Global CEO of bitcoin

1. Unknowingly, bitcoin has been in dispute for nearly eight years. Since its birth, people have loved and hated bitcoin. Supporters firmly believe that bitcoin can subvert the existing monetary system, while opponents think it is worthless<

recently, the identity of Satoshi Nakamoto, the father of bitcoin, was accidentally exposed, which made bitcoin, which had graally faded out of the public's view, hot again. However, Craig, an Australian businessman with low-key and simple daily behavior, is still in the market; It took only five days for Craig Wright to admit that he had no courage to give up and prove that he was Nakamoto

not surprisingly, the mystery of "Nakamoto Tsung" will continue

"the twists and turns of Zhongben Cong's identity have not brought significant impact on the bitcoin market," Li Qiyuan, President of bitcoin China (BTCC), said in an interview with the first Financial Daily yesterday (May 9). As an innovative thing, bitcoin has been able to survive and grow steadily in the past few years, marking a kind of success. Liu Shengjun, executive vice president of China Europe Lujiazui Institute of international finance, is worried about the development prospect of bitcoin. "At present, no government is willing to give up its management power and accept bitcoin to replace legal tender."< On November 1, 2008, Nakamoto published a research report in a secret cryptography discussion group, in which the concept of bitcoin was first proposed. In 2009, the world's first bitcoin algorithm software appeared. In just four years after that, the price of bitcoin increased by hundreds or even thousands of times, which eclipsed other investment targets

as the creator of bitcoin, "Nakamoto Tsung" not only grasps the most core technology, but also increases people's curiosity and speculation about his real identity because of its huge wealth brought by about 1 million bitcoins (the current price of one bitcoin is about 2970 yuan)< On May 2, Wright publicly told several major overseas media that he was the so-called "Nakamoto Tsung", the founder of bitcoin, which aroused heated discussion in the market<

(the price trend of bitcoin in the past year)

Wright, 46, is a computer scientist and an entrepreneur. When he introced himself at the 2015 bitcoin investor conference, he said that he was a scholar, engaged in business research, and had a doctor of law and a master's degree in statistics

according to foreign mainstream media, Wright confirmed his identity as "Nakamoto Tsung" from a technical point of view by using the bitcoin owned by the founder of bitcoin. Wright also said publicly that it was not easy to make a decision to disclose his identity, and the reason for his clarification was his love and concern for his work, which he "hoped to eliminate the false legends and worries surrounding bitcoin"

as the Internet world continues to argue about Wright's real identity, the plot takes a major turn< On May 6, Wright suddenly published an open letter entitled "I'm sorry", saying that he "has no courage" to continue to prove his identity as "Nakamoto Tsung"

"I believed that I could end the years of hiding and hiding. However, with the events of the past week fermenting, I was going to publish the evidence that I had the initial block, but I couldn't stand it. I don't have the courage. I can't do it. " Wright said<

Wright once said in his public identity that he did not want money, nor did he want to be famous, nor did he want to be worshipped, but only wanted to be alone. Li Qiyuan told China Business Daily that if he really wanted to live his own life, why did he suddenly choose to expose his identity

obviously, the emergence of Wright has not completely ended the mystery of "Nakamoto" and investors are more concerned about the impact of "Nakamoto" on the price of bitcoin

Gong Ming, the founder of blockchain pencil, told the first financial daily that the identity of "Zhongben cong" will not have a substantial impact on the market, but is more symbolic. Unless "Nakamoto Tsung" sells a lot of bitcoin, it will not have an impact on the price of bitcoin. "From 2009 to now," Nakamoto Tsung "is not a person who has a strong desire for money and will not buy or sell bitcoin because of the high or low value of the currency."< Recently, Zug, a small Swiss town, announced that from July 1 this year, buyers will be allowed to pay for its public services with bitcoin as the payment method. Although there are still great limitations in the scope and amount of this payment method, the small progress is enough to cheer bitcoin's staunch admirers

from the beginning, virtual goods can only be purchased on the Internet, to now, bitcoin can be converted into multi-national currencies, and there are many twists and turns along the way

in February 2014, Mt. GOx, the world's largest bitcoin trading platform at that time, said that bitcoin was stolen e to large-scale hacker attacks, with a total loss of $470 million, and the platform declared bankruptcy. Affected by this, the price of bitcoin plummeted from more than $600 to $102 in just a few seconds, a drop of 83%

in January 2015, bitstamp, one of the most reliable bitcoin trading platforms in the world, was attacked by hackers, resulting in the theft of at least US $5 million of bitcoin, causing panic among some cryptocurrency holders. The openness and security of bitcoin cause instry concern. When the negative news came out, bitcoin was finally recognized by the regulatory authorities

in September 2015, the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) confirmed for the first time that bitcoin and other virtual currencies are defined as commodities, which means that bitcoin is classified as commodities like gold and oil, and trading behavior will comply with all commodity derivatives market rules; In October of the same year, the European Court of justice formally ruled that bitcoin and other virtual currencies in Europe should be exempt from VAT just like traditional currencies. Because according to the relevant provisions of the EU, "currencies, bank bills and coins used as legal tender" do not need to pay VAT. Bitcoin has taken a solid step towards legalization

nevertheless, the market is still worried about whether bitcoin, which reached a historical peak of more than 8000 yuan in 2013, can return to its former glory

at present, the price of bitcoin is hovering around 2900 yuan, which is much more stable than the previous ups and downs, and the trading volume of bitcoin has also dropped significantly

"I don't think bitcoin has changed from hot to cold. Compared with the sharp rise and overheating in 2013, I think it is now the normal price of bitcoin. In 2013, bitcoin rose from tens of dollars in January to thousands of dollars in less than a year, overdrawing the later increase, so it has been falling back after 2013." Gong Ming told the first financial daily

how much is bitcoin worth? It is estimated that bitcoin players, exchanges, mining machine manufacturers and even bitcoin creators can not give an accurate answer

although the value of bitcoin cannot be determined, one thing is certain that the number of bitcoins is certain. Because the "issuance" of bitcoin depends on complex calculation, it is essentially different from the "printing" mode of traditional currency issuance. The total amount of bitcoin graally increases according to the design predetermined rate, and the increase rate graally slows down, and finally reaches the limit of 21 million in 2140. The instry estimates that the total amount has reached 15.5 million

Li Qiyuan believes that the limited number of bitcoin is in sharp contrast to the inflation and the decline in the purchasing power of fiat money caused by the massive printing of money by central banks“ The goal of bitcoin is not to replace the existing currency, but to become a universal digital asset in the world and provide convenience for people's lives. "

it is generally expected that with the departure of short-term speculators, the continuous development of bitcoin related applications and the improvement of infrastructure, the digital currency represented by bitcoin will be in a benign development stage

in addition to bitcoin, there are also outstanding digital currencies such as lightcoin, Ethereum, dogcoin and Ruitai coin.

2.

Who is Nakamoto? Why are people so curious about him? This person, who calls himself Nakamoto Tsung, said that he lost his bitcoin, not one or two, but a lot. What does 980000 bitcoins mean

so we should take a calm attitude towards bitcoin

so far, no one knows the true face of this Nakamoto. Even his so-called 980000 bitcoins are skeptical

because, generally, people who are really rich are disdainful of showing off their wealth

3.

Invisible bitcoin can not only make people rich or poor overnight, but also bring people worry about their lives

According to Ukrainian media reports quoted by the daily telegraph, on Tuesday (December 26), Pavel Lerner, CEO of the British bitcoin exchange exmo, was kidnapped after leaving his office in Kiev, Ukraine, and dragged into a black galloping car by a group of masked people

after the above news came out, a spokesperson of exmo told the daily telegraph that we are doing our best to speed up the search for Lerner and welcome all clues from the outside world. Exmo's business is running as usual and all users' funds are absolutely safe. According to the company's official website, the platform has more than 900000 users

after the kidnapping incident attracted public attention, exmo also announced on official twitter on Thursday that it had been attacked by DDoS (distributed denial of service) with the intention of destroying platform transactions

according to Wall Street reports, at the beginning of this month, when bitcoin rose to more than US $13000, the payment system of nice hash, the world's largest digital currency mining platform, was hacked and bitcoin in users' wallets was stolen. Bitcoin millionaire, a bitcoin information website, has since estimated that as many as 4736 bitcoins were stolen by hackers, with a total value of more than $62 million

interestingly, as a foreign netizen imagined, after the kidnappers received the ransom, if bitcoin continued to appreciate, it would be OK. If bitcoin collapsed before the gloves turned, wouldn't it be a "huge loss"

In fact, this is also the old question in the minds of many investors - how long can bitcoin's investment boom last

On December 2, when talking about bitcoin in public activities, pan Gongsheng, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said that it was a decisive and correct decision for regulators to shut down bitcoin trading platform and stop ICO a few months ago

According to BBC news, on December 14, Andrew Bailey, CEO of the financial conct authority (FCA), the UK's top regulator, issued a warning to investors, saying that bitcoin buyers should be ready for "full compensation". Bitcoin lacks the endorsement and support of the government and the central bank, and its risk level is the same as gambling, he said

on Thursday (December 28), the South Korean government announced the countermeasures to combat virtual currency speculation, and considered closing some virtual currency transactions, so as to curb excessive speculation. In addition, the South Korean government has decided to implement the real name system of virtual currency trading and expand the investigation authority of the Fair Trade Commission, the anti-monopoly law enforcement agency

In a statement, the South Korean government said that cryptocurrency speculation in South Korea has gone too far and has become irrational, according to the report. The government can no longer allow abnormal speculation to develop

the Indian authorities also issued a warning. On Friday, India's finance ministry warned investors about the risks of cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin, saying digital currency investments look like a Ponzi scheme, Reuters reported. In a statement, India's Ministry of Finance said investors and other participants in digital currency transactions were "entirely at their own risk" and advised that it was best to avoid such investments

but from the perspective of optimists, bitcoin is not as static as gold. As a virtual currency, its software code is constantly developing, and its functions can be constantly adjusted, improved and updated, and its value can be realized in unimaginable ways, such as, Many bitcoin fans are looking forward to bitcoin's "lightning network" (an improved way to facilitate payment). If bitcoin gets more attractive functions in the process of continuous evolution, people can even use it for convenient and fast cross-border payment

according to China Securities Journal, based on the sustainability of bitcoin development, bitcoin supporters believe that even if the market value of cryptocurrency expands to 20 times the current value, the market will not go crazy. However, as far as bitcoin itself is concerned, with more and more new technologies coming out, bitcoin's share in the cryptocurrency market will show a downward trend in the future

Hong shuning, a senior researcher of Suning Institute of financial research, recently wrote an article, imagining two situations of "truly killing bitcoin":

first, all bitcoin development teams are conservative and complacent, no longer absorbing the latest scientific and technological achievements to improve themselves, resulting in the emergence of a new digital currency with all aspects of technical indicators exceeding bitcoin, It is widely accepted by the society and then replaces bitcoin. This is the failure of bitcoin, but also the success of virtual digital currency

Second, there are serious loopholes in the bitcoin protocol or wallet software, which lead to the security of the whole bitcoin system can not be guaranteed, a large area of funds are stolen, sold at a low price and uncontrollable in the short term, and the social confidence in bitcoin is completely lost

so. In this world, money is easy to use

4. The world's largest bitcoin dealer, mtgox, was once the world's largest bitcoin dealer before it went bankrupt last year. Japanese police recently arrested its CEO, mark colperes
bitcoin once became popular and became an investment tool for many people, forcing financial officials including China to warn that investing in this virtual currency is not only illegal but also extremely risky. Mark colperles, 30, lost $387 million on his bitcoin investment, and mtgox, which he acquired in 2011, suddenly went bankrupt in February last year
colperles is suspected of using bitcoin trading computer system to input forged data, resulting in false accounts. He said there was a problem with the computer system, but soon the company went bankrupt. According to reports from Japan, colperles is accused of making $1 million from the company's bankruptcy proceedings, but his defense lawyers denied that he was involved in any illegal act
bitcoin house, the mainstream media in the coin circle, has more reports.

5. For many years, people only know that bitcoin was invented by a person who calls himself "Nakamoto", but no one knows who he is or whether he really is. It has been speculated that he may be an economist, the initiator of bitkin's proposal, or the Security Department of the United States or Russia<

Newsweek recently reported that after learning about Nakamoto's family and some bitcoin programmers, he found Nakamoto in San Bernardino, Southern California. He immigrated to California with his mother in 1959 and received a bachelor's degree in physics from Caltech

later, he changed his name to Dorian prentice<

according to the report, Nakamoto only vaguely admitted his connection with the bitcoin project, saying that he would no longer participate in the project, and refused to further discuss his relationship with the project

the report quoted him as saying: "the project has been handed over to other people, who are currently in charge of it and have no relationship with me any more."< However, in an interview with the associated press later, Nakamoto said that Newsweek misunderstood what he said. "What I said at the time sounded like I was involved in the bit project, but now it's gone. That's not what I wanted to say," he said. What I want to say is that I'm no longer involved in engineering. "

the bitcoin foundation is unwilling to confirm whether the report is true, saying that "there is no evidence to prove that the report's Mr. Nakamoto is the founder of bitcoin."

it is reported that if he is the founder of bitcoin, his wealth is expected to be as high as US $400 million (about S $500 million)
whether Nakamoto is really related to bitcoin or not, even his closest family members don't know. His brother Alto said: "he is very focused and has his own unique set of ideas. He's smart. He's good at math, engineering or computers

andreson, chief scientist of the bitcoin foundation, said that he and a man named "Nakamoto" discussed bitcoin online from June 2010 to April 2011, but they never talked on the phone, let alone met. "If you show up as the founder of bitcoin, now you have to come out and speak and comment on the media, which is not suitable for Nakamoto's personality," andreson told Newsweek.
