Bitcoin and super sovereign currency

1.

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 currency

2.

Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency

reasons for blocking:

1. Vulnerability of trading platform. The bitcoin network is robust, but the bitcoin trading platform is fragile. Trading platform is usually a website, which will be attacked by hackers or shut down by competent authorities

The transaction confirmation time is long. When bitcoin wallet is first installed, it will consume a lot of time to download historical transaction data blocks. While bitcoin transaction, in order to confirm the accuracy of data, it will take some time to interact with P2P network, and the transaction will be completed only after the whole network is confirmed

The price fluctuates greatly. Due to the intervention of a large number of speculators, the price of bitcoin for cash fluctuates like a roller coaster. Making bitcoin more suitable for speculation rather than anonymous trading

4. The public did not understand the principle, and the traditional financial practitioners resisted. Active netizens understand the principle of P2P network and know that bitcoin has no legal person to manipulate and control. But the public doesn't understand, and many people can't even tell the difference between bitcoin and q-coin“ "No issuer" is the advantage of bitcoin, but in the view of traditional financial practitioners, "no issuer" currency is worthless

extended materials:

the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, the open source software was designed and released, and the P2P network on it was constructed. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system

unlike most 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 the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation

the decentralized feature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially control the value of bitcoin by mass manufacturing. 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 21 million

bitcoin can be cashed and converted into the currency of most countries. Users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items

on February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that the relevant authorities would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin's encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency

from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees

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

Bitcoin is not the currency of a country, but a virtual currency

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 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

extended data:

unlike all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, And the use of cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of money circulation

the decentralized feature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially control the value of bitcoin by mass manufacturing. 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

[characteristics of bitcoin]

the reason why bitcoin is anonymous is that they are built on a decentralized system. Bitcoin is completely independent, and the outside world cannot shut it down through some kind of core infrastructure

"anonymity" is very useful for those who don't want to associate their name with the goods or services they purchase. What outsiders see is nothing more than the address of your bitcoin wallet and a string of random words and numbers. Besides, there is no information that can identify themselves. For relatively paranoid users, they can also create many new wallets for free.

bitcoin is designed to allow anonymous ownership and use rights. Bitcoin can be stored in personal computers in the form of computer files (wallets) or in third-party hosting services. No matter how it is saved, bitcoin can be sent to anyone on the Internet through its address. The distributed characteristics of P2P and the design of no central management mechanism ensure that no organization can manipulate the value of bitcoin or create inflation. Its main features are as follows:

< UL >

decentralization

< / UL >

bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of the security and freedom of bitcoin

< UL >

circulation around the world

< / UL >

bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin

< UL >

exclusive ownership

< / UL >

the private key is required to manipulate bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself

< UL >

low transaction cost

< / UL >

bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but in the end, a transaction fee of about 1 bit will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster execution of the transaction

< UL >

no hidden cost

< / UL >

as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay

< UL >

cross platform mining

< / UL >

users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms

[bitcoin acquisition method]

first of all, your computer should be installed with the latest version of bitcoin client. After opening the client, all the transaction information data on the network will be automatically downloaded to the local. Depending on the network speed, this process may take several hours. At this time, the account balance is 0. Users can ask friends to send some coins, but a more feasible way is to do mining or merchant acquisition[ 6]

< UL >

mining as a miner

< / UL >

to be a miner is to proce bitcoin with one's own computer. In the early client, there was the option of mining, but it has been cancelled. The reason is very simple. With more and more people participating in mining, it may take several years for one to dig 50 coins, So miners generally organize into miners' guild, and they dig together. Specific mining methods, you can go online search. This method is already very unrealistic

< UL >

as a businessman, you can buy coins g by miners with money, open an online shop to sell things and collect bitcoin, and even go to the exchange to speculate in coins. There are many websites providing bitcoin exchange services, which can be converted into almost any kind of currency. If you really don't know how to exchange, you can also come to laoan for help

the difficulty of bitcoin mining is directly proportional to the amount of money that has been mined. The more difficult it is to mine, the more difficult it will be. After 20 million bitcoins are mined out in 2030, the remaining 1 million bitcoins will probably take decades to be mined out. And bitcoin has no central issuing authority, which is generated by network nodes through complex calculations. Anyone can run bitcoin software on a computer to make it. During circulation, enter the quantity 1 on the client software, then come to the other party's bitcoin address and sign with the payer's password. After that, the bitcoin is the other party's
