Decentralization is the biggest selling point of bitcoin
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
The decentralization of blockchain refers to the form of social relations and content generation formed in the process of blockchain development. It is a new network content proction process relative to "centralization"
blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin, which is essentially a decentralized database. At the same time, as the underlying technology of bitcoin, it is a series of data blocks generated by using cryptographic methods. Each data block contains the information of a batch of bitcoin network transactions, which is used to verify the effectiveness of its information (anti-counterfeiting) and generate the next block
blockchain is unified in the whole network, so it is logically centralized. From the perspective of architecture, blockchain is based on peer-to-peer network, so it is decentralized. From the perspective of governance, blockchain makes it difficult for a few people to control the whole system through consensus algorithm, so it is decentralized

characteristics of blockchain Decentralization:
decentralization, not without the center, but by the node to freely choose the center, freely determine the center. In short, centralization means that the center determines the node. The node must depend on the center, and the node cannot survive without the center
in a decentralized system, anyone is a node, and anyone can be a center. Any center is not permanent, but phased, and no center is mandatory for nodes
with the diversification of network service forms, the decentralized network model becomes more and more clear and possible. After the rise of Web2.0, the services provided by Wikipedia, Flickr, blogger and other network service providers are decentralized. Any participant can submit content, and Internet users can create or contribute content together

(1) Bitcoin was originally a kind of network virtual currency to buy real-life goods
(2) advantages:
< UL >completely decentralized, without issuing institutions, it is impossible to manipulate the number of issues
anonymity, tax exemption and supervision free
robustness. Bitcoin is completely dependent on P2P network and has no distribution center, so it cannot be shut down externally
cross border
it's difficult for the cat to survive
(3) disadvantages:
< UL >the vulnerability of trading platform
transaction confirmation takes a long time
the price fluctuates greatly
the public did not understand the principle, and the traditional financial practitioners resisted
bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer. It is generated by the calculation of network nodes. It can be bought and sold on any computer connected to the Internet, and has a strong scarcity
Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency. The whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
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
exclusive ownership: private key is required to manipulate bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
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
no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
cross platform Mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms

The original intention of Nakamoto's design of bitcoin is to build a point-to-point trading network that is decentralized, transaction information can not be tampered with, and the total amount of money is constant, so as to solve the problems of excessive issuance of legal currency and inflation
this is the value of bitcoin's initial design, to keep the purchasing power of money
But later, the development of bitcoin went against Nakamoto's idea. In the past nine years, the price of bitcoin soared by millions of times, creating countless myths of sudden wealth and driving another instry miningthe value of bitcoin has become a tool for "sudden wealth". More and more people join the bitcoin network, hoping to achieve financial freedom. Digital cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin have become investment procts, like diamonds or gold
by purchasing bitcoin, people can achieve the purpose of wealth appreciation and asset preservation in many troubled areas. At the same time, many people make use of the fluctuation of bitcoin price to speculate, such as moving bricks, making bands and so on
another important value of bitcoin can not be ignored is blockchain, the underlying technology of bitcoin. Because of the popularity of bitcoin, many companies and indivials begin to pay attention to blockchain, and constantly try to use blockchain technology to change the existing business and create new value. It is with the help of bitcoin that blockchain has achieved such rapid development
bitcoin is also a great social experiment for all mankind, which promotes the reform of the financial instry and gives many original things a new perspective
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, 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
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 a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation.

Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. 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 million
bitcoin 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
