区块链技术的价值原则与应用前景

The Value Principle and Application Prospect of Block Chain Technology

区块链本身是技术,它包含但不限于密码学、网络协议、计算机系统、算法和程序设计、交易与支付知识。这种技术形成的区块链系统有着浓厚的"人文社科"色彩、哲学色彩,甚至可以说是一门"人文科技"。区块链技术不仅影响了金融,还有可能影响到政府职能的转变和优化,但是与无政府主义是完全不同的。"智能合约"和"智能节点"有可能进一步开启以科学技术注入社会生活、经济模式,还将引起社会治理和法治建设的深刻变革,为优化法治环境、降低法律成本、推进法治建设服务。区块链技术的设计原则,在很大程度上可以称之为"价值原则",诚信、公正、平等、自由等价值追求在相当深刻的程度上融入这一技术体系,同时也意味着一场以技术手段实现价值追求的"区块链革命"。其社会功能和应用前景的内在支撑和动力之源,是其核心部位潜在的价值原则。公益事业的发展,可能为区块链技术提供发挥作用的广阔舞台。继金融市场之后,医疗健康领域将会成为区块链的第二大应用市场。区块链技术将在共享经济,以至于公共资源共享等诸多领域得以应用。它会实现公开、透明、有效监管。区块链技术的进一步发展,应当以价值理性引领工具理性,在价值取向的选择上更为自觉,让这一技术革命浪潮中的新生事物为人类的福祉和文明的进步做出更大的贡献。

Block chains are technologies that include, but are not limited to, cryptography, network protocols, computer systems, algorithms and programming, transactions and payments. The block chain system formed by this technology has a strong "humanities and social science" color, philosophical color, and even a "humanities science and technology". Block chain technology not only affects finance, but also may affect the transformation and optimization of government functions, but it is completely different from anarchism. The "smart contract" and "intelligent node" will be able to further open the technology of science and technology into the social life and the economic model, and will also cause profound changes in social governance and the construction of the rule of law, in order to optimize the rule of law environment, reduce the legal cost and advance the rule of law construction service. The design principle of block chain technology, to a large extent, can be called "value principle", which is, the pursuit of values such as honesty, justice, equality, freedom and so on are integrated into this technology system to a considerable extent, and at the same time, it also means a "block chain revolution" to realize the value pursuit by technical means. The inner support and motive force of its social function and application prospect are the potential value principle of its core position. The development of public welfare may provide a broad stage for block chain technology to play a role. Following the financial market, the health sector will become the second largest application market in the block chain. Block-chain technology will be applied in many fields, such as sharing economy and public resource sharing. It will be open, transparent and effective. With the further development of block chain technology, tool rationality should be guided by value rationality, and the choice of value orientation should be more conscious, so that the new things in the tide of technological revolution can make greater contribution to the well-being of mankind and the progress of civilization.
