The political foundation of bitcoin

1. Germany
at the end of June 2013, after the German parliament decided that bitcoin would be tax-free if it was held for more than one year, bitcoin was recognized as a "unit of account" by the German Ministry of finance, which means that bitcoin has been regarded as a legal currency in Germany and can be used to pay taxes and engage in trade activities< In August 2013, judge Amos mazant of Texas District Court ruled in a case of bitcoin virtual hedge fund that bitcoin is a kind of currency and should be included in the scope of financial regulation
legal status
bitcoin can still be considered as legal at present. In the world, bitcoin can be regarded as a virtual commodity and protected by law; If bitcoin cannot be officially recognized as a kind of currency by law, it may bring inconvenience to the businesses and indivials who accept bitcoin in tax declaration, because the businesses who accept bitcoin will be regarded as barter transactions, and such transactions are more troublesome than ordinary transactions in tax declaration
at the same time, bitcoin, as a commodity highly similar to currency, needs to meet the demand of anti money laundering. Bitcoin needs to be included in the personal property declaration, banking anti money laundering system, anti insider trading, anti market manipulation and other systems in terms of transaction and possession. Bitcoin exchanges and storage institutions may also need government supervision and licensing. Some fast-growing bitcoin exchanges and payment service providers are actively exploring cooperation with regulatory agencies to bring bitcoin payment into the regulatory framework of anti money laundering and anti-terrorism financing by applying for licenses and actively communicating with regulatory authorities
in Europe, the European Central Bank published a report on "virtual currency architecture", and the French bitcoin trading platform obtained the PSP qualification. On December 6, 2012, the central bank wrote in the report: "this report is the first attempt to provide a basis for discussing the virtual currency system. While these systems may play an active role in financial innovation and in providing consumers with alternative means of payment, they also clearly create risks. " "Because of the small size of virtual currency systems, these risks do not affect anyone other than the users of these systems," the report added The report reviews the history of bitcoin and reviews its basic features, including currency and technical operation.

bitcoin is a new type of virtual currency, which is generated by a large number of calculations based on special algorithms. According to rigorous calculations, the stock of bitcoin is limited, with a total of 21 million, no more or less. After being created, bitcoin has rapidly become a "fixed asset" pursued by Internet speculators

3.

Novice first of all to know how to calculate your cost, recharge, trading, cash, there are fees. At least you can understand the K-line. There are a lot of people on the K-line. You can look at it casually and understand it. You need to be risk aware. Bitcoin is a high-risk and high profit investment. It may double overnight, or BMW may become a bicycle overnight. At the beginning, we suggest a small amount of investment

but it's hard to get bitcoin for indivial mining, so it's basically large-scale mining, and you need to cooperate with the mine pool. So if you still want to make money by mining, at present, the most suitable mining method is cloud mining or mining machine hosting. After all, the era of single person mining is over

4. This is where the myth of bitcoin really takes over. According to legend, Satoshi Nakamoto, an unknown person, released an agreement on the digital point-to-point system of decentralized digital currency on October 31, 2008. I urge you to read this short and wonderful paper. While the idea behind bitcoin is revolutionary, it can now begin to make more sense in the context of all other systems, not all of them. Bitcoin proposed blockchain as a synchronous network to solve the probability consensus. According to BFT, from having less than 50% of the total network hash rate of Byzantine rivals Security is achieved in different ways than other historical protocols. Blockchain is designed to support availability rather than consistency, and can support thousands of distributed nodes. The cost of decentralization is much lower throughput in terms of transactions per second (TPS).

5. The definition of bitcoin in Chinese law:
according to the regulations on the administration of RMB, the proction and sale of token tickets are prohibited. Because there is no clear judicial interpretation of the definition of token ticket, if bitcoin is included in the "token ticket", the legal prospect of bitcoin in China will face uncertainty< On June 4, 2009, the notice of the Ministry of culture and the Ministry of Commerce on strengthening the management of virtual currency in online games (Wen Shi Fa [2009] No. 20) stated that the scope of application of virtual currency in online games was defined for the first time, and a distinction was made between the current virtual currency in online games and the virtual props in games; At the same time, the notice said that the "notice" stipulates that enterprises engaged in related services must be approved before they can operate
in China, some Taobao stores have begun to accept the use of bitcoin, and the number of businesses will graally increase
in October 2013, the first bitcoin quarterly, one bit, was released
on October 15, 2013, the network accelerator service of the network announced its support for bitcoin
on October 26, 2013, btcmini reported that GBL was hacked
on October 31, 2013, Lei Teng, a famous Internet lawyer, proposed the event of "filing a case to investigate the closure of GBL bitcoin trading platform as soon as possible", analyzed the "value function" and "use function" of bitcoin, and bitcoin should be governed by relevant laws.

6. We need to understand the background of bitcoin. In 2008, there was a world economic crisis. The capital of financial institutions did not work well, and all the capital chains broke. In order to save the crisis, the United States used its advantage of US dollar settlement to take a bad way: "printing money". As the whole international system is based on the US dollar, as the settlement tool of the US dollar, the printing of money has led to the increase of the US dollar bubble. The result is that the whole world has helped the United States repay its debts, and the financial crisis has spread from the United States to the whole world. As you can see, the US dollar, as a legal currency, is full of politics and easy to be manipulated by one party. In this context, bitcoin emerged as a non political, non centralized alternative to the legal currency system

7. 1. At present, the concept of bitcoin is too advanced to be popular as the mainstream currency in the world. This is e to the political and economic factors of various countries
2. For the time being, the world's major powers will not declare bitcoin legalization within 20 years, because the rules for the issuance and generation of bitcoin are not in the hands of national willers, but rather operational rules. It's its genes
3. Many people firmly believe that bitcoin is limited. Maybe one day they will find that bitcoin is not limited. It's just that capital speculation needs a concept and a means.
