Bitcoin bifurcation benefits Ethereum

1. In May 2017, investors and onlookers saw bitcoin worth more than $2300. This number marks the highest price of bitcoin in its entire career. Due to the success of bitcoin in the past few years, many investors are attracted by it and other cryptocurrencies
however, bitcoin is not the only cryptocurrency with rising value. The value of another cryptocurrency called Ethereum has been increasing since January 2017. From $8.24 to $203. Up 2367%
investors are worried that in the past few years, cryptocurrencies have gained the favor of many investors who are looking for other investment methods than traditional ones. Although most investors still invest their money in traditional financial markets, such as the stock market and foreign exchange market, many of these investors have begun to worry about the economic climate of the world economy
recent events have made us aware of the instability of traditional financial markets such as the stock market and foreign exchange market. Many investors have been looking for other ways to invest their money
with the creation and popularization of cryptocurrency and its rapidly rising value, many investors, especially those from Asia, have joined the trend of bitcoin and cryptocurrency
advantages of Ethereum
although many people are more familiar with it, Ethereum has also gained a fair share of the market with its own value. However, there are key differences between the blockchains used by Ethereum and bitcoin
the difference between the two systems is that Ethereum's data processing speed is faster than that of bitcoin, because once agreed, Ethereum's system will automatically apply to the terms and conditions in the contract
although many people may think that Ethereum may be inferior to bitcoin because its value is lower than bitcoin, this is a good thing for investors who are looking for investment channels other than bitcoin. A lower price may attract more investors because it has more room for growth. The only drawback is that Ethereum is not as established as bitcoin. In view of this, bitcoin is more secure than Ethereum<
not as volatile as before
since bitcoin was founded in 2009, cryptocurrencies have made great achievements, and they have continued to grow. In fact, the value of legal cryptocurrency has risen a lot since then
although cryptocurrencies have performed very well this year, analysts expect that when the economic situation is good, investors will leave cryptocurrencies and return to traditional investment media. When this happens, the volatility of cryptocurrency will decrease because of the decrease of demand
of course, we will still see the growth of cryptocurrency in the next few years, which will help the instry remain strong. When that happens, it's a good idea for investors to hold cryptocurrencies for future growth.

Q: What is bitcoin bifurcation and why

A: the reason why bitcoin bifurcates is that the underlying technology of bitcoin is blockchain. Some people begin to think that bitcoin's block capacity is too small and there are always congestion. So they ask for bitcoin's upgrade and expansion. Some people think that bitcoin's function is too single and its future development is not optimistic, So these people ask bitcoin to have the function of building DAPP (decentralized application), and some support it, while others oppose it. This kind of divergence can be understood as the bifurcation of bitcoin

Q: the classification of bitcoin bifurcation

A: there are two kinds of bifurcations of bitcoin, one is soft bifurcations, the other is hard bifurcations, so what is soft bifurcations

Q: the formation principle of soft bifurcation

A: soft fork refers to optimizing and modifying bugs in the original bitcoin network to improve the capacity of the block, such as 2m, 4m or 8m, 16m. The segwit lightning network is the mainstream solution, which is equivalent to a traffic jam on the main road, and the development team will build an auxiliary road to help the main road to divert congestion

this is a mild solution, which can make the original bitcoin network compatible with the network after soft bifurcation, and the main transaction of bitcoin is still on the main chain

Q: disadvantages of soft bifurcation

A: of course, there are disadvantages of soft bifurcation, that is, it can only solve the temporary congestion problem, and after the implementation of soft bifurcation, it can only keep the network unobstructed for a few years. In the future, it needs continuous expansion, which has an impact on the stability of the system

Q: what is hard bifurcation and its formation principle

A: another solution is hard fork, which means to upgrade the bitcoin system again, change the height of the block completely in the form of code, and take bitcoin unlimited as the mainstream solution. Generally speaking, it is equivalent to a traffic jam on the main road. We directly abandon this road and find a place to build a three-dimensional transportation hub on the ground and underground. All new cars use this transportation system, which changes the block size of the bitcoin network and optimizes the processing speed of the network

Q: what are the disadvantages of hard bifurcation

A: but hard bifurcations also have disadvantages, that is, they are not compatible with the original bitcoin system, which requires all people in the bitcoin network to support hard bifurcations. If some people do not support hard bifurcations, there will be two versions of bitcoin network, which will proce two bitcoins. The blockchains of the two bitcoins form a competitive relationship, This kind of internal friction will lead to greater price volatility and uncertainty of bitcoin's future situation

Q: a classic case of bitcoin bifurcation

A: Eth and etc are typical cases of hard bifurcation. The Dao project is a crowdfunding project initiated by slock.it, a blockchain Internet of things company. It was officially released in May 2016. As of June of that year, the Dao project has raised more than $160 million. It wasn't long before the Dao project was targeted by hackers. Because of the huge loopholes in the smart contract, the Dao project was transferred to ether coin with a market value of 50 million US dollars

in order to recover the assets of many investors and stop the panic, vitalik buterin, the founder of Ethereum, finally proposed the idea of hard bifurcation, and finally completed the hard bifurcation in block 1920000 of Ethereum through a majority vote of the community, rolling back all the Ethereum coins occupied by hackers

even though Ethereum hard bifurcates into two chains, some people who believe in the tamper proof property of blockchain still stay on the original chain of Ethereum classic. Today, Ethereum (ETH) and Ethereum classic (etc) are ranked in the top 20 in the global cryptocurrency market value, which is one of the reasons why they are regarded as classic cases in the field of hard bifurcations

Q: the difference and influence between soft bifurcation and hard bifurcation

A: for users, soft forking will not proce new bitcoin currency. They only need to understand the transaction mode and K-line characteristics of bitcoin. They only need a mainstream wallet of bitcoin

hard bifurcation will generate new currencies, and there may be more than one new currency. Once the core code of bitcoin is modified and the core code of bitcoin is reconstructed, there may be a second time for the first time, and btc1 and btc23456789 may all happen. Users will be confused. Which kind of coin would be better for me to trade? What kind of bitcoin do I use to pay for a large circulation range? In short, users with dyschooia will crash. Moreover, users need to download wallets of different hard bifurcated systems, which brings complex operation to save and pay bitcoin

however, correspondingly, the user's right to choose has also increased. You can choose the bitcoin code developed by the development team you like and trust. When the bifurcations of bitcoin are not clear, when the soft bifurcations start to activate and the computing power starts to vote, the best way for users to deal with it is to wait and see. Don't recharge and extract bitcoin in the process of bifurcation

in addition, soft fork will change the settlement mode of bitcoin all nodes, and some small settlement will be confirmed by the third party node, namely settlement channel. The settlement channel may incur part of the service charge. Similar to the role and business model of UnionPay

what is bitcoin bifurcation? The difference and influence of soft bifurcation and hard bifurcation

3.

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 bifurcation

soft 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

In the discussion of blockchain, bitcoin and other digital currencies, we often hear the word "bifurcation". So what is bifurcation? What is the effect of bifurcation

blockchain

before talking about bifurcation, popularize a little knowledge of blockchain, so as to help us understand what bifurcation is more easily (if you don't have any concept of blockchain, please read my previous articles, which are all popular words to help you understand what blockchain is)

blockchain, as the name suggests, is a chain composed of blocks. Of course, this kind of chain is just a figurative metaphor. To put it bluntly, data blocks are connected orderly. In bitcoin, the transaction records of bitcoin are stored in the block. The size of the block and the space occupied by the transaction records determine how many transactions can be stored in a block. These transaction records are packaged into blocks, and then the blocks are connected one by one to form a blockchain

We know that bitcoin software, like other software, needs to be updated and modified regularly in order to make it better. So a new version will appear, but not everyone will download the new version, so one miner will run the old version, and some will run the new version. If the old and new versions are not compatible, the blockchain will bifurcate. Because there may be differences between the version blocks and the old version blocks, they cannot be connected to the same blockchain, so there will be two or even more chains, which is called bifurcation

soft forking

soft forking refers to that when the new consensus rules are released, nodes that have not been upgraded will proce illegal blocks because they do not know the new consensus rules, resulting in temporary forking. This kind of bifurcation will be graally repaired with the upgrading of nodes

hard fork

hard fork refers to the permanent divergence of the blockchain. After the release of the new consensus rules, some nodes that have not been upgraded cannot verify the blocks proced by the upgraded nodes, and usually hard fork occurs. Therefore, in the field of digital currency, hard bifurcation often leads to the emergence of new currencies. For example, the hard bifurcation of Ethereum led to the emergence of eth

What is bifurcation? What is bitcoin bifurcation

5. Bitcoin and Ethereum are both digital currencies. Bitcoin ranks first in market value, followed by Ethereum. After registering with the bitnet exchange, you can invest in them.

6. I think, Ethereum, reborn, dasey, Leyte, bitcoin, cash is better

7. From the perspective of currency, bitcoin is a real monetary system, with a fixed total amount (21 million), while ether coin is not fixed from the perspective of currency, and can be issued as needed, so there is no upper limit for ether coin. Bitcoin will continue to deflate in the long run, while ether, like the current legal currency system, will continue to inflate. So from the perspective of cryptocurrency itself, bitcoin will continue to increase in value, while ether may not (mainly depending on its circulation).

8. It's got to be in the expeditionary mission, but it needs the protagonist to be above level 35 to do the expeditionary mission.

9. Bitcoin has a lot of room for appreciation, because it is the largest virtual currency, with higher popularity and wider acceptance in the world

10. The people's Bank of China, the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission, the China Securities Regulatory Commission and the State Administration of foreign exchange concted regulatory interviews with the actual controller, chairman and general manager of ant group. On November 3, the Shanghai Stock Exchange announced that the above major events may cause ant group not to meet the issuance conditions, listing conditions or information disclosure requirements. According to the relevant provisions of the administrative measures for the registration of initial public offering of shares on the science and technology innovation board (Trial Implementation) and the audit rules for the issuance and listing of shares on the science and Technology Innovation Board of Shanghai Stock Exchange, the listing of ant group was postponed. In this regard, Zhang Zixue, a professor at the school of civil business, economics and law of China University of political science and law, believes that the decision of the exchange to suspend the listing of ant group is both necessary and reasonable< There is sufficient institutional basis

Zhang Zixue believes that for the treatment of situations that may have a significant impact on the issuance and listing of shares, relevant institutional rules of the registration system of the scientific and technological innovation board, such as the administrative measures for the registration of the initial public offering of shares on the scientific and technological innovation board (Trial Implementation) and the examination rules for the issuance and listing of shares on the scientific and Technological Innovation Board of Shanghai Stock Exchange, have been arranged. According to these regulations, the exchange should make a decision to suspend the listing of ant group

first of all, Article 26 of the administrative measures for the registration of initial public offering of shares on the science and technology innovation board (for Trial Implementation) stipulates the reporting obligations of the issuer and the sponsor to the exchange and the ty of the exchange to deal with major matters in a timely manner after the CSRC makes the registration decision and before the listing and trading of the issuer's shares; Article 27 stipulates the measures that the CSRC can take

secondly, the review rules for the issuance and listing of shares on the science and Technology Innovation Board of Shanghai Stock Exchange further clarify the responsibilities of the exchange in dealing with major matters before listing. First, before the listing and trading of stocks, if major events occur, the issuer and its sponsor shall report to the exchange in time and update the application documents for listing as required; The sponsor and securities service institution of the issuer shall continue to perform e diligence ties and submit special verification opinions to the exchange. Second, from the time when the Listing Committee deliberates to the time when the shares are listed for trading, if a major event occurs, which has a significant impact on whether the issuer meets the issuance conditions, listing conditions or information disclosure requirements, the issuance and listing examination institution of the exchange shall decide whether to re submit it to the Listing Committee for deliberation after re examination; If it is submitted to the Shanghai municipal Party Committee for deliberation again, it shall report to the CSRC. Third, from the time when the CSRC makes the registration decision to the time when the shares are listed for trading, if there are major events that may cause the issuer to fail to meet the issuance conditions, listing conditions or information disclosure requirements, the issuer shall suspend the issuance; If it has been issued, its listing shall be postponed; If the exchange finds that the issuer has the above circumstances, it has the right to request the issuer to suspend listing.
