Is bitcoin still the leader
The concept of bitcoin was founded by Nakamoto
On December 12, 2010, when bitcoin graally became a hot topic, he quietly left and disappeared from the Internet As a descendant of samurai, Nakamoto was born in 1949 in Beppu, Japan. His mother, quanzi, was a Buddhist and brought him up in poverty When his parents divorced in 1959, Nakamoto's mother remarried and immigrated to California with her three sons. Nakamoto and his stepfather don't get along well, but according to his younger brother Arthur, Nakamoto showed his talent in mathematics and science when he was very young, but also showed his "fickle and strange interest"Nakamoto graated from Caltech, majoring in physics. Upon graation, he joined Hughes Aircraft and worked in defense and electronic communications. Later, Nakamoto worked for the U.S. military, and his experience was classified as a state secret. Now searching his files, his life is a blank
In 2008, in an e-mail group discussing information encryption on the Internet, he published an article outlining the basic framework of the bitcoin system. In 2009, he established an open source project for the system, officially announcing the birth of bitcoin. On December 12, 2010, when bitcoin graally became the climate, he quietly left and disappeared from the InternetBitcoin, 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
the life of this kind of digital currency is generally very short, and the hype will make money and run away. If you are a risk averse person, you can try it. If not, you'd better not play it. It's suggested to play bitcoin, Ruitai coin, Laite coin and other mainstream digital currencies.
Ordinary computers can choose some coins that are not difficult to mine. At present, the difficulty of mining Monroe coins (XmR) is relatively small. I will explain it from my personal experience

bitcoin is a real currency rather than a quasi currency. Now there is a saying that bitcoin is not a currency, but a quasi currency quasi currency is a kind of asset valued by currency, which can not be directly used for circulation but can be converted into currency at any time. It is mainly composed of bank time deposits, savings deposits and various short-term credit circulation tools. Obviously, bitcoin does not meet the above definition at present, the reason why bitcoin can not be used for shopping in our country is the result of the prohibition of administrative order, which is not caused by its own nature. If we do not consider the restrictions of administrative order, bitcoin can naturally be used for circulation, so bitcoin is real currency rather than quasi currency
and created a website called "bitfaucet", giving five bitcoins to all visitors free of charge, which was worth about 5 cents at that time. This has a significant effect on people's acceptance of bitcoin
later, someone imitated Gavin and established a website similar to bitcoin faucet. On the one hand, they distributed small amount of bitcoin to users visiting the website. On the other hand, because these websites can often get a large number of views, bitcoin faucet websites can earn advertising expenses by diverting the main bitcoin websites
bitcoin faucet websites even form a new business model, and about 50% of bitcoin websites rely on it in the early days.
After the recent price fluctuation of bitcoin, many people who invest in bitcoin have lost money or even burst their positions, which has aroused the attention of many netizens. In fact, these people who lose money or even burst their positions don't hold bitcoin, they just fry bitcoin like futures, so it's inevitable when the price fluctuates. Only those who dig bitcoin are not affected by the price fluctuation
in general, although the price of bitcoin is 45 million times higher than that at the beginning of its birth, because some people invest in bitcoin futures, they will naturally suffer losses and burst positions when the price fluctuates
