When did bitcoin become popular
It was officially born on January 3, 2009
since 2015, the future of bitcoin has become more and more uncertain. On the one hand, bitcoin fell as much as 55.55% against RMB last year; In 2015, bitcoin fell by more than 30% against the RMB in the first half of January alone
bitcoin's "falling" reflects the "self-healing" of its value after "fanaticism" to a certain extent. According to statistics, in 2013, bitcoin rose from 1 ∶ 13.59 to 1 ∶ 731, with an annual increase of 5300%. This speculative driven inflation has affected the virtual currency property on which bitcoin relies
on the one hand, no country has defined it as a legal currency. On the other hand, in 2014, the US dollar rose significantly, and the prices of oil and bulk commodities fell correspondingly. The price trend of bitcoin is the same as that of the latter, becoming part of the asset allocation of some speculators, which highlights that its asset attribute is far greater than the monetary attribute
extended data
Security and credit risk have also become the reasons for the decline of investor confidence. Mt. GOx, once the world's largest bitcoin exchange, claimed in March last year that it had lost all its assets e to hacker attacks. Recently, it was revealed that its lost bitcoin was probably e to internal system manipulation
the regulatory environment of bitcoin is not optimistic, and Russia, Thailand and other countries have begun to implement strict control on it. In addition, the global stock market performed well last year, resulting in the diversion of bitcoin investment funds, and the crazy "mining" activities also rapidly increased the supply of bitcoin, which may lead to a trend of oversupply in the short term, leading to a sharp drop in the price of bitcoin

unlike all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on a specific currency institution to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. The design based on cryptography can make bitcoin only be transferred or paid by the real owner. This also ensures the anonymity of money ownership and circulation transactions. The biggest difference between bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that the total amount of bitcoin is very limited and it has a strong scarcity.
The concept of bitcoin was founded by Nakamoto
On December 12, 2010, when bitcoin graally became a hot topic, he quietly left and disappeared from the Internet As a descendant of samurai, Nakamoto was born in 1949 in Beppu, Japan.

Nakamoto and his stepfather don't get along well, but according to his younger brother Arthur, Nakamoto showed his talent in mathematics and science when he was very young, but also showed his "fickle and strange interest"Nakamoto graated from Caltech, majoring in physics. Upon graation, he joined Hughes Aircraft and worked in defense and electronic communications. Later, Nakamoto worked for the U.S. military, and his experience was classified as a state secret. Now searching his files, his life is a blank
In 2008, in an e-mail group discussing information encryption on the Internet, he published an article outlining the basic framework of the bitcoin system.

at present, there are two ways for ordinary people to enter the bitcoin instry, one is to buy professional machinery and equipment to "mine" and the other is through trading and other exchange methods
however, e to the design of the algorithm, the bitcoin value generated by bitcoin will be halved every four years. From 2013 to 2016, 25 bitcoins will be generated every ten minutes on average, and from 2017, the number will be reced to 12.5. By 2030, after 20 million bitcoins have been mined, the remaining 1 million bitcoins will probably take decades to be mined; At the same time, with the increasing difficulty of mining, the price of advanced mining machine is higher and higher, which sets a big "threshold" for "mining". It is understood that as the blue ocean of "mining" has long disappeared, coupled with the soaring price of bitcoin, many "miners" directly switch to speculation in bitcoin and wait for appreciation before selling it
the trading process of bitcoin is similar to that of stocks
e to the attractive performance of bitcoin in the early stage, "speculation on bitcoin" has become increasingly popular in China. In an interview with the media, Li Qiyuan, chief executive of bitcoin China, said that in recent years, the number of new registered users and user activity of bitcoin China have improved significantly, and the upward trend is very obvious, which shows that more and more people are contacting bitcoin
at present, the mainstream trading platforms in China include bitcoin China, okcoin, fire coin, etc. the process of trading bitcoin is very similar to buying and selling stocks. Take huocoin.com as an example. After registration, you can start to buy bitcoin by recharging RMB to the website account, and the purchased bitcoin is stored in the website trading platform. If you sell successfully, you can also withdraw RMB from your account to your Alipay or bank account. Different from the previous 0.3% handling charge for each transaction, the domestic major bitcoin trading platforms have successively cancelled the transaction handling charge. However, a 0.4% service charge is still required for recharging through TenPay or online banking. If RMB is withdrawn, the withdrawal service charge will be charged according to the bank transfer rate from the second withdrawal every day.
blockchain is a technology implementation of distributed storage based on cryptography, and its significance is to ensure the security and reliability of information circulation process, but blockchain is not absolutely perfect, it depends on many factors
the benefits of blockchain. It has to be said that as a supplement to the social credit system, blockchain has natural advantages
1. Smart contract, which is the foundation of blockchain platform. With the help of smart contracts, rules can be applied safely when dealing with transactions. They can be used to automatically perform verification steps to encode conditions previously contained in signed physical contracts
2. Distributed storage, distributed storage system, is to store data in multiple independent devices. Traditional network storage system uses centralized storage server to store all data. Storage server becomes the bottleneck of system performance and the focus of reliability and security, which can not meet the needs of large-scale storage applications
3. The pursuit of capital and the pursuit of profit by capital are just like Satan's hell fire burning all the evil sources. The greed of capital will surely threaten all the hype concepts and reap the green of leeks. Good capital injection can also bring back the rapid development of the instry
"blockchain is the most popular fintech (Financial Technology). This innovative technology from bitcoin is subverting the financial instry and our lives. In 2015, blockchain became the highest financing sector in US venture capital, breaking through US $1 billion. This kind of hot financing scene only appears in foreign countries“ Few people in China really understand blockchain technology, "said a senior practitioner. This is the reality. In China, most of the companies that are known as blockchain technology are unwilling to give up the dividend of bitcoin and still stay in the primary stage of currency speculation; The transformation of the financial sector, more in essence, is just speculation concept stocks; There are few people who sincerely do technology. "
"blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin, which solves the process of bitcoin from 0 to 1. At this stage, blockchain has become a high-frequency word in the big and small science and technology summit, and its popularity is no less than that of "o2o" in the previous two years. When people are discussing blockchain, they are more concerned about how to use blockchain, and they have no doubt about the application value of blockchain. " Blockchain is a decentralized trust mechanism. In the past, blockchain was mainly used in bitcoin. Until the last half year, blockchain has graally started to have some other applications, especially in the financial field
blockchain is a technical solution to maintain a reliable database collectively through centralization and distrust. Generally speaking, blockchain technology refers to a way for the whole people to participate in bookkeeping. There is a database behind all the systems. You can think of the database as a big ledger. So it's very important who keeps this account book. At present, whose system will keep accounts, wechat's account book is Tencent's account book, and Taobao's account book is Ali's account book. But now in the blockchain system, everyone in the system can have the opportunity to participate in bookkeeping. If there is any data change in a certain period of time, everyone in the system can conct bookkeeping. The system will judge the person who has the fastest and best bookkeeping in this period, write the content of his records into the account book, and send the content of the account book to all other people in the system for backup. In this way, everyone in the system has a complete account book. This way, we call it blockchain technology
bitcoin is one of the most successful applications of blockchain technology. Specifically, the blockchain is a series of data blocks generated by the use of cryptography Association, and each data block contains the information of effective confirmation of multiple bitcoin network transactions. The structure of blockchain storage data is a chain composed of "storage blocks" on the network. Each block contains all the information exchange data in the network within a certain period of time. Blockchain is the underlying technology of bitcoin, but its role is not limited to bitcoin. Through cluster or cloud mode operation, the nodes can expand horizontally, and continuously improve the overall network performance based on benign competition
bitcoin has no legal compensation and compulsion, and its circulation range is limited and unstable. Bitcoin also has strong substitutability, so it is difficult to be a general equivalent. No matter how skillful the blockchain technology is, it is impossible to proce a national currency, and the mass investors should not follow suit.
