Data statistics of virtual currency issuers
The total number of bitcoins is 21 million
in 2009, when bitcoin was born, block reward was 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25
when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million

monetary characteristics
1. Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
2. Global circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
3. Exclusive ownership: private key is needed to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
4. Low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution
5, no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
6. Cross platform mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
in the era of material abundance, money can buy what you want and enrich your life. Therefore, people have a dream of realizing wealth freedom and entering a better life there are many such dreams, which are often used. With the development of the Internet, online transactions have become more convenient and fast, people's financial management ideas have improved, and they will take spare money to invest, but the bank interest is low, the fund will not choose, and the stock water is too deep. Generally speaking, the income can't tempt greedy people
1. It is illegal to have a financial trading platform that is not recognized by China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission. With the concept of blockchain being put forward, virtual currency has become popular. In China, there are bitcoin, Leyte coin, Ruitai coin, etc. the income of these virtual currencies has been blown to be amazing. People who listen to these virtual currencies will be envious and have new illusions. They don't know that this is just a Ponzi scheme, and the virtual currency trading platform will trick investors into inviting them, After the investors' funds are cheated, there will be a series of figures. Some of them will fall sharply as soon as they buy, and smart people can stop losses. Some of them will go up sharply when they buy, and investors will continue to add chips, and finally they can't cash out
there may not be such MLM currencies as Vicat and Baichuan.
China's regulatory authorities have stopped the issuance and trading of virtual currency, and China's policy does not allow the issuance of any virtual currency
the investigation conclusion of public security organs is the most authoritative
however, judging from the current public information, it is difficult to identify or have no authoritative conclusion.
bitcoin is the first currency to realize the concept of "secret currency". In 1998, Wei Dai first expounded the concept of "secret currency" in cypherpanks mailing list, that is, a new form of currency that uses cryptography principles to control the issuance and transaction of currency, rather than relying on the central management organization. In 2009, Satoshi Nakamoto published the first bitcoin specification and its proof of concept in the cryptography mailing list. At the end of 2010, Nakamoto left the project and did not disclose much about his identity. Since then, many developers have devoted themselves to bitcoin projects, and the bitcoin community has grown rapidly
Nakamoto's anonymous identity often leads to groundless worries, many of which are related to the misunderstanding of bitcoin's open source features. Bitcoin's protocol and software are published publicly. Any developer around the world can view its code or develop their own modified version of bitcoin software. Just like current developers, Nakamoto's influence is limited to the changes he makes that are adopted by others. Therefore, Nakamoto does not control bitcoin. So, today, the question of the identity of the inventor of bitcoin may be the same as that of the inventor of paper
mining is a process of consuming computing resources to process transactions, ensuring network security and keeping everyone's information synchronized in the network. It can be understood as the data center of bitcoin. The difference lies in its completely decentralized design. Miners operate all over the world, and no one can control the network. This process is called "mining" because it is similar to gold panning, because it is also a temporary mechanism for issuing new bitcoin. However, unlike gold panning, bitcoin mining provides rewards for services that ensure the safe operation of payment networks. After the last bitcoin, mining is still necessary
bitcoin home also has more introctions. I suggest you take a look.
