the concept was proposed by Satoshi Nakamoto in 2008 [4] [9] [10]. Then, based on the concept of openness, peer-to-peer, consensus and active participation, combined with the working mode of open source software and block cipher in cryptography, he developed an operating system for bitcoin issuance, trading and account management on the platform of P2P peer-to-peer network and distributed database. The system enables all nodes throughout the peer-to-peer network to reach a network agreement according to their seed files, so as to ensure fairness, security and reliability in currency issuance, management and circulation. And promised that bitcoin will become "e-cash" similar to e-mail. It can avoid inflation without examination and approval, and everyone has the right to issue it; After the payment is completed, the user loses the ownership of the bitcoin. On January 3, 2009, 50 bitcoins came out
unlike traditional currencies, bitcoin's operation mechanism does not rely on the support or credit guarantee of the central bank, the government and enterprises, but on the network agreement reached by seed files in the peer-to-peer network. The decentralized and self-improvement monetary system theoretically ensures that no one, institution or government can control the total amount of bitcoin or create inflation. Its total amount of money graally increased at the designed rate, and the increase rate graally slowed down, and finally reached the limit of 21 million in 2140[ 11]
