Computing speed of blockchain
In 2009, bencong invented bitcoin, and set that there are only 21 million bitcoins. By participating in the proction of blocks and providing proof of work (POW), he can get the reward of bitcoin network. This process is mining
the concept of "mining" comes from the existing concepts in our real economic life, such as gold mining and silver mining. Because minerals are valuable, it drives people to pay labor to dig
another important point of bitcoin mining is that the miners who participate in mining recognize the value of bitcoin, and some of them are willing to spend money in the bitcoin market. Therefore, the mining of bitcoin is meaningful

currency characteristics of bitcoin
1, decentralized
bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
2, 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
controlling bitcoin requires a private key, 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 in the end, about 1 bitfen transaction fee 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
for example, bitcoin was invented by Zhongben Cong in 2009, and the total number of bitcoin was only 21 million. By participating in the proction of blocks and providing proof of work (POW), we can get the reward of bitcoin network. Mining is the process of packaging and confirming the transactions in the bitcoin system over a period of time, and then recording them on the block
if you need to know more about it, you can look at my account number; Let's discuss
what is moving bricks
when it comes to "moving bricks", you will think of migrant workers or various online jokes, but today we only discuss "moving bricks" in the blockchain market
to describe "moving bricks" in vernacular is to make profits by using the price difference between different exchanges. The same currency has different prices in different markets. Buy it in a cheaper place and sell it in a more expensive place. The middle price difference is your profit
for example, the price of bitcoin BTC is $4000 on exchange a and $4100 on exchange B. after a buys BTC, it can be sold to B and each one can earn $100. This process is called "moving bricks"
In fact, the mining calculation of bitcoin is to do math problems together. The problem stem is the transaction that needs to be recorded. By doing the problem, everyone grabs the bookkeeping right, and the miners can get system rewards and transaction fees. The feature of sha256 algorithm used in bitcoin is that it is easy to verify the known answers correctly, but it is very troublesome to get the answers, and it needs to try one by one. The miner who got the answer first was recognized by everyone as having snatched the right to keep accounts, and the reward was given to him. Let's continue to grab the bookkeeping right of the next question. In short, the significance of these calculations is only to ensure the stability and safety of the whole system, and there is no more significance
it is not comprehensive to regard bitcoin as a by-proct of computing. The generation and issuance of bitcoin, all the transactions and circulation in the bitcoin chain, and the stability of the bitcoin system are the purpose of computing and are integrated. Of course, in addition to maintaining the system, it does not proce other value and procts. This is also a black spot where bitcoin is accused of not being environmentally friendly and wasting resources. In general, bitcoin, as a milestone blockchain digital currency, is e to the huge value of a large amount of computing power investment and user trust. There is no doubt about that
