Iran Oil bitcoin
In the eyes of the Iranian government, the adverse growth of bitcoin is the most important point
it's not too much to describe bitcoin as an "indestructible little power". Under the background of various countries' attack, the current market value of bitcoin has reached an unprecedented US $102.14 billion, more than that of Goldman Sachs, an investment company, and its share price has also stubbornly exceeded US $6300. What does it mean to have a market value of more than 100 billion? Apple has worked hard for 31 years, Amazon has worked hard for 20 years, and bitcoin has only been used for less than 10 years. At the beginning of this year, the price of bitcoin was less than $1000, which means that in 10 months, bitcoin has increased by more than 550%
although bitcoin is not favored by regulators and financial giants, it is still a digital currency with great investment potential in the eyes of ordinary investors. Bitcoin is still able to rise against the market in the context of government regulation and the cold eye of financial institutions. Ordinary investors' enthusiasm for digital currency investment has reached an unprecedented height< Secondly, bitcoin has a good growing soil in Iran
in recent decades, the United States has adopted a series of economic sanctions against Iran, from banning trade and investment in Iran to imposing sanctions on Iran's energy sector, which are fatal. Among them, the financial sanctions against Iran by the United States can be described as a model of all sanctions. The United States takes advantage of the hegemony of the US dollar in the world, Iran is prohibited from providing services to its own banks and all foreign banks that use US dollars to trade. We should know that 70% of the world's trade is carried out in US dollars
in the repeated sanctions, Iran has found a life-saving straw bitcoin. If it deals with other countries to avoid the US dollar, it can perfectly resolve the US dollar sanctions through the virtual currency bitcoin. Therefore, btxcapital, the first real-time bitcoin exchange, was established in Iran two years ago. With more than 50 million Internet users in Iran, btxcapital has great potential to become the next major bitcoin market in the world in the next few years
Iran's use of RMB instead of US dollar will have a certain impact on its own US dollar, but it will not retrogress, because now the US dollar is still recognized as a circulating currency in the world, and the RMB is still untenable. It's just a big rection in the flow of dollars in Iran
Kazakhstan will not follow the example of Iran, Venezuela, Turkey and other countries to give up the use of U.S. dollar settlement. Although we also need to use local currency settlement, especially within the Eurasian Economic Union, it is incorrect to refuse to use U.S. dollar
Bitcoin can be called an electricity swallowing beast, consuming global energy. This incident has also aroused heated discussion among netizens on the Internet. In fact, speaking of bitcoin, it is very mysterious and has only developed on the Internet in recent years. Bitcoin mining consumes a lot of power, which is related to the computers it uses, because we all know that mining requires professional mining machines. Even the most advanced mining machines have very high proction power in the market, and these mining machines need 24 hours of continuous operation to dig a small amount of bitcoin, and they also need to keep cooling, So this is the reason why bitcoin consumes a lot of power
Third, the impact on people's lives
we also hope that the local government can stop the mining behavior, and also hope that all over the world can support the mining behavior of bitcoin, many netizens said, The rise of bitcoin price has nothing to do with ordinary people. On the contrary, it has led to the rise of the price of graphics cards, which has a very big impact. We all know that bitcoin is different from legal currency, which has no practical significance. We hope that people can recognize its true colors, and that the relevant government can close bitcoin mines. Only in this way can our motherland develop more rapidly, Let's live more and more
Today, with the rapid development of information technology, real money is far from meeting people's demand for capital flow. Virtual currency is the information flow or data flow that replaces the real currency in high technology. Virtual currency is different from check and telegraphic transfer. Virtual currency can not be transferred. At present, it can only be circulated in the network world. Virtual currency is released by each network machine, and there is no unified issuance and management standard. According to incomplete statistics, there are no less than 10 kinds of network virtual coins in circulation, such as Q coin, u coin and so on. Take Q coin as an example, with more than 300 million users. It is understood that the domestic Internet has a virtual currency market scale of several billion every year, and the growth rate is relatively large. Virtual currency is a newly emerging form of electronic currency in recent years. In essence, this kind of virtual currency is a form of goods. It is the result of a series of digital program algorithms through a series of mathematical algorithms. Virtual currency is also a kind of currency in essence, which can be used for trading
one Christmas, an editor of the financial times decided to buy bitcoin, a special Christmas gift for his parents. The reason is very simple. For the first time before Christmas, the value of bitcoin exceeded US $10000, which rose more than ten times in a year. Moreover, young people in Europe and the United States are talking about bitcoin. A survey found that 30% of the 20-30-year-old people in the United States have bought bitcoin. They don't know what bitcoin is, and they will definitely fall behind. The idea of taking bitcoin as a gift, on the one hand, can let oneself also try water in the coin circle, on the other hand, can also let the elderly parents play something new
as a result, the editor, who bought a $100 bitcoin, kept an eye on the market of the exchange every day ring the days when bitcoin jumped up and down, for fear that bitcoin would plunge into the water with his gift. On Christmas day, he spent half a day wrapping the electronic money of bitcoin for his father, and it took a lot of trouble to transfer the bought bitcoin as a gift to his father. After the transfer, he received the bill - the transfer cost was $30, which could be confirmed an hour later. Dad was very happy. He called in the new year to say that the bitcoin in his account had risen to 85 yuan
bitcoin is now the most popular cryptocurrency. To understand what bitcoin is, we need to explain it in several steps. First, it is cryptocurrency. Transactions are secure and will not be tampered with, because it relies on a technology called blockchain; Second, the blockchain technology is a kind of distributed general ledger that can safely record transactions, that is, a technology that stores transaction data on all networked computers, because each transaction needs at least half of the networked computers to confirm, so it ensures the security and transparency of transactions; Third, because of the use of distributed blockchain technology, bitcoin is different from the legal tender known as RMB or US dollar. It is no longer issued by the Central Bank of a country, there is no credit endorsement behind the country, there is no central authority to determine the currency value, and there is no central trading system to verify transactions
in 2016, the economist's cover article "trust machine", which introced "blockchain", was regarded by bitcoin insiders as a landmark event for bitcoin to enter the mainstream crowd According to the article of the economist, blockchain, as an emerging decentralized technology, has broad application prospects not only in the field of digital currency, but also in many fields such as supply chain, medical treatment, real estate transaction, etc
however, bitcoin has risen from less than $1000 in early 2017 to a maximum of $20000. Although this round of rise has made it a household investment, it is further and further away from the digital currency as a substitute for legal tender
if measured by the three main functions of currency, bitcoin can not shoulder any of them. The three main intelligences are value reserve, circulation means and pricing unit. Let's see why one by one
let's look at the stored value method first. The price of bitcoin has been soaring all the way. Recently, there is a roller coaster market. The price often fluctuates 20% to 30% in one day. If bitcoin is used as a value reserve, the volatility will obviously make people nervous: if you bought a car with bitcoin in January last year, the same amount of bitcoin will be enough for you to buy the most expensive sports car in January this year
As a means of circulation, bitcoin is also very weak and not environmentally friendly. In the first example, the editor of the financial times had to pay $30 to transfer bitcoin, and it took more than an hour to get it. There is no way to compare this with the free real-time payment of wechat wallet, and even less with the system that can handle hundreds of thousands of transactions per second. The reason for this is that bitcoin has set the rule that it can only process seven transactions per second, while at least 50% of the connected computers are required to confirm, so each transaction costs 275 kwh. Bitcoin's total annual electricity consumption is enough for Morocco, a small country in North Africa. In other words, with the existing technology of bitcoin, there is no way to meet the needs of global digital transactions Finally, as a unit of valuation, bitcoin will have problems if it is widely circulated. For example, if your housing loan is priced in bitcoin, the house price has not increased much in the past year, and your debt may have increased more than ten times if it is converted into RMB. Without a stable currency value, bitcoin could not support slightly more complicated financial transactions
then why can bitcoin Soar so much? In fact, the reason can be described in one word: fomo, which is the abbreviation for fear of missing out. Every one of us is afraid of missing this opportunity to make a fortune. If the story of people around us who are speculating in bitcoin and suddenly become a billionaire spreads, more and more people will buy bitcoin because of the money making effect. There are so many examples of such rapid bubbles in history. If many investors buy an illiquid asset, the price may double. p>
but fomo belongs to fomo, and the blockchain behind bitcoin has great potential, which is why the economist calls it a "credit machine"
some people regard blockchain as the future Internet. But the problem is that the application of blockchain in various fields mentioned above can be completed with centralized database. Blockchain has not brought advanced technology, and even has bottlenecks in the speed and frequency of transactions at this stage. So why do you do that? The answer lies in the concept of decentralization. Centralization means that all data are placed in a core database. When the database becomes larger and larger, it will face more and more security risks. Similarly, for each indivial, if data concentration in a center also gives the center great power, how to ensure that this power is not abused? Blockchain technology is the representative of "decentralized" technology. Decentralization, as the name suggests, means that there is no longer a core, no longer a center that commands and has authority, but a new organizational mode of decentralization, in which every participant is equal
therefore, the driving force behind the promotion of blockchain applications is actually to achieve a certain balance between the core and the public, that is, between the center and the decentralization. Another problem that centralization may lead to is that platform dominance will curb competition, just as our digital economy has been dominated by faang and bat. The United States is Facebook, Amazon, apple, Netflix and Google, let alone bat in China. The decentralized model dominated by blockchain can encourage the creation of new competitive markets
another point is also very important. Many experts hope to automate more processes by virtue of the transparent and tamper resistant characteristics of the data on the blockchain, as well as the characteristics of its smart contract, such as completing a transaction when a certain agreed condition is reached, and auditing the process at the same time. This feature of blockchain is particularly effective in some markets with corrupt government and lack of rules, which is why there are real estate transaction applications based on blockchain in some Latin American countries
look back at bitcoin and the explosive but problematic ICO market. Both experts and people in the instry are talking about the word "token", which is the meaning of adding a token to the chain. Bitcoin mania tells us how amazing fomo's wealth effect is. However, some experts believe that the blockchain with token can better motivate the participants to find the potential security risks on the public chain and make the blockchain based applications more efficient
Finally, although bitcoin has become a "dark horse asset" sought after by funds, the rise of crypto digital currency should still cause people to think about what money is and how money is created? If money is based on some kind of credit that more and more people think is valuable, then the next generation of cryptocurrency may open up many other possibilities. Don't you see that Venezuela, which has been plagued by inflation, has issued "oil currency"? It is hoped that this kind of petroleum currency, which claims that every petroleum currency is directly linked to every barrel of crude oil, will not collapse as fast as the gold dollar. After all, Venezuela has plenty of oil, and the blockchain itself has credit that is not so easy to tamper with
