从货币形态演变和区块链特征看技术信任的崛起

The Rise of Technical Trust Seen from the Perspective of Currency Evolution and the Features of Blockchain

作为承载人们交易信任的货币在其演变过程中由有形转变为无形,随着比特币以及以比特币为原型的其他种类数字货币的全球化使用,传统社会中的人际信任模式被逐渐颠覆。区块链技术以其智能合约、去中心化、公开验证、代码开源、可追溯、防篡改、匿名性等特性简化了社会信任的过程,让更多人对区块链技术产生社会信任感。人们对技术系统的信任已经超过对专家系统的信任,技术信任从社会信任模式中脱颖而出,从此技术信任模式开始崛起,社会信任模式进入技术信任的时代。技术信任形成的“智能平台”与“新型社区”都借助区块链技术社会化给社会各领域带来巨大变革,技术信任崛起之后快速成为当前社会结构的底层逻辑,我们必须很好地掌控它的未来走向。

As a vehicle of people’s transaction trust,currency has changed from the tangible to the intangible in its evolution.With the global use of Bitcoin and other digital currencies modeled on Bitcoin,the mode of interpersonal trust in traditional society has been gradually subverted.Blockchain technology simplifies the process of social trust with its unique characteristics such as smart contracts,decentralization,public verification,code open source,traceability,tamper-proof,anonymity,etc.Now,more and more people have a sense of social trust in blockchain technology.People’s trust in technical systems has exceeded their trust in expert systems.Technical trust has excelled and has dominated the mode of social trust,so much so that we can be said to have entered the era of technical trust.The“intelligent platform”and“new type of community”formed by technical trust have brought about great changes to all walks of life with the socialization of blockchain technology,and the rise of technical trust has quickly become the underlying logic of the current social structure.Therefore,we must keep good control of its future direction.
