Bitcoin's currency anchor
They are:
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, the open source software was designed and released, and the P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
bitcoin cash
bitcoin cash is a new version of bitcoin with different configurations launched by a small number of bitcoin developers
extended data:
virtual currency refers to non real currency. Well known virtual currency, such as network company's network currency, Tencent company's Q currency, Q point, Shanda company's voucher, Sina's Micro currency (used for micro games, Sina reading, etc.), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), silver pattern (used for bixue Qingtian game)
the popular digital currencies in 2013 are bitcoin, Leyte coin, infinite coin, quark coin, zeta coin, BBQ coin, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bar, red coin and prime currency. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world. Popular in the circle & quot; The legend of "bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper, pennies aluminum"
a node is a network node in the blockchain distributed ledger system. By connecting servers, computers and other devices through the network, different types of blockchains have different ways to become nodes. For example, bitcoin participates in trading and mining, and EOS participates in election campaign to become a node
the following is what is a bitcoin full node
bitcoin full node is the node that downloads and preserves complete blockchain data by loading bitcoin clients (including bitcoin unlimited and bitcoin)
because of the congestion of the blockchain transaction network, the author solves the problem by adjusting the broadcast communication, information encryption and decryption, consensus mechanism and transaction verification mechanism. In the whole bitcoin network, from miners to ordinary users can be regarded as a node in the bitcoin network, but because bitcoin has the characteristics of multi centralization, In the whole network, its important role is "bitcoin all nodes."
Many people think that the reason why bitcoin is valuable is because it is "rare", and if bitcoin is no longer "rare", then it will not have value
this is a misunderstanding. Let's consider a question: what is the essence of all "currencies"
the answer is trust. The biggest reason for the value of the dollar is because of the credibility established for the dollar under the Bretton Woods Agreement, rather than the so-called equivalent exchange with gold (although others say so). The main reason why RMB is valuable is because of the trust system of RMB in China and neighboring countries, rather than the exchange with us dollar reserves (see offshore RMB). This can explain why the currencies of some countries (such as the ruble of Russia, as well as the Zimbabwean currency as you all know) have been greatly devalued, because the government and the current world situation have led to a trust system that does not support the existence of this currency. The so-called economic sanctions and currency speculation are very superficial and superficial reasons
the essence of money is trust
What about bitcoin
bitcoin has no centralized Trust Measurement institution. The value of bitcoin, namely its "credit system", comes from distrust of centralized units. Every country finds that seigniorage is too easy to collect, which leads to the increasingly poor trust between countries. Even the people of all countries do not trust the national currency
and trust, like quality, is conserved. Trust in centralized money decreases, while trust in decentralized money increases naturally
this is the essential reason why the value of bitcoin continues to rise. Therefore, for digital currencies such as bitcoin, there are only two outcomes. Either countries want to understand that they will no longer issue excess currencies, issue additional currencies in a scientific and reasonable way, unify stable exchange rates, and maintain the credit system of centralized currencies, then the value of bitcoin will be infinitely close to zero. Or countries will continue to drink water to quench their thirst, and more frantically use the method of issuing excess currency to collect seigniorage from everyone, then the trust in the centralized currency will be lower and lower, and the total value of bitcoin, a decentralized currency, will be infinitely close to the gross labor value of all the units that do not trust the government and other governments, but need international trade
either the price is crazy or it's worthless
after understanding these, we can answer this question. Will bitcoin be replaced by other digital currencies
swindlers like * * and even the old Wang next door can come and yell, "I spent 10 minutes to change bitcoin's core and create a new digital currency called SBC. Come and join my ICO and pay me seigniorage ~". So, if this happens, will you immediately choose to use Lao Wang's SBC next door
the answer is that some speculators will participate, but the market will not. The reason is very simple, the new cryptocurrency has not been recognized by the market, the application has not been proced, this kind of currency has no way to exchange for means of proction. Then this kind of currency is not money, but a virtual commodity for speculation. In other words, even if old Wang ICO next door has an SBC, no one will choose this kind of currency except those speculators who have no brains
in the current market, there are many other digital currencies, such as Ethereum, EOS, XRP, and so on, which may have technological advantages in some aspects (in fact, BTC has been evolving, and it will also learn from the advanced technologies of other digital currencies that have been successfully proved by the market. LTC and other currencies can be said to be the experimental currencies of BTC's advanced technologies.), There may be more application scenarios than BTC in the future, but they are not likely to challenge the status of BTC. BTC will always be the first consensus in the currency circle, which is the belief of many people. BTC will exist for a long time as the gold in the currency market, not mainly for the circulation of digital currency

it can be roughly understood as the relationship between 0.9 (9 infinite cycle) and 1
2. Even if there is only one bitcoin left in the world, it means that there are 1000 0.1 bitcoins and 100000 0.01 bitcoins in the world
let's assume that the function of bitcoin is equivalent to that of gold as a currency anchor (in fact, it also has this function). You will understand that there are 21 million bitcoins in the world and only 0.1 bitcoins in the world are the same. The currency itself or bitcoin
for example, if the number of bitcoin in the world is reced to one tenth, the market price of bitcoin should be 400000 yuan (to understand this needs a certain economic basis)
so whether bitcoin is in circulation or not has nothing to do with the quantity.
unlike 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 a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. 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. 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
from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees
on September 4, 2017, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions announced that China banned virtual currency trading
on December 17, 2017, bitcoin reached an all-time high of $19850
on November 25, 2018, bitcoin fell below the $4000 mark and is now stable at more than $3000.
in April 2019, bitcoin again stood at the $5000 mark, reaching a new high of the year.
opponents of bitcoin accuse mining of wasting a lot of resources to make meaningless coin toss, while supporters take gold mining as an example. For the bitcoin system, the biggest significance of this kind of resource consumption mining is: to distribute 21 million initial bitcoins fairly, just like to consume resources to dig gold, the only way to distribute initial bitcoins fairly is to consume resources to dig bitcoins
bitcoin has thousands of plagiarists, competitors and improvers because of its open source code. Generally, those who simply and imitate bitcoin are called Shanzhai coins, and those who add certain new features to bitcoin are called competitive coins. Some coins add other functional moles such as smart contract to bitcoin, and call themselves "second generation coins". These thousands of coins try all the initial coin distribution modes you can imagine, such as the average distribution of the initial coin to each Icelandic, the distribution of the initial coin to the nextcoin of 73 crowd funding participants, and the slow distribution of the majority of the initial coin by the developer
but the fairness of all these ways of distributing initial coins is far weaker than the mode of burning money to obtain initial bitcoin, and fairness is the core problem of a monetary system. Therefore, although bitcoin mining consumes a lot of resources, it is a reasonable economic behavior just like consuming resources to mine gold.
