Bitcoin and electricity theft

1.

1. The concept range is different. bitcoin is a kind of digital currency, and the concept of digital currency covers bitcoin

However, some digital currencies have independent issuers

The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total quantity of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million

digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy. Bitcoin is a digital currency

digital currency is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. The early digital currency (digital gold currency) is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold

today's digital currencies, such as bitcoin, lettercoin and ppcoin, are electronic currencies created, issued and circulated by means of check sum cryptography. It is characterized by the use of P2P peer-to-peer network technology to issue, manage and circulate currency. In theory, it avoids bureaucratic examination and approval, so that everyone has the right to issue currency

illegal digital currency

in recent years, "virtual currency" represented by bitcoin, Ethernet currency and Leyte currency has been traded centrally on some Internet platforms. With the help of financial technology, the price of these "currencies" has graally spread to investment, financing and other financial fields, which has aroused wide attention from all walks of life

not long ago, the people's Bank of China and other seven ministries and commissions jointly issued the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which clearly regulated the relevant behaviors. Experts pointed out that "virtual currency" is not legal tender (legal currency) issued by monetary authorities, but a specific virtual commodity in essence

therefore, it is undoubtedly a great legal and economic risk to think that "virtual currency" has or will have the nature of legal tender and to carry out speculation, network fund-raising, lending and financing

2. All of them are deceiving. Many people have been cheated. Don't believe them. There is no free lunch, and there will be no pie in the sky

3. Because bitcoin is based on workload proof, it is related to computing power. To have computing power, we need to consume power, so its power consumption is very large. It is precisely because of such a large power consumption that the safe and stable operation of bitcoin system can be guaranteed. "“ According to the data of btc.com website, up to now, the computing power of the whole bitcoin network is about 51.65eh/s, which is equivalent to 1.84 million bitcoin S15 (28T computing power, 1596w power) mining machines in operation, and the daily power consumption is about 69.92 million kwh. Divided by the current proction of 1800 bitcoins per day, excluding other costs, each bitcoin consumes 38800 kwh of electricity
previously, graphics cards were sold out because of the strong purchase of gold miners. The algorithm design of bitcoin is more and more difficult to dig. Therefore, the investment to dig the same bitcoin now is many times higher than a few years ago. Since the "mining" incident in Daqing Oilfield was exposed, the local police have counted the number. The average electricity cost of the mining machine seized is close to 500000 yuan in one month, and if it steals electricity, it is equivalent to making 500000 yuan in vain.

It's not against the law

The laws and administrative regulations in China do not prohibit the proction, holding and legal circulation of bitcoin, nor do they prohibit the sale of bitcoin mining machines

2. The investment and transaction of "virtual currency" represented by bitcoin are on the rise. For this kind of virtual goods generated in the Internet environment after the development of Internet technology, there are policy and commercial risks in related transactions. However, under the premise of not violating the mandatory provisions of laws and administrative regulations, the contract signed by the parties is a valid contract

3. Bitcoin is generated by "miner" and "mining", and "miner" can be assumed by anyone in any place in the world. "Mining" is a process in which "miner" provides certain computer computing power according to the open source software provided by the designer, and obtains the special solution of the equation through complex mathematical operations, The miner who gets the special solution gets a certain amount of bitcoin reward

Because bitcoin is based on workload proof, it is related to computing power. To have computing power, we need to consume power, so its power consumption is very large. It is precisely because of such a large power consumption that the safe and stable operation of bitcoin system can be guaranteed

extended information:

according to the data of btc.com website, up to now, the computing power of the whole bitcoin network is about 51.65 eh / s, which is equivalent to 1.84 million bitcoin S15 (28T computing power, 1596w power) mining machines in operation, and the daily power consumption is about 69.92 million kwh. Divided by the current proction of 1800 bitcoins per day, excluding other costs, each bitcoin will consume 38800 kwh of electricity. "

from this point of view, although the current price of bitcoin is expensive, the cryptocurrency market website coinmarketcap.com shows that the current unit price is about $7900, but the cost of mining a bitcoin is not low at all

6. It's very strange that you ask this question. Why does no one care? Atomic currency is given to users free of charge in China through app registration, playing atomic games, advertising and so on. People have said that China and the United States do not sell it. What's the problem with no sale transaction? Moreover, atomic currency issuers are from foreign countries.

7. Every website has a network snapshot. On the Internet search, there is a downward triangle △ icon behind the URL. If you put the pointer on the triangle icon, a report will come out, and you can click report to enter

8. Bitcoin wallets are not registered. You only need to download one. However, the synchronization of the wallets will be very slow, and the wallets will take up more than 15GB of space. Therefore, if the amount is not large, it is easier to have a trading platform
