BTC and silver
was released on October 7, 2011. It is currently the highest market value counterfeit coin, about 1% of BTC's market value, or US $1000W. Compared with BTC, LTC is faster, with an average of 2.5 minutes and 6 confirmations per block in 15 minutes. In addition, the number of LTCs is four times that of BTCs, with a total of 8400w. At present, LTC uses scrypt algorithm, which needs a lot of memory support. The professional mining machine on the market can not be used for LTC mining, only the graphics card
what is the difference between lightcoin and bitcoin
1. Transaction: easier to use, larger volume and greater appreciation potential. The block confirmation time is shorter, which is four times faster than bitcoin. For example, pizza owners are more willing to accept LTC payment to save transaction time< Mining:
special algorithm creates the unique charm of LTC, which is also the key to stand out from Shanzhai coins. Scrypt algorithm uses sha256 as its subroutine, and scrypt itself needs a lot of memory, each hash is used as the input seed, and then needs a lot of memory to store another seed pseudo-random sequence, Generate pseudo-random points of sequence and output hash value. The key is that scrypt algorithm needs a lot of memory while sha256 algorithm does not. So in this era when BTC mining of graphics card is coming to an end, LTC mining is about to usher in a golden period of development. Because of the high cost of memory, any ASIC or FPGA has no advantage over graphics card mining. LTC has advantages, at least in the foreseeable future
3. The biggest threat of bitcoin is 51% attack:
some shanzhais are killed by 51% attack. To be honest, LTC is a worry for the development of LTC and BTC, of course. However, the specific problems they face are different: BTC can avoid 51% attack through technology upgrading (such as end block reconstruction, careful node upgrading, and calculation difficulty), However, there is no way to evade LTC technology. However, e to the scattered computing power of graphics card mining and the increasing difficulty, this problem needs to be paid attention to, but don't worry too much. With the use of ASIC in BTC, the risk of 51% attack is increasing. I hope BTC development team can solve this problem as soon as possible.
BTC, usdt, ETH, BCH, LTC mean respectively:
1, BTC
bitcoin. The concept was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, the open source software is designed and released, and the P2P network is built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
2, usdt
TEDA currency is a virtual currency that links cryptocurrency with legal currency US dollar, and is a virtual currency kept in foreign exchange reserve account and supported by legal currency
EthEthereum is an open source public blockchain platform with intelligent contract function, which provides decentralized Ethereum virtual machine to process point-to-point contract through its special cryptocurrency ether
4. BCH
bitcoin cash is a new version of bitcoin with different configurations launched by a small number of bitcoin developers
at 20:20 on August 1, 2017, bitcoin cash starts mining, and each bitcoin investor's account will have the same amount of bitcoin cash (BCH)
5, LTC
litecoin, abbreviated as LTC, currency symbol: & # 321;; It is a kind of network currency based on "peer-to-peer" technology. It is also an open source software project under MIT / X11 license. It can help users make instant payments to anyone in the world

extended data:
virtual currency refers to non real currency. Well known virtual currency, such as network company's network currency, Tencent company's Q currency, Q point, Shanda company's voucher, Sina's Micro currency (used for micro games, Sina reading, etc.), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), silver pattern (used for bixue Qingtian game)
the popular digital currencies in 2013 are bitcoin, Leyte coin, infinite coin, quark coin, zeta coin, BBQ coin, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bar, red coin and prime currency. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world. Popular in the circle & quot; The legend of "bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper, pennies aluminum"
bitcoin, a blockchain based digital currency, is often regarded as a global safe haven asset like gold. In this age of global turmoil, even gold has become unreliable and may be confiscated as India has. Some people have begun to think that bitcoin can replace gold, because bitcoin not only has the reserve capacity of gold, but also has some capabilities that gold does not have, such as low handling charges, rapid transfer capacity, decentralization and so on. With the increasing popularity of bitcoin and the decreasing volatility, the status of gold has been threatened
will bitcoin shake the status of gold?
gold has a long history, almost as long as the history of human civilization, and has withstood numerous tests in history. Bitcoin is less than a decade old, but its value has risen sharply. There is no support behind bitcoin. Of course, since the end of the gold standard, there has been no support from other currencies, except that there is no support from the central bank behind bitcoin. It's hard to predict whether bitcoin will exist in the next decade, a hundred years or even a thousand years.
money is widely accepted as a medium of exchange and a means of payment. Although bitcoin and silver can be used as means of payment, they will not be directly linked to any currency. At the same time, unlike money, both gold and bitcoin are in limited supply. The gold supply of the earth depends on the underground reserves, and the creation limit of bitcoin is 21 million
difference: silver is a commodity, but bitcoin is not
silver can be used in business, is a hard asset, and can be used as instrial supplies and commodity materials. But bitcoin can't be held, it's just a virtual currency
at the same time, bitcoin and silver must have serious limitations in terms of utility and storage. The value of bitcoin is mainly concentrated in speculation, which is strictly controlled by various countries. Recently, China has also launched a crackdown on bitcoin
however, silver has a great hedging effect on inflation. With the increasingly severe international political environment, silver investment will become more and more popular.
Bitcoin's popularity means that gold, which is also a safe haven asset, will also usher in a rising opportunity
gold is a traditional wealth inheritance asset, which is easy to carry and store, and has a higher recognition. Although bitcoin has its advantages, people's trust in it is still not high. As a wealth storage tool, bitcoin faces many risks, such as government regulation, bitcoin code problems, and other electronic currency competition, which can lead to its value becoming zero
Before the 1970s, the price of gold was basically decided by governments or central banks, and the international price of gold was relatively stable. In the early 1970s, the gold price was no longer directly linked to the US dollar, the gold price was graally marketized, and the factors affecting the gold price were increasing. Specifically, it can be divided into the following aspects: the gold stock on the earth: there are about 137400 tons of gold in the world, and the stock of gold on the earth is still growing at a rate of about 2% every year
annual supply and demand: the annual supply and demand of gold is about 4200 tons, and the annual new output of gold accounts for 62% of the annual supply
cost of new gold mining: the average total cost of gold mining is slightly less than $260 / oz. Due to the development of mining technology, the cost of gold development has continued to decline in the past 20 years
political, military and economic changes in gold procing countries: no doubt any political and military turbulence in these countries will directly affect the amount of gold proced in the country, and then affect the world gold supply
Central Bank's gold selling: the central bank is the largest holder of gold in the world. In 1969, the official gold reserve was 36458 tons, accounting for 42.6% of the total surface gold stock at that time. In 1998, the official gold reserve was about 34000 tons, accounting for 24.1% of the total gold stock that has been mined. In terms of proction capacity, this is equivalent to 13 years of world gold proction
because the main use of gold has graally changed from an important reserve asset to a metal raw material for jewelry proction, or to improve the country's balance of payments, or to curb the international gold price, the central bank's gold reserves have declined greatly in both absolute and relative quantities in the past 30 years, The decline in the amount of gold mainly depends on the gold market to sell off inventory reserves of gold
for example, the Bank of England's large-scale selling, the Swiss central bank and the International Monetary Fund's preparation to rece gold reserves have become the main reasons for the decline of gold price in the international gold market
Since the birth of bitcoin in 2009, the first price to buy bitcoin in 2010 was about US $0.0025. At a price of $27000, bitcoin has risen 10.8 million times since its birth< In other words, the original investment of RMB 1 can buy 61.3 bitcoins, and the current position value is RMB 10.8 million even with bitcoin's amazing growth, Citibank recently announced a target price of $300000, which is 11 times the current price
Although centralized trading has many fatal disadvantages. 100% of the existing currencies and banks in the world are issued or abandoned by the National Central Bank, and ordinary people cannot participate in the issuance of currencies and banks or the central bank accounts. If the Central Bank continues to issue money silver, it will continuously dilute people's money silver and rece the purchasing power of money silver. It's not shocking at all. This has happened in some countries in the world. Take Zimbabwe as an example. In recent years, the government issued a large number of currency and silver, which led to the collapse of Zimbabwe's economy. Finally, the US dollar had to be introced into the local legal currency and silver< Economists are considering replacing bitcoin in Zimbabwe with data
