Research on bitcoin
Bitcoin is a kind of virtual encrypted digital currency in the form of P2P. Different from all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, And the use of cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of money circulation. However, on September 4, 2017, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions announced that virtual currency trading is prohibited in China, and bitcoin is prohibited from circulating in China
according to the first article of the notice on preventing the financing risks of token issuance, we should accurately understand the essential attributes of token issuance financing activities. Token issuance financing refers to the illegal sale and circulation of tokens by the financing subject to raise the so-called virtual currency such as bitcoin and ether coin from investors. In essence, it is an unauthorized illegal public financing behavior, which is suspected of illegal sale of token bills, illegal issuance of securities, illegal fund-raising, financial fraud, pyramid schemes and other illegal criminal activities
Relevant departments will closely monitor relevant developments, strengthen cooperation with judicial departments and local governments, strictly enforce the law in accordance with the current working mechanism, and resolutely deal with market chaos. If suspected crimes are found, they will be transferred to judicial organs. The token or "virtual currency" used in token issuance financing is not issued by the monetary authority, does not have such monetary attributes as legal compensation and compulsion, does not have the same legal status as currency, and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market 
extended information:
Article 3 of the announcement on preventing the financing risk of token issuance strengthens the management of token financing trading platform. From the date of this announcement, any so-called token financing trading platform shall not engage in the exchange business between legal tender and token and "virtual currency", nor buy or sell token or "virtual currency" as a central counterpart, nor provide pricing, information intermediary and other services for token or "virtual currency"
for the token financing trading platform with illegal problems, the financial management department will request the competent department of telecommunications to close its website platform and mobile app according to law, request the network information department to remove the mobile app from the app store, and request the instrial and commercial administration department to revoke its business license according to law
Article 4 financial institutions and non bank payment institutions shall not carry out business related to token issuance financing transactions. All financial institutions and non bank payment institutions shall not directly or indirectly provide procts or services such as account opening, registration, trading, clearing and settlement for token issuance and financing and "virtual currency", nor undertake insurance business related to token and "virtual currency" or include token and "virtual currency" into the scope of insurance liability. Financial institutions and non bank payment institutions shall report to the relevant departments in a timely manner if they find clues of violation of laws and regulations in token issuance financing transactions
question 1: how was bitcoin born
on November 1, 2008, a person who called himself Satoshi Nakamoto posted a statement on micro v-bq Er Wu Ba y on a secret cryptography review group (cryptopunk), stating his new idea of e-money bitcoin
question 2: how to proce bitcoin
bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to solve a complex mathematical problem with a computer to ensure the micro v-bq consistency of the bitcoin network distributed accounting system. Bitcoin generates a block every 10 minutes, which contains all the transaction information in the past 10 minutes. Whoever can work out the figures will get the right to keep accounts. After obtaining the accounting right, it will broadcast and store to the whole network. It's uncertain who gets the bookkeeping right. Of course, the stronger your computing ability is, the higher the probability of getting the bookkeeping right is. Then the bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as a reward to reward those who have the right to keep accounts
question 3: what are the characteristics of bitcoin
it is impossible to control the number of issues without a fully decentralized issuing institution. Bitcoin does not need a third-party organization, and it is a peer-to-peer transaction with mutual trust. The establishment of trust is no longer based on large institutions, but on cryptography and code. Bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin. The private key is needed to control bitcoin. It can be stored in any storage medium in isolation, and no one can get it except the user himself. As a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. You can pay when you know the address of the other party's bitcoin
question 4: can bitcoin be imitated
it is difficult for the cat to survive. Because bitcoin algorithm is completely open source, anyone can download the source code, modify some parameters, recompile, and create a new P2P currency. However, these counterfeit currencies are vulnerable to 51% attacks. Any indivial or organization, as long as it controls 51% of the computing power of a P2P currency network, can manipulate transactions and currency value at will, which will be a devastating blow to P2P currency. Many Shanzhai coins die in this link. The bitcoin network is robust enough. If you want to control 51% of the computing power of the bitcoin network, the number of CPUs / GPUs required will be astronomical
question 5: why is the total amount of bitcoin 21 million
when bitcoin was born in 2009, each 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 bounty will be halved to 25. When the total amount reached 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, or 50% of 1050), the bounty was further halved to 12.5. And so on. According to its design principle, the total amount of bitcoin will continue to grow until it reaches 21 million more than 100 years later. However, the growth rate of bitcoin micro v-bq in the later period will be very slow. In short, bitcoin proction is halved every four years, and currently 12.5 bitcoins are proced every 10 minutes. In fact, 87.5% of bitcoin will be "g up" in the first 12 years. Moreover, 21 million is only theoretical data. In reality, e to the neglect of bitcoin in the early stage, many bitcoins were lost
question 6: what are the benefits of bitcoin miners
first of all, bitcoin will be rewarded directly after obtaining the bookkeeping right through calculation. But according to bitcoin's rules, as time goes on, the rewards will be less and less. In the future, the income will mainly come from the service charge generated by bitcoin transaction
question 7: why can't bitcoin be modified
for example, if a and B trade, a needs to pay B 100 bitcoins. But if a wants to default, he just wants to pay B a bitcoin. According to the rules of bitcoin, he has to obtain the bookkeeping right of the next 10 minute micro v-bq Er Wu Ba y before he can modify it; Similarly, he has to get another 10 minutes of bookkeeping rights, and so on. So modification is almost impossible
question 8: bitcoin transaction rate
theoretically, the bitcoin transaction rate is 7 transactions per second. In fact, bitcoin currently trades at only one transaction per second
question 9: why does bitcoin have such a strong vitality
if bitcoin is compared to a company, then it has no board of shareholders, board of directors, management, strict leadership, HR, Department Manager, staff, operating site and income. However, bitcoin has been running successfully for nine years without any problems, and its market value is hundreds of billions. The operation of the network relies on a set of mathematical algorithms, incentive mechanism and community for management and governance
question 10: what are the problems facing bitcoin
first, the transaction confirmation time is long. When bitcoin wallet is first installed with micro v-bq-y, it will consume a lot of time to download historical transaction data blocks. While bitcoin transaction, in order to confirm the accuracy of data, it will take some time to interact with P2P network, and the transaction will be completed only after the whole network is confirmed
Second, the public does not understand the principle, and the traditional financial practitioners resist. People who understand the principle know that bitcoin is not manipulated and controlled by a legal person. But the public doesn't understand, and many people can't even tell the difference between bitcoin and q-coin“ "No issuer" is the advantage of bitcoin, but in the view of traditional financial practitioners, "no issuer" currency is worthless.
