1. [virtual currency on the Internet]
1. bitcoin
since its release in 2009, bitcoin has become the most famous virtual currency. This virtual currency was developed by indivials or organizations under the pseudonym of "Nakamoto Tsung" (whose real identity has always been unknown), and is mainly used by online merchants. However, in recent years, some small physical merchants have begun to accept bitcoin payment. Through complex algorithms and a large number of computing resources, users can obtain bitcoin through "mining". Of course, they can also purchase bitcoin through exchanges or services like bitinstagnt and coinbase. The total amount of bitcoin that can be mined is about 21 million, while the current mining amount has exceeded 11 million. Bitcoin has attracted the attention of Western Union, MoneyGram and paypal. It is reported that these services are evaluating whether users are allowed to use bitcoin on their respective platforms
2. Litecoin
litecoin is based on bitcoin protocol, but supports faster transaction confirmation. The total number of litecains that can be mined in this system is 84 million, and the mining volume so far is about 20%. According to Charles Lee, the inventor of the virtual currency, the total value of litecoin currently in circulation is about $50 million. He said it was not clear that any physical merchants would accept payment from litecoin, but some host service providers had accepted the virtual currency
3. Freicoin
similar to litecoin, freicoin is also based on bitcoin protocol, but it is still in the early stage of development. According to mark friedenbach, one of the inventors of the virtual currency, the total number of freicoins that can be mined in the system is about 100 million, and the current mining volume is about 20%. The current number of concurrent users in freicoin network is about 100. At present, only a few small online merchants accept freicoin, and the inventor of the virtual currency is trying to promote it in a wider range
3. Ripple
ripple is not only a payment network, but also a virtual currency. The developer of ripple is opencoin, a Silicon Valley company. The company says its goal is to make ripple available to as many users as possible. Currently, the total number of ripples mined is about 100 billion, most of which are in the hands of opencoin. Chris Larsen, co-founder and CEO of opencoin, said opencoin is about to distribute 2000 ripples per user to about 40000 users, and plans to distribute about 50 billion ripples in the next few years. At present, consumers can register through ripple.com to get ripple wallet, and use the third-party service bitstamp to remit money from the bank account to use ripple wallet< 4. Amazon coins
Amazon is one of the few large technology companies that independently develop virtual currency. In most cases, the virtual currency of these companies can only be used on their respective websites. Amazon just launched the Amazon coins service in May, which can now be used to buy games, apps and other digital content on the kindle fire platform, as well as on app stores and websites. One dollar can buy 100 Amazon coins, while large purchases will get a discount. For example, 1000 Amazon coins are sold for $9.50
5. Well known virtual currency in China
there are many well-known virtual currencies in China, such as network currency of Internet company, Q currency of Tencent company, Q point and roll of Shanda company, u-coin meter ticket (used for igome game), chivalrous Yuanbao (used for chivalrous road game), grain silver (used for bixue Qingtian game), etc.

2. There will certainly be conflicts, and different virtual currency developers and operators will tear and force each other. However, whether virtual currency can continue to exist depends on the following points:
1. The strength and technology of the operation and development technical team can not keep up with each other. In addition to the problem that cannot be solved, it will eventually die
2. The level of public relations promotion operation team, because many Shanzhai coins are homogeneous, the difference is only the so-called propaganda culture
3. If the original intention of the development and operation team is just to make money, it will not take long
4. Is there a strong community member to promote its development voluntarily? There is a classic saying on the Internet: "losers win the world."
5. The overall strength of the development and operation team is strong, and the currency has survived for a longer time. Recently, Fuyuan coin, which is similar to business points, emerged in the jewelry instry, is an example. It is legally registered in California, the United States, a domestic corporatized Trading platform, and its information is open and transparent.

4. Internet plus: popular Internet Internet plus Internet plus traditional instries, but it is not simply a combination of the two. It is the use of information and communication technology and the Internet platform to enable the Internet to merge with traditional instries and create new development ecology.
Internet plus era is a new opportunity for the integration of Internet and traditional instries. It is an inevitable trend 5. The temperature was relatively low that winter
6. Unknown_Error
7. unable. The reason is that the Internet has just started, and in 18 years, there has been a lot of research on the Internet. Some laws have just been issued, so the future of the Internet should be more and more standardized. It's not that 19 years is the winter of the Internet.

As for the Internet winter, I think opportunities and challenges coexist for the Internet instry. In fact, the so-called Internet winter is more a process of removing the dregs and storing the essence of the instry. In the past 20 years of Internet development in China, too much capital has entered the instry, resulting in a number of large Internet companies as well as a lot of unknown small companies. But the survival space of the instry is so large that it is impossible for all companies to survive< therefore, the Internet winter is more like the metabolism and survival of the fittest of an instry
the causes of the Internet cold winter phenomenon therefore, e to the comprehensive influence of the above four factors, the Internet market in 2019 appears to be unpredictable, but even so, we can't judge that the winter of the Internet is coming, because it's too early. After all, the development space of instrial Internet is still very broad, and the potential has not been fully tapped, There is still a considerable market prospect . Once Internet companies find out the development context, then this road can still go on 9. Open the newspaper, open the web page, the network company "streamlined" news vividly: media King Murdoch News Corporation website news department layoffs 20%; Ebay.com, the founder of online auction website, laid off 32 people; Britannica.com laid off 17%. According to a survey by a new job introction company in the United States, from July to December, the number of Internet companies' layoffs increased by about 600%, from 5097 in the first half of the year to 36177. In December, Internet companies announced the highest number of layoffs ever, reaching 10459, up 19% from the record of 8789 in November, while the number of layoffs in November was 55% higher than that in October. News of layoffs from Taiwan, Hong Kong and the mainland has never stopped. According to the statistics of relevant organizations in Hong Kong, since June this year, 13 Internet companies in the region have made 19 layoffs, involving more than 1200 employees. The news that Sohu, a mainland website, has laid off 200 employees has attracted more attention from the instry. Netease also planned to lay off 20 employees by the end of the year, including the vice president
the cold winter of Internet enterprises is also reflected in the company's stock price. At the end of 2000, the Nai index began a new round of sharp decline, falling below 3000 points. Take Amazon as an example. It was once the "leader" of Internet retail instry. In January 1999, it was hailed as the most successful pure Internet company. The market value of the company once reached 22.1 billion US dollars, which became the goal of all Internet companies. But the company's current market value has fallen to $6.2 billion, and its share price has plummeted from $91.5 to $14.87 on December 21, 2000. Analysts estimate that Amazon's market value is likely to drop to $1 billion in 2001, when it is likely to become a target for traditional retail chains. Moreover, once Amazon is acquired by traditional enterprises, other Internet retail companies will be more difficult to escape this fate. If so, the fate of Netease and Sohu, the Chinese concept stocks listed in the United States, will be no better the decline of stock price has a direct impact on the company's financial situation and the confidence of venture investors, and the deterioration of financial situation and the withdrawal of venture investors have intensified the capital squeeze of Internet companies, which makes Internet companies have to rece the pressure of capital through layoffs in fact, the downsizing of Internet companies also means that the number of company failures will graally increase, and the integration phase will soon come. A survey shows that in recent months, the bankruptcy rate of Internet companies has stabilized at 15% - 20%, but this trend can only show that many companies are still struggling to survive the long winter and wait for a turnaround in the coming year from leading the way one year ago to the downturn today, the ups and downs of the Internet have affected the hearts of countless people in just one year. Just after new year's day in 2001, mankind has entered the 21st century. Looking forward to the new year, the Internet brings people endless melancholy and pessimism. Most analysts are pessimistic about the prospect of the Internet in 2001. Wolff, a well-known US columnist and commentator who has personally run Internet enterprises, and some other experts even predicted that the Internet instry will face more severe challenges in 2001. Among them, the enterprises and companies that make money purely through web pages, especially the Internet retail instry, will die out by the end of this year. Wolff said that one of the major fallacies of the Internet instry in the past was that it advocated that the Internet instry was different from other instries and was blindly innovative. Some companies use this to persuade investors to keep injecting capital into them. In a word, these Internet companies are maintained purely by advocating the concept of "new economy". Wang Zhidong, CEO of sina.com, also said that we all know that the Internet is valuable, but we are still confused about how to develop this value. The stock market has been "bungee jumping" since April this year, and has not found a balance point. For the instry, the "Long March" is about to begin, and the elimination process is about to begin it should be said that the Internet instry is undergoing a painful and cruel transition from online enclosure to website layoffs and stock price shocks, and network practitioners are also looking forward to a bright and smooth road after going through tortuous roads. Many analysts believe that the rise and fall of Internet craze is inevitable, but it is important to learn from previous mistakes and find a way to survive. After such a frenzy and shock, people who are no longer greedy and fanatical will need to spend more energy to keep calm, put an end to capital spending and re cultivate the market, which will make people pay more unimaginable price. The Internet is already in the cold winter, and it seems far away from the spring of the new century. Hot content
