The root cause of bitcoin
The concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto on November 1, 2008, and was officially born on January 3, 2009. According to the idea of Nakamoto, the open source software is designed and released, and the P2P network on it is constructed. Bitcoin is a virtual encrypted digital currency in the form of P2P. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system. Bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network will get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes. Then bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as block reward to reward the person who gets the answer
unlike all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on a specific currency institution to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity.
warm tips: according to the notice and announcement issued by the people's Bank of China and other departments, virtual currency is not issued by the monetary authority, does not have legal compensation and mandatory monetary attributes, is not a real currency, does not have the same legal status as currency, and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market, Citizens' investment and transaction of virtual currency are not protected by law

historical background
bitcoin is one of the first currencies to realize the concept of "cryptocurrency". In 1998, Wei Dai first expounded the concept of "cryptocurrency" in cypherpunks mailing list. Based on the basic concept of money, which is used to pay for goods, services and debt or any form of records in a given country or economy, bitcoin is a new form of money. Its original design is to integrate the idea of not relying on the central authority, using the principle of cryptography to control the issuance and transaction of money
in 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto published the first bitcoin specification and its proof of concept in the cryptography mailing list. At the end of 2010, Nakamoto claimed that he had transferred to other affairs and left the project. The creator of bitcoin never revealed his true identity, but left his invention to the world. Today, the origin and motivation of the invention of bitcoin is still a mysterious story
since 2010, many developers have devoted themselves to this project, and the bitcoin community has grown rapidly. Between June and July 2011, bitcoin suddenly gained media attention, leading to large-scale buying. The resulting bubble led to the continued decline in the price of bitcoin in the second half of 2011. After that, the price of bitcoin graally rose to the height of 2011
in order to regulate, protect and promote the development of bitcoin, the bitcoin foundation was established on September 27, 2012. Nowadays, with the increasing number of bitcoin users, bitcoin economy is developing rapidly
technical features
any network like bitcoin has the following basic features:
bitcoin can be transferred between any node of the network
the transaction is irreversible
the use of block chain avoids the occurrence of double consumption
the transaction will spread out in a few seconds and pass validation in 10 to 60 minutes
transaction processing and currency issuance are carried out through mining
bitcoin can be received at any time whether it is online or not<
economic rules
the whole bitcoin network jointly implements the following rules:
the total amount of bitcoin issued is about 21 million
a bitcoin can be divided into 8 decimal places, with a total of about 21 × 1014 monetary units
transaction costs are very low and most of them are free
statistics
bitcoin network has been running continuously for more than 48 months. In the past year, bitcoin's security features have attracted attention and developed significantly. As of April 2013:
the longest block chain has more than 232000 blocks
one of the largest distributed computing networks in the world, with more than 65 trillion hashes per second
there are 50000 transactions every day, with a total amount of several million US dollars
the total value of bitcoin in circulation exceeds US $1.3 billion
there is only one major security incident in the protocol, which was resolved in August 2010

It's not surprising that bitcoin has dropped by more than 10%, because bitcoin just rose by more than 20% not long ago, so a 10% drop can only be regarded as a correction, not a drop. But what's the fundamental reason for bitcoin's decline? Now I'd like to talk about my personal views and ideas on the issue of bitcoin for your reference and discussion only
summary of problems
the reason for bitcoin's collapse is that it rose too fast, so it led to a significant correction. It's not surprising. After all, no commodity can continue to rise, and bitcoin is the same. If you think bitcoin can still rise, I won't express my opinion, but you have to think of today's collapse, Because it is very likely that one day, you will also encounter the same slump of 10% or more as today, so investment should be cautious, especially for this kind of virtual investment procts. If you are not careful, you may lose your fortune. The above is my personal views and ideas, for your reference and discussion only
