Bitcoin 2012
It was officially born on January 3, 2009
since 2015, the future of bitcoin has become more and more uncertain. On the one hand, bitcoin fell as much as 55.55% against RMB last year; In 2015, bitcoin fell by more than 30% against the RMB in the first half of January alone
bitcoin's "falling" reflects the "self-healing" of its value after "fanaticism" to a certain extent. According to statistics, in 2013, bitcoin rose from 1 ∶ 13.59 to 1 ∶ 731, with an annual increase of 5300%. This speculative driven inflation has affected the virtual currency property on which bitcoin relies
on the one hand, no country has defined it as a legal currency. On the other hand, in 2014, the US dollar rose significantly, and the prices of oil and bulk commodities fell correspondingly. The price trend of bitcoin is the same as that of the latter, becoming part of the asset allocation of some speculators, which highlights that its asset attribute is far greater than the monetary attribute
extended data
Security and credit risk have also become the reasons for the decline of investor confidence. Mt. GOx, once the world's largest bitcoin exchange, claimed in March last year that it had lost all its assets e to hacker attacks. Recently, it was revealed that its lost bitcoin was probably e to internal system manipulation
the regulatory environment of bitcoin is not optimistic, and Russia, Thailand and other countries have begun to implement strict control on it. In addition, the global stock market performed well last year, resulting in the diversion of bitcoin investment funds, and the crazy "mining" activities also rapidly increased the supply of bitcoin, which may lead to a trend of oversupply in the short term, leading to a sharp drop in the price of bitcoin

some malware also make great use of the parallel computing power of graphics cards. In August 2011, botnet of bitcoin mining was discovered, and Mac OS X infected by Trojan horse was also discovered to mine bitcoin.
on June 19, 2011, security vulnerability of mt.gox (Magic: abbreviation of the gathering online exchange) bitcoin trading center caused the price of 1 bitcoin to drop to 1 cent (although other transactions were not affected). The reason is that a hacker stole the user's mtgox certificate from the computer infected with the Trojan horse, so he transferred bitcoin to his own account and sold it, resulting in a large number of "ask" requests at that price. A few minutes later, mtgox shut down and cancelled the abnormal transactions in the hacking incident, making the price of bitcoin rebound back to $15.

More than 43000 stolen bitcoins belong to bitcoinica, a bitcoin trading platform. Another 3094 bitcoins are owned by Marek palatinus, a Czech programmer. Gavin Andersen, the chief bitcoin programmer, also lost his five bitcoins.
The remitter pays bitcoin directly to the recipient's address through a computer or smart phone
bitcoin transaction data is packaged into a "data block" or "block", and the transaction is initially confirmed. When the block is connected to the previous block, the transaction will be further confirmed. After six successive large amount confirmations, this transaction has basically been irreversibly confirmed
bitcoin peer-to-peer network stores all its transaction history in the "blockchain". The blockchain continues to grow, and once new blocks are added to the blockchain, they can no longer be deleted. Blockchain is actually a distributed database, which is composed of a group of scattered customer nodes and all participants. It records the history of all bitcoin transactions
{rrrrrrr}
extended data:
users can buy bitcoin, and then use computers to do a lot of calculations to "mine" them. When users "dig" bitcoin, the computer will search for 64 digit numbers, and then compete with other gold diggers to repeatedly solve the puzzle and provide the number needed by the bitcoin network. If the user's computer successfully creates a set of numbers, it will get 25 bitcoins
From 2012 to 2014, bitcoin swept the world, graally forming a "virtual currency" instry chain represented by bitcoin. This is a reform of the financial instry and a new proct of the combination of the financial instry and the Internet. It represents a financial milestone in the new era and opens a new chapter in the history of the Internet. Bitcoin fund is one of the derivatives represented by bitcoin in the era of "virtual currency" FXCM China said bitcoin fund will open in autumn 2014.

Bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency. 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. Assuming that the mining computing power is 100 mhash / s and the total computing power is 4000 ghash / s per day, 3600 bitcoins can be g out every 24 hours
China's computing power has accounted for more than 75% of the world, that is to say, 75% of bitcoin in the world is made in China. How long does it take to dig a bitcoin
bitcoin used to be very good at "digging", which can be done by ordinary computer CPU, and it can automatically "solve problems" by downloading software. But with the rise of currency price, more and more people want to "solve the problem", and the difficulty of mining is also increasing. Now, the amount of computation needed to dig a bitcoin is beyond the reach of ordinary people. Ordinary computers can't afford it
instry insiders said that in 2014, 100 bitcoins were generated from 500000 yuan of electricity charge per day, and the cost of electricity charge alone was 5000 yuan per coin. But now, the same cost has more than doubled, and the electricity cost of each bitcoin is as high as 10000 yuan
in the generation mechanism of bitcoin, mining reward is decreasing. At the beginning of the birth of bitcoin, the miners could get 50 bitcoins for each page of the ledger, and then 25 bitcoins for each page of the ledger, decreasing in turn. It's like digging gold. At first, it's more and less. The time point at which each new reward is reced by half is called half bitcoin proction
assuming that the mining computing power is 100 mhash / s, the total computing power is 4000 ghash / s per day in 2014, and 3600 bitcoins are g out every 24 hours
now, we can understand the difficulty of bitcoin digging in this way, which is equivalent to 100 million dice throwing numbers less than 100 million and 50 million. Whoever throws them first will get the bookkeeping right. At this point, 1050 million is a hash value. The process of throwing dice is called hash collision. The unit of mining power is the number of hash collisions per second
at present, the computing power of bitcoin in the whole network has reached 2.36 billion hash collisions per second, which is equivalent to the number of water droplets in more than 200000 50 meter long standard swimming pools. But even with such a large amount of computing power, it will take about 10 minutes to hit a hash value that meets the requirements
in 2012, bitcoin's output was halved for the first time, and in July 2016, bitcoin's output was halved for the second time. At present, 12.5 bitcoins are awarded for recording one page of account book. The next halving will take place around 2020, and the total number of bitcoins will not increase by 2040, with a total of 21 million
