US debt and bitcoin
bitcoin, English name bitcoin, is a digital currency based on blockchain technology, which is composed of a series of computer-generated complex codes. Like RMB's ￥ and US dollar's $, bitcoin has its own symbol, the "B" in the figure below
The inventor of 
bitcoin is Nakamoto. Satoshi Nakamoto is the creator of bitcoin protocol and its related software bitcoin QT. In 2008, he published a paper called "bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system", describing an electronic currency and its algorithm that he called "bitcoin"
In 2009, he released the first bitcoin software and officially launched the bitcoin financial system In 2010, he graally faded out and handed over the project to other members of the bitcoin communityNakamoto is believed to hold about one million bitcoins. If the price of each bitcoin was $2W, it was worth $20 billion at one time. So far, his true identity is still unknown to the outside world, that is to say, no one knows who Nakamoto is
bitcoin appeared after the global financial crisis in 2008. In fact, before that, many people have tried electronic currency, digital currency and virtual currency, but they have not succeeded. There are not only technical reasons, but also social environment and economic background reasons. To some extent, it was the 2008 financial crisis that gave birth to bitcoin
what is bitcoin ETN? Bitcoin ETN is bitcoin exchange traded notes (bonds)
ETN, that is, exchange traded bonds or exchange traded notes. It is a kind of unguaranteed creditor's rights. The issuer promises to pay investors a certain amount to the holders at the maturity of the bonds. The payment amount is based on a specific market index, minus the necessary fees, and does not pay fixed interest, And the principal is not guaranteed
bitcoin ETN is a bill (bond) traded on bitcoin exchange, which allows users to participate in investment by tracking the price trend of bitcoin. What users hold is the promise to cash their funds according to their price index over a period of time. At the same time, it is also a very efficient hedging tool
after investors purchase bitcoin ETN, they do not need to hold bitcoin directly. The company will hold bitcoin on behalf of investors, which reces the investment risk of investors. As an investment tool, it greatly widens the channel for institutional investors to invest in cryptocurrency
is bitcoin ETN and ETF confused so, what are the differences between bitcoin ETN and bitcoin ETF the procts of bitcoin ETN and ETF are similar in that investors can invest in bitcoin without holding bitcoin directly; Second, in view of the characteristics of cryptocurrency price fluctuations, both of them have solved the worries of investors when they invest in cryptocurrency; Secondly, both can effectively attract more investors and bring more capital inflow; At the same time, both have the credit endorsement of traditional financial institutions, which greatly reces the investment risk of investors
Second, bitcoin ETN allows users to participate in investment by tracking the price trend. What users hold is the promise to cash in accordance with their price index over a period of time. Bitcoin ETF is a trading open-end index fund set up with the bitcoin price index in a certain market as the target index, similar to gold ETF. In addition to the ETF investors who are the beneficiaries of the trust, there are also three important subjects: the sponsor, the trustee and the custodian. They will sign the trust contract and perform their respective ties according to the contract
Thirdly, different from ETF using a basket of stocks for redemption, ETN using cash for redemption will be subject to some restrictions, resulting in low timeliness. The arbitrage efficiency of ETF is lower than that of ETF because of the non physical redemption characteristics, so the discount premium rate is generally higher than that of ETF The successful entry of ETN procts into the U.S. market can make it easier for investors holding US dollars to invest in bitcoin related procts, which undoubtedly increases the attraction of digital currency as an investment assetthe regulation of ETN, a cryptocurrency listed on the stock exchange, fully shows that bitcoin is officially recognized as a legal asset class. In addition, as an investment tool, it greatly widens the channels for institutional investment to enter cryptocurrency investment
after ETN enters the market, what is the response of bitcoin market
it was once believed that bitcoin price would soar all the way when ETF passed and a large number of institutional investors entered the market. ETN is regarded as the "soft" substitute of bitcoin ETF, which is the dream of the public. ETN allows us dollar holders to invest in bitcoin without holding bitcoin. In principle, this should be a big event that can drive the market, but in fact, the market response is not big, and it does not attract many US investors and the Wall Street capital they are fighting for, This is a strange phenomenon
Jeff kilburg, founder and CEO of KKM financial, explained that the price of bitcoin will continue to fluctuate until the application for ETF is finally answered, and ETN will not have much influence
Bart Smith, head of the digital assets Department of Susquehanna International Group, a global investment market giant, is optimistic about this. He said that ETN has had a certain influence on the market, but it is far less explosive than ETF
there are also views that in order to make ETN procts more competitive, investors need to persuade their brokerage account providers to provide bitcoin ETN services on their platforms. According to the reaction of many investors, their brokerage account suppliers say that they do not support cxbtf (bitcoin tracker one's transaction code) transactions at present, or they need to perform more complicated steps to carry out transactions
ETN is neither regulated by SEC nor registered with SEC, so its influence is far less than that of ETF
although US investors can now invest in bitcoin through ETN and some institutional exchanges, bitcoin has not yet reached a new height. Most cryptocurrency market investors still hope that regulators can approve bitcoin ETF to enter the U.S. market, because they believe that this will promote bitcoin to be adopted by more mainstream funds, including wall street, and will cause a large-scale price rise. In addition, the SEC continues to consider various applications for bitcoin ETFs, so there are still a lot of hype and excitement about the ETFs that may pass
yesterday, a number of investors called the hotline to say that they hoped more people would know about this and prevent them from falling into a trap when investing< In April last year, Mr. Lin learned from his friend pan that the other party was running a virtual currency project called dascoin, and pan invited him to attend an investment lecture
Pan rents a store in Haitan villa in the urban area and often holds lectures on virtual currency investment“ I heard that once, he said that dascoin has a good prospect, and the income in a few months may be dozens of times. He also showed me the records of other people's investment on their mobile phones, many of which were bought for hundreds of thousands of yuan. " Mr. Lin said that he knew very little about virtual coins. He heard that someone had made money for "bitcoin". After listening to Pan's publicity, he decided to try it. "At that time, the price of a Darth coin was more than 1 yuan. I transferred it to Alipay for 7000 yuan and bought 5000."
"Pan said that the coins would not arrive until three months later. He also gave something similar to the U shield of online banking, saying that it was a" virtual currency wallet "and that he wanted to buy and sell virtual coins through that login account." Mr. Lin said that he had been waiting for more than half a year, but he didn't receive the virtual currency. "I'm sorry to urge him because I'm a friend. In March this year, I questioned a few words in the investment group, and he kicked me out of the group."< Mr. Zheng, who is engaged in hardware business, knows little about virtual currency. He met Mr. Pan under the introction of a friend and invested nearly 250000 yuan to buy dascoin four times“ Pan said that virtual currency should be minted in batches. Let me wait patiently. " Mr. Zheng said that the first class was more than a year. During this period, he saw the price of a dascoin drop from more than 1 yuan to 8 cents today
according to the query website provided by pan to Mr. Zheng, dascoin was issued in May last year. At the beginning of the issue, the highest price was 1.5439 yuan per coin. Since then, it has been on a downward trend
on June 27, pan informed Mr. Zheng that all the virtual coins had been cast and had been entered into his account“ The dascoin I bought for 250000 yuan is only 20000 yuan according to the latest price. " Mr. Lin asked why the losses were so serious“ Pan said that the market is not good, this is a normal market fluctuation. "
on July 1, Mr. Zheng found pan with his "virtual currency wallet" and asked the other party to show how to sell virtual currency on the spot. He said that Pan told him that the domestic trading volume of dascoin was small and it was difficult to sell it. "He said that it could be traded abroad, but I said that it could be sold. As a result, he said that it would be operated through the English interface, and he would not do it. Anyway, it means that I can't sell these coins."<
answering "I don't know" in the face of questions has also blacked the reporter
the investors calling the news hotline said that in a "dascoin" investment group, there are nearly 100 investors, most of them from Wenzhou. At present, a rights protection group composed of more than 10 of them has been established. According to the rough statistics of the members of the group, the amount of their investment alone exceeds one million yuan. At present, they have not obtained the income promised by the other party
"pan is just a leader. His family name is a woman surnamed Liao. We suspect that more investors are kept in the dark." Mr. Lin said that after the dascoin project, Liao also set up other similar virtual currency projects. He wanted to remind investors to be careful of falling into the trap
yesterday, the reporter contacted pan and Liao. In the face of the above investors' doubts, pan refused "I don't know!" Then hang up and pull the phone black reporter<
Liao denied that he had promised to get high returns by investing in dascoin. "Investment is inherently risky, and it's normal to go up and down."
according to instry insiders, the virtual currency instry is a mixture of good and bad, so we must do our homework before investing, and do not blindly follow the trend. When investing, it is best to buy mainstream currencies from well-known large platforms.
