Changes in the number of Ethereum Holdings

1. Some institutions have predicted that Ethereum will rise to $2500 by the end of the year, but it seems unlikely in the current market. Domain Kingdom's latest Ethereum price is $166, down 16% from yesterday
although the price of Ethereum continues to decline, there are still many investment opportunities. Nowadays, many people invest in Ethereum through virtual currency trading in the realm Kingdom, which is not affected by the rise and fall of prices, but also can invest less money in the shortest time to obtain more income.

2.

There is an essential difference between Ethereum and bitcoin. What is the difference? Bitcoin defines a set of currency system, while Ethereum focuses on building a main chain (which can be understood as a road) to allow a large number of blockchain applications to run on this road

from this point of view, Ethereum's application scenarios are more extensive, which is why we say that Ethereum marks a simple monetary system in the era of blockchain

1.0, and a transformation to other instries and application scenarios in the era of blockchain 2.0

however, there is no perfect thing in the world. Although Ethereum has expanded the application scope of blockchain in all walks of life and improved the speed of transaction processing, it also has some disputes and doubts

first, the solution to the lack of scalability of Ethereum: slicing technology and lightning network

the bottom design of Ethereum, the biggest problem is that Ethereum has only one chain and no side chain, which means that all programs have to run on this chain equally, consuming resources and causing system congestion. Just like last year's very popular Ethereum game "encryption cat", when this game was very popular, it once caused Ethereum network paralysis

to improve the processing capacity, Ethereum proposes two ways: shard and lightning network. Let's introce these two technologies respectively

(1) fragmentation technology

vitalik buterin, founder of Ethereum, believes that the reason why mainstream blockchain networks such as bitcoin process transactions very slowly is that every miner has to process every transaction in the whole network, which is actually very inefficient. The idea of fragmentation technology is: a transaction does not need to be processed by all nodes in the whole network, as long as some nodes (miners) in the network are allowed to process it. Therefore, Ethereum network is divided into many pieces. At the same time, each piece can handle different transactions. In this way, the network performance will be greatly improved

however, the slicing technology is also controversial. As we all know, the important idea of blockchain technology is decentralization. Only when the whole network witnesses (processes) the same transaction can it have the highest authority. The Ethereum slicing technology is similar to the group witness, not all nodes witness together. In this way, it will lose the absolute "decentralization" attribute, and can only achieve the purpose of high performance by sacrificing certain characteristics of decentralization

(2) lightning network

lightning network uses the way of transaction under the chain. What does that mean? It means: when the participants of lightning network transfer money to each other, they do not need to confirm the transaction through the main chain of Ethereum, but create a payment channel between the participants and complete it under the chain

however, lightning network is not separated from the main chain. Before establishing a payment channel, you need to use the assets on the main chain as collateral to generate a balance proof, which indicates that you can transfer the corresponding balance. In the case that both parties of the transaction hold the balance certificate, both parties can make unlimited number of transfers under the chain through the payment channel

only when the off chain transaction is completed and the assets need to be transferred back to the chain, the balance change information of the main chain account will be registered on the Ethereum main chain, and no matter how many transactions occur ring this period, there will be no record on the main chain

another real benefit of lightning network is that it can save the cost of miners for you. At present, when we trade on the main chain of Ethereum, we need to consume gas and pay for miners. Once we move the transaction to the lower chain, we can save this part of the cost

Of course, lightning network is not perfect. When using the lightning network, the assets on the main chain should be used as collateral; And this part of assets as collateral can not be used before the user completes the transaction under the chain. This also determines that lightning trading is only suitable for small transactions

the above is the problem of insufficient scalability of Ethereum, as well as the two main solutions: fragmentation technology and lightning network

Second, there are loopholes in Ethereum's smart contract and the infamous Dao event

Ethereum's smart contract is very powerful, but there are loopholes in any code. The biggest controversy of Ethereum's smart contract lies in the so-called loopholes, that is, security issues. According to relevant research, 34200 (about 3%) of the nearly 1 million smart contracts based on Ethereum contain security vulnerabilities, which will allow hackers to steal eth, freeze assets or delete contracts, such as the infamous Dao incident

(1) what does Dao mean

before introcing the Dao event, let's first introce what Dao is. Dao is the abbreviation of decentralized

autonomous organization, which can be understood as decentralized autonomous organization. From the perspective of Ethereum, Dao is a kind of contract or a combination of contracts on the blockchain, which is used to replace the government's review and complex intermediate proceres, so as to achieve an efficient and decentralized trust system. Therefore, Dao is not a specific organization, that is to say, there can be many Dao, all kinds of Dao

(2) the infamous Dao event

however, when we talk about Dao now, we basically refer to the Dao event, that is, the infamous hacker attack event we just mentioned. As we know, the English word "the" refers to "the Dao event". The Dao event

refers to "the Dao event", because we just said that Dao is not a specific organization, there can be many Dao, all kinds of Dao

in 2016, slock.it, a German company focusing on "smart locks", launched the Dao project on Ethereum in order to realize decentralized physical exchange (such as apartments and ships). Since April 30, 2016, the financing window has been open for 28 days

unexpectedly, this Dao project is very popular. It raised more than US $100 million in just half a month. By the end of the whole financing period, it raised a total of US $150 million. Therefore, it has become the largest crowdfunding project in history. However, it didn't last long. In June, hackers took advantage of the loopholes in the smart contract to successfully transfer more than 3.6 million Ethernet coins and put them into a Dao sub organization, which has the same structure as the Dao. At that time, the price of Ethernet currency fell directly from more than $20 to less than $13

this event shows that there are loopholes in smart contracts, and once the loopholes are exploited by hackers, the consequences will be very serious. This is why many people criticize Ethereum and say that its smart contract is not smart

to solve this problem, many foreign companies begin to provide code audit services in order to solve the vulnerability problem of smart contract. From a technical point of view, some teams are currently testing smart contracts. Most of these teams are led by professors from Harvard, Stanford and Yale, and some of them have obtained investment from leading institutions

in addition to the problems of insufficient expansibility and loopholes in smart contracts, the controversy over Ethereum lies in the POS consensus mechanism it pursues, that is, the proof of equity mechanism. Under the proof of equity mechanism, if anyone holds more money and holds it for a longer time, he will get more "rights" (interests) and have the opportunity to get bookkeeping power, Bookkeeping can also be rewarded. In this way, it is easy to create the oligarchic advantage of "the stronger the stronger"

Another problem is the chaos of ICO. ICO is a common way to raise funds for blockchain projects, which we can understand as pre-sale. The outbreak of ICO projects on Ethereum has caused illegal activities such as fund allocation and money fraud under the banner of ICO, which has caused security risks to social and financial stability

3. Ethereum blockchain has exposed three major problems, and its founder vitalik buterin has been unable to interpret them for a long time. The first is the low performance and TPS of Ethereum blockchain as a whole; The second is that resources are not isolated. The event of cryptokitties virtual cat once occupied 20% of the traffic of the whole Ethereum, which directly caused Ethereum network users unable to carry out timely transactions, which is the biggest pain point of resources not isolated; The third problem lies in the embodiment of Ethereum's governance structure. As a decentralized distributed ledger, the founder team of Ethereum has dominated its network development in the past. The over centralized governance mode has led to the bifurcation of eth, etc and ETF in Ethereum, and the Ethereum community is now in a state of fragmented governance. In the view of Ma Haobo, founder and CEO of "aelf", all kinds of disadvantages of Ethereum are unacceptable. Therefore, the positioning of "aelf" is born for the next generation of decentralized underlying computing platform of Ethereum, which focuses on solving the problems of insufficient performance, non isolation of resources and governance structure of Ethereum.

4.

Ethereum is the next generation of cryptography ledger. It intends to support many advanced functions, including user issuing currency, intelligent protocol, decentralized transaction and what we think is the first fully decentralized autonomous organization (Daos) or decentralized autonomous company (DACS) application

Ethereum does not specifically support every single type of function as a feature. On the contrary, Ethereum includes a built-in Turing complete scripting language, which allows you to write code for the feature you want to implement through a mechanism called "contract". A contract is like an automatic agent. Every time a transaction is received, the contract will run a specific code, which can modify the data storage inside the contract or send the transaction. Advanced contracts can even modify their own code

Ethereum was launched on November 1, 2015, and launched on August 22, 2016 on bitcoin trading platform, a well-known domestic trading platform; 30-¥ About 60, current: ￥ 1259.97, the rise is amazing

5.

Ethereum is likely to rise to 10000 in 2021

institutional investors and big capital are increasingly interested in cryptocurrency. The attention of all whales, and the attention of all the public, is focused on bitcoin. Since the global health and safety incident triggered the market crash in March 2020, the growth of eth has reached 1200%

while BTC only increased by 700%. Of course, in the context of bitcoin's record high price of 40000, Ethereum's rise to $1400 does not seem so impressive. In addition, the market value of eth is five times the trading volume of BTC market

extended information:

the increase of Ethereum is as follows:

the transaction volume recorded on Ethereum blockchain exceeds US $1 trillion. These figures exceed the transaction volume of payment giants such as PayPal, which is used by more than 350 million users and whose average transaction volume is generally less than $200 billion per quarter

each transaction will generate network fees paid by eth. Moreover, as the growth rate of the network is still very high, we can confidently expect the "bull market" trend of eth to continue. In any case, interest in cryptocurrency is growing, as are the number of active wallets, the number of transactions on the Internet, and the average size of transactions

6. You can check the market of Ethereum on non trumpet, but you can't trade it. The trend of Ethereum in the past two years can be described as from heaven to hell, with a very large decline. If you want to invest, you can go to the digital currency exchange. At present, the mainstream digital currency trading in the market includes coin security, fire coin network, bitnet, etc.

7.

The price of Eth and other virtual currencies is determined by the following aspects: 1. Frequency of use; 2. Actual use; 3. Number of participants

as for how much room to go up, the current price of Ethereum is about 6600. Recently, e to the frequent use of Ethereum private placement, Ethereum has risen to more than 10000. Ethereum is a smart contract, and there are countless tokens developed based on Ethereum. Therefore, as the underlying public chain of smart contract, its prospect changes with the popularity of blockchain, However, some time ago, the disadvantages of Ethereum were exposed. The main chain was congested and the handling fees were extremely expensive. The development of Ethereum was close to the bottleneck. Therefore, the room for its growth was whether the developers could improve the main chain environment according to the disadvantages. As for the number of participants, it was not a big problem now. Pay more attention to the current development progress of the developers and focus on doing things, There is a bright future ahead

at present, the websites that can trade Ethereum include: btctrade international station, Huo coin, coin an, etc.

8.

I think the first reason why Ethereum has been setting new records is that it has a lot of capital

the second reason is that many ordinary people have paid attention to virtual currency . These ordinary people have strong purchasing power, and they may have been speculators in stocks or funds before. When they find that the virtual currency is rising well, they will bring a lot of money into the market. The admission of these ordinary people will increase more capital admission, because in the view of capital, these ordinary people are a crop of leeks

the third reason is e to the soaring price of bitcoin, bitcoin is now rising very rapidly, from $20000 a bitcoin in 2020 to $60000 a bitcoin now. It's terrible. For a lot of capital, they can't speculate on bitcoin. Because bitcoin's plate is too big, they have to go back and speculate on Ethereum

first, a large amount of capital has entered the market

at present, the global economy is not very good, there are not many things that can be invested, and the global currencies are devaluing and inflating for a lot of capital, their money will depreciate one day if they hold it in their hands. They need to invest their money. At this time, they find that the virtual currency can keep the value and will not inflate. At this time, there will be a lot of capital, with a lot of money to buy Ethereum. When a lot of people go to buy Ethereum, it is normal for Ethereum prices to rise

9. The biggest disadvantage of Ethereum is that its quantity has been increasing. How can an item without an upper limit be used as an investment proct? As we all know, the rise in the price of a commodity is in the final analysis the quantity comparison between the supply and demand sides. The supply exceeds the demand, the price falls, the supply is less than the demand, and the price rises. The amount of bitcoin and lettercoin is fixed. The total amount of bitcoin is 21 million, and now there are more than 10 million. The rest will take another 100 years. Now the amount of Ethereum is more than 90 million, and 18 million will be generated every year. Ethereum has 250 blocks per hour, 5 coins for each block (and some transaction fees and other rewards), 24 hours a day, that is, 30000 + coins will be added every day. So there's no limit to the amount of ether

how many years can the ether coin be g
how many Ethernet coins can be proced each year? At present, five new ether coins are generated for each new block. If you dig out a block every 14 seconds, it will take 31.5 million seconds (365 x 24 x 60 x 60) a year, which means that 2.25 million blocks are g out every year
every miner has considered how long the ether coin can be g, whether I can't dig the ether coin after I buy the miner, or I can't dig the ether coin after I invest in the miner. I can tell you clearly that the ether coin can't be g up, and the official shows the quantity when it comes to the ether coin, but don't go, Ethernet currency is constantly bifurcating. Once the quantity is threatened, it will continue to bifurcate. The miners can continue to dig for new currencies from the bifurcations. For example, etc and ETF are examples. After the bifurcations, the ETH price will go up crazily. Therefore, miners need not worry about the quantity of Ethernet currency.
