What is BTC bifurcation good for
Publish: 2021-05-05 13:57:02
1.
The capacity of a block in bitcoin is 1m (megabytes). A transaction is between 250 and 500 bytes
according to this algorithm, a block contains about 4194.3 transactions
the confirmation time of a block in bitcoin is 10 minutes, so the seven transactions that a block can process per second may sometimes be less than seven
What are the consequences The bifurcations of 
bitcoin are divided into hard bifurcations and soft bifurcations
hard fork means that when the block format or transaction format of bitcoin changes, the UN upgraded nodes refuse to verify the blocks proced by the upgraded nodes
the upgraded nodes can verify the blocks proced by the non upgraded nodes, and they continue the chain they think is correct, so they are divided into two chains
What is soft bifurcationsoft bifurcation means that when the data structure of bitcoin transaction changes,
UN upgraded nodes can verify the blocks proced by upgraded nodes,
and upgraded nodes can also verify the blocks proced by UN upgraded nodes
2. First you need to understand what bifurcation is. Theoretically, any miner can disperse bitcoin. Since BCH bifurcates successfully, it bifurcates BCD, BCD, BTG, fbtc, LBTC, BCX, SBTC, b2x and so on. There is a furcation boom. It's not hard to split bitcoin. A lot of people often cheat under the guise of bitcoin. It can be said that the bifurcations of bitcoin are complete only in the community of BC H. To put it to the extreme, most of the forks go back to zero. Don't believe too much in the news of circle B. The most important thing here is deception. I hope I can help you.
3. Bitcoin bifurcation has little impact on ordinary users, and ordinary users don't care whether bitcoin should be bifurcated or not
bitcoin bifurcations are mainly divided into two types: hard bifurcations and soft bifurcations
the main supporters of hard bifurcations are China's bitcoin community, bitcoin Jesus, Gavin and other bigwigs. That is to say, the expansion faction insists on large blocks, does not expand the main chain, and nothing else. Hard bifurcation has the risk of splitting bitcoin, but once the main chain is split, it will kill the small chain coin
the main supporters of soft bifurcation are the core team and the BS company behind it. The main chain does not change and the functions of the main chain are distributed to the side chain. This will develop bitcoin into a better settlement system, but the main chain will be graally marginalized. Some people doubt that this is to kill bitcoin and benefit some companies.

4. If you have bitcoin, it's a good thing for you, because as long as the bifurcation is successful, your property will increase. If you don't have bitcoin, I don't recommend you to buy it, because it's rubbish and nobody wants it
5. Fork coin, as the name suggests, comes from the concept of "fork" in blockchain. The early bifurcations of bitcoin were a compromise solution to the problem of bitcoin block expansion
bifurcation means an incomplete upgrade of bitcoin. After upgrading, some UN upgraded nodes refuse to verify the blocks proced by the upgraded nodes, but the upgraded nodes can verify the blocks proced by the UN upgraded nodes, thus splitting the two chains
nowadays, there is a flood of counterfeit coins in the market, which are actually some bifurcated coins
a typical split coin operation is to announce a split coin and give each user a special new "split coin" or "candy" in a ratio of 1:1
after users generally get the new currency after the split, there will be a natural demand for trading. At this time, public opinion can be guided, and the huge number of users and trading demand force the exchange to put on the currency
after the currency is put on the exchange, the holders of the forked currency first use a certain amount of capital to pull up the forked currency, create the illusion of pursuing, and then sell their "pre g" forked currency for arbitrage
but players can also think that some forked coins are valuable, so they can follow up. Therefore, the exchange of forked coins is also valuable. There are still many such activities, such as bitfinx, coin rise, coin safety, etc.
bifurcation means an incomplete upgrade of bitcoin. After upgrading, some UN upgraded nodes refuse to verify the blocks proced by the upgraded nodes, but the upgraded nodes can verify the blocks proced by the UN upgraded nodes, thus splitting the two chains

7. Bitcoin cash (BCH) is a branch of bitcoin. In fact, in addition to bitcoin cash, bitcoin also has many bifurcated currencies. What does bifurcated currency mean
section one: why do you split up when you don't say a word
the concept of bifurcation originated from bitcoin
as we know, bitcoin trading is based on bitcoin blockchain network (one block by one forms a chain of front and back Association, forming a bitcoin blockchain network). Since a block is a block, it must have capacity (let's fill in the block, it is nothing more than a collection of codes), The size of the block capacity will limit the efficiency of the transaction. If the block capacity is too small, the smaller the number of transactions will be. Once the transaction volume is too large, it will cause congestion
the capacity of bitcoin block is only 1m, and it can hold only 5-7 transactions. In the past, there were relatively few users for bitcoin transactions, so this capacity is no problem. However, with the rise of bitcoin price, more and more users swarmed in, and the bitcoin block could not accommodate so many transactions, resulting in congestion
bitcoin is anxious: slow down, brother Dei, I can't keep up with your trading speed. Hello! Users are also anxious: brother, can you hurry up
this is a big problem, not only because we have limited patience, but also because bitcoin's positioning is currency. As a currency, you should pay and collect money quickly, accurately and ruthlessly. If you are always so slow, when can you realize the currency attribute? So, this is a big problem
of course, the bitcoin community knows the importance of this problem. As for how to solve this problem, the bitcoin community is divided on whether to expand the capacity of bitcoin blocks (as we have just said, it is too little capacity of bitcoin blocks that leads to slow transaction speed and congestion)
the controversy is mainly divided into two camps:
the original development team of bitcoin, led by core, believes that bitcoin is an electronic gold of value storage, which will destroy its core once it is expanded
however, the mining team led by Wu Jihan believes that bitcoin should be a kind of currency with rapid circulation in the future, and it needs to be expanded to solve the problem of transaction congestion. Because of the decentralized nature of the blockchain, no indivial or organization can decide how to "expand" the bitcoin system. Everyone has their own opinions, and their opinions are divided. No one is willing to give in. Therefore, everyone goes their own way. The bitcoin chain has split into BTC and BCH chains, and over time it has evolved into the so-called "bifurcation"
this is the origin of bifurcation
what happens after the second section bifurcates
for blockchain, bifurcation is the change of blockchain protocol, which is similar to upgrading the blockchain to make up for the shortcomings of the system. This is just like our current mobile phone software often prompts you to upgrade
however, we know that blockchain is decentralized. Unlike your mobile software, developers can upgrade when they say so. In the world of blockchain, any modification needs the consensus of all members. No one can decide when to change or how to change the underlying agreement of blockchain
therefore, when the original development team of bitcoin and the miner team have differences, the system will be divided into two parts, and two new systems based on the original blockchain will appear. Everyone has their own problems, and no one can intervene. In this way, the bitcoin system is divided into two chains: BTC and BCH, which are called "bifurcations", and BCH is called bifurcated currency (the bifurcated currency of bitcoin)
in fact, not only BCH, but also bitcoin has many bifurcated coins. Why is BCH the first thing to think of when it comes to bifurcated currencies? This is because BCH is a successful bifurcated currency. When its market value is the highest, it ranks the fourth in the list of cryptocurrencies, next only to bitcoin, Ethereum and EOS
section 3 hard fork and soft fork
let's make a metaphor: if bitcoin system is the trunk of a big tree, then BCH and other fork coins are the branches of the tree. However, bifurcation is not as simple as this metaphor. It can be divided into hard bifurcation and soft bifurcation
first, hard bifurcation: goodbye, never see again
the BCH we mentioned above belongs to hard bifurcation. Hard bifurcation means that nodes using old software can no longer verify blocks proced with new software nodes. If you want to verify, you can only upgrade. After upgrading, it is equivalent to changing the track and running on another new system. Just like BCH to BTC, BCH is a brand new track (a brand new chain), and the coin on this chain is BCH (bitcoin cash). Then, nodes using BCH system can no longer go to BTC network for transaction verification. Hard bifurcations, generally speaking, mean going their own way. There is no intersection any more< Second, soft bifurcation: getting better to meet again
soft bifurcation is opposite to hard bifurcation. Soft bifurcation means that nodes using the old version can verify the blocks proced by nodes using the new version, and nodes using the new version can also verify the blocks proced by nodes using the old version. The two versions are compatible
the way bitcoin upgraded its isolation witness in 2017 is soft bifurcation. In the whole process, it doesn't matter whether we use the old version or the new version, because they are compatible. The new version only solves some problems better. In essence, we are still running on the bitcoin chain, and there is no new coin
to sum up, the difference between soft fork and hard fork is whether nodes using old software can be compatible with nodes using new software. Compatibility is soft fork, while incompatibility is hard fork.

8. As for whether there is token after bitcoin bifurcation, it mainly depends on whether the wallet supports bitcoin bifurcation
as we all know, there are two common types of bitcoin wallets:
first, the network version, which does not need to be downloaded by users, can directly access the wallet platform through a computer or mobile phone, and use bitcoin wallets
Second, the stand-alone version, which needs to be downloaded from the computer (or the lower end of the mobile phone) and installed before it can be used.

9. Although bitcoin continues to encounter "bifurcation", its price is soaring. Recently, the market price of bitcoin has exceeded 8000 US dollars, setting a new historical record.
