Background of bitcoin white paper
It was officially born on January 3, 2009
since 2015, the future of bitcoin has become more and more uncertain. On the one hand, bitcoin fell as much as 55.55% against RMB last year; In 2015, bitcoin fell by more than 30% against the RMB in the first half of January alone
bitcoin's "falling" reflects the "self-healing" of its value after "fanaticism" to a certain extent. According to statistics, in 2013, bitcoin rose from 1 ∶ 13.59 to 1 ∶ 731, with an annual increase of 5300%. This speculative driven inflation has affected the virtual currency property on which bitcoin relies
on the one hand, no country has defined it as a legal currency. On the other hand, in 2014, the US dollar rose significantly, and the prices of oil and bulk commodities fell correspondingly. The price trend of bitcoin is the same as that of the latter, becoming part of the asset allocation of some speculators, which highlights that its asset attribute is far greater than the monetary attribute
extended data
Security and credit risk have also become the reasons for the decline of investor confidence. Mt. GOx, once the world's largest bitcoin exchange, claimed in March last year that it had lost all its assets e to hacker attacks. Recently, it was revealed that its lost bitcoin was probably e to internal system manipulation
the regulatory environment of bitcoin is not optimistic, and Russia, Thailand and other countries have begun to implement strict control on it. In addition, the global stock market performed well last year, resulting in the diversion of bitcoin investment funds, and the crazy "mining" activities also rapidly increased the supply of bitcoin, which may lead to a trend of oversupply in the short term, leading to a sharp drop in the price of bitcoin
One of the most special currencies is undoubtedly bitcoin. The biggest characteristic of bitcoin is that the quantity is limited! Moreover, bitcoin supporters believe that one of the advantages of bitcoin is that the number of bitcoins is fixed{ RRRRR}
although bitcoin is limited, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient use, because bitcoin, as an electronic currency, is too easy to be divided. For example, in our real life, 10 yuan banknotes can be changed into 10 pieces of 1 yuan banknotes, and 1 yuan banknotes can be changed into 10 pieces of 1 jiao banknotes. Limited by the real currency, it's hard for you to find 1 Fen banknotes now, let alone tear 1 Fen banknotes into 10 pieces. But bitcoin is different. In the current data structure of bitcoin, the smallest unit is 0.00000001 bitcoin, that is & lt; 1 Cong & quot;, On top of that, there are micro bits (0.000001 bitcoin). If necessary in the future, bitcoin can also consider smaller partition units. Money can be divided into small pieces, which means it's easier to circulate, so bitcoin is limited and no problem
on November 1, 2008, at this historic moment, a person who called himself Nakamoto Tsung published a paper called "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system" on the Internet, in which he described a new digital currency system: bitcoin
bitcoin system is a decentralized digital currency system, which solves the issue and circulation problem of constant amount of money without a central institution. By transferring money through bitcoin system, information is open and transparent, and bitcoin can be safely transferred to people at the other end of the earth. Every transfer information will be recorded by the whole network. The white paper also marks the birth of bitcoin's underlying technology blockchain< br/>
on November 1, 2008, a mysterious cryptography geek named Satoshi Nakamoto released the white paper
in January 2009, bitcoin was born, so this white paper is the origin of bitcoin

in fact, bitcoin has soared in recent years. Almost all the people who invested in bitcoin in the past few years have made a lot of money according to media reports, Wang Xing, founder of meituan, invested in bitcoin a few years ago. Now the price of bitcoin has reached new highs, and the profit of bitcoin invested by Wang Xing has exceeded 100 times. But in fact, there are not many people who have invested in bitcoin. Many Internet practitioners have invested in bitcoin, and there are also special money speculation organizations in China that use bitcoin as a financial asset. A few years ago, bitcoin fluctuated a lot, and many investors left the market at a loss. However, since last year, a lot of hot money has poured into the bitcoin market, and the price has been pushed again and again, and many investors have also made a lot of money
