When is bitcoin mining hot

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

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

The most advanced bitcoin mining machine, one to two years to dig out a bitcoin, bitcoin mining is now too difficult. If you want to dig, you can dig ether currency. Now it is steadily appreciating every day. According to the current development trend, it will be able to recover its capital in about seven months, and then it will be profitable< br />

You can't dig in a day. It takes 2000 years

the global unified computing difficulty of bitcoin is 2621404453 (expected to change in two days). It takes more than 2000 years for a 2.5GHz CPU to work out a bitcoin

in order to make the graphics card fully loaded for a long time, the power consumption will be quite high, and the electricity bill will be higher and higher. Many professional mines at home and abroad are operated in areas with extremely low electricity charges, such as hydropower stations, while more users can only mine at home or in ordinary mines, so the electricity charges are not cheap. Even in a certain residential area in Yunnan, there was a case of crazy mining, which led to a large area trip of the residential area, and the transformer was burned

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 can 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

when bitcoin was born in 2009, block rewards were 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25

when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. 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 about 21 million

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

Recently, the price of bitcoin continued to rise, reaching a maximum of US $41000. According to Mr. Liu, the manager of the mine, recently some customers have asked for additional orders, but the output of the mining machinery manufacturers is insufficient and they can't get a large number of mining machinery. Now they have to wait five months or more. Most of his customers have increased their positions in the middle of this year. At present, the prices of mainstream mining machines vary from 30000 to 60000, Mining takes about 12 months to recover the cost

therefore, if people really have mining ideas, they should not be dazzled by the impulse of the moment, and they should try to do it slowly. Today, the price of bitcoin continues to rise, largely because many mainstream investment institutions or investors begin to be interested in digital assets and begin to hoard bitcoin

bitcoin investment has great risks, the phenomenon of sharp rise and fall is not uncommon, and there are not a few people who have lost all their money. Therefore, it is not advisable to follow blindly and keep calm in investment

extended data

bitcoin plummeted by more than 10%:

earlier on January 11, bitcoin once fell to $37000 / piece, the lowest to $35141, and the biggest drop in the day was more than 10%. According to the data of bitcoin home.com, the amount of burst positions in the past 24 hours reached US $1.165 billion (about RMB 7.530 billion), and a total of 115138 people burst positions within 24 hours

for the sudden drop, some netizens said: "what should come will come.". Cautious investors said that such a high position, I first clearance, short about

because the derivatives trading of bitcoin is more and more abundant, many players use band trading. So the timing of admission is no longer important. Even if bitcoin is at the high point, it can make money by shorting. At present, the most abundant domestic derivatives contract trading is okex exchange. However, we must be cautious in doing contract trading. It is suggested that beginners should learn first

that is to say, the mining cost of bitcoin is taken as an indicator to measure whether the value is undervalued or overvalued. The price is determined by the cost. If the mining cost is $1000 and the market price is $1200, there will be at least a profit. If the market price is $800, where will anyone go to mine? Just buy it

in fact, there are loopholes in this statement. It does not consider the impact of supply and demand on prices, nor does it consider the impact of changes in mining technology. It will be mentioned later

is this measure meaningful? The lowest price of bitcoin in the last bear market was 900 yuan. At that time, Wu Jihan revealed that the marginal cost of procing a coin was 800 yuan. From this point of view, the lowest point of bitcoin is close to the cost of miners, and the timing of fixed investment of 900 yuan is very good
