Reliance is planning to launch its own cryptocurrency named JioCoin, which just reminds us of the
very famous or infamous BitCoin.
Reliance Jio has announced that it will build a team of 50 young professionals
to work on Blockchain technology. But before we discuss any further on this first
lets discuss what is Cryptocurrency and BlockchainTechnology :
·
Cryptocurrency : It is a
digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange that uses cryptography
to secure its transactions, to control the creation of additional units and to
verify the transfer of assets. Cryptocurrencies are classified as a subset of
digital currencies, alternative currencies and virtual currencies.
·
Blockchain :
Originally block chain, is a continuously
growing list of records,
called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography. Each
block typically contains a hash pointer
as a link to a previousblock, a timestamp and
transaction data. By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification
of the data. It is an open, distributed
ledger that
can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and
permanent way.Once recorded the data in any given block cannot be altered
retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks, which requires
collusion of the network majority. Block chain technology is used for all
cryptocurrency transactions.
We
all know about Bitcoin - created in
2009, was the first decentralized cryptocurrency. The rise of Bitcoin has been
meteoric over the years, it touched 20,000 dollar mark last year and is said to
double in value in 2018. With only 21 million Bitcoins to be ever produced the
demand is gone through the roof, and mining for 'Satoshi' the smallest unit of
Bitcoin has already started, each Bitcoin can be divided into 100 million
Satoshi. Since Bitcoin, many other Cryptocurrencies have been launched or
launching, 'PETRO' announced in 2017 is the first centralised cryptocurrency
backed by the Venezuela Government. The very infamous prophecy about BitCoin
has turned out to be true when people who were under the impression of handling
it were not keen where to invest as the world’s leading agencies and invest
firms were at their wit’s end about it.
Coming
back to JioCoin, after disrupting telecom industry with its free offers and
hyper-competitive tariffs, Reliance Jio wants to foray into Blockchain
technology and will be headed by Akash Ambani. The company plans to work on
various Blockchain products like smart contracts and supply chain management
logistics, and JioCoin is one of these applications. The company also plans to
get into Internet of Things (IoT)
and Blockchain technology will come in handy there as it provides shield
against data tempering. Well how much JioCoin can achieve remains to be seen
but the possibilities are virtually endless.
