Holding bitcoin or no life
Those people are living a good life now, those who played bitcoin in the early days & lt; The pig of tuyere & quot; Made a lot of money
the discussion of bitcoin in many forums is no longer limited to & quot; Is bitcoin a scam;, Instead, it extends to & lt; Can bitcoin become a global currency in my opinion, bitcoin is a full digital bubble. A virtual currency constructed by algorithm has no national support behind it. Moreover, the scarcity of bitcoin will inevitably lead to its appreciation very quickly, especially under the guidance of market economy. behind the currencies used by countries in daily life are endorsements with national prestige, just like the reason why the US dollar circulates around the world is not because the strong national strength of the United States ensures the liquidity of the US dollar Nakamoto's original simple idea of letting bitcoin replace the currencies of various countries and become the object of global circulation is a joke in terms of power struggle between countriesBitcoin, English name bitcoin, is a digital currency based on blockchain technology, which is composed of a series of computer-generated complex codes. Like RMB's ￥ and US dollar's $, bitcoin has its own symbol, the "B" in the figure below
The inventor of
bitcoin is Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator of bitcoin protocol and its related software bitcoin QT. In 2008, he published a paper called "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system", describing an electronic currency and its algorithm that he called "bitcoin"
In 2009, he released the first bitcoin software and officially launched the bitcoin financial system In 2010, he graally faded out and handed over the project to other members of the bitcoin communityNakamoto is believed to hold about one million bitcoins. If the price of each bitcoin was $2W, it was worth $20 billion at one time. So far, his true identity is still unknown to the outside world, that is to say, no one knows who Nakamoto is
bitcoin appeared after the global financial crisis in 2008. In fact, before that, many people have tried electronic currency, digital currency and virtual currency, but they have not succeeded. There are not only technical reasons, but also social environment and economic background reasons. To some extent, it was the 2008 financial crisis that gave birth to bitcoin
bitcoin miners will mine 18 million bitcoins this week, and only the remaining 3 million bitcoins will be released before mining stops in 2140 commentators said at the time that the motivation of hoarding bitcoin came from the curiosity in technology. In view of the current price of BTC / USD, financial incentives reverse the activity of bitcoin hoarding by holders in 2019< br />

legal status of bitcoin in China
in China, the regulations on the administration of RMB prohibit the proction and sale of token tickets. Because there is no clear judicial interpretation of the definition of token ticket, if bitcoin is included in the "token ticket", the legal prospect of bitcoin in China will face uncertainty
the notice of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce on strengthening the management of virtual currency of online games (Wen Shi Fa [2009] No. 20) on June 4, 2009 stated that the application scope of virtual currency of online games was defined for the first time, and the distinction between the current virtual currency of online games and the virtual props in the game was made; At the same time, the notice said that the "notice" stipulates that enterprises engaged in related services must be approved before they can operate< br />
the further development of bitcoin may threaten the interests of traditional currencies, and currency issuers will not cede their rights to an open-source P2P algorithm. So governments are likely to outlaw bitcoin
once governments declare it illegal, it may cause huge fluctuations in its price in the short term. It could be a crash, it could be a surge. Because people at the bottom of the world are obviously resistant to their governments< At the same time, the ban by the government will lead to the closure of bitcoin trading platform. After the closing of the trading platform, bitcoin can only be cashed in private, which will have a great impact on its cashing ability< However, e to the characteristics of bitcoin itself, it provides an excellent channel for officials of various countries to accept bribes, launder money and transfer assets overseas. Especially in the trend that officials of various countries disclose their property, bitcoin provides a good way for them to hold huge property anonymously
from this perspective, some officials may actively promote the legalization of bitcoin< On May 7, 2013, officials from the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) said that they were considering whether the online virtual currency "bitcoin" could be applied to the agency's regulations. CFTC is the highest regulator of the derivatives instry in the United States. Bitcoin is known as a currency independent of traditional authority, and if it is regulated more, it may bring challenges to its supporters
CFTC mainly supervises derivatives contracts. Its responsibilities have been greatly expanded after the financial crisis in 2007-2009, and it also has full power to supervise retail foreign exchange dealers
Bart Chilton, one of the five members of the CFTC, said on Monday that he had asked the committee to consider regulating bitcoin to determine whether consumers need additional protection when using bitcoin[ 15]
the Hong Kong government has approved GBL electronic currency trading center to operate virtual currency exchange business, which will be an important milestone in the development of bitcoin. GBL virtual electronic currency trading center has completed the equity change and has the business scope of virtual electronic currency exchange business.
The so-called option is to predict the future rise and fall. It is not difficult to understand, but it has obvious advantages over futures contracts. For example, the price of bitcoin futures contract fluctuates a lot. If you can't control it well, you will burst every minute, and you need margin and handling charges
but bitcoin options are totally different, just like bitcoin options in bitofer, which have neither margin nor service charge, let alone burst positions, and simply predict the rise and fall. The time cycle is diversified, including 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour and 1 day. You can play at any time. You can make full use of the fragmented time and have higher flexibility. If you don't keep a real-time eye on the contract, it's easy to blow up the position if you are careless
The last is return. Sometimes options are much higher than contracts. Why do you say that? The contract basically depends on leverage. If you have a very low leverage ratio, it will have no effect. For example, if the current price of bitcoin is 10000 points, you think it will fall in the next five minutes. Therefore, you open a five minute put option and consume five usdtsas expected, bitcoin has dropped 500 points in 5 minutes. After 5 minutes settlement, you get 500 usdts, which is equivalent to 100 times leverage return compared with the principal. This is that we think that the bitbuffer option is more in line with the current trend, and it is expected to go online in mid October
