The right thing to say about bitcoin
{rrrrrrr}
bitcoin (BTC) is a digital currency with a total amount of 21 million. It has the characteristics of decentralization, globalization and anonymity, just like the Internet. It means that transferring bitcoin to the other end of the earth is as simple as sending e-mail, low-cost and unlimited. Bitcoin is also used in cross-border trade, payment, remittance and other fields
the liquidity and limitation of bitcoin determine that bitcoin can act as a monetary function equivalent to general equivalent, or as a measure of money, but this measure is not a physical measure like gold, but a digital proct
related concepts:
1. Address
the address of bitcoin world looks like this. The address itself is just a string of codes, just like your bank account number 321 million 3288372, which is used to mark an account. Everyone can have countless addresses. The address is public
2. The bank records how much money there is in the bank account
the amount of money in the bitcoin address is recorded by the whole bitcoin network. Each complete bitcoin data will record how many bitcoins are stored in this address
each node participating in the bitcoin network can save a complete of bitcoin data, and everyone has a backup on hand to prevent counterfeiting
3. The key (private key)
the key is another string of characters you only know. The key is used to operate the money in the bitcoin address. Key and address are the relationship between a key and a lock. Each address has only one password, and each password also operates a bitcoin address
with the key, you can control the money in the bitcoin address and pay to anyone. The key should be absolutely safe. The lost or deleted key can never be found, and the money in the corresponding bitcoin address can never be used
the key needs to be kept absolutely secret. Anyone who knows the key can steal all your bitcoin
4. Wallet
the transaction process of bitcoin will involve a lot of complex calculations. In order to simplify the operation, we have made wallets. The wallet has client software on the computer, and also has an online web version. The function of the wallet is to pay with a little touch, and the complicated calculation behind it is left to the wallet to complete
5. Security
if you use the computer client software, you can recommend multibit or bitcoin QT. Both are official software recommendations for the bitcoin community. The installation of these two softwares must be downloaded directly from the official website, and the check code must be checked before and after downloading. This is to prevent someone from tampering with wallet software and stealing keys
6. mining
about every 10 minutes, some new bitcoin will appear in the bitcoin network, which can be imagined as throwing money in the sky. Whose pocket these scattered money fall into mainly depends on whose computer calculates fast. The faster you calculate, the more likely you are to find the money. Mining is to use the computer to calculate, to pick up the money< br />
2. Bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system
3. It's very valuable. In terms of RMB, bitcoin is the serial number of RMB. If you know the serial number of a note, you will have it. At present, one bitcoin is worth $1044
4. To mine bitcoin, you can download the special bitcoin computing tools, register various cooperation websites, fill the registered user name and password into the computing program, and then click the operation to officially start. After completing the installation of bitcoin client, you can directly obtain a bitcoin address. When others pay, you only need to paste the address to others, and you can pay through the same client. After installing the bitcoin client, it will distribute a private key and a public key. You need to back up your wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, personal bitcoin will be completely lost
finally, I would like to warn you that
bit will one day become US $500000
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.
Recently, the price of bitcoin has soared. Is there anyone behind this phenomenon controlling the price of bitcoin? I think the possibility of artificially controlling the price of bitcoin is very low. The overall market value of bitcoin has reached hundreds of billions of dollars. It is very difficult to control the price of bitcoin. Now bitcoin is one of the most mature digital currencies in the market, and has basically realized market-oriented transactions
recently bitcoin prices rose too fast, there is a certain bubble risk, but bitcoin as an internationally known digital currency, many institutions for bitcoin value is long-term good, in the long run, bitcoin price still has certain room for growth. But in the process of purchasing, we must control the risk. There is no limit on the rise and fall of bitcoin, and the price will fluctuate greatly. We should use leverage carefully to operate bitcoin
1. Bitcoin's long-term investors are turning into short-term investors
2. The transfer of wealth is behind the soaring price
3. Most of the transactions of bitcoin come from exchanges, and a large number of them are used in the real economy

Banks are not willing to cooperate with cryptocurrency companies and exchanges, and many operations are compliant
extended information:
purchase method:
users can buy bitcoin, at the same time, they can also use the computer to "mine" bitcoin according to the algorithm. When users "mine" bitcoin, they need to search for 64 bit numbers by computer
and then, by repeatedly solving mysteries, compete with other gold miners to provide the required numbers for the bitcoin network. If the user's computer successfully creates a set of numbers, it will get 25 bitcoins
e to the decentralized programming adopted by the bitcoin system, only 25 bitcoins can be obtained every 10 minutes, and by 2140, the maximum number of bitcoins in circulation will reach 21 million. In other words, bitcoin system is able to achieve self-sufficiency, resist inflation through coding, and prevent others from destroying these codes
Bitcoin is a kind of electronic cryptocurrency based on blockchain, which is decentralized, global, and does not need third-party institutions or indivials. Bitcoin was invented and founded by Nakamoto (pseudonym) on January 3, 2009, based on the peer-to-peer network without borders, using consensus initiative open source software. It is the ancestor of cryptocurrency and blockchain, and is also the cryptocurrency with the highest popularity and market value at present
generally speaking, bitcoin is a digital currency with a total amount of 21 million, which has the characteristics of decentralization, globalization, anonymity and so on, just like the Internet. Transferring bitcoin to the other side of the earth is as simple, low-cost and unlimited as sending e-mail. Bitcoin is therefore used in cross-border trade, payment, remittance and other fields

the global financial crisis broke out in 2008. On November 1, 2008, a person who called himself Nakamoto published bitcoin white paper "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system" on the P2P foundation website, stating his new idea of e-currency bitcoin. On January 3, 2009, bitcoin Genesis block was born
compared with fiat money, bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer, but is generated by the calculation of network nodes. Anyone can participate in the manufacture of bitcoin, and it can circulate all over the world. It can be bought and sold on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where they are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin, And in the transaction process, foreigners can not identify the user's identity information
as a standardized, globalized, highly volatile, 24-hour and never-ending trading target, bitcoin is more volatile than stocks, foreign exchange, precious metals and other electronic disk targets; In terms of standardized trading, soaring history and future prospects, it is better than the physical speculation targets such as stamps and coins, garlic, Pu'er tea and Huangli wood, so it has attracted a lot of hot money to participate in the speculation
at present, the funds attracted by bitcoin as the target of speculation far exceed the funds attracted by the payment system. At least half of the price of each yuan is the value of the target of speculation
reference: network bitcoin
bitcoin is proced by mining. Mining is the process of consuming computing resources to process transactions, ensuring network security and keeping everyone's information synchronized in the network. It can be understood as the data center of bitcoin. The difference lies in its completely decentralized design. Miners operate all over the world, and no one can control the network. This process is called "mining" because it is similar to gold panning, because it is also a temporary mechanism for issuing new bitcoin. However, unlike gold panning, bitcoin mining provides rewards for services that ensure the safe operation of payment networks. After the last bitcoin, mining is still necessary
the total number of bitcoin is 21 million, and more than 1300 points have been mined. Bitcoin was invented by a person or organization named Nakamoto in 2009. At present, Nakamoto has disappeared. He is a mysterious figure. No one knows who he is.
