What is decentralized virtual currency

1. Investment should be cautious, please study carefully before deciding
virtual currency is a currency that can buy goods and services in a specific community in a virtual space. It has the monetary function of medium of exchange and unit of account
virtual currency can be roughly divided into three categories
the first category
has nothing to do with real currency, and can only be used in a closed virtual environment, usually online games, such as world of Warcraft
the second type of one-way exchange can only be used in a virtual environment, and sometimes physical goods and services can be purchased, such as frequent flyer award program, microsoft points, Nintendo points, Facebook credits and Amazon coin
the third type of two-way exchange, which has a buying price and a selling price, is the same as "real" currency, including those issued by issuers, such as second life Linden coin, two-way exchangeable game currency, etc., as well as decentralized cryptocurrencies, such as bitcoin, Leyte coin, Ethereum, etc; Virtual currency & quot; But cryptocurrency is only one of the subcategories of virtual currency.

2. 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.

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. That is, no one can control, not be controlled by the living center of a living group. Therefore, it can not be used as legal tender recognized by the state. There are a group of money speculators who argue that virtual currency will replace paper money every day. It's all bullshit. We must pay attention to investment risks. Now there are many pyramid schemes with virtual digital currency gimmicks to cheat money

5. Blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. Blockchain is an important concept of bitcoin. It is essentially a decentralized database. There are more and more applications of blockchain, but the main application is bitcoin. After all, it can make money by investment. If you are interested, you might as well open an account number at the okex bitcoin exchange.

6. In short, there are three ways:

7.

1. Efficiency is different: the efficiency of decentralized network is higher than that of centralized network, but conversely, the security of centralized network is higher. On the whole, centralized network is suitable for high security applications

2. Different characteristics: centralized network means that each time two client computers communicate with each other through the server. The decentralized network is the initial need to go through the server, later communication does not need the server

3. Different costs: the characteristics of collective maintenance of blockchain can rece a lot of costs. The centralized network involves the maintenance, confidentiality, operation and so on of many systems, which must require a lot of human, financial and material resources. These things do not exist for the decentralization of blockchain, so they can save a lot of costs

in the aspect of blockchain governance, an interesting trend recently is the re emergence of online virtual currency holder voting as a multi-purpose decision-making mechanism. Sometimes the vote of the coin holder is used to decide who runs the super node of the network (e.g. dpos in EOS, Neo, lisk and other systems), sometimes the protocol parameters are voted (e.g. the upper limit of Ethereum fuel supply), and sometimes the vote and direct application of approval (e.g. tezos) protocol upgrade are also concted

in all these cases, voting is automatic, and the protocol itself contains all the logic needed to change the verifier set or update its own rules, and automatically responds to the voting results
