What is not decentralized is bitcoin

1. bitcoin is valuable under certain circumstances, but it is worthless under certain circumstances. Because it's not legal tender. It is impossible for any country to get the right to issue legal tender to use any mining machine. Bitcoin is just a virtual number. While it's still possible to change money, change it quickly! It's too late to wait until it's worthless at the end.

2. This is not necessarily true. After all, it is a digital cryptocurrency, each of which is separate and not stored on the website.

3. For example, I borrow money from you in a village. Normally, if I am afraid that you will not repay the money, I can find an intermediary recognized by everyone, such as the village head as the guarantor, and sign an IOU. In this way, if you default at that time, I can find an intermediary to prove that you really owe me money, But there are two problems: 1. What if the village head finds out that his long lost son colludes with him to cheat you on money? 2. What if the middleman dies on the spot the next day! This is about trust and security. If the method of blockchain is to provide you with the certificate of the whole village (distributed), so that everyone knows about it and the other party can't default on it. Second, even if a small number of people or village heads deny (some nodes commit crimes) that they have lost the IOU or tampered with the content, there will still be others to make the basis

above, explain the two problems of building owners: 1. Decentralization, because the account book records are not centralized in the hands of each participant, and you will get paid if you save and keep accounts. 2. Since I can get rewards by saving and keeping accounts, can I just keep accounts instead of storing them? If you have a mining pool, you can keep accounts for it and store it for you. In this way, you can still get good rewards. There are only a few mining pools in the world, so they are centralized

4. Because most people do not have the courage and ability to challenge the strongest hegemonists in the world. Nakamoto also wanted to vent his anger before he created bitcoin, but something unexpected happened to him. He successfully challenged the hegemonists! But he was also afraid for various reasons and did not dare to go on the road any more. Nakamoto also came up with the idea of decentralizing money under the condition that the excessive issuance of coins led to the rapid shrinkage of personal income for many years. Bitcoin was just put forward by him, and was jointly completed by more knowledgeable friends on the Internet.

Bitcoin is a kind of electronic currency / network virtual currency

bitcoin: also known as "bitcoin", is a kind of network virtual currency. Internet users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual goods, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. Internet users can also use bitcoin to buy real goods

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

extended data:

currency features:

1, decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, the whole network is composed of users, and there is no 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

advantages of bitcoin:

1, it is completely decentralized, without issuing institutions, it is impossible to manipulate the number of issues. Its distribution and circulation are realized through open-source P2P algorithm

2, anonymity, tax exemption and supervision free

3, robustness. Bitcoin is completely dependent on P2P network and has no distribution center, so it cannot be shut down externally. Bitcoin price may fluctuate and collapse, and many governments may declare it illegal, but bitcoin and its huge P2P network will not disappear

4, borderless and cross-border. Cross border remittance will go through layers of exchange control agencies, and the transaction records will be recorded by many parties. But if you trade with bitcoin, enter the digital address directly, click the mouse and wait for the P2P network to confirm the transaction, a lot of money will pass. It does not go through any regulatory agencies and will not leave any cross-border transaction records

5, Shanzhai people are difficult to survive. Because bitcoin algorithm is completely open source, anyone can download the source code, modify some parameters, recompile, and create a new P2P currency

but these counterfeit currencies are very fragile and vulnerable to 51% attacks. Any indivial or organization, as long as it controls 51% of the computing power of a P2P currency network, can manipulate transactions and currency value at will, which will be a devastating blow to P2P currency

many counterfeit coins die in this link. The bitcoin network is robust enough. If you want to control 51% of the computing power of the bitcoin network, the number of CPUs / GPUs required will be astronomical

the weakness of bitcoin

1, the fragility 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

2, 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

3, 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 trading

4, 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 distinguish 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

6. Litecoin is a kind of network currency based on "peer-to-peer" technology, which can help users pay to anyone in the world immediately. At present, lightcoin is the second virtual currency after bitcoin in global circulation market value. The legends of bitcoin, Wright silver, infinite copper and pennies aluminum (Internet) are popular in the circle. The popular digital currencies in 2013 include bitcoin, Leyte coin, zeta coin, pennies (Internet), invisible gold bar, red coin, pole coin, BBQ coin and prime currency. At present, hundreds of digital currencies are issued all over the world. Litecoin is inspired by bitcoin (BTC), and has the same implementation principle in technology. The creation and transfer of litecoin is based on an open source encryption protocol, which is not managed by any central authority. Litecoin aims to improve bitcoin. Compared with bitcoin, litecoin has three significant differences. First, the liteoin network can process a block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), so it can provide faster transaction confirmation. Second, the output of litecoin network is expected to be 84 million litecoin, which is four times the amount of currency issued by bitcoin network. Thirdly, the scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival is used in litcoin's workload proof algorithm, which makes it easier to mine litcoin on ordinary computer than bitcoin. Each litecain is divided into 100000000 smaller units, defined by eight decimal places. Lightcoin needs to be generated by "miner's mining". Mining is done by hashing with computer graphics card. If the value of "mine burst" is calculated, the system will reward 50 lightcoin at one time. At present, the computing power of lightcoin is growing rapidly, and miner can't dig mine through several computers. Therefore, it needs to be added to the mine pool, which collects all the computing power, It is estimated that the probability of calculating the "blasting" value is higher. At present, the well-known ore pools abroad include: wemineltc, coinotron, etc

7. This is based on a specific code. A specific number of coins are limited, so many are made, many are printed, so the proportion of bitcoin is very unstable, and it is normal to rise or fall by thousands
mining is equivalent to using a mining machine (which looks like a computer host, but it's very difficult to kneel down for tens of thousands) to find it on the Internet according to calculation
what else do you don't understand
