Causes of BTC formation

1.

The concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto on November 1, 2008, and was officially born on January 3, 2009. According to the idea of Nakamoto, the open source software is designed and released, and the P2P network on it is constructed. Bitcoin is a virtual encrypted digital currency in the form of P2P. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system

bitcoin 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 block reward to reward the person who gets the answer

2. Bitcoin is a digital currency based on a specific algorithm. < blockquote >

bitcoin is equivalent to digital gold. As a generally recognized equivalent, gold naturally has monetary properties and has been regarded as a kind of currency since ancient times. Bitcoin was born in 2009 and created by a person named Nakamoto. As the earliest digital currency, it was worthless at the beginning of creation. Until 2017, the highest transaction price of bitcoin exceeded 30000 RMB. The reasons why bitcoin became a valuable digital currency are as follows:

first of all, it is like gold, as a natural mineral, The total amount of bitcoin is limited. Bitcoin can not be over issued according to its own algorithm, so there will be no rapid devaluation of currency e to excessive currency issuance. The number of bitcoin is controlled to no more than 21 million e to the algorithm, so it can not be issued in large quantities, so its value is guaranteed

historical background

bitcoin is one of the first currencies to realize the concept of "cryptocurrency". In 1998, Wei Dai first expounded the concept of "cryptocurrency" in cypherpunks mailing list. Based on the basic concept of money, which is used to pay for goods, services and debt or any form of records in a given country or economy, bitcoin is a new form of money. Its original design is to integrate the idea of not relying on the central authority, using the principle of cryptography to control the issuance and transaction of money
in 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto published the first bitcoin specification and its proof of concept in the cryptography mailing list. At the end of 2010, Nakamoto claimed that he had transferred to other affairs and left the project. The creator of bitcoin never revealed his true identity, but left his invention to the world. Today, the origin and motivation of the invention of bitcoin is still a mysterious story
since 2010, many developers have devoted themselves to this project, and the bitcoin community has grown rapidly. Between June and July 2011, bitcoin suddenly gained media attention, leading to large-scale buying. The resulting bubble led to the continued decline in the price of bitcoin in the second half of 2011. After that, the price of bitcoin graally rose to the height of 2011
in order to regulate, protect and promote the development of bitcoin, the bitcoin foundation was established on September 27, 2012. Nowadays, with the increasing number of bitcoin users, bitcoin economy is developing rapidly

technical features

any network like bitcoin has the following basic features:
bitcoin can be transferred between any node of the network
the transaction is irreversible
the use of block chain avoids the occurrence of double consumption
the transaction will spread out in a few seconds and pass validation in 10 to 60 minutes
transaction processing and currency issuance are carried out through mining
bitcoin can be received at any time whether it is online or not<

economic rules

the whole bitcoin network jointly implements the following rules:
the total amount of bitcoin issued is about 21 million
a bitcoin can be divided into 8 decimal places, with a total of about 21 × 1014 monetary units
transaction costs are very low and most of them are free

statistics

bitcoin network has been running continuously for more than 48 months. In the past year, bitcoin's security features have attracted attention and developed significantly. As of April 2013:
the longest block chain has more than 232000 blocks
one of the largest distributed computing networks in the world, with more than 65 trillion hashes per second
there are 50000 transactions every day, with a total amount of several million US dollars
the total value of bitcoin in circulation exceeds US $1.3 billion
there is only one major security incident in the protocol, which was resolved in August 2010

4. Bitcoin is a P2P network. Just like the familiar BT download mode, in order to keep the network running, we need to always keep someone online to upload and share data with others. Therefore, the publishers of BT seeds often ask the sowers on the forum to be "Sowers", but in fact, BT seeds are often broken, and people are selfish, You can't ask everyone to contribute their resources for free

from the perspective of network technology, that is to say, the generation of bitcoin is primarily for the continuous and safe operation of the network, which can not be used to measure the development speed of P2P virtual economy. Just like collectibles, people have proced bitcoin not to make it circulate and trade like money, but as a sign of geek's contribution to inspire people. But now people misunderstand the original intention, the proction of virtual currency itself needs cost, and people's enthusiasm will add up the cost infinitely. As a result, the price ratio between real money and virtual money is becoming larger and larger, creating the current situation

and the bitcoin network, like the BT download, needs "miners" to contribute their computer resources for calculation to ensure the operation of the bitcoin network. If the people who contribute resources like the BT download can not get the benefits, the bitcoin network will collapse. So the issue of bitcoin is designed that whoever contributes computing power to keep the bitcoin network running can get the fee paid by the network - bitcoin

As for the significance of bitcoin, bitcoin, as a currency specially designed for the Internet, is essentially a payment solution. Modern currency has never been global, let alone completely free circulation. This is the contradiction between the existing monetary system and the Internet, and bitcoin is designed to solve this contradiction, Let money become a string of data to follow the circulation of the whole network

bitcoin has a more direct significance in recing the transaction cost of Internet trade, especially small transactions, making the original unprofitable transactions profitable, and enabling the original transactions that could not be concluded e to payment to be concluded

6. Anti counterfeiting
like the theory of evolution, the main chain is obtained through continuous screening consensus, and the accumulated amount of computation is high. If you want to forge the main chain, you must pay a higher price (half of the computing power of the whole network). For example, the electricity consumption of bitcoin mining is equal to that of Singapore. You have to pay half of Singapore's electricity if you want to fake it
