Producing bitcoin from excess power
Recently, the news about "China quietly ordered the closure of bitcoin mines" spread like wildfire. Some media learned through insiders that the central bank held a closed door meeting to rectify some mines with non-standard electricity consumption
in fact, the rectification and treatment of Mines started last year, especially after the closing of domestic exchanges last year, the relevant regulatory authorities also discussed the issue of mine retention, but the conclusion is that the reasons for closing mines are not sufficient, and the mines have not caused more social problems, and the risk points are not clear, so no specific arrangements have been made. However, all localities have received "window guidance", that is, local enterprises can not participate in digital currency mining
in 2016, China's power generation ranked first in the world, and the total power generation accounted for 25% of the world. In this case, according to common sense, mining power in China is indeed the most abundant, especially with the decline of China's economic growth, the wasted power resources are increasing
the electricity of power stations can not be stored, but if the electricity is converted into digital currency, it can be stored. In fact, if China's surplus power generation can be converted into bitcoin for storage, it should be the most efficient mode of proction and operation. It is equivalent to procing US dollars with electricity. It is a processing export mode with the highest added value
in addition, according to the historical development, most of the power in the future may be consumed by computers. This is a judgment I made, which can be witnessed by our generation. In our daily life, the proportion of electricity consumption will be lower and lower. In the future, mankind will solve all kinds of problems by means of digitization and blockchain, and "mines" will only increase, not decrease. Especially with the development of artificial intelligence, space exploration and other fields, the demand for computing power will increase exponentially
electricity is just a kind of energy, just like a person, the biggest energy consumption is not the limbs, but the brain. The human brain is a 24-hour machine. A thinking person's brain consumes 75% of the liver's stored blood sugar every day, and the oxygen consumption accounts for 20% of the whole body's oxygen consumption. The more the brain thinks, the more glucose the neurons need
When the electric lamp was invented 200 years ago, people thought that the best use of electricity was to light the bulb. Has the final say that what electricity market will be most effective in future? p> No one can see electricity. Up to now, it is difficult for many people to understand the mystery of its existence, but electricity has changed the world. The influence of many virtual things is often greater than that of physical things. What does "digital assets" mean to China and the world? I think it is difficult for many people, including the government, to make clear at this time. What we need to reflect on is that apart from the four great inventions, such as electricity, light, telephone, computer, digital currency and so on, how many of the things that are pushing mankind forward are invented by Chinawhen a phenomenon appears, we must study the background and logic behind it. The future competition can be said to be military competition, economic development competition and financial competition, but it can also be said to be ideological and computational competition. It's easier to close mines than to stop trends
at present, one bitcoin is divided into eight decimal places, namely 0.00000001btc, based on the current data structure. The smallest unit of bitcoin g by miners is 0.00000001btc
generally speaking, bitcoin is like a gold mountain composed of 21 million gold coins. To get it, players need to use the computing power of the computer to calculate a group of numbers that conform to specific rules according to the existing algorithms.
Although many countries do not recognize the value and status of bitcoin, bitcoin is still popular in recent years, and its existence is controversial. Some people say that it has no practical significance, just a number. If it is not officially recognized by the world, mining is a constant waste of energy. Some people say & lt; No one can be sure whether bitcoin is a black horse or not
in fact, bitcoin is calculated and proced through computer networking, also known as mining. At the beginning, there was a personal computer to dig, but the efficiency was relatively low, and the cost of graphics card was low. Then there was a special bitcoin mining machine, ranging from several hundred to two or three hundred thousand yuan
when we talk about bitcoin, we naturally need blockchain because of the blockchain, bitcoin can become bitcoin. It is a secure general ledger for all payments and transactions. It can be said that everyone can contribute to the update. We need to solve a very complex mathematical problem by brute force& mdash; Hash algorithm to complete a block
many people want to know the value of a bitcoin. In fact, the price of bitcoin is changing all the time. We need to check the figures of that day. At present, the price of a bitcoin is less than 30000
bitcoin itself is a number of virtual currency and a tool for capital speculation. It does not lie in whether it can create value, but whether it can create benefits for itself
for example, real money, which is proced by wasting resources, is a trading tool; Another example is the game console, which is a waste of resources, time and energy, but also a personal entertainment tool. Do they really create value
I don't quite agree with bitcoin, but it's chosen by capital speculation, which is artificial, but it can't be controlled by human
as we all know, bitcoin is generated by a network node after completing the calculation of specific mathematical problems, and with the passage of time, the generation of bitcoin will be slower and slower. With the discovery of data blocks, unlocking a single block will be more and more complex, but the bitcoin will be less and less. Unless you use circuits or computer systems designed for mining, such as GPU computing, it's hard to quickly mine bitcoin - and these systems, in general, consume a lot of power< A computer used for mining bitcoin is very expensive in electricity and body.
the tracking results of foreign institutions on bitcoin data show that bitcoin miners use 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity every day - yes, 1 million kilowatt hours of electricity, which costs US $150000 in total to mine bitcoin. At the current exchange rate, the daily income of miners is about 470000 US dollars, but the majority of the income is not attributable to ordinary people like you and me. Most of these benefits are taken away by people who have built a special mining system. If ordinary users use ordinary computers to dig bitcoin, the benefits can't catch up with the electricity bill
as an emerging e-currency, bitcoin is not as easy to dig as it used to be, and its market prospect is difficult to determine.
Bitcoin can be called an electricity swallowing beast, consuming global energy. This incident has also aroused heated discussion among netizens on the Internet. In fact, speaking of bitcoin, it is very mysterious and has only developed on the Internet in recent years. Bitcoin mining consumes a lot of power, which is related to the computers it uses, because we all know that mining requires professional mining machines. Even the most advanced mining machines have very high proction power in the market, and these mining machines need 24 hours of continuous operation to dig a small amount of bitcoin, and they also need to keep cooling, So this is the reason why bitcoin consumes a lot of power
Third, the impact on people's lives
we also hope that the local government can stop the mining behavior, and also hope that all over the world can support the mining behavior of bitcoin, many netizens said, The rise of bitcoin price has nothing to do with ordinary people. On the contrary, it has led to the rise of the price of graphics cards, which has a very big impact. We all know that bitcoin is different from legal currency, which has no practical significance. We hope that people can recognize its true colors, and that the relevant government can close bitcoin mines. Only in this way can our motherland develop more rapidly, Let's live more and more
