Sichuan flood bitcoin price
Although many countries do not recognize the value and status of bitcoin, bitcoin is still popular in recent years, and its existence is controversial. Some people say that it has no practical significance, just a number. If it is not officially recognized by the world, mining is a constant waste of energy. Some people say & lt; No one can be sure whether bitcoin is a black horse or not
in fact, bitcoin is calculated and proced through computer networking, also known as mining. At the beginning, there was a personal computer to dig, but the efficiency was relatively low, and the cost of graphics card was low. Then there was a special bitcoin mining machine, ranging from several hundred to two or three hundred thousand yuan
when we talk about bitcoin, we naturally need blockchain because of the blockchain, bitcoin can become bitcoin. It is a secure general ledger for all payments and transactions. It can be said that everyone can contribute to the update. We need to solve a very complex mathematical problem by brute force& mdash; Hash algorithm to complete a block
many people want to know the value of a bitcoin. In fact, the price of bitcoin is changing all the time. We need to check the figures of that day. At present, the price of a bitcoin is less than 30000
25000 mining troops in Sichuan: a flood cost hundreds of millions, most afraid of power failure and loneliness
these computing power are scattered along the Da River, a tributary of the Minjiang River. They inlge in the night of Dalate Banner in Ordos, and sleep soundly in a small city in Yili Kazakh Autonomous Prefecture of Xinjiang
today, bitcoin's total network computing power has reached about 30 billion hash collisions per second, equivalent to about 600 tianhe-2 supercomputers, and it is still growing at a high speed. " Wu Jihan, the founder of bitcontinent, wrote in the beauty of computing power
he preached a set of infinitely beautiful "computational aesthetics", but behind the aesthetics is the cruel computational world and interests. Mining is moving towards instrialization step by step and becoming a game of capital
at this time, decentralized mining machines and pools began to appear. They called themselves revolutionaries and wanted to change the extremely monopolized bitcoin world
"cloud computing power mining" is one of them
their way of playing is to establish a number of distributed mines and provide computing power leasing services with tens of thousands of real mining machines
"the current computing power is too concentrated, and some decentralized play methods are difficult to change the current pattern and ecology." Li Ke said
but the essence of blockchain is decentralization. The miners still have the belief that eventually the mining instry will be broken by the decentralized mining pool
this may be the only belief that keeps them going
how long will it take
"5-10 years, slowly nibbling at the giant's territory." Li Ke said
but will giants wait for the revolution? Will they fight back
the battle of computing power and the spark of revolution have just been ignited

Bitcoin has not been officially recognized by the state, has not been incorporated into the legal system, and lacks corresponding supervision. Its high anonymity determines the high risk of the market. To this end, Zhao Xijun reminded that bitcoin trading has a high risk, "bitcoin trading is open all day, with few chips, and the price is easily controlled by the makers. Investors should not blindly follow the trend of speculation, and once they suffer losses, there is no way to complain."
bitcoin, as the original scheme of technology, plays a similar role as gold standard currency in the whole system. A large number of applications may not necessarily use it as the transaction medium, but the value of bitcoin will directly affect the value of the whole application field of blockchain technology
Extreme weather now has a new group of victims - digital money diggers. Last week's heavy rain in Sichuan and the heat wave in Europe have affected the global bitcoin computing power. At the same time, extreme weather also gives us a glimpse of the impact on (the world) if China successfully expels the bitcoin mining instry
like other governments, Beijing is also worried about the huge energy consumption of virtual currency exploitation. According to authoritative statistics, the global electricity consumption for bitcoin mining can meet the domestic electricity consumption of 6.5 million American households. Although some analysts doubt the impact of China's bitcoin mining on the global virtual currency computing power, there is no dispute that China's miners still dominate the field of digital currency mining
