Pictures of world mainstream currencies and bitcoin
The earliest is a kind of network virtual currency. It is characterized by decentralization, anonymity, and can only be used in the digital world. It does not belong to any country or financial institution, and is not subject to geographical restrictions. It can be exchanged anywhere in the world. Therefore, it is used as a money laundering tool by some criminals. In 2013, the U.S. government recognized the legal status of bitcoin, making the price of bitcoin soar
< H2 > extended information:bitcoin is e-cash similar to e-mail. Both parties need "bitcoin wallet" similar to e-mail and "bitcoin address" similar to e-mail address. Just like sending and receiving e-mail, the remitter pays bitcoin directly to the other party through a computer or smart phone according to the recipient's address
starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually a 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
many websites for technology players have begun to accept bitcoin transactions. Websites such as mtgox and btcchina, 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
In terms of technological innovation, people who know blockchain are very supportive; About the future trend of bitcoin, as the earliest blockchain proct, it has been basically in the market. As for how big a pie there will be in the future, you can see my share
[John McPhee, the head of IBM and the board of directors of PayPal all predict that bitcoin will reach $1 million]
in recent days, the market has slowed down temporarily. However, this has not deterred investors. As previously reported, although some bearish pressure is forming, bulls have responded well and kept prices stable
since bitcoin failed to break through $5450, bitcoin bulls have kept the price above $5000. Recently, after a stable weekend, there was almost no report on the price trend, and the market rose appropriately. Now all attention is turning to $5200 as the next key target, and finally retesting the resistance level of $5450
as of April 15, the marginal revenue of bitcoin was less than 2%, and the transaction price was $5160. Earlier in the day, it had risen to a high of $5193, but failed to reach the target of $5200
Then bitcoin fell back to US $5157. The high degree of stability and flexibility that bulls maintain and push prices up shows how strong the current bull market is. As long as bitcoin can remain above $5000 and avoid a sharp correction, the bullish trend will continue to get more support and push prices higherthe price of bitcoin (BTC) will reach $1 million
a few weeks after PayPal first invested in blockchain technology, its latest board of directors made a bold price forecast for bitcoin. Wences Casares, a member of PayPal's board, said bitcoin could reach $1 million in the next 10 years. IBM blockchain & amp; Jesse Lund and John McAfee, directors of digital currency, have also made such predictions, which many believe are overconfident
in my (subjective) opinion, the chance of success is at least 50%. If bitcoin really succeeds, a bitcoin could be worth more than $1 million in seven to 10 years
the growth of bitcoin has driven Shanzhai coin
with the rise of bitcoin, most Shanzhai coins are also rising. Although the income is relatively low, most Shanzhai coins have about 1% to 4% income, but this growth is likely to continue
before the deadline, lightcoin's LTC was one of the best performing currencies. In the past few weeks, the performance of this coin has been extraordinary, which seems to determine the price trend of Shanzhai coin again
XRP and eth are also on the rise, but the marginal returns are 0.30% and 1.26% respectively. XRP's short-term goal is to return above $0.33, and its long-term goal is above $0.4. On the other hand, ETH hopes to climb back to more than $170, becoming its next target, and its preferred position is more than $190
1. Q coin
Q coin, referred to as QB, also known as QQ coin, Tencent Q coin, etc. Usually its exchange rate is 1q currency = 1 RMB, with Tencent paipai net transactions are generally 10% off
QB is a virtual currency launched by Tencent, which can be used to pay for QQ bank number, QQ member service and other services. Tencent q-coin, through the purchase of QQ card, telephone recharge, bank card recharge, network recharge, mobile phone recharge card, one card recharge card and other ways to obtain
The face value of QQ card is 10 yuan, 15 yuan, 30 yuan, 60 yuan, 100 yuan and 200 yuan respectivelythere is another kind of electronic cryptocurrency, qqcoin, which is not related to each other
2. Litecoin
litecoin, abbreviated as LTC, currency symbol: Ł; It is a kind of network currency based on "peer-to-peer" technology. It is also an open source software project under MIT / X11 license. It can help users make instant payments to anyone in the world
lightcoin is inspired by bitcoin (BTC) and has the same implementation principle in technology. The creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol and is not managed by any central organization
3, infinite coin
infinite coin (hereinafter referred to as IFC) is a new digital currency, which has more circulation advantages than bitcoin, and fills the short board of bitcoin in the field of commercial circulation and promoting commercial operation. The positioning of unlimited money is to serve the daily life of small transaction payment
one transaction of infinite coin needs three confirmations, each confirmation takes three seconds, and the transaction confirmation speed is very fast. Because bitcoin transaction needs 6 confirmations, which takes about 1 hour, and lightcoin transaction takes 15 minutes, infinite coin is used in daily common transactions, which is more practical
infinite coin was released on June 5, 2013. Based on scrypt POW algorithm. A block is generated in 30 seconds. In the initial block, there are 524288 infinite coins in each block. After that, for every 86400 blocks generated, the number of coins in the block is halved, with a total of 90.6 billion. The difficulty of mining is adjusted every hour
Quark coin is not the currency in real life, it exists safely in the computer of global networkquark network is protected by six most advanced encryption algorithms to ensure that it can become a digital ledger. The whole network uses each of the six functions to generate a proof of work, and the coin maker must "verify" these transactions to ensure that each coin increase is real and effective
only regular computer can participate in ensuring that it can maintain a highly secure peer-to-peer network, which makes it more decentralized
quark coins can only be g up through the CPU of regular computers. In the first 36 weeks, a total of 247605120 quark coins will be g out. Since March 30, 2014, the annual quark coins set at 1050000 can enter the market through "digging", and the block reward will never be less than one, which is currently two
Zetacoin is an open-source digital currency based on SHA-256 algorithm. The initial coin mining is 160 million coins, and the subsequent annual inflation is a better incentive, To keep the hash of the network is not pure transaction cost The total number ofzetacoin is 160 million, 1000 zets per block and half of 80640 zets per block
According to analysts at Goldman Sachs, bitcoin can become a legal and widespread form of currency, but it is mainly possible in theory
Analysts believe that the reality is that cryptocurrency still has a very high threshold in most places. First, the government cannot track who is buying or selling bitcoin. And as we all know, the price of cryptocurrency is very vulnerable to large fluctuations. This volatility is very rare in legal tender, so bitcoin is not suitable to be a reserve currencyIn 2016, the global ranking of virtual currency is respectively as follows:
< H2 > bitcoin, Leyte, Ecuadorian, reborn, bitstock, doggy, Diablo, futurecoin, diandiancoin and Xingxing < H2 > first place: bitcoinsince its release in 2009, bitcoin has become the most well-known virtual currency. This virtual currency was developed by indivials or organizations under the pseudonym of "Nakamoto Tsung" (whose real identity has always been unknown), and is mainly used by online merchants. However, in recent years, some small physical merchants have begun to accept bitcoin payment. Through complex algorithms and a large number of computing resources, users can obtain bitcoin through "mining". Of course, they can also purchase bitcoin through exchanges or services like bitinstagnt and coinbase. The total amount of bitcoin that can be mined is about 21 million, while the current mining amount has exceeded 11 million. Bitcoin has attracted the attention of Western Union, MoneyGram and paypal. It is reported that these services are evaluating whether users are allowed to use bitcoin on their respective platforms
< H2 > second place: lightcoinlightcoin is inspired by bitcoin (BTC) and has the same implementation principle in technology. The creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol and is not managed by any central organization. Lightcoin aims to improve bitcoin. Compared with bitcoin, lightcoin has three significant differences. First, the lightcoin network can process a block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), so it can provide faster transaction confirmation. Second, the lightcoin network is expected to proce 84 million lightcoins, four times the amount of money issued by bitcoin network. Thirdly, the scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival is used in lightcoin's workload proof algorithm, which makes it easier to mine lightcoin on ordinary computer than bitcoin. Each Leyte coin is divided into 100000000 smaller units, and the third place is defined by eight decimal places: Ecuadorian currency. In December 2014, Ecuador launched the "electronic currency system"
Ecuadorian currency, or EDC, which is a digital currency issued by the Central Bank of the government of Ecuador. In December 2014, the Ecuadorian market was launched, In 2015, the number of Ecuadorian currency members reached 500000, which will be recognized and sought after by investors after launching the European market and Asian market in 2015, and achieve a complete success. It will strongly launch the Chinese market at the end of September 2016, and will issue a limited number of 50 million pieces in China, which has a strong scarcity! This is an international hot topic with a wide range of admirers in the world. Historical currency is a kind of P2P digital code. Ecuadorian currency is not issued by a specific monetary institution. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. Ecuadorian currency economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions
decentralized encrypted digital currency has no issuing institution, and it does not belong to any indivial, institution, bank or country, so it cannot be shut down. Ecuadorian coin mining machine is mining 24 hours a day, and the extracted Ecuadorian coin can be traded through the trading platform to obtain profits. Ecuadorian coin mining refers to the scrypt algorithm, The process of collecting and sorting the transaction information that has not been recognized by Ecuadorian currency in the past period of time, broadcasting to all nodes in the whole network, and finally being recognized by all nodes and getting Ecuadorian currency. Mining is the only way to issue new currency, which plays an important role in issuing new currency, maintaining Ecuadorian payment function and ensuring system security
Like bitcoin, XRP is a digital currency based on Mathematics and cryptography. However, unlike bitcoin, XRP has no real purpose. XRP has the main function of bridging currency and ensuring security in ripple system, among which the function of ensuring security is indispensable, This requires that all gateways participating in this protocol must hold a small amount of XRPin theory, gateways don't need to buy many xrps, and their prices are very cheap. One XRP is only 0.4 cent (as of March 14, 2015, its price has risen to about 1 cent). Like bitcoin, the number of xrps can not be "over issued" (the total number is 100 billion), but since a small amount of xrps will be destroyed in each transaction, it means that the number of xrps will graally decrease. If ripple protocol can become the global mainstream payment protocol, the gateway's demand for XRP will be more extensive - the demand is strong but the quantity is decreasing, which will lead to the appreciation of XRP
< H2 > fifth place: bitstocksbitstocks adopt an architecture similar to bitcoin blockchain. In the bitcoin blockchain architecture, each transaction data must be written from the previous transaction data, and new outputs are generated almost at the same time to be used for future transaction data writing. Each stroke can only be used once under certain conditions. Each transaction output contains the balance information of bitcoin, proving that it can be used for future transactions. In order not to proce bitcoin out of nothing, the write value of the transaction must be greater than the output value
bitcoin uses a simple script language to evaluate the situation that the balance is insufficient when the transaction is output; However, most of the transaction output only needs the holder's encrypted signature
< H2 > sixth place: dogcoindogcoin, some people call it "dogcoin", was born on December 8, 2013, based on the scrypt algorithm, is the second largest virtual currency in the world after bitcoin in the number of users [1]. Digital currency is a global currency initiated by non-governmental organizations. It does not belong to a certain country, but belongs to the whole mankind. It has the advantages of fast global transfer. For example, it can remit money from China to the United States in a few seconds, with low cost, and the total amount will not be increased at will like legal money, so the total amount is relatively stable
after the launch of dogcoin system, e to the help of reddit (the doge content on this website overflows horribly), the traffic shows an explosive development. However, in two weeks, dogcoin has launched a special blog and forum, with a market value of 100 million as of June 9, 2015. Because there is no pre dig, dog coin distribution is fair, charity, reward culture is popular, and user development is amazing and rapid. On June 9, 2015, the number of Dog Coin client addresses was 1.6 million, more than five times that of Wright coin; The number of active client addresses is 196000 in bitcoin, 83000 in dogcoin and 11000 in lightcoin; There are more than 150000 foreign Twitter users, 1.7 times of bitcoin and 6 times of lightcoin. Facebook likes are the same as bitcoin, far more than lightcoin [2]. The daily real transaction volume has been ranked in the top three of virtual currency for a long time, which is still not as good as the result obtained before the big platform [3]. The biggest value of the enterprise Internet era is the huge number of users. It took one year for the user base of dogcoin to reach one third of the number of bitcoin users, and the seventh place is lightcoin, which is four times the number of bitcoin users. 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[ 8] In the metaphor of RMB, black money 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 the equation system through huge amount of calculation. The equation system is designed to have only 22 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 22 million[ 8]
to mine the dark coin, you can download the special dark coin calculation tool, register various cooperative mine pool websites, fill the registered user name and password (miner user) into the calculation program, and then click the operation to officially start. After completing the installation of the darkcoin client, you can directly obtain a darkcoin address. When others pay, you only need to post the address to others, and you can pay through the same client. After installing the Black Coin 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, the personal dark coin will be completely lost
I think it is closely related to the whole market, especially the stock market. There is a saying that pigs can fly when they stand on the air, and vice versa< in this instry, bitcoin is the top 1, and the leading tycoons have lost the key price. What's better for the younger brothers who follow him to beg for food and stay warm? Naturally, they are like dominoes
however, I think the high leverage trading risk provided by bitcoin to investors is really high, which itself allows investors to finance 10 times and 20 times. At one time, it even reached the super currency leverage of 50 times< therefore, in the event of such a death style short attack, investors will be in an awkward situation and face a dilemma of "fight left and right". Therefore, it is suggested to be more cautious when investing in such things strong>
In economics, the functions of money are divided into five categories: circulation means, value measure, payment means, storage means and world money. I will mainly analyze whether bitcoin has the property of full circulation by combining these five aspects
we all know about bitcoin, even if we haven't touched it. In 2017, bitcoin became popular again. The last time I vaguely remember it was 2013. In the second half of 2013, bitcoin rose from US $100 to the highest of more than 1100, more than 10 times. Such a rise killed all markets and attracted countless people to start panning for gold and become miners
briefly describe bitcoin. Bitcoin is a kind of "electronic currency", which is composed of a series of complex codes generated by a computer. New bitcoin is manufactured through preset programs. With the increase of the total amount of bitcoin, the speed of new coin manufacturing slows down. There is a strict constraint on bitcoin, that is, the maximum amount of bitcoin is only 21 million. Due to the 21 million restrictions, bitcoin has been used to fight against inflation. Since the 2008 financial crisis, central banks around the world have implemented extremely loose monetary policies in order to stimulate the economy. Throughout the next 5000 years, there has been no interest rate lower than those in recent years
In recent years, more and more countries, institutions and indivials have begun to accept this emerging currency. At the end of June 2013, after the German parliament decided that bitcoin would be tax-free if it was held for more than one year, bitcoin was recognized as the "unit of account" by the German Ministry of finance, which means that bitcoin has been regarded as legal currency in Germany and can be used to pay taxes and engage in trade activities. In August 2013, judge Amos mazant of Texas District Court ruled in a case of bitcoin virtual hedge fund that bitcoin is a kind of currency and should be included in the scope of financial regulations. In China, the regulations on the administration of RMB prohibit the proction and sale of token tickets. Because there is no clear judicial interpretation of the definition of token ticket, if bitcoin is included in the "token ticket", the legal prospect of bitcoin in China is facing uncertainty, and there is still a long way to go for domestic acceptance of bitcointhe convenience and secrecy of circulation make bitcoin the best tool for money laundering, and many illegal transactions also begin to use bitcoin, which has become a major obstacle for bitcoin to become a full circulation currency
the two aspects of value scale and storage means are the hard wounds of bitcoin
first of all, the storage means, the attribute of bitcoin e-currency is that it can only exist in the computer hard disk and must rely on the Internet. The first problem is the Internet security. During this period, bitcoin blackmail virus broke out. A few years ago, someone mistakenly lost a hard disk and 7500 bitcoins, worth 50 million yuan at that time. For various reasons, people have to worry about whether bitcoin can have a safe storage property. Compared with the absolutely safe legal tender in the bank, bitcoin has great insecurity. In many cases, the storage method of bitcoin is far worse than that of gold. In extreme cases, only gold is the real currency
finally, there is the value scale. Bitcoin basically does not have the attribute of value scale. Bitcoin's main characteristic is limited supply, which determines that it can only be a non mainstream currency in the end. This characteristic is similar to gold. The gold standard is eventually abandoned by the whole world. The currency with limited supply can not keep up with the development of proctivity, and can only bring about deflation, which will seriously hinder economic development and eventually become a non mainstream variety. Moreover, the value of bitcoin itself is very unstable, and it is very easy to rise and fall sharply. In the macro economy, if a country's currency often rises and falls sharply, the unstable value of bitcoin can not be favored by people. As of today, the price of a bitcoin is 1800usd, and the market value of the whole market is 21 million bitcoins, which is 37.8 billion US dollars. A market with less than 40 billion US dollars is very easy to be manipulated by big funds. You can't even spend a little of 40 billion US dollars in the global foreign exchange market. The daily trading volume of the foreign exchange market is about 5 trillion US dollars. The small trading volume makes bitcoin a speculative thing. The CFTC defines bitcoin as a commodity rather than a currency. In recent years, most of the trading volume of bitcoin was created by Chinese people. It is generally acknowledged that Chinese people are fond of gambling. In addition, e to the domestic macro-economic reasons, they have been in the high-risk and low-income market environment, and capital control has led to a large amount of liquidity, so one by one, they are in a hot fire. So the current property of bitcoin is a trading target that can be used for speculation and money laundering
Kissinger once said: whoever controls the right to issue currency controls the worldI can't help but wonder: will global central banks be allowed to be challenged with such a core right as the right to issue money? In particular, the U.S. dollar is the core interest of the United States. All that the United States has done in its grand strategy is to keep the U.S. dollar as a global hegemonic currency. Throughout history, no one who challenges the U.S. dollar will come to a good end. Bitcoin's safety at present only shows that global central banks have not paid attention to it at all. They may have known that bitcoin can't be a currency for a long time. If Saudi Arabia announces that crude oil will be settled in bitcoin one day, when bitcoin is dried up by the United States and there is no resie left, it is OK for miners to speculate, but if they want to challenge the mainstream currency, it is the time of death
Bitcoin may be an attempt or experiment in human society, but I don't think it will become a currency, let alone a speculative commoditythe last warm tip: bitcoin trading has high risk and high return, so do not rush into this market
