Bitcoin protocol
{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 />
Similar to futures contract, it is a trading method proposed by bitstar
the leverage of bitcoin virtual contract is shown as the leverage stability of the revenue level of legal currency: if you invest US $100, the revenue you can get = US $100 * the rise and fall of bitcoin * the fixed leverage ratio
assuming that the current price is 500usd / BTC, an investor can buy a BTC at the current price, and the principal is 500usd. At this time, the investor can make 50 more BTC virtual contracts
at this time, if the price of BTC rises to US $750, or 50%, the investor's contract income is 3.3333 BTCs, which can be sold at the current price to get us $2500, and the income is five times of the principal investment
bitcoin futures provided by bitcoin exchanges are usually traded in bitcoin. Futures is opposite to spot. Spot is a commodity that can be paid and delivered at the same time. In fact, futures is not "goods", but an agreement (contract) - futures contract that promises to deliver "goods" (subject matter) at a future time
extended data:
futures contract is an agreement that the buyer agrees to receive certain assets at a specific price after a specified period of time, and the Seller agrees to deliver certain assets at a specific price after a specified period of time. The price that both parties agree to use in future trading is called futures price
the specified date on which both parties must conct transactions in the future is called settlement date or delivery date. The assets agreed to be exchanged by both parties are called "subject matter". If an investor gains a position in the market by buying a futures contract (i.e. agreeing to buy at a future date), it is called long position or long in futures
On the contrary, if the position obtained by investors is to sell the futures contract (i.e. bear the contract responsibility to sell in the future), they are short positions or short on the futuresthe basis of bitcoin contract
bitcoin contract refers to a contract that can be traded without actually owning bitcoin. It is very different from the currency transaction which can only be carried out with the actual holding of digital currency
bitcoin contracts enable you to predict the price trend of bitcoin and hedge risks. This way of trading means that you are investing in price trends, not the assets themselves
when trading bitcoin contracts, you can decide whether to be short or long. Choosing long means that you expect the price of bitcoin to rise. On the other hand, choosing to short means that you expect prices to fall
leveraged trading
one of the characteristics of bitcoin contracts is that it can choose to trade with high leverage ratio. Using leverage means that you don't have to invest 100% of the transaction amount in a contract transaction. Instead, you only need to deposit the initial margin, which is only a small part of the total contract value
leveraged trading allows you to have a large exposure with a small amount of funds while managing risks
perpetual contracts
although there are many different types of contracts, this paper mainly focuses on perpetual contracts. As the name suggests, these contracts have no expiration date. Traders who are long or short with perpetual contracts can hold positions indefinitely unless the contract bursts, which means that they will not suffer more losses than the initial margin
in the perpetual contract, the pricing of bitcoin is based on a specific index price. The index price is based on the average price of bitcoin in multiple currency markets
bitcoin contract has become a very popular trading tool. Many traditional investors are not ready to allocate their money to digital assets, but still want to benefit from attractive price fluctuations, and contract trading opens the door for them
if you want to open bitcoin contract trading, you need to find the exchange that provides contract trading. AAX platform provides you with bitcoin contract trading services in a compliant and secure environment
the system supports sending payments between users without the need to go through a central authority (such as a bank or payment gateway). It is created and saved electronically. Bitcoins are not printed like dollars or euros - they are free software proced and used by computers around the world
generally speaking, you need professional knowledge to tell you
1. It can solve the problems that other public chains can't solve, that is, the value. The infrastructure of the public chain is mature, not to mention the future
2, block transmission is the fastest, from second to second
3. The wallet can store bitp, BTC, Eth and other multi clock currencies and realize Flash cash, cross chain, and players in the coin circle don't need to download multiple wallets
4, multi address generation, currency mixing technology, to achieve two-way anonymity
5, beyond the Ethernet 2.0 BPOs four main node mining
6. For the second truly decentralized public chain native coin, the project side only has 1% in the first year, and the price voice is given to all consensus makers
7. Now is the stage of consensus building to grab the original currency. The mode is free and humanized, with high viscosity and low wastage rate
8, low-key and practical operation, step by step on the time node, seamless closed-loop, unlimited growth space.
On the 23rd Beijing time, a former Goldman Sachs banker planned to launch a digital currency platform to make it easier for investors to short between cryptocurrencies, which is likely to make this emerging financial market more mainstream
the so-called repo is common in the financial system, usually with banks as the main body of transactions, involving several trillion dollars
cryptocurrency holders, whether institutions or indivials, will be able to make loans and profits through the oxygen platform. In return, they will receive another cryptocurrency as collateral until the borrowed currency is recovered. Borrowers then get the cryptocurrency they want to use or trade in the short term
oxygen also allows investors to short cryptocurrencies like hedge funds
