Bitcoin's main competitors

1.
if the cryptocurrency exchange is the largest bitcoin warehouse, people may not be surprised. 6.7% (about $9.8 billion) of bitcoin currently in circulation are held by cryptocurrency exchanges however, more interestingly, despite the long bear market, the bitcoin reserves of these exchanges have been increasing no matter "up or down"
in the past two years, BTC inventories of eight exchanges including Kraken, bitstamp and binance have increased steadily. This is in sharp contrast to the volatility bitcoin has experienced since March 2017. These largest bitcoin holders continue to have confidence in the cryptocurrency market and continue to increase their share regardless of market conditions
if you imagine yourself as a big fish in an infill pond, it may become easier in the future. As bitco reported a few weeks ago, the number of BTCs you need to be a whale may change over time. If you believe in some theories, holding a bitcoin may give you enough power to influence the market
although others disagree, they point out that one of the 21 million bitcoins is very "insignificant". So no matter what the situation is, no matter how many bitcoins you have, keep a positive attitude
2. Last year, when the price of bitcoin soared all the way, some media said that Chinese aunts began to enter bitcoin, and Chinese aunts occupied the majority of China's bitcoin market. However, afterwards, all major trading platforms and relevant people refuted the rumor that most of the people playing bitcoin were men. Most of them are between 20 and 40 years old, mostly 30-year-old it men
in fact, there is still a complete conclusion on this issue, but most people at home and abroad agree that bitcoin is purchased by people with financial, Internet and investment backgrounds. I think it's not reliable for Chinese aunt to enter bitcoin. It's hard for people who know nothing about bitcoin to let her buy it
bitcoin is an open source software and system, with a total of 21 million. At present, about 1300 have been g up. The founder of bitcoin is Nakamoto (an extremely mysterious person or organization)
bitcoin is proced by mining. Bitcoin mining has gone through three development stages: CPU, GPU and ASIC. At present, bitcoin mining is in the stage of professional ASIC bitcoin mining, and the mainstream bitcoin miner in the market is Avalon's third generation single-mode miner. Avalon is a well-known miner hardware solution service provider in the world.

3. Bitcoin is different from the previous currency, it completely relies on the Internet to create and trade; Bitcoin's unique technical attributes lead to its economic and cultural attributes beyond the present currency. Bitcoin is a kind of electronic currency proced by open-source P2P software. Compared with the paper currency in circulation, the biggest feature of bitcoin is decentralization and global circulation in the network world, followed by high security and high confidentiality. These technical attributes further extend to the economic attributes of no inflation, no freezing, and no man-made supply; In terms of culture, bitcoin is popular among anarchists and liberals. The advantages of bitcoin are artificially exaggerated, and its anti inflation and anti inflation functions cannot stand up to scrutiny. In the long run, the prospect of bit is hard to match that of gold. In the most optimistic case, it will become a means of payment in some areas; But in the short and medium term, bit still has room for speculation and imagination. In addition, the use of bitcoin in some sensitive areas highlights the increasingly prominent role of information in national security
1. The advantages of bitcoin are exaggerated: About decentralization, no transaction costs and anti inflation
it is true that bitcoin has various advantages over paper money, but these advantages have been over interpreted. First of all, bitcoin is a kind of decentralized currency, which will not have the same risk of central bank controlling money supply and affecting market value as paper money; Bitcoin is mainly held in the hands of large investors, and the market depth is not enough. At present, the trading behavior of large investors is also very easy to affect the price of bitcoin. Even if the attribute of decentralization is regarded as the advantage of bitcoin when it is fully mature, then the prerequisite of holding decentralization should be added. In addition, there are great differences between centralized and decentralized online payment systems in the degree and type of financial risks they are exposed to
secondly, the low transaction cost of bitcoin is not without transaction cost. On the contrary, e to the increasing difficulty of bitcoin mining and the further stability of currency value, the dependence of relevant transaction platforms on transaction cost will increase, which will certainly increase the transaction cost. Finally, the confidentiality of the bitcoin transaction needs to be discussed. The principle of the bitcoin transaction makes all the processes of each bitcoin transaction stored in each machine. If someone can determine the real background of a transaction, they can find all the transactions down and up through these data
compared with other advantages, anti inflation or anti inflation is the most publicized advantage. Although its supply is stable and the upper limit of supply is locked according to its algorithm, unless the whole world is unified and all countries use bits as currency, it can not prevent the over issuance of money only as a means of payment or a storage of value, just as the current existence of gold can not constrain the growth of each country's currency. If bits can only be used as a means of payment in local areas (such as the network), then global or some countries' inflation will still be transmitted to the areas where bits are used. Therefore, the use of bits to prevent inflation is basically untenable, or has a strong premise. As for anti inflation, that is to say, it has the function of value storage, it needs to have the property similar to gold. However, from the reality, bit's essential property and prospect are still hard to match gold. See below for details
2. Bitcoin's future positioning is too high
the expectation of bitcoin's future in the market generally compares it with gold and US dollar, which is relatively high. The recognition of gold not only lies in its natural physical properties, but also in its official acceptance as a reserve currency (or an important allocation of foreign exchange assets). In theory, bitcoin as an electronic currency does not have the unique and exclusive status, and it is more difficult to become the official reserve of central banks like gold. Therefore, it is not appropriate to expect too much bit. As an electronic currency, bit has the first mover advantage. If it can be guaranteed in terms of security, its most optimistic prospect will be as a means of payment in local areas
3. Speculation and speculative demand caused by event factors are the main reasons for the rise of bitcoin in this round
under the credit currency system, people's lack of confidence in the currencies of various countries and pessimistic economic prospects are the general environment for the rise of bitcoin in this round. The speculation of the major dealers in the market and the derivatives market of bitcoin, together with the speculative psychology of the participants, further accelerated its rise. Btcchina's investment of US $5 million and the announcement of Ben's position are the main driving factors for the recent surge
however, a lot of big players start to enter the market and buy a lot, which not only drives the bit price up to a high level, but also increases the market risk. Chamath, a former Facebook executive, has spent $5 million on bitcoin and plans to spend another $10 million. Bitcoin investment trust also exceeded its target within four weeks, raising $15 million. These people's investments not only make bitcoin further rise, but also concentrate on the holding of bitcoin, which strengthens the influence of indivials and institutions on the price of bitcoin and increases the market risk
4. There is still strong room for speculation in the medium and short term
although our previous analysis is not optimistic about the prospect of bit, it is likely that bit will still have strong room for speculation in such a short and medium term period of time as one year. As mentioned in the previous analysis, the creators of bitcoin advocate that the generation of bitcoin is not manipulated by human factors, which is quite different from the credit currencies of various countries. We expect that the monetary policies of major countries will be divided next year. With the release of economic risks and the heavy damage to traditional asset markets, bitcoin will have better room for speculation and imagination< The use of bitcoin in some sensitive areas highlights the increasingly prominent role of information in national security
the U.S. government seized the drug trading website "Silk Road" at the beginning of last month. A crowdfunding network called "assassination market" even marked the sale of murderers with bitcoin price. The founder of the assassin market, under the pseudonym of kuwabatake Sanjuro, is an extreme anarchist. Both prism gate incident and the use of bitcoin in relevant sensitive fields highlight the increasingly prominent position of information field in national security. The Third Plenary Session proposed the establishment of the national security committee, which will play an important role in China's security strategy and expand from traditional national defense, stability maintenance / urban security to information security and other emerging areas

4. If bitcoin and Ethernet have different rules, do they have different ways of trading and investment
for a long time, Ethernet has been regarded as a strong competitor of bitcoin. It wasn't until Andreas antonopoulos claimed that Ethernet was no longer a competitor of bitcoin, which triggered a heated discussion on social networks
people begin to compare the two and discuss the differences in investment and transaction between the two digital currencies< According to Chris burniske, analyst and blockchain proct director of ark investment management company, bitcoin is more used for hedging, while Ethereum, which relies on Ethereum to execute smart contracts, is more seen as a trading tool
bitcoin and Ethereum systems are built on the basis of blockchain, in which transactions will be recorded publicly, making currency and asset transactions more convenient and preferential, eliminating the cumbersome middleman
in December 2015, the price of Ethernet currency was less than US $1, but now it has risen to US $15, nearly 15 times in just six months. This achievement is attributed to Ethereum, whose financial contracts are completely executed by software, which has attracted a large number of users to invest
with the previous example of Ethereum, the success of Dao (decentralized autonomous organization) is nothing to make a fuss about. The crowdfunding platform supported by Ethereum raised nearly $150 million from more than 10000 anonymous users. Each participant is given the right to vote, they can allocate funds, choose projects, once the investment project is successful, they can also get a certain degree of dividend reward< At present, there are 670 bitcoin ATMs in the world, and thousands of outlets support bitcoin payment. Unlike bitcoin, Ethereum has not yet emerged in the field of electronic payment. At present, the main purpose of Ethereum is to support Ethereum network (such as Dao) to run programs<
David ccini, executive director of the strength in numbers foundation, said:
users have different expectations for Ethernet and bitcoin. Both cryptocurrencies can be used for speculation, but the original function of Ethernet currency is to support the operation of applications. Therefore, users need enough Ethernet coins to run their own app. This is also the problem faced by Dao - unless Dao can continuously generate new Ethernet coins, the payment platform will be in danger of outage.

5. According to CMC data statistics, there are nearly 300 digital currency transactions currently included, among which the domestic transactions at the top are fire currency, okex, manyuan.com, etc., while the others are overseas exchanges.
6. Bitcoin is a virtual cryptocurrency based on decentralization, peer-to-peer network, consensus initiative, open source, and blockchain as the underlying technology. It was proposed by Nakamoto in 2008 and born in 2009
bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer. It is generated by the calculation of network nodes. It can be bought and sold on any computer connected to the Internet, and has a strong scarcity
Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency. The whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
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
exclusive ownership: private key is required to manipulate bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
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
no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
cross platform Mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms

7. 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<
at the end of 2010, Nakamoto left the project and did not disclose much about his identity. Since then, many developers have devoted themselves to bitcoin projects, and the bitcoin community has grown rapidly
bitcoin's protocols and software are publicly released. Any developer around the world can view its code or develop their own modified version of bitcoin software. Just like current developers, Nakamoto's influence is limited to the changes he makes that are adopted by others. Therefore, Nakamoto does not control bitcoin. So, today, the question of the identity of the inventor of bitcoin may be the same as that of the inventor of paper< At present, the bitcoin foundation is mainly responsible for the development and maintenance of bitcoin projects
bitcoin is proced by mining. Mining is also a very professional work. At present, bitcoin mining needs professional ASIC miner, such as Avalon three generation single-mode miner.

8. First: have a soldier like trading discipline and mentality. When investors graally form the concept of trend trading and build the system framework of trend trading, they formally enter the strategy implementation stage. During the trading period, the trading discipline is always the same. Just as new recruits enter the barracks, traders enter the stage of cultivating and forging human nature from the time they open their positions. In this process, it is very important to have the same strict discipline as soldiers. If necessary, it is a more reliable method to make a strict planning process for Discipline execution itself
Second, we should do something in the transaction and not do something. Doing something means doing something meaningful in foreign exchange trading: facing up to one's own trading weakness, training one's executive ability, constantly improving the trading system, and focusing on trading related matters. What you don't mean is: there are many trading opportunities in the foreign exchange market, but there are not many matching and suitable trading opportunities. In the face of the temptation of the rise and fall of the K-line, some people will enter into the state of aimless frequent order making, leading to continuous losses. Therefore, only by following the pace of the market, stepping on the pace of trading, planning and then moving, can it be more likely to achieve trading profits
thirdly, foreign exchange trading is the same as go competition. Participants' trading skills are comparable to chess skills, and their trading mood is comparable to the mood of playing chess. No matter whether we give up the small to save the big between attack and defense, enter the boundary should be slow, or short when the market changes, long when the market is low, the wisdom of go is also of great guiding significance in trading. Therefore, in addition to the study of foreign exchange trading itself, the book on go theory can also be used for reference. One is to exercise mood, and the other is to communicate with each other, which is beneficial to traders.

9.
According to CCTV, the price of bitcoin has fluctuated dramatically in the past four months< investors and currency holders are the first to benefit from the recent price rise
the creator of bitcoin, Nakamoto Tsung, who g 1 million coins in the early days, is now worth about US $52 billion, ranking about 24th according to the real-time ranking of the billionaires of the company
However, two weeks ago, Tesla disclosed in the SEC filing that it had purchased 1.5 billion US dollars worth of bitcoin at that time. After that, the price of bitcoin quickly exceeded the 40000 US dollars marksome analysts said that after Tesla bought bitcoin, it has made a profit of more than US $1 billion, exceeding the profit of car sales in 2020. In addition to Tesla, many companies holding a lot of bitcoin assets have also made a lot of money in this wave of price increases
in addition, in the midst of price fluctuations, the profit-making institutions related to bitcoin trading are . In addition to the substantial increase in the value of bitcoin assets they hold, their trading income also increases as bitcoin rises and transactions increase
extended data
the price of bitcoin is affected by many factors:
analysts believe that the price of bitcoin is affected by many factors, first of all, opinion leaders like Elon Musk. Another key factor is the regulatory authorities. Recently, US Treasury Secretary Yellen's speech caused bitcoin's price to fall directly. At present, the major economies have not given a clear definition of bitcoin's regulation. The rash of this aspect will affect the development of bitcoin
10. The coin security smart chain has become an ecosystem, so there is no need to worry about this problem. Judging from the existing projects and new projects on the BSC, the heat and opportunities of the BSC are by no means short-lived.
