bitcoin is just a game. If it is promoted as a tool to get rich, it can be regarded as a fraud. Just like the currency in other online games, the only difference is that bitcoin has been standardized since the game was first formulated. It can't be issued indiscriminately, so it can keep its value better than other virtual game props. It is equivalent to the online collection. Bitcoin is a prop in the game, and its value is reflected in the recognition of bitcoin by players: more people play, the value of props in the game is higher; The risk is that he is not the only game, and his algorithm is not the only one. Maybe someone will be able to make other special coins soon. All you need to do is promote the game and sell your props. As for money, bitcoin does not have the basic attributes of money, such as unfair initial distribution and insecure circulation. Money needs to be maintained by the state machine
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, the open source software and the P2P network on it were designed and released. 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 to issue. 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 money circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction
1. Bitcoin (bitcoin) is a kind of network virtual currency, which can buy real-life goods. It is characterized by decentralization, anonymity, and can only be used in the digital world. It does not belong to any country or financial institution, and is not subject to geographical restrictions. It can be exchanged anywhere in the world. Therefore, it is used as a money laundering tool by some criminals
2. On January 7, 2014, Taobao announced that it would ban the sale of Internet virtual currencies such as bitcoin and lightcoin from January 14. On February 26, 2014, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the federal government of the United States, hoping that relevant institutions would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency

1. Enjin (enj)
in the near future, the game instry is the instry most likely to adopt blockchain on a large scale. Enjin coin is the cryptocurrency of virtual goods created by Enjin. Enjin is the "largest online gaming community platform" with more than 250000 gaming communities and 18.7 million registered gamers
Cardano (ADA)compared with Ethereum, EOS and Tron, Cardano is the third generation of decentralized app (DAPP) and smart contract platform. Cardano's design philosophy has the following points:
scalability: with the growth of users, the transaction processing speed is not affected or even faster, such as P2P protocol
interoperability: in the future, there will be countless devices connected to each other, instead of only connecting and forwarding through routers. All kinds of devices can communicate directly through standard general protocol
Sustainability: like bitcoin, Cardano project will not be controlled and influenced by a certain company or organization, which is a safe, decentralized and sustainable development platform
With the popularity of sto (security token offers), Nash also plays an important role. Nash is a kind of registered security token. In the past, Nash participated in and led the development of many projectsNash exchange is a decentralized exchange. If you hold nex token, you can calculate the dividend here
4. Basic attention token (BAT)
bat mainly solves the problem of advertising:
user information is abused: large companies such as Google and Facebook track and use user information and behavior, and sell without the knowledge of users
the effect of advertising is restrained: middlemen earn most of the fees, a large number of advertisements are blocked by users using software, and advertisements are fake
in the past six to 12 months, the number of publishers using the brand browser (Note: the brand browser supports bat token) has grown rapidly, and almost no blockchain ecosystem has grown so fast
5, chainlink (link)
chainlink mainly solves the problem that each blockchain has and the smart contract cannot obtain external data. In order to introce external data into the blockchain, the concept of Oracle is proposed in smart contract
companies including Google are supporting the development of chainlink. Here is a list of chainlink partners
one of the main problems of chainlink is similar to Ethereum. The development team has reserved 650 million link tokens, while only 350 million are in circulation at present
Ethereum (ETH)Ethereum has long occupied the second place in the top 100 cryptocurrencies. Its ecology is so big that we can't call it altcoin now. To tell you the truth, I'm not optimistic about Ethereum in the long run, but it will flourish in the short run
however, this kind of currency is generally not a digital currency, but a marketing currency at most. In fact, it does not have any application scenarios and practical value. This kind of currency is naturally different from innovative digital currencies such as bitcoin, Ruitai and Laite.
the bitcoin market is an extremely crazy market. Some people have become billionaires overnight, while others have been cut leeks. The ups and downs, joys and sorrows of the world are incisively and vividly interpreted anyone who knows about the bitcoin market should know that before, the value of bitcoin was only 1000 yuan, but it rose to 17000 yuan in 2017. With such an appreciation rate, the profits matched with it are also amazing. Bitcoin appeared in 2009. At that time, the value of bitcoin was only US $0.1. Looking at the price in 2017, there is a big difference between the two. If someone had a lot of bitcoin when it first came out, he would be one of the richest now
When the engineer became a billionaire, he began to travel around the world. In fact, he has long had the idea of traveling around the world, but e to economic reasons, it has not been realized. Now, the engineer can live freely and realize his dream of traveling around the world. In an interview with reporters, the engineer also said, although his original job is very good and can provide him with stable income, he has always dreamed of the global world and visiting friends from various countries. Now, he is living the life he wants, and by selling bitcoin, he has got hundreds of millions of assets, which is enough for him to spend his whole lifemoney, as a measure of transaction value, does not necessarily have value in itself, it can only be used as an intermediate unit of measurement. It's just like China has only RMB as legal tender, that is to say, government guarantee has value. For example, in those war-torn areas, ten jin currency may not buy an egg, which is the reason
back to digital currency, digital currency, until now, no country has recognized it as the currency in circulation of its own country. It seems that last year or the year before last, our country also banned some. In this case, digital currency can only be sold at a price higher than your purchase price, so that you can make money. But digital currency itself does not have any value. Unlike stocks, it is your ownership of listed companies. So if you can't find someone to buy digital currency, it's worthless
the Ponzi scheme in history, the Dutch tulip, when it was the most expensive, a tulip was worth buying a house. When no one bought it, all the tulips rotted. In addition, they couldn't get a potato. Therefore, Buffett said that digital money is a bubble, which is a hoax.
in addition, there is a saying in the stock market that when all the ladies in the vegetable market begin to discuss the stock market, it is the time when the stock market reaches its peak. In my opinion, this also applies to digital currency. When many people are discussing how to make money and how to make a lot of money, the risk has accumulated to a great extent. Most of the time, when the stock begins to fall, many people are still in the previous inertial thinking, thinking that it will rebound soon, and then it will get lower and lower, and they are more reluctant to sell it. This is why many people hold a high position on it
I'm not sure if it's the highest point of digital currency, but I think that digital currency, which can be issued by anyone, has no value as currency circulation and can only be sold to others. I think it's a fraud.
It can not be said to be a fraud, but there are certain risks, because digital gold currency is a form of physical currency, and its deposits are measured in gold rather than legal currency. Therefore, the purchasing power fluctuation of digital gold currency is related to the gold price. If the price of gold goes up, it becomes more valuable. If the price of gold goes down, it loses value
since there is no specific financial regulation to regulate digital gold money suppliers, they operate in a self-regulation way. Digital gold money suppliers are not banks, so banking regulations are not applicable
extended data
to explore the connotation of digital currency, we must clarify some concepts of model lake. For example, is it legal digital currency dominated by the central bank or illegal private fixed digital currency; Encryption of digital currency or electronic currency; Is it "selling dog meat with sheep's head"; "Bad money"
new technology does make the conceptual boundary of money more blurred. Theoretically speaking, the new monetary economics points out the possibility of the disappearance of money, that is, legal paper money is no longer the only medium of transaction, and is eventually replaced by financial assets issued by the private sector that generate monetary income
in reality, although the status of fiat money is still unshakable, there have been various local scenes of private money in history, such as the universal warra system in Germany in the 1920s. Now the digital currency with the characteristics of decentralization makes the challenge of private currency increasingly prominent< br />
