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
extended data
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
When the global financial crisis broke out in 2008, someone published a paper under the pseudonym of "Nakamoto Tsung", describing the mode of bitcoin
many bitcoin players are attracted by the fact that bitcoin can not be issued at will. Contrary to the attitude of bitcoin players, economists have a polarized attitude towards the fixed amount of 21 million bitcoin
Economists of Keynesian school believe that the government should actively regulate the total amount of money, and use the tightness of monetary policy to timely fuel or brake the economy. As a result, they believe that bitcoin's fixed aggregate currency sacrifices its adjustability, and worse still, it will inevitably lead to deflation, thereby harming the overall economy. Austrian economists hold the opposite view. They think that the less the government intervenes in money, the better. The deflation caused by the fixed amount of money is not a big deal, even a sign of social progressbitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system. Bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network will get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes. Then bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as a reward to reward the person who gets the answer
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
first of all, according to its design principle, the total amount of bitcoin will continue to grow until it reaches 21 million more than 100 years later. But the total amount of bitcoin will grow very slowly in the later period. In fact, 87.5% of bitcoin will be "g up" in the first 12 years. Therefore, in terms of the total amount of money, bitcoin will not reach a fixed amount, and its total amount of money will continue to expand, although the speed is getting slower and slower. So it looks like bitcoin is the inflation currency
However, the judgment of deflation or inflation is not based on whether the total amount of money is decreasing or increasing, but on whether the overall price level is falling or rising. The rise of overall price is inflation, and vice versa. In the long run, the issuing mechanism of bitcoin determines that the growth rate of its total amount of money will be far lower than that of social wealth Economists of Keynesian school believe that the continuous decline of prices will make people tend to postpone consumption, because the same dollar can buy more things tomorrow. The rection of consumption will further lead to shrinking demand, unsalable goods, lower prices and a vicious circle of "deflation spiral". Similarly, the deflationary currency itself can appreciate even if it is not deposited in the bank (the purchasing power becomes stronger and stronger), people's willingness to invest will increase, and social proction will fall into a downturn[ 5] Therefore, bitcoin is a currency with deflationary tendency. In bitcoin economies, commodity prices priced with bitcoin will continue to fallbitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency with limited quantity, but it can be used to cash out: it can be converted into the currency of most countries. You can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. As long as someone accepts it, you can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items

bitcoin is a new type of virtual currency, which is generated by a large number of calculations based on special algorithms. According to rigorous calculations, the stock of bitcoin is limited, with a total of 21 million, no more or less. After being created, bitcoin has rapidly become a "fixed asset" pursued by Internet speculators
in February 2014, mtgox, the world's largest trading platform, went bankrupt, casting a shadow on the whole bitcoin instry. Since the middle of 2014, the price of bitcoin has been in a downward trend for a long time

factor 1: bitcoin's spot trading volume rose
the decline on March 13 caused BTC to drop from US $8000 to US $3600 within 24 hours, and the buying volume of coinbase, Kraken, binance, bitfinex and other spot exchanges surged
at the same time, open positions (used to describe the total number of long and short positions opened at a specific time) fell sharply in mainstream futures exchanges (including bitmex, binance futures and okex)
the sharp decline of open position and the obvious increase of spot purchase volume of futures exchange actually lead to the transformation of the market. The spot market began to control the price of bitcoin, rather than the futures market
the futures market usually causes sharp fluctuations in the price of bitcoin, because traders use leverage (borrowed funds) to trade cryptocurrency, while in the spot market, investors buy and sell bitcoin without borrowing funds
this change has stabilized the market, enabled the price of bitcoin to rebound without a significant correction, and the volatility is relatively low
factor 2: BTC should not have fallen below $4000 at the beginning
on March 31, coinbase published a blog post, describing in detail the market trend after bitcoin plummeted to $3600
the exchange said that most users of the platform bought bitcoin after a sudden decline, adding that the waterfall clearing led to a much lower decline in bitcoin on the futures exchange than on the spot exchange
coinbase explained: "waterfall clearing is the most prominent in bitmex, which provides highly leveraged procts. During the sell-off period, bitcoin trading price on bitmex was much lower than other exchanges. Until bitmex was maintained at the time of the highest volatility (based on DDoS attacks), waterfall clearing was suspended and prices rebounded rapidly. When the st settles, bitcoin hovers around $5000, before plummeting below $4000. "
this opens up a theory that bitcoin should not have fallen to $3000 in the first place, which explains why bitcoin rebounded rapidly to $7350 in a V-shape
factor 3: rapid recovery to key support level
since the beginning of 2018, the level of $5800 has been an important support area in history. Avoid bitcoin prices falling between $3000 and $4000, except in December 2018
bitcoin prices quickly recovered from the $3000 range to $5800 in seven days. After three tests in March, the price of $5800 became a strong bottom, allowing bitcoin to continue its rally.
Bitcoin is the first and most popular decentralized cryptocurrency. At present, there are hundreds of cryptocurrencies in the world, some of which are growing geometrically. But the main focus is bitcoin. First, it's the most expensive cryptocurrency. Second, more than 100 million people around the world are bitcoin holders. In December 2017, when cryptocurrency became popular, the price of bitcoin suddenly rose to $20000. We invested a lot of money not only to buy cryptocurrency, but also to mine bitcoin and build a huge & lt; Mining & quot;, With the installation of mining equipment, almost as much electricity is consumed as in small cities. Some entrepreneurs have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in mining. Mining equipment manufacturers are doing quite well. For example, bitland's special offer integrated circuit ant miner S9 miner costs $6500{ RRRRR}
of course, bitcoin and other decentralized cryptocurrencies are extremely volatile and unpredictable assets. Therefore, the investors are optimists or professional investors without roads. Due to the unstable exchange rate, bitcoin is difficult to become a means of payment and storage tool, and cryptocurrency cannot be widely circulated. If the world economy is stable, there will be investment tools with good income forecasts

About 400 percent
when bitcoin first appeared in 2009, one dollar could buy almost 1300 bitcoins. Before April 2011, the price of each bitcoin was always below $1. In June 2011, the highest price of bitcoin rose to $30. Then, the price almost fell within a week. In 2012, the price of bitcoin once fell below $2
further dropped to $114 on January 14, 2015. Since then, bitcoin has begun to rise again.

In the first four months of this year, the price of bitcoin and an ounce of gold were almost equal
However, with the strong rise of bitcoin in this round, the price of bitcoin has exceeded the price of an ounce of gold. On April 26, the price of bitcoin was $1282.97, compared with $1264 for an ounce of gold. Bitcoin has surpassed gold in price
extended data
in 2016, there were dozens of bitcoin exchanges in the world, and the trading volume of bitcoin in most countries and regions increased sharply. Among the countries and regions with the highest growth rate, the trading volume of bitcoin in Japan is second only to China, ranking second in the world; The local bitcoin trading volume in Venezuela increased by more than 913%
South Korea has become the sixth largest bitcoin trading market in the world, Korean people can buy bitcoin from a large number of convenience stores, and korbit's trading volume currently accounts for 70% of the South Korean market; Local bitcoin transactions in Colombia increased by about 370%; Bitcoin markets in Malaysia, Russia and Australia are also developing rapidly. Bitcoin trading in China once accounted for more than 80% of the global trading volume
Since the birth of bitcoin in 2009, the first price to buy bitcoin in 2010 was about US $0.0025. At a price of $27000, bitcoin has risen 10.8 million times since its birth< In other words, the original investment of RMB 1 can buy 61.3 bitcoins, and the current position value is RMB 10.8 million even with bitcoin's amazing growth, Citibank recently announced a target price of $300000, which is 11 times the current price
Although centralized trading has many fatal disadvantages. 100% of the existing currencies and banks in the world are issued or abandoned by the National Central Bank, and ordinary people cannot participate in the issuance of currencies and banks or the central bank accounts. If the Central Bank continues to issue money silver, it will continuously dilute people's money silver and rece the purchasing power of money silver. It's not shocking at all. This has happened in some countries in the world. Take Zimbabwe as an example. In recent years, the government issued a large number of currency and silver, which led to the collapse of Zimbabwe's economy. Finally, the US dollar had to be introced into the local legal currency and silver< Economists are considering replacing bitcoin in Zimbabwe
