What can bitcoin account for
{rrrrrrr}
bitcoin (BTC) is a digital currency with a total amount of 21 million. It has the characteristics of decentralization, globalization and anonymity, just like the Internet. It means that transferring bitcoin to the other end of the earth is as simple as sending e-mail, low-cost and unlimited. Bitcoin is also used in cross-border trade, payment, remittance and other fields
the liquidity and limitation of bitcoin determine that bitcoin can act as a monetary function equivalent to general equivalent, or as a measure of money, but this measure is not a physical measure like gold, but a digital proct
related concepts:
1. Address
the address of bitcoin world looks like this. The address itself is just a string of codes, just like your bank account number 321 million 3288372, which is used to mark an account. Everyone can have countless addresses. The address is public
2. The bank records how much money there is in the bank account
the amount of money in the bitcoin address is recorded by the whole bitcoin network. Each complete bitcoin data will record how many bitcoins are stored in this address
each node participating in the bitcoin network can save a complete of bitcoin data, and everyone has a backup on hand to prevent counterfeiting
3. The key (private key)
the key is another string of characters you only know. The key is used to operate the money in the bitcoin address. Key and address are the relationship between a key and a lock. Each address has only one password, and each password also operates a bitcoin address
with the key, you can control the money in the bitcoin address and pay to anyone. The key should be absolutely safe. The lost or deleted key can never be found, and the money in the corresponding bitcoin address can never be used
the key needs to be kept absolutely secret. Anyone who knows the key can steal all your bitcoin
4. Wallet
the transaction process of bitcoin will involve a lot of complex calculations. In order to simplify the operation, we have made wallets. The wallet has client software on the computer, and also has an online web version. The function of the wallet is to pay with a little touch, and the complicated calculation behind it is left to the wallet to complete
5. Security
if you use the computer client software, you can recommend multibit or bitcoin QT. Both are official software recommendations for the bitcoin community. The installation of these two softwares must be downloaded directly from the official website, and the check code must be checked before and after downloading. This is to prevent someone from tampering with wallet software and stealing keys
6. Mining
about every 10 minutes, some new bitcoin will appear in the bitcoin network, which can be imagined as throwing money in the sky. Whose pocket these scattered money fall into mainly depends on whose computer calculates fast. The faster you calculate, the more likely you are to find the money. Mining is to use the computer to calculate, to pick up the money< br />
in the bitcoin network, each node with a client installed has a distributed database to manage bitcoin proction, transaction, query account balance records, and update and record the latest records of changes in the bitcoin system
when you want to send 10 bitcoins to your friends. You need two things, one is the bitcoin address, the other is the corresponding private key. Bitcoin addresses are different from bank accounts. You don't need to sign a bunch of documents to apply for them. They are randomly generated, just a string of letters and numbers. The private key is also a similar string, but this is strictly confidential. The bitcoin address is like a transparent piggy bank. Everyone can see what's in it, but only the person with the private key can open it.
after you send the transaction application, the surrounding nodes will check whether your account has 10 bitcoins. If there are, they will agree to the transaction, and broadcast the message to the nearby nodes, which will be transmitted from one to ten, and from ten to 100, Soon the whole network will confirm the transaction information and write it to the block. Your friend will receive 10 bitcoins, and the transaction will be completed.
if you want to send small bitcoins, in theory, digital currency can be cut infinitely. At present, the smallest bitcoin unit is called "Nakamoto Tsung", which is equivalent to 0.00000001 bitcoins.
unlike all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on a specific currency institution to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity

bookkeeping is done by miners
generally speaking, the correct result of Distributed Accounting is decided by the vote of "miners"
if you have a 51% pool, you can theoretically void any transaction (roll back). This is called a 51% attack
now bitcoin miners are distributed all over the world. The world's largest mine pool is in China, and the person in charge of bitcoin has promised that its total power will not exceed 50% (now about 30%), so there is no possibility of 51% attack for the time being
but it can't be said to conquer
