Maximum circulation of bitcoin
The total number of bitcoins is 21 million
in 2009, when bitcoin was born, block reward was 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25
when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. 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 about 21 million

monetary characteristics
1. Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
2. Global circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
3. Exclusive ownership: private key is needed to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
4. Low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution
5, no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
6. Cross platform mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
but they can be divided down, and there's nothing hard to understand. I have 1 yuan in my wallet. I can also say that I have 10 Jiao, 100 Fen, 1000 Li, 10000 milli, 100000 silk, 1000000 Hu, 10000000 micro. No matter what the unit of measurement is, I will neither become richer nor buy more, nor have any impact on the economy.
The concept of 21 million
bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, open source software was designed and released, and P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
bitcoin is not issued in unlimited quantity, which is different from most currencies. Bitcoin does not rely on a specific currency issuer. But according to the specific algorithm, through a large number of calculations. Its circulation is controlled by software algorithms. The total number is 21 million

generation principle
starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually the special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the infinite (in fact, bitcoin is finite) solutions that can be obtained from the equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique[ 10] In the metaphor of RMB, bitcoin is the serial number of RMB. If you know the serial number of a note, you have the note. The process of mining is to constantly seek the special solution of this equation system through a huge amount of calculation. This equation system is designed to have only 21 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 21 million
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
Yang Fan said that bumeng has been applied in business points, game currency, game props, prepaid cards, e-vouchers, insurance card policies, securitization assets, mutual insurance and other instries and fields. Taking the aviation insurance as an example, sunshine insurance issues the aviation insurance and other insurance types to the blockchain to increase the free circulation of card policies and effectively identify the authenticity of insurance card policies. It is revealed that more types of insurance will be added in the future Sina)
there are many platforms based on blockchain technology, such as domestic ant, foreign Ethereum, decent and so on.
I feel that Babbitt's articles are more complicated, and some of them are more advanced. As a blockchain Xiao, I think the information of chain Oriental is more real-time and can be understood by novices
As a popular new currency, it is publicly prohibited in many countries, but there are still unfair transactions in some countries, including Tesla's bitcoin gene exchange. In a few hours, the 18 millionth bitcoin will be mined, which is also the first cryptocurrency in the world. It's a step up to 20 million{ RRRRR}
one of the difficulties for the current global graphics card is caused by bitcoin, because many bitcoin mine owners used to mine it to obtain benefits., As a result, they buy a lot of equipment, including a lot of electricity, to dig, which is a blow to a global instry
