This article predicts the three major trends that may explode next year for you

There are still two days until this year is coming to an end, ushering in 2021, especially the explosion of the concept of DeFi, DAO, and NFT this year has made people see another possibility of digital currency. At the same time, "blockchain + finance", "blockchain + industry" "It also began to gradually promote the combination of off-chain scenarios.

Today I will take you to take a look at some areas that may explode next year, because the blockchain is an industry that constantly promotes innovation. Even though Bitcoin was born 12 years ago, it is still in its early days.

Many people start to understand the blockchain from the purchase of Bitcoin, and the use of digital currency has been criticized by people, who think that thousands of digital currencies on the market are just tools for speculation and profit, but this is not the case. Nowadays, many altcoins are doing CX under the banner of blockchain, but some digital currencies with real practical scenarios will still have great application scenarios in the future.

In addition to the blockchain this year, everyone has more or less heard some new concepts such as quantum computing, privacy computing, and edge computing. They are not very related to digital currency, but they are most likely to be combined with the blockchain. digital production tools.

Many forums this year mentioned the combination of industrial Internet, government affairs, supply chain finance and blockchain, and even the Wanxiang Blockchain Summit set up three sub-forums of "Internet of Things", "Finance", and "Industrial Internet". Let people further deepen their understanding of the blockchain.

Therefore, on this basis, some digital currencies derived from industrial practical scenarios may be born. DeFI is the best example.

This is a trend that I predict may emerge. Next, I will make a simple prediction for you from the existing digital currency field.

The first is NFT. Although popular NFT products such as CryptoKitties appeared as early as 2017, they have been tepid. Until September this year, based on NFT, blind boxes, music, art, social, Various NFT-related application products such as sports, games, VR, and AR.

However, it has never received the same attention as DeFi, because its value anchoring and market value have been questioned, but with the outbreak of the game ecology and the access of more and more scenarios, the boundaries of NFT are constantly being questioned. Zooming in, there will only be more NFT-related products next year, or the game will be used as a breakthrough to access more non-currency investors.

The second is the privacy currency. I shared an article about privacy computing before. Due to the increasing public demand for privacy protection and the increasing number of privacy currencies, the continuous change of technology has made this track gradually become a dark horse. Even this year's Wanxiang Blockchain Summit mentioned privacy computing many times, and the Web3 Conference that followed it regarded it as a top priority.

At present, many projects under the Polkadot and Ethereum ecology have started the layout of privacy coins, and there are many projects and public chains related to privacy computing. I believe that next year will definitely become the first year of the outbreak of privacy computing. On the physical side, it's a little too early.

The third is stable currency. Algorithmic stable currency was born after October. It appeared in order to solve the problem of losses caused by price fluctuations of many stable currencies on the market. Currently, USDT, USDC, BUSD, etc. are mainly used in conjunction with the value of the US dollar. All anchored digital currencies are not fully transparent and credible.

Algorithmic stablecoins are only in their infancy, but their appearance has made people more aware of the importance of the stablecoin market. The White House has recently issued a bill on the creation of stablecoins, but next year there may be changes in the stablecoin market In the first year of 2019, the birth of Libra and the stablecoin layout of Andre Cronje, the "coin maniac", are currently known. There are also many project developers and investors who are eyeing stablecoins. It can be seen that stablecoins Not only as a basic tool for barter exchange, but also an indispensable part of ecological construction.

These three are the concepts that I think will have a high probability of appearing in the next year. Of course, DeFi will not disappear. It has become the most indispensable part of the behavior on the chain, and related loans, derivatives, insurance, DEX It will become more mature and build a prosperous blockchain ecosystem.

However, other ecological behaviors on the chain will also continue to emerge, gradually improving this newly emerging world on the chain.
