Why can bitcoin be traded

The remitter will pay bitcoin directly to the other party according to the address of the payee through the computer or smart phone

after the transaction data of bitcoin is packaged into a "data block" or "block", the transaction is initially confirmed. When a block is linked to a previous block, the transaction is further confirmed. After six block confirmations in a row, the transaction was irreversibly confirmed

the bitcoin peer-to-peer network stores all transaction history in the "blockchain". The blockchain continues to extend, and once new blocks are added to the blockchain, they will not be removed. In fact, blockchain is a distributed database composed of a group of scattered client nodes and all participants, which is a record of all bitcoin transaction history

extended data

users can buy bitcoin, and at the same time, they can "mine" bitcoin by using computers to perform a large number of calculations according to the algorithm. When users "mine" bitcoin, they need to use the computer to search for 64 bit numbers, and then compete with other gold miners by repeatedly solving puzzles to provide the required numbers for the bitcoin network. If the user's computer successfully creates a set of numbers, then they will get 25 bitcoins

from 2012 to 2014, bitcoin swept the world, and graally formed the "virtual currency" instry chain represented by bitcoin. This is a change in the financial instry and a new proct of the combination of the financial instry and the Internet. It represents a financial milestone in the new era and marks a new chapter in the history of the Internet. Bitcoin fund is one of the derivative procts represented by bitcoin in the era of "virtual currency"

according to the relevant news reports of Fuhui China, bitcoin fund will be open for operation in the autumn of 2014. Fuhui bitcoin fund, as the world's first operation mode of mutual benefit and win-win with financial management mode, is original and full of temptation and challenge

Because 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

many websites for technology players have begun to accept bitcoin transactions. For example, websites like hotcoin, coin an and okex, as well as some Taobao stores, can even accept services such as bitcoin exchange for us dollars and euro. There is no doubt that bitcoin has become a real currency in circulation, rather than a virtual currency like Tencent Q coin. There are specialized bitcoin third party payment companies abroad, similar to the domestic Alipay, which can provide API interface services. p>

you can use money to buy bitcoin, or you can be a miner to "mine" them, and use computers to search for 64 bit numbers. By repeatedly decrypting with a computer, it competes with other gold miners to provide the number needed for the bitcoin network. If the computer can successfully create a set of numbers, it will get 12.5 bitcoins

bitcoin is decentralized. It needs to create a fixed number of bitcoins in each unit of computing time. It can get 12.5 bitcoins every 10 minutes. By 2140, there will be 21 million bitcoins in circulation. In other words, bitcoin system can be self-sufficient, which can be translated into coding to resist inflation and prevent others from sabotaging

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 has become the most popular cryptocurrency in the world. Some countries allow the transaction of bitcoin, but some countries prohibit it. China belongs to the latter. Why does China shut down bitcoin trading? Let's analyze this problem today

bitcoin does not have the function of trading medium in China, so it can not be called currency. At the same time, bitcoin has the function of storing value and has certain investment value. However, the rapid rise of the current price has formed speculative anticipation and may form a bubble in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures ahead of time, which can also restrain some illegal acts of laundering money and transferring assets through bitcoin. p>

In the notice on prevention of bitcoin risks jointly issued by the people's Bank of China and other fifth ministries and commissions, financial institutions are prohibited to intervene in bitcoin, but at the same time, it holds that "bitcoin is a specific virtual commodity, does not have the same legal status as currency, and cannot and should not be used as currency in the market. However, bitcoin trading as a commodity trading behavior on the Internet, ordinary people have the freedom to participate at their own risk. "

according to the relevant national laws and regulations, buying and selling bitcoin is legal.

according to the statement of the five ministries and commissions, bitcoin is a commodity and is legal

so generally speaking, bitcoin can be traded publicly, but it needs to be traded on the corresponding exchange. However, the trading platform is centralized. There is only one article about the Chinese government's policy on bitcoin. Please refer to the website link
