,政府,大型社交媒体公司, 信用卡公司等等,来构建经济中的信用体系。这些中介机构承办了 各式各样的商业贸易的一切流程。从对人们的身份验证,到记录的清除,设定和保存。总的来说,他们做得不错。但是有一个问题日益凸显。

  To begin, they’re centralized.That means they can be hacked, and increasingly are --JP Morgan, the US Federal Government,LinkedIn, Home Depot and othersfound that out the hard way.They exclude billions of people from the global economy,for example, people who don’t have enough moneyto have a bank account.They slow things down.It can take a second for an email to go around the world,but it can take days or weeksfor money to move through the banking system across a city.And they take a big piece of the action --10 to 20 percent just to send money to another country.They capture our data,and that means we can’t monetize itor use it to better manage our lives.Our privacy is being undermined.And the biggest problem is that overall,they’ve appropriated the largesse of the digital age asymmetrically:we have wealth creation, but we have growing social inequality.

  首先,他们过于集中,这就意味着它们会被黑客攻击,像摩根大通银行,美联储,领英,家得宝等惨痛的教训证明了这一点。它们使数十亿人民与全球经济隔绝,比方说,有人由于没有足够的资金无法开户。它们降低了效率。一封电子邮件转瞬即可环游世界,但是会花上几天甚至几周的时间通过银行移动城市内的金钱,它们从中收取大笔利益:跨国转账需要10%20%的手续费。他们掌握了我们的交易数据,这意味着我们不能将其货币化或是更好地管理我们的生活。我们的隐私正在暗中被侵蚀。而最大的问题在于,他们使得数字时代带给人们的福利变得不再平衡。我们创造着财富, 但是我们的社会也日趋不平等。

  So what if there were not only an internet of information,what if there were an internet of value --some kind of vast, global, distributed ledgerrunning on millions of computersand available to everybody.And where every kind of asset, from money to music,could be stored, moved, transacted, exchanged and managed,all without powerful intermediaries?What if there were a native medium for value?

  如果我们有的不仅仅是信息的互联,如果还有价值的互联:大量的,全球性的 分散式的账本,可以在数千万台电脑上运转,每个人都有权访问。无论是什么样的资产,从金钱到音乐,都可以进行储存,移动, 交易,交换和管理,全部不经过强大的中间商。如果我们有价值的当地媒介?

  Well, in 2008, the financial industry crashedand, perhaps propitiously,an anonymous person or persons named Satoshi Nakamotocreated a paper where he developed a protocol for a digital cashthat used an underlying cryptocurrency called Bitcoin.And this cryptocurrency enabled people to establish trust and do transactionswithout a third party.And this seemingly simple act set off a sparkthat ignited the world,that has everyone excited or terrified or otherwise interestedin many places.Now, don’t be confused about Bitcoin --Bitcoin is an asset; it goes up and down,and that should be of interest to you if you’re a speculator.More broadly, it’s a cryptocurrency.It’s not a fiat currency controlled by a nation-state.And that’s of greater interest.But the real pony here is the underlying technology.It’s called blockchain.

  在2008年,金融业崩溃,也许幸运的是,一位或几位名叫中本聪的匿名人士创造了一个针对数字货币的协议,使用了一种加密货币,名为比特币。这一加密货币使得人们可以建立信任并进行交易,不需要第三方。这看似寻常的动作擦出的火花,点燃了整个世界,各地的人们或是激动,或是恐慌,或是好奇。现在不必为比特币感到困惑。比特币是一种资产,它有涨有跌。投机商应该对此颇有兴趣。总的来说,它是一种加密货币。它不是由国家控制的法定货币。这就很有趣了。不过其中最根本的要素是叫做区位链的技术。

  So for the first time now in human history,people everywhere can trust each otherand transact peer to peer.And trust is established, not by some big institution,but by collaboration, by cryptographyand by some clever code.And because trust is native to the technology,I call this, "The Trust Protocol."

  这是人类历史上首次各地的人们可以彼此信任,并进行点对点的交易。信任的建立并不是基于一些大型机构,而是基于合作,基于密码技术和一些精巧的代码。因为信任正是起源于这一技术。我把它叫做信任协议

  Now, you’re probably wondering: How does this thing work?Fair enough.Assets -- digital assets like money to music and everything in between --are not stored in a central place,but they’re distributed across a global ledger,using the highest level of cryptography.And when a transaction is conducted,it’s posted globally,across millions and millions of computers.And out there, around the world,is a group of people called "miners."These are not young people, they’re Bitcoin miners.They have massive computing power at their fingertips --10 to 100 times bigger than all of Google worldwide.These miners do a lot of work.And every 10 minutes,kind of like the heartbeat of a network,a block gets createdthat has all the transactions from the previous 10 minutes.Then the miners get to work, trying to solve some tough problems.

  你也许会想:它的工作原理是什么?问得好。资产——数字资产从金钱到音乐,或是其他的产品,并不储存在中央区域,而是分散于全球的账本之中,使用最高级别的密码技术。当一次交易处理完成后,它会通过数亿台计算机发布全球通告。而在全世界,有一群叫做矿工的人们。他们并不一定是年轻人, 他们是比特币矿工。他们手头有着巨大的计算能力——比谷歌全球规大数十倍。这些矿工要做很多工作。每隔十分钟,有点类似于网络的一次心跳,一个区块便诞生了,它包含了过去10分钟的所有交易信息。然后矿工们开始工作, 尝试解决一些难题。

  And they compete:the first miner to find out the truth and to validate the block,is rewarded in digital currency,in the case of the Bitcoin blockchain, with Bitcoin.And then -- this is the key part --that block is linked to the previous blockand the previous blockto create a chain of blocks.And every one is time-stamped,kind of like with a digital waxed seal.So if I wanted to go and hack a blockand, say, pay you and you with the same money,I’d have to hack that block,plus all the preceding blocks,the entire history of commerce on that blockchain,not just on one computer but across millions of computers,simultaneously,all using the highest levels of encryption,in the light of the most powerful computing resource in the worldthat’s watching me.Tough to do.This is infinitely more securethan the computer systems that we have today.Blockchain. That’s how it works.

  他们彼此竞争,第一个找出真相并使区块有效的矿工将会有数字货币的奖励,这就是关于比特币的区块链。随后是关键的部分,该区块连接到前一个区块,以及更前面的区块形成了一连串的区块。每一个区块都是时间标记,有点像是数字蜡印。假如说我想要破解其中的一个区块,比方说给你还有你一样的金钱,我需要破解那个区块,和前面所有的区块,就是那区块链上完整的交易历史,并不只是破解一台电脑,而是要同时破解数亿台电脑,它们都使用着最高级别的加密技术,世界上最强大的计算资源正在监视着我。几乎不可能的任务。比起我们现有的计算机系统,这绝对要安全得多。区块链,这就是它工作的原理。

  So the Bitcoin blockchain is just one.There are many.The Ethereum blockchain was developed by a Canadian named Vitalik Buterin.He’s [22] years old,and this blockchain has some extraordinary capabilities.One of them is that you can build smart contracts.It’s kind of what it sounds like.It’s a contract that self-executes,and the contract handles the enforcement, the management, performanceand payment -- the contract kind of has a bank account, too, in a sense --of agreements between people.And today, on the Ethereum blockchain,there are projects underway to do everythingfrom create a new replacement for the stock marketto create a new model of democracy,where politicians are accountable to citizens.

  而比特币的区块链只是其中之一。还有许多种类。以太坊区块链由加拿大人维塔利·布塔林开发。他只有19岁。(实际年龄应为22)这一区块链有一些无与伦比的特点。其中之一是你可以制定智能合约。它正如其名。它是自我执行的合约,合约负责处理强制措施,经营管理,工作情况和支付方式,某种意义上来说,该合约也有一个银行账户,是关于人们之间的协议。如今,通过以太坊的区块链,有各种工程进行着各种任务,从创造新的股票市场的替代品,到创立一个政客对公民真正负责的民主制度的新模型。

  So to understand what a radical change this is going to bring,let’s look at one industry, financial services.Recognize this?Rube Goldberg machine.It’s a ridiculously complicated machine that does something really simple,like crack an egg or shut a door.Well, it kind of reminds me of the financial services industry,honestly.I mean, you tap your card in the corner store,and a bitstream goes through a dozen companies,each with their own computer system,some of them being 1970s mainframesolder than many of the people in this room,and three days later, a settlement occurs.Well, with a blockchain financial industry,there would be no settlement,because the payment and the settlement is the same activity,it’s just a change in the ledger.So Wall Street and all around the world,the financial industry is in a big upheaval about this,wondering, can we be replaced,or how do we embrace this technology for success?

  所以为了理解 即将到来的突破性的改变,让我们看一个行业:金融服务业。你们能否认出这是什么?小题大做的机器。这台机器离奇地复杂,工作却很简单,像是敲碎鸡蛋或是关上门等。老实说,它使我想起了金融服务业。我的意思是,你在街角的商店刷了卡,一股比特流便穿过了好几家公司,每一家都有自己的计算机系统,其中还有一些20世纪70年代的主机,甚至比在座的各位还要老,然后三天过后, 一份交易说明诞生了。好吧,金融业有了区块链,将不再会有交易说明,因为交易和交易说明是同一种行为,它只是在账本中有所不同。所以在华尔街或世界上所有地方,金融业正在巨变,思考着自己是否会被取代,或是如何正视技术迎接成功?

  Now, why should you care?Well, let me describe some applications.Prosperity.The first era of the internet,the internet of information,brought us wealth but not shared prosperity,because social inequality is growing.And this is at the heart of all of the anger and extremismand protectionism and xenophobia and worsethat we’re seeing growing in the world today,Brexit being the most recent case.

  现在为什么要在意呢?让我来讲述几个应用吧。繁荣。互联网的第一个时代,信息的互联,带给我们财富,但是没有共享繁荣,因为社会变得日趋不平等。而这是所有的愤怒和极端主义的焦点,还导致了贸易保护主义,仇外心理等现在我们见到的现象。英国脱欧就是最近的例子。

  So could we develop some new approaches to this problem of inequality?Because the only approach today is to redistribute wealth,tax people and spread it around more.Could we pre-distribute wealth?Could we change the way that wealth gets created in the first placeby democratizing wealth creation,engaging more people in the economy,and then ensuring that they got fair compensation?Let me describe five ways that this can be done.

  我们能否针对这不平等的问题 想出一些新的解决方案?因为现在唯一的方法就是 财富的再分配,征税来减小贫富差距。我们能否对财富进行预先分配?我们能否从源头上改变财富的创造方式,通过民主化来进行财富创造,吸引更多的人参与经济,并确保他们得到平等的报酬?我将有五点使其可行的方案。

  Number one:Did you know that 70 percent of the people in the world who have landhave a tenuous title to it?So, you’ve got a little farm in Honduras, some dictator comes to power,he says, "I know you’ve got a piece of paper that says you own your farm,but the government computer says my friend owns your farm."This happened on a mass scale in Honduras,and this problem exists everywhere.Hernando de Soto, the great Latin American economist,says this is the number one issue in the worldin terms of economic mobility,more important than having a bank account,because if you don’t have a valid title to your land,you can’t borrow against it,and you can’t plan for the future.

  第一点:你们知道世界上70%的土地所有者只是拥有一个脆弱的名头?你在洪都拉斯有个小农场, 当独裁者上台,他说:我知道你有一张纸 证明你拥有你的农场,但是政府的计算机显示我的朋友拥有你的农场。这种事在洪都拉斯屡见不鲜,而这一问题也非常普遍。伟大的拉丁美洲经济学家 埃尔南多··索托,把它列为经济流动性方面世界头号问题,比起拥有一个银行账户更重要。因为倘若你对你的土地没有有效的所有权,你就无法用它来借贷,你就无法计划于未来。

  So today, companies are working with governmentsto put land titles on a blockchain.And once it’s there, this is immutable.You can’t hack it.This creates the conditions for prosperityfor potentially billions of people.

  所以现在,公司正在与政府合作将土地所有权置于区块链中。一旦放置完成,它将不再改变。你不能破解它。这样就为数亿人的繁荣创造了可能的条件。

  Secondly:a lot of writers talk about Uberand Airbnb and TaskRabbit and Lyft and so onas part of the sharing economy.This is a very powerful idea,that peers can come together and create and share wealth.My view is that ...these companies are not really sharing.In fact, they’re successful precisely because they don’t share.They aggregate services together, and they sell them.What if, rather than Airbnb being a $25 billion corporation,there was a distributed application on a blockchain, we’ll call it B-Airbnb,and it was essentially owned by all of the peoplewho have a room to rent.And when someone wants to rent a room,they go onto the blockchain database and all the criteria,they sift through, it helps them find the right room,and then the blockchain helps with the contracting,it identifies the party,it handles the paymentsjust through digital payments -- they’re built into the system.And it even handles reputation,because if she rates a room as a five-star room,that room is there,and it’s rated, and it’s immutable.So, the big sharing-economy disruptors in Silicon Valleycould be disrupted,and this would be good for prosperity.

  第二点:很多写手谈论起UberAirbnbTaskRabbitLyft等企业时,把他们当做了共享经济的一部分。这个想法很不错,个人也可以汇聚在一起 创造并共享财富。我的观点是这些公司并没有真正的共享。实际上,他们的成功恰恰是因为他们不共享。他们把服务汇集并加以出售。假如说Airbnb并不是 那家250亿美元的公司在区块链上有一个分布式的应用,我们叫它B-Airbnb,它从根本上属于所有提供房间出租的人们。当有人想租借一间房间,他们进入区块链的数据库和标准库,他们细细筛选,帮助他们找到合适的房间,随后区块链帮助签订合约。鉴定当事人,通过数字支付 解决支付问题,这是系统内置的支付方式。它甚至处理声誉问题,如果她给一间房间五星好评,那么房间本身和评价都已不可更改。所以硅谷共享制经济的破坏者将不复存在。这将有利于经济繁荣。

  Number three:the biggest flow of funds from the developed worldto the developing worldis not corporate investment,and it’s not even foreign aid.It’s remittances.This is the global diaspora;people have left their ancestral lands,and they’re sending money back to their families at home.This is 600 billion dollars a year, and it’s growing,and these people are getting ripped off.

  第三点:从发达国家到发展中国家规模最大的资金流动并不是公司投资,甚至也不是外国援助,而是汇款。这是散居在全球的人们,离开了祖辈的土地,他们把钱汇回家中。一年会产生6000亿美元的汇款, 而且还在不断增加。而且他们正在被剥削。

  Analie Domingo is a housekeeper.She lives in Toronto,and every month she goes to the Western Union officewith some cashto send her remittances to her mom in Manila.It costs her around 10 percent;the money takes four to seven days to get there;her mom never knows when it’s going to arrive. It takes five hours out of her week to do this.

  安娜丽·多明戈是位女管家。她在多伦多生活,每个月都会带着现金 来到西联汇款公司把钱汇给在马尼拉的妈妈。手续费占了将近10%,转账手续需要花费47天的时间,她妈妈从来不知道到账的时间。每个礼拜她都要花五个小时来检查是否到账。

  Six months ago,Analie Domingo used a blockchain application called Abra.And from her mobile device, she sent 300 bucks.It went directly to her mom’s mobile devicewithout going through an intermediary.And then her mom looked at her mobile device --it’s kind of like an Uber interface, there’s Abra "tellers" moving around.She clicks on a teller that’s a five-star teller,who’s seven minutes away.The guy shows up at the door, gives her Filipino pesos,she puts them in her wallet.The whole thing took minutes,and it cost her two percent.This is a big opportunity for prosperity.

  六个月前,安娜丽·多明戈使用了一款 名叫阿布拉的区块链应用。她从自己的手机上 转出了300美元。直接转入了她母亲的手机上并没有经过中间商。她的母亲只需查看她的手机有点像Uber的应用界面,阿布拉中有出纳员在循环滚动。她点击一个五星的出纳员,只相隔7分钟的路程。那位伙计很快出现在门口, 给了她菲律宾比索,随后把钱放进钱包。整个过程只需要几分钟时间,并且花费只有2%。这是经济繁荣的巨大机遇。

  Number four: the most powerful asset of the digital age is data.And data is really a new asset class,maybe bigger than previous asset classes,like land under the agrarian economy,or an industrial plant,or even money.And all of you -- we -- create this data.We create this asset,and we leave this trail of digital crumbs behind usas we go throughout life.And these crumbs are collected into a mirror image of you,the virtual you.And the virtual you may know more about you than you do,because you can’t remember what you bought a year ago,or said a year ago, or your exact location a year ago.And the virtual you is not owned by you --that’s the big problem.

  第四点:数字时代 最强大的资产就是数据。数据是一种新的资产种类,也许比以前的资产种类更庞大,就像农业经济下的土地,或是工厂,甚至是金钱。是我们所有人,创造了这些数据。我们创造了这种资产,在我们的数字生活中,留下了零碎的痕迹。这些痕迹汇聚成了你的镜像,一个虚拟的你。虚拟的你也许比你还要了解你,因为你并不一定记得一年前买了什么,或是说了什么,或者你一年前的准确位置。而虚拟的你并不属于你,那可是个大问题。

  So today, there are companies workingto create an identity in a black box,the virtual you owned by you.And this black box moves around with youas you travel throughout the world,and it’s very, very stingy.It only gives away the shred of informationthat’s required to do something.A lot of transactions,the seller doesn’t even need to know who you are.They just need to know that they got paid.

  所以现在有许多公司正致力于开发一个黑盒中的身份系统,属于你自己的虚拟的你。这个黑盒会随着你移动,前往世界的每一个角落。它对你的隐私守口如瓶。它只会根据需要透露一丁点的信息。有许多的交易,卖家甚至不需要知道你是谁。他们只要知道能拿到钱。

  And then this avatar is sweeping up all of this dataand enabling you to monetize it.And this is a wonderful thing,because it can also help us protect our privacy,and privacy is the foundation of a free society.Let’s get this asset that we createback under our control,where we can own our own identityand manage it responsibly.

  于是这化身清除了所有数据使你能够进行货币化。这可真棒,因为它也能保护我们的隐私,而隐私是自由社会的基础。让我们重新夺回我们创造的这一资产的控制权。我们拥有我们自己的身份并且进行负责的管理。

  Finally --

  最后

  Finally, number five:there are a whole number of creators of contentwho don’t receive fair compensation,because the system for intellectual property is broken.It was broken by the first era of the internet.Take music.Musicians are left with crumbs at the end of the whole food chain.You know, if you were a songwriter, 25 years ago, you wrote a hit song,it got a million singles,you could get royalties of around 45,000 dollars.Today, you’re a songwriter, you write a hit song,it gets a million streams,you don’t get 45k,you get 36 dollars,enough to buy a nice pizza.

  最后,第五点:有许多内容的创造者并没有得到公平的报酬,因为知识产权系统遭到了损害。在互联网的第一个时代就遭到损害。就拿音乐来说。音乐家们只在食物链的末端获得一些残渣碎屑。在25年前,如果你是一个作曲家, 写出一首流行的歌曲,卖出一百万首单曲,你可以获得大约45000美元的报酬。而现在,作曲家的你 写出一首流行的歌曲,被百万次播放,你并不能得到45000美元,你只能得到36美元,足以买一个不错的披萨了。

  So Imogen Heap,the Grammy-winning singer-songwriter,is now putting music on a blockchain ecosystem.She calls it "Mycelia."And the music has a smart contract surrounding it.And the music protects her intellectual property rights.You want to listen to the song?It’s free, or maybe a few micro-cents that flow into a digital account.You want to put the song in your movie, that’s different,and the IP rights are all specified.You want to make a ringtone? That’s different.She describes that the song becomes a business.It’s out there on this platform marketing itself,protecting the rights of the author,and because the song has a payment systemin the sense of bank account,all the money flows back to the artist,and they control the industry,rather than these powerful intermediaries.Now, this is --

  所以伊莫金·希普,一位荣获格莱美奖的创作歌手,现在把音乐发表在一个 区块链的生态系统上。她称其为菌丝。其中的音乐有着智能协议。音乐保护着她的知识产权。你想要听歌吗?它是免费的,或者会有 几分钱流入数字账户。如果想要在电影中使用这首歌, 那就是另一回事了。知识产权都有详细说明。你想要作为手机铃声? 那也是另一码事。她描述道,歌曲成为了商业。在这个平台上歌曲实现了商业化,保护了作者的权利。并且因为歌曲采用了一种类似于银行账户的支付系统,所有的钱都会到艺术家的手中,他们掌控了行业,而不是由那些强大的中间商所控制。现在

  This is not just songwriters,it’s any creator of content,like art,like inventions,scientific discoveries, journalists.There are all kinds of people who don’t get fair compensation,and with blockchains,they’re going to be able to make it rain on the blockchain.And that’s a wonderful thing.

  不仅仅是歌曲作家,任何形式的创作活动,比如美术,比如发明,科学发现,新闻记者。各行各业的没有得到公平报酬的人,而有了区块链,他们将在区块链上得到滋润。那样可真棒。

  So, these are five opportunitiesout of a dozento solve one problem, prosperity,which is one of countless problems that blockchains are applicable to.

  这只是十几种机遇中的5种,来解决一个问题:繁荣。区块链可以应用于无数问题,它只是其中之一。

  Now, technology doesn’t create prosperity, of course -- people do.But my case to you is that, once again,the technology genie has escaped from the bottle,and it was summoned by an unknown person or personsat this uncertain time in human history,and it’s giving us another kick at the can,another opportunity to rewrite the economic power gridand the old order of things,and solve some of the world’s most difficult problems,if we will it.

  当然,科技不创造繁荣, 而是由人创造。但是我只是再次表示,科技的精灵已从瓶中逃出,受到一位或几位不知名的人士召唤在人类历史上这个不确定的阶段,它给了我们一次尝试,另一个改写经济权利网络和旧秩序的机会并且只要我们愿意,可以解决一些世界上最麻烦的问题。

  Thank you.

  谢谢。
