Transaction cost of digital currency
first line: mining, mining machine, mine (ore pool)
all three are related to mining, but they are also different
Mining: we don't discuss the technical details here. From the perspective of profit, mining has the lowest threshold. Even if we need professional mining machinery now, we can still buy a mining machine to make money. If we become bigger, we can open a mine. Without talking about the risk, mining is the simplest way to make money. The investment cost is low, the rate of return is high, and the time cost is high
mining machinery: the business of manufacturing mining machinery is very hot, and there is a high threshold, so it is difficult for non professionals to become manufacturers. Ant mining machine in the bull market does not worry about selling. Especially after 1994, as far as I know, foreign domestic ore feeders were towed away by trucks. However, the threshold of manufacturers is already very high, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get in touch with them, so there are two dealers. Mining business contact is not much, the second-hand market seems to be very chaotic
mines (ore pools) of course, mines and ore pools are inseparable. Why? The mine pool exists in order to avoid the risk of the mine. The mine pool will pay the cost of the miners according to the time according to the calculation force. Of course, it also needs to draw a percentage, and the miners will be able to keep their income from drought and flood. But the only thing to do is to bring people to the mine. Offline mines are also managed by their own machines, and can also be managed by others. There is a certain threshold, risk and income coexist
second line: information platform, exchange, wallet, currency speculation
consulting platform: something that must exist in the Internet era, providing information and consulting aggregation. The first thing new people come into contact with is information media. In the 17 years since the outbreak of digital currency, bitcoin's Internet search index has exploded. Many people want to know about digital currency, so such an information platform is sure to survive. Drainage, content, value realization and value extension are generally the ways of making profits
exchange: the best understanding is that all flows and proction currencies are for trading. Only when a transaction has a price can it be valued. Many problems will also be found in the transaction, such as the famous "bitcoin expansion". Only by finding and solving problems can the instry develop better. We all know the mode of making money in the exchange. It's the makers who make money. It's just like casinos and securities dealers. They lose more money and earn less, but the exchange is stable. In addition to the handling charges, it seems that the money charge is also a profit model. The threshold of the exchange is also high. In addition to trading risk and platform risk, it pays more attention to policy dynamics. Big exchanges now have "currency exchange", "fire currency" and so on
wallets: both hot and cold wallets are procts, and coin circles are just needed for this kind of procts. Online wallet is generally free, and then through other ways to make money, such as usually do exchanges, or there are investment activities
currency speculation: simple speculation, uncontrollable risk, too many factors affecting the price. We can envy the good luck of others, but we should not hope that we have such good luck. Therefore, there are generally three modes of currency speculation, which can be more "smart" to avoid risks: 1. Fixed investment 2. Quantitative trading 3. Arbitrage: spot move brick, futures arbitrage. Now, it seems that there is a fourth kind of profit margin in the OTC channel.
ways to purchase digital currency:
at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct. Due to the lack of a strong guarantee institution to maintain its price stability, its role as a measure of value has not yet appeared, nor can it be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, the development of digital currency is inseparable from trading platforms, operating companies and investors
trading platforms play the role of trading agents, while some play the role of market makers. The profits of these trading platforms come from the current expenses and premium income of investors trading or holding digital currency
1. Investors need to register accounts first, and obtain digital currency accounts and US dollar or other foreign exchange accounts at the same time
2. Users can use the money in their cash account to buy and sell digital currency, just like buying and selling stocks and futures
3. The trading platform will sort the buying and selling requests according to the rules and start matching. If the requirements are met, the transaction will be completed
4. Due to the difference between the trading volume submitted by users, the trading request can be partially executed
take RBM operated by professional operation company opencoin as an example: ripple protocol was originally designed based on payment method, and its design idea was based on acquaintance relationship network and trust chain. Using ripple network for remittance or loan, the premise is that the payee and the payer must be friends or have common friends. Otherwise, the trust chain between users and other users cannot be established, and the transmission cannot be carried out
extended information:
the characteristics of digital currency are as follows:
1, low transaction cost
compared with traditional bank transfer, remittance and other methods, digital currency transaction does not need to pay fees to the third party, and its transaction cost is lower, especially compared with the cross-border payment of high handling charges to payment service providers
2, fast transaction speed
the blockchain technology used in digital currency has the characteristics of decentralization, and it does not need any centralized organization similar to the clearing center to process data, so the transaction processing speed is faster
3, high anonymity
in addition to the physical form of currency can achieve peer-to-peer transactions without intermediary participation, one of the advantages of digital currency compared with other electronic payment methods is that it supports remote peer-to-peer payment, and it does not need any trusted third party as intermediary
both sides of the transaction can complete the transaction in a completely strange situation without mutual trust, so they have higher anonymity and can protect the privacy of the traders, but at the same time, they also create convenience for cyber crime, which is easy to be used by money laundering and other criminal activities
the core characteristics of digital currency are mainly reflected in three aspects:
firstly, e to some open algorithms, digital currency has no issuing subject, so no one or organization can control its issuing
because the number of algorithm solutions is determined, the total amount of digital currency is fixed, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of inflation caused by the overuse of virtual currency
③ as the transaction process needs the approval of each node in the network, the transaction process of digital currency is safe enough
at the same time, digital currency is also a kind of venture capital. Some people can make profits in this market, while others can make losses in this market. To make money from digital currency investment, one is mining, the other is trading through the platform. Digital currency has price fluctuations, which is theoretically investable
warm tips: the above explanations are for reference only, and do not represent any suggestions. Before investing, it is suggested that you first understand the risks existing in the project, and understand the investors, investment institutions, chain activity and other information of the project, rather than blindly investing or mistakenly entering the capital market. Investment is risky, so we should be cautious when entering the market

whether electronic currency can be called currency depends on whether electronic currency can independently perform the function of currency. At present, e-money can play the role of payment and settlement, but e-money is only a quasi currency that may perform the function of currency.
e-money can be divided into two types: one is e-cash based on the Internet environment and keeps the binary data representing the value of money in the hard disk of the computer terminal; One is the electronic wallet that keeps the monetary value in the IC card and can be circulated without the bank payment system
therefore, from an economic point of view, the use of e-money can indeed rece the circulation of paper money
