Sea digital currency purchase tutorial
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
at present, most of the larger digital currency exchanges, such as binance, coinbase, Kraken and bitfinex, are abroad, and even some exchanges have stopped registering new users, which makes it inconvenient for domestic users to buy. If you want to invest in digital currency, there are also some digital currency P2P trading platforms which are located overseas but provide Chinese services. However, we should pay attention to the risks and whether the platform is safe and reliable
in fact, there is only a line between investment and speculation in digital currency. Although judging from the price changes in the past few years, such projects have the characteristics of high return, compared with the existing investment channels, such projects also have very high risks. It can be expected that some countries will issue digital currency with public power endorsement in the future, but we can't make a clear judgment about the future trend of the existing digital currency. But whatever you do, you need to be aware of the risks.

how to use leverage
1. Long (buy up)
here, take BTC / usdt leverage trading as an example (usdt vs. US dollar, 1 usdt = US dollar) to introce how to use bitcoin leverage. Assuming that the current price of bitcoin is US $10000, and you predict that the price will rise in the near future, you can choose to be long.
if you have only 10000 usdt principal and the platform is triple leverage, you can borrow another 20000 usdt from the trading platform, so the principal is now 30000 usdt; If it is 5 times leverage, it can borrow 40000 usdt, 10 times leverage is 90000 usdt... And so on
buy three bitcoins with 30000 usdt, sell them when they reach 20000 usdt, and get 60000 US dollars of bitcoin, dect 10000 principal and 20000 loan, and make a profit of 30000 US dollars
if you don't use leverage trading, you can only make a profit of 10000 usdt if you buy a bitcoin at 10000 usdt
of course, if the judgment is wrong, bitcoin will only lose 5000 usdt in currency trading and 15000 usdt in leverage trading
2. Short (buy down)
take BTC / usdt triple leverage trading as an example. At present, the price of bitcoin is 20000 usdt. If you think that the price of bitcoin will drop to 10000 usdt, and you have 10000 usdt in your hand, you can borrow one bitcoin from the platform (short can only borrow the currency you choose to short), and sell it when the price of bitcoin is 20000 usdt, Then, when the bitcoin price is 10000 usdt, buy it back to the platform, and you can make a profit of 10000 usdt
in fact, bitcoin leveraged trading plays a role in amplifying revenue, but it also magnifies risk
there are many digital currency trading platforms, and the main procts promoted by each platform are also different. Some are mainly spot trading, and some are futures trading. Among them, futures trading is contract trading, that is, leverage. The better platforms are coin stations, which can be seen by contract friends.
digital currency can be considered as a virtual currency based on node network and digital encryption algorithm. The core characteristics of digital currency are mainly reflected in three aspects: first, e to some open algorithms, digital currency has no issuing subject, so no one or institution can control its issuing; ② Because the number of algorithm solutions is fixed, the total amount of digital currency is fixed, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of inflation caused by the overuse of virtual currency; ③ Because the transaction process needs the approval of each node in the network, the transaction process of digital currency is safe enough [[br / > the emergence of bitcoin poses a huge challenge to the existing monetary system. Although it belongs to the generalized virtual currency, it is essentially different from the virtual currency issued by network enterprises, so it is called digital currency. This paper compares digital currency with electronic currency and virtual currency from the aspects of issuing subject, scope of application, issuing quantity, storage form, circulation mode, credit guarantee, transaction cost and transaction security
