Why is the market value of virtual currency low
bitcoin price has been cut by the waist
how to implement blockchain application is still the main problem. In addition to bitcoin, the large-scale application of blockchain in other scenarios has not yet reached the commercial stage. Looking back to the second half of 2017, the price of bitcoin almost reached a new high every day, and finally reached the peak in the South Korean exchange with the highest premium in the world - about 140000 yuan per piece. On June 3, 2018, as of press time, coinbase bitcoin trading platform quoted 49688 yuan, and the price of bitcoin has been cut. Since the beginning of this year, the price of bitcoin has rarely seen eye popping ups and downs, and the overall trend of monthly decline
bitcoin development status
according to the data of the in-depth analysis report on business model innovation and investment opportunities of the blockchain instry released by the foresight Instry Research Institute, bitcoin prices showed a downward trend in May, with the overall market value falling from US $157.3 billion at the beginning of the month to US $127.4 billion at the end of the month, a decrease of 19%; In addition, there are 444000 active addresses and 197000 transfers per day. From the trend point of view, the number of active addresses and daily transfers are positively correlated with the transaction price. In May, the overall trend is volatile, and the downward trend is very obvious
reasons for the steady decline of bitcoin in the past half year
how to understand the "steady decline" of bitcoin in the past half year? There are two main reasons: firstly, the most important reason is that institutional investors and speculators who have accumulated a large number of "profit" are cashing in their profits and leaving the market; Secondly, before the blockchain instry has no real application and profit model, the rise of bitcoin price can only be regarded as speculative speculation. In addition, it is an undeniable fact that the Central Bank of China has made a decisive move to close the bitcoin trading platform, which has achieved remarkable results in preventing bitcoin speculation
at present, the domestic bitcoin exchanges have basically moved to foreign countries, which has nothing to do with China. Investors operate on those platforms at their own risk
the current market is not very good. Only when the market is good, can investors find ways to participate in bitcoin investment. As the total market value of the coin circle is still small, with more blockchain applications, there is still potential in the future
over consumed blockchain
e to the "tepid" price of bitcoin, blockchain, as its underlying technology, has reached the level of "known to all women and children", and even surpassed bitcoin in recent years
recently, a series of related reports are suspected of making up for the number and full of hype, and blockchain has obviously been over consumed. In addition to bitcoin, the large-scale application of blockchain in other scenarios has not yet reached the commercial stage
with the graal deepening of the understanding of blockchain technology, domestic enterprises have laid out blockchain technology, platforms and applications, including Internet enterprises such as network, Tencent, Ali, Jingdong, Netease, major banks, financial enterprises such as Ping An of China and Huawei. In terms of application, China actively explores and promotes blockchain + applications in the form of alliance chain and private chain to help solve the pain points of related instries, improve efficiency and rece costs.
How many cryptocurrencies are there in the world
at present, there are more than 1350 encrypted virtual currencies in circulation in the world. So far, according to the total valuation given by the market price, there are 23 virtual currencies with a valuation of more than US $1 billion, 97 with a value of more than US $100 million, and 573 with a market value of more than US $1 million. All in all, the total market value of virtual currency has exceeded US $5 trillion, of which bitcoin, the earliest invention, accounts for more than half. Players generally admit that bitcoin is not the most effective cryptocurrency, nor is it the most covert and anonymous. However, bitcoin is the first one to appear, so it is the most well-known and popular one
so the question is, does the world need more than 1350 cryptocurrencies
even the players of virtual currency will doubt this. No matter how strange the world is, there cannot be so many virtual currencies. In fact, there are so many new ICO virtual currencies emerging in recent years, which complement the "Crazy" performance of bitcoin in this year. Most of these 1300 kinds of virtual currencies can't be recognized by everyone. From the beginning of ICO, there will be many loopholes that no one will fill. When there is a major adjustment in the virtual currency market, many of them will disappear automatically, which means that no one will go to mine any more
this also leads to a problem. When some of the cryptocurrencies have problems, the entire instry chain and market of virtual currency may be involved like dominoes. Even the strongest bitcoin now will also be involved, because the cryptocurrency, in the final analysis, is supported by the "belief" of players
why is bitcoin worth more than other cryptocurrencies
at the time of writing this article, the total value of bitcoin is about US $270 billion, the total value of cash of bitcoin is about US $31.7 billion, and the market value of bitcoin gold is US $5.17 billion. Since bitcoin cash and bitcoin gold are separated from bitcoin, in a broad sense, they should be counted as a part of the total value of bitcoin (of course, you can't refute me technically, just for a rough explanation). Once we add up all the branches of bitcoin, we can calculate the market value of more than $310 billion. As a result, bitcoin accounts for about 60% of all cryptocurrencies in the market
as I have repeatedly said in recent days, bitcoin is not the most effective cryptocurrency, the most advanced, the most anonymous, or even the most stable cryptocurrency. So why is bitcoin so valuable compared with other virtual currencies
it's very simple, because bitcoin has a catalytic factor, that is, the Chicago Board of trade, as well as the commodity exchange, began to trade futures as a "commodity". Then, you will naturally think that since it has been recognized by the futures exchange, will it be further recognized by the US government in the next step. Other virtual currencies are still struggling
however, we have always stressed that since the day bitcoin was traded as a "commodity", its real monetary role, like gold, has been very weak in reality, but as one of the procts of gambling. This means that we all do bitcoin as a speculative activity, rather than a real use
judging from the current situation, bitcoin is no longer the only virtual currency that soars as soon as there is news of "official support". It is like iota, a virtual currency that focuses on the principle of the Internet of things. The news of cooperation with Microsoft came in the last two weeks, and it immediately rose to more than $300. Later, Microsoft came out and said that there was no such thing, and iota immediately fell back. It can be seen that in the future, as long as the virtual currency is recognized by some big company or organization, it will soar like bitcoin
it can clearly tell you that the attitude of domestic regulators is clear. Whether it is genuine bitcoin, or a variety of derivative Shanzhai virtual currency, there is no way to obtain legal living space at present. This is something we need to be clear about. If the platform goes out of business or the staff runs away, it is very likely that they will lose all their money and the losses they have suffered will not be protected by law
the promises they give you often make the participants pay money quickly. Behind them is the Ponzi scheme of "robbing the east to pay the west" + "cheating the white wolf with empty hands". They use the money of new investors to pay interest and short-term return to old investors, so as to create the illusion of making money and cheat more investment. When no new investors enter, the return of old investors collapses one after another, and it is often difficult to withdraw cash, or the website cannot be opened
in short, although the external form of virtual currency is ever-changing, it is not divorced from its essence of pyramid selling. The more investors put in, the greater the final loss, and the more serious the loss may be
all the above are personal opinions. I hope they can help you. Thank you
in addition to bitcoin, there are Ethereum, Ruitai, Laite, doggy, Ruibo and so on.
For example, bitcoin, one of the most famous virtual currencies, is worth more than US $10 billion in the whole pool and US $7.8 billion in real circulation, which is equivalent to a listed company with a market value of less than 40 billion yuan. Investors all over the world can speculate, which easily leads to sharp fluctuations in short-term prices, It's easy to be fired,
one of the major characteristics of virtual currency is that the investment plate is small, the volatility is huge, and it's easy for the makers to control. It's not suitable for investors with low risk preference to participate in
but now the attitude of domestic regulators is clear. No matter it is genuine bitcoin or various derivative Shanzhai coins, there is no way to obtain legal living space at present. If something happens, you will be responsible for the consequences.
the above are personal opinions. I hope I can help you. Thank you for your adoption
network virtual currency can be roughly divided into
the first category is familiar game currency. In the era of stand-alone games, the protagonist accumulates money by knocking down the enemy, entering the gambling house to win money, and using these to buy Herbs and equipment, but it can only be used in his own game console. At that time, there was no "market" between players. Since the establishment of Internet portal and community, the realization of game networking, virtual currency has a "financial market", players can trade game currency
the second type is the special currency issued by the portal website or instant messaging service provider, which is used to purchase the services in the website. The most widely used is Tencent's q-coin, which can be used to purchase membership, QQ show and other value-added services
the third kind of virtual currency on the Internet, such as bitcoin (BTC), lightcoin (LTC), Fuyuan coin (FTC), etc. bitcoin is an electronic currency proced by open-source P2P software. Some people also translate bitcoin as "bitcoin", which is a kind of network virtual currency. It is mainly used for Internet financial investment, and can also be directly used in daily life as a new currency.
the merchant went into the mountain to buy a monkey for 100 yuan. The villagers made money by selling some of them. When the merchant raised the price to 200 yuan, the whole village went to catch the monkey, and the merchant collected it all. The monkey is hard to catch. The merchant raised the price to 500, and there is no monkey. After that, the assistant of the businessman sneaks back to the village and sells a monkey for 300 yuan, and the villagers rush to buy it. Then they wait for the businessman to come, and the businessman never comes again...
similarly, in the period of rapid rise in the price of bitcoin, the one who holds more bitcoin will be richer, so people rush to hold bitcoin, making the price of bitcoin rise faster, It forms a positive feedback regulation. Now that the price of bitcoin has fluctuated near the peak, the economic impact of increasing or recing your holdings is unknown. In the future, when prices fall sharply, those who hold more bitcoin will lose more, and those who hold less bitcoin will make more profits
in addition, how bitcoin came into being can be seen in this way. A programmer wrote a high-order equation with a computer. There are 21 million solutions. The solution itself has no value. Suddenly, someone said that he was willing to pay 100 yuan for a solution, so everyone began to work hard to solve it. At this time, the price of a solution is 100 yuan. The solution began to flow from one hand to another. Slowly, under the market regulation and artificial reasons, the price of solution becomes 102 yuan, 247 yuan, 97 yuan, 411 yuan...... wait. Bitcoin plays well. If you can have a drink with financial groups, if you don't play well, you are just a piece of meat in someone's mouth. Ordinary people still don't recommend buying bitcoin
At present, the total market value of global cryptocurrency has exceeded 850 billion US dollars, and the total market value of bitcoin has exceeded 600 billion US dollars, accounting for 70.9% of the total market value. What is value? I just divide value into three parts: scarcity, necessity and circulation. Rarity is the most precious. When the demand is greater than the supply, the market price will rise. And vice versa< for example, just like women will pursue limited quantity bags and boys will buy Rolex water devils, the market price is higher than the starting price, so it's not surprising that prices rise to grab goods in the world of cryptocurrency, scarcity corresponds to whether the number of issues is constant. For example, there is an upper limit on the number of BTCs, but eth does not. This is also an important reason why BTC has become cryptocurrency gold
in order to successfully raise funds, the project team must also carry out a series of activities around these three points. In order to increase liquidity, it is necessary to discuss listing matters with the exchange, and sometimes a lot of listing fees need to be paid. The total amount of money in circulation should not be too large, there should be a certain scarcity. Whether the project itself is good enough and the importance of the problem determine the necessity of token. Scarcity, necessity and circulation are the basic indicators to evaluate the value of token< before ICO, these three indicators were more important because there was not enough information for reference or the project was not implemented at all
