Proportion of total market value of virtual currency
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
extended data
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
If you use three words to describe the latest bitcoin, it can only be three words & quot; It's going crazy;. On February 19, the price of bitcoin reached a high of US $56000, with a total market value of US $1 trillion{ RRRRR}
coupled with the global popularity and high liquidity of bitcoin, long-term holders believe that bitcoin is an ideal medium for long-term wealth storage and will appreciate over time
how does bitcoin work? In the bitcoin system, the way money drives is not the digital transfer of cash that most people imagine. When Alice remits money to Bob, Alice's process is like recording on the account book that everyone sees that she transferred $1 to Bob. If Carol wants to charge Bob a dollar, she can see from the same ledger that Bob does have a dollar
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
the development of this kind of digital currency depends on the quantity. There are more than 30 million digital currencies. Dogcoin is a typical example. Although dogcoin is the digital currency with the second largest number of users in the world after bitcoin, its recent development momentum is not optimistic. The total number of thousand gold cards is only 3 million, but the development momentum is good.
in addition to bitcoin, there are Ethereum, Ruitai, Laite, doggy, Ruibo and so on.
As of 14:24 Beijing time on the 27th, data from coindesk showed that bitcoin was quoted at US $27372 per coin, up more than 10% in 24 hours. The total market value of bitcoin is 508.6 billion US dollars (about 3.3 trillion yuan) , and it can buy about 22 Yunnan Baiyao (the latest total market value of a shares is 146.3 billion)
it is understood that since the birth of bitcoin in 2009, its first price was about US $0.0025 when it was purchased in 2010. Based on the price of US $27000, the price increase of bitcoin since its birth has reached 10.8 million times
that is to say, the original investment of RMB 1 can buy 61.3 bitcoins, and the current position value is RMB 10.8 million. Even if bitcoin has made such an amazing increase, Citibank recently announced a target price of $300000, which is 11 times higher than the current price
expansion data:
24 hours, the whole network burst warehouse 4 billion 600 million
controversy surrounding bitcoin has never stopped, some people think it is hype, sooner or later, it will be "tulips bubble", some people think that the bitcoin's scarcity has pushed up its rise. So some are short and some are long
on a day of crazy rise, short bets of bitcoin were completely exploded. According to the real-time statistics of bitcoin home.com, in the last 48 hours, the fund of all kinds of cryptocurrencies in the whole network has burst to US $700 million (RMB 4.6 billion), of which the fund of bitcoin has burst to US $587 million, and the number of people in the whole network has exceeded 60000 in the last 48 hours
According to the historical data, the short position burst on the 27th was up 136% compared with the previous trading dayThe total market value of bitcoin has exceeded US $1 trillion. What is the reason that makes it so powerful? Let's take a look at bitcoin. Bitcoin is a virtual encrypted digital currency in the form of P2P. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system< unlike all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on a specific monetary institution to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm
from the performance of bitcoin at this stage, bitcoin has low liquidity level and high liquidity risk, so it can not effectively perform the three basic functions of currency: transaction medium, pricing unit and value storage, and can not become a real currency< because it is not a currency in circulation, it has no legal status, so it is not recommended to invest in bitcoin because the risk is too high so far, countries have not recognized the value of bitcoin itself, so the risk of bitcoin is relatively high. But there are also many people who can't resist the temptation of money, so they choose to start bitcoin. But in the end, they have suffered a lot, and some people have paid for their lives
no one can really master bitcoin. If you are interested, you can learn more about it. Many people speculate that bitcoin will continue to rise. If you have spare money, you can invest some first, but you must keep a rational attitude
bitcoin is a consensus network, contributing to a new payment system and a fully digital currency. It is the first decentralized peer-to-peer payment network, which is controlled by its users without a central management organization or middleman. From the user's point of view, bitcoin is much like Internet cash. Bitcoin can also be regarded as the most outstanding three style bookkeeping system.
