the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto on November 1, 2008, and was officially born on January 3, 2009. According to the idea of Nakamoto, the open source software is designed and released, and the P2P network on it is constructed. Bitcoin is a virtual encrypted digital currency in the form of P2P. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
unlike all currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation
the decentralized feature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially control the value of bitcoin by mass manufacturing. 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
extended data:
transaction method
bitcoin is e-cash similar to e-mail, and both parties need "bitcoin wallet" similar to e-mail and "bitcoin address" similar to e-mail address. Just like sending and receiving e-mail, the remitter pays bitcoin directly to the other party through a computer or smart phone according to the recipient's address. The following table lists some websites that download bitcoin wallets and addresses for free
a bitcoin address is a string of about 33 characters long, consisting of letters and numbers, always starting with 1 or 3, such as & quot& quot; Bitcoin software can generate address automatically, and it doesn't need to exchange information online, so it can be offline. There are a lot of bitcoin addresses available
the bitcoin address and private key appear in pairs, and their relationship is just like the bank card number and password. A bitcoin address is like a bank card number, which is used to record how much bitcoin is stored in the address. You can generate bitcoin address to store bitcoin at will. When each bitcoin address is generated, a corresponding private key of the address will be generated
this private key can prove ownership of the bitcoin at the address. The bitcoin address can be simply understood as the bank card number, and the private key of the address can be understood as the password of the corresponding bank card number. Only when you know the bank password can you use the money on the bank card number. Therefore, please keep the address and private key when using bitcoin wallet

Strictly speaking, there is no issue price for bitcoin. In 2010, a programmer bought a pizza with 10000 bitcoins, the first bitcoin deal

principle
starting from the essence of bitcoin, the essence of bitcoin is actually the special solution generated by a bunch of complex algorithms. A special solution is one of the finite solutions of a system of equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique. In the metaphor of banknotes, bitcoin is the number of the top word of a banknote. If you know the number of the top word on a banknote, you have the banknote
and the process of mining is to constantly seek the special solutions of the equations through huge amount of calculation. The equations are designed to have only 21 million special solutions, so the upper limit of bitcoin is 21 million
to mine bitcoin, you can download the special bitcoin computing tools, register various cooperation websites, fill the registered user name and password into the computing program, and then click the operation to officially start. After completing the installation of bitcoin client, you can directly obtain a bitcoin address. When others pay, you only need to paste the address to others, and you can pay through the same client
after installing the bitcoin client, it will assign a private key and a public key. You need to back up the wallet data containing your private key to ensure that your property is not lost. Unfortunately, if the hard disk is completely formatted, personal bitcoin will be completely lost

when bitcoin first appeared in 2009, one dollar could buy almost 1300 bitcoins. Before April 2011, the price of each bitcoin was always below $1. In June 2011, the highest price of bitcoin rose to $30. Then, the price almost fell within a week. In 2012, the price of bitcoin once fell below $2
further dropped to $114 on January 14, 2015. Since then, bitcoin has begun to rise again. In 2017, after the bitcoin ETF fund was rejected by the US Securities Regulatory Commission, bitcoin plummeted by $315 to below $1000. After that, it rose again. In the first four months of this year, the price of bitcoin and an ounce of gold were almost equal
However, with the strong rise of bitcoin in this round, the price of bitcoin has exceeded the price of an ounce of gold. On April 26, the price of bitcoin was $1282.97, compared with $1264 for an ounce of gold. Bitcoin has surpassed gold in price

in 2016, there were dozens of bitcoin exchanges in the world, and the trading volume of bitcoin in most countries and regions increased sharply. Among the countries and regions with the highest growth rate, the trading volume of bitcoin in Japan is second only to China, ranking second in the world; The local bitcoin trading volume in Venezuela increased by more than 913%
South Korea has become the sixth largest bitcoin trading market in the world, Korean people can buy bitcoin from a large number of convenience stores, and korbit's trading volume currently accounts for 70% of the South Korean market; Local bitcoin transactions in Colombia increased by about 370%; Bitcoin markets in Malaysia, Russia and Australia are also developing rapidly. Bitcoin trading in China once accounted for more than 80% of the global trading volume
as for why bitcoin is valuable, let me briefly analyze and explain it for reference only:
bitcoin is valuable because it is useful as a form of currency. Bitcoin has the mathematical characteristics of money (persistence, portability, interchangeability, scarcity, separability and identifiability) rather than relying on physical characteristics (such as gold and silver) or the trust of central authorities (such as fiat money). In short, bitcoin is backed by mathematics. With these characteristics, a form of money to have value requires trust and use. In contrast, this can be reflected in its growing base of users, businesses and start-ups. Like all currencies, the value of bitcoin comes directly from people who are willing to accept it as a means of payment, which is the only source

this paper briefly introces bitcoin and its value source for reference only:
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
