Seven bitcoins
By the end of July 2020, bitcoin is now 98 yuan
the bitcoin address and private key appear in pairs, and their relationship is just like the bank card number and password. A bitcoin address is like a bank card number, which records how much bitcoin you have on it. You can generate bitcoin address at will to store bitcoin. When each bitcoin address is generated, a corresponding private key of the address will be generated

whenever bitcoin comes into the view of mainstream media, mainstream media always ask some mainstream economists to analyze bitcoin. Earlier, these analyses always focused on whether bitcoin was a scam. Now the analysis is always focused on whether bitcoin can become the mainstream currency in the future. The focus of the debate is often on the deflationary nature of bitcoin
many bitcoin players are attracted by the fact that bitcoin can not be issued at will. The attitude of bitcoin players is quite the opposite, and the attitude of economists is polarized compared with the fixed amount of 21 million bitcoin
the price of bitcoin is always floating, so the price of bitcoin for RMB is always changing. From the beginning, a few years ago, when bitcoin was converted into RMB, it was only one to several, and finally it graally developed to one to more than ten, and then to one to dozens. At this time, it has been very shocking, and many people think it is a very strange phenomenon, As a virtual currency, although many people don't know what its main function is, most people think it's a bit similar to stocks, so they made a series of investments in bitcoin. Until January 2020, the value of bitcoin has grown crazily, rising to nearly 1:47000 this growth rate has exceeded most excellent stocks. Many people are shocked and often want to understand why this phenomenon occurs. In fact, my analysis is mainly caused by the following reasons:
3 Of course, one of the main reasons why the price of bitcoin has risen so fast is also related to the psychology of chasing up and killing down. For example, when many stocks have been rising, more people will buy them, but when they are falling, many people withdraw because of fear. So far, bitcoin's rise is still very large, Therefore, some people think it has investment value, so they have been buying it
According to the data of Saturn exchange, the latest price is US $51000. The price of a
is still fluctuating
The total number of bitcoins is 21 million
in 2009, when bitcoin was born, block reward was 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25
when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million

monetary characteristics
1. Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
2. Global circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
3. Exclusive ownership: private key is needed to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
4. Low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution
5, no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
6. Cross platform mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
Bitcoin is just like the currency in the game, but no one releases bitcoin. Instead, it relies on a specific algorithm to generate , so now people looking for bitcoin also call themselves miners, but they rely on computers to mine
the rise of bitcoin is e to the restructuring of global risk assets , and the widening of investment channels for encrypted assets . Since the beginning of this year, the volatility of securities and foreign exchange markets has intensified, and global investors are looking for safe assets. Traditional safe asset gold is more dependent on the real economy and inflation expectations, Bitcoin is more like a sensitive index, gaining a certain asset hedging advantage
The concept of 21 million
bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, open source software was designed and released, and P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
bitcoin is not issued in unlimited quantity, which is different from most currencies. Bitcoin does not rely on a specific currency issuer. But according to the specific algorithm, through a large number of calculations. Its circulation is controlled by software algorithms. The total number is 21 million

generation principle
starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually the special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the infinite (in fact, bitcoin is finite) solutions that can be obtained from the equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique[ 10] In the metaphor of RMB, bitcoin is the serial number of RMB. If you know the serial number of a note, you have the note. The process of mining is to constantly seek the special solution of this equation system through a huge amount of calculation. This equation system is designed to have only 21 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 21 million
to mine bitcoin, you can download the special bitcoin computing tools, register various cooperation websites, fill the registered user name and password into the computing program, and then click the operation to officially start. After completing the installation of bitcoin client, you can directly obtain a bitcoin address. When others pay, you only need to paste the address to others, and you can pay through the same client. After installing the bitcoin client, it will distribute a private key and a public key. You need to back up your wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, personal bitcoin will be completely lost
). If your bitcoin is stored in a third party like an exchange, you can ask them for your bitcoin cash back. After the breakup of the ledger on August 1, any transaction involving bitcoin and bitcoin cash was completely separate. This means that after the split, bitcoin is bitcoin and bitcoin cash is bitcoin cash. The two are not inclusive.
According to reports, apple co-founder Steve Wozniak said at the times Global Business Summit: "I have seven bitcoins cheated by cheaters
today, bitcoin is about $10200, and Wozniak's stolen cryptocurrency is about $71400
at the beginning of last year, bitcoin rose several times from less than $1000. This is the first application of blockchain technology, which eliminates the needs of third parties (such as banks) by creating near instant, permanent and secure transaction records
"bitcoin to me is a currency that is not manipulated by the government. It is mathematical, pure and unchangeable," Wozniak said in the report
It is estimated that Wozniak is worth about US $100 millionAccording to relevant sources, the co-founder of Apple was cheated out of seven bitcoins, which are currently worth more than $70000
although bitcoin has experienced dramatic fluctuations recently, Wozniak is still a supporter of this cryptocurrency. He initially bought some bitcoins for $700 each, but did not disclose the exact amount. In January, he said he had sold all his bitcoin holdings
