Why can't you hold bitcoin
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 trading4. 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

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 millionbitcoin 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
As long as the influence of bitcoin scam is not particularly bad, the government generally adopts the policy that the people do not sue, the officials do not blame, and turn a blind eye to it. Because even if the government enters, it is difficult to find the culprit. The information of some operation teams is not public, and it is difficult to find it on the Internet. Some of them are still abroad, so it is difficult to solve the case. Some of the culprits turn around and become victims. There are also those who participated in the bitcoin pyramid scheme. A large number of victims are also the biggest accomplices< br />
however, bitcoin is still the most popular decentralized virtual currency so far, but no one can guarantee that it will always be in this position. Now there are some alternative currencies inspired by bitcoin. However, a more reasonable assumption is that the new currency needs significant improvements to replace bitcoin in the established market. Of course, these are still unpredictable. Without changing the basic composition of the protocol, bitcoin may also adopt some measures to improve the competitive currency.
every 10 minutes, the miners of the whole network work together to solve a problem and compete for bookkeeping rights and bitcoin rewards. If the computing power of the whole network continues to grow, bitcoin will soon be g out
in order to ensure the stability of bitcoin and dig out a block in about 10 minutes, Nakamoto Tsung designed that the difficulty of getting bitcoin from miners' mining should be dynamically adjusted every 2016 blocks (about 2 weeks). After the adjustment, the expected time for each block to be generated is 10 minutes
the current difficulty coefficient is about 480ph / s, which is about 68 billion times that of Genesis block. In other words, with the current computing power, the miners in the whole network need to go through about 300 trillion hash operations to find a qualified answer and generate a new block.
Second, bitcoin, as a financial currency in China, will directly adjust the status of RMB as the only legal tender, resulting in the decline of RMB's status
thirdly, the investment in bitcoin was in full swing before, resulting in a large amount of outflow of local currency, which will have a very negative impact on the domestic economy.
