Movie stars hold bitcoin
Those people are living a good life now, those who played bitcoin in the early days & lt; The pig of tuyere & quot; Made a lot of money
the discussion of bitcoin in many forums is no longer limited to & quot; Is bitcoin a scam;, Instead, it extends to & lt; Can bitcoin become a global currency in my opinion, bitcoin is a full digital bubble. A virtual currency constructed by algorithm has no national support behind it. Moreover, the scarcity of bitcoin will inevitably lead to its appreciation very quickly, especially under the guidance of market economy. behind the currencies used by countries in daily life are endorsements with national prestige, just like the reason why the US dollar circulates around the world is not because the strong national strength of the United States ensures the liquidity of the US dollar Nakamoto's original simple idea of letting bitcoin replace the currencies of various countries and become the object of global circulation is a joke in terms of power struggle between countriesLet's start with a simple conclusion: a year ago, the data showed that there were about 500000 BTC
two American brothers, Cameron winkleworth and Taylor winkleworth, claiming that they owned 1% of bitcoin [1] 1% of the world's bitcoin? At present, the total amount of bitcoin in the world is about 12 million, that is to say, the two brothers hold about 120000 bitcoins< maybe you don't think it's worth much, but note that the starting price of bitcoin for these two people is less than $10 / bitcoin
Please note that entities are used instead of people. In the analysis method of this paper, bitcoin wallets that may belong to the same owner are divided into the same entity, which may be not only a person, but also a trading organization like Mt. GOx in addition, through the analysis of the most active entity table given in this paper, the income of the people with the most income (excluding expenses) is less than 700000 BTC. In other words, the person with the most bitcoin will hold no more than 700000 bitcoins. How many people in the world own bitcoins? The paper concludes that as of May 13, 2012, 1.85 million entities hold bitcoin. If we assume that bitcoin users have grown linearly since the advent of bitcoin (January 2009), the current number should be 2.5 million. Because the number of entities is counted on paper, the actual number of bitcoin holders should be a little less than this number, but not much smaller, because after all, there are not many large trading platforms
In addition to the above two problems, [3] also gives many interesting conclusions, such as: < UL >about 55% of bitcoin can be saved without money
in places like GOx mountain, almost all deals are small ones
before May 2012, almost all large single transactions (& gt; 50000 BTC) are subsequent transactions of 90000 BTC on November 8, 2011. There are very strange patterns in this long list of transactions. For example, an entity divides 90000 BTCs into different sizes, sends them back to itself three times, and then sells them on Mt. GOx. 90000 BTCs sold are sent back to the entity through 90 different bitcoin addresses, with 1000 bitcoins per address. These operations indicate that the entity appears to be trying to hide the relationship between these transactions
1) two American brothers, Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, claim to hold about 1% of bitcoin in the world? Now the total amount of bitcoin in the world is about 12 million BTC, that is to say, these two brothers hold about 120000 bitcoins. Maybe you don't think these are too valuable, but note that the starting price of bitcoin for these two people is below $10 / BTC. At the current market price of $430 / BTC, the yield is...... (2) Li Xiaolai claims that he is the first person in China to hold bitcoin, holding six digit bitcoin (no video link found.)
3) after the founder of the silk road was arrested, his 140000 bitcoin was seized by the FBI [2]
therefore, the people who have the most bitcoin should hold more than 1% of the world's total. This can be seen from the daily BTC holdings list
more systematic research comes from academia. The Israeli mathematician ADI Shamir (if the name is unfamiliar, he is the s in RSA algorithm) published a paper "quantitative analysis of the full bitcoin
transaction graph" in 2012, which analyzed the transaction records of the first 18000 blocks in the special currency system (as of May 13, 2012), This paper studies some interesting problems in bitcoin market
in their analysis results, at the end of the first 18000 blocks of chain, the entities with the most bitcoin holdings range from 200000 to 400000 BTC (the article does not give specific figures), and only one entity with more than 200000 bitcoin holdings. In history, the largest amount of money held was more than 500000 BTC, with two entities
note that "entity" is used instead of "person". In the analysis method of this paper, bitcoin wallets that may belong to the same owner are classified as the same entity. This entity may not only be a person, but also be a trading organization such as Mt. GOx
in addition, by analyzing the table of the most active entities given in the article, the income of the people with the most income (excluding expenses) is below 700000 BTC. In other words, the person who owns the most bitcoin will not hold more than 700000 BTC
with the development of information technology, the form of money is also changing. Bitcoin is being promoted as an electronic currency, but it has not been recognized by the regulatory authorities. At the first big data financial forum held recently, Sheng Songcheng, director of the investigation and Statistics Department of the central bank, said that only the central bank's digital currency can have the support of national credit and become a real currency.
it has a certain "ability to pay" and a certain price
on the one hand, the concept of blockchain is sought after and hyped by speculative capital; On the other hand, in the black market and money laundering field all over the world, bitcoin is difficult to be tracked by law enforcement agencies because of its decentralized nature, and its limited payment capacity mainly comes from this.
a block is a collection of many transaction data, which is marked with time stamp and the unique mark of the previous block. Effective blocks will be added to the main blockchain after being recognized by the whole network. Blockchain is a data structure in which blocks containing transaction information are orderly linked from back to front. In the virtual money market, the most well-known application of block chain technology is bitcoin< At 3:00 p.m. on September 4, 2017, the people's Bank of China and other seven departments jointly issued the notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, which defined ICO as "an unauthorized illegal public financing behavior". At the same time, the regulatory authorities said that all kinds of token issuance financing activities should be stopped immediately, Organizations and indivials that have completed the financing of token issuance shall make arrangements such as refund. A vice president said, "it is normal that the rapid development of ICO has attracted the attention of regulators. According to the traditional law, ICO has the suspicion of crowdfunding and capital raising, and there is a great risk of laissez faire development without supervision. A large number of projects with no future even cheat themselves, which not only makes investors bear huge risks, but also makes the real blockchain entrepreneurial team complain a lot, which actually leads to the bad consequences of bad money driving out good money. The admission of a large number of retail investors and even "aunts" is just a weather vane - it's time for the regulatory intervention of ICO. This rectification is mainly to warn of risks and protect the interests of investors. "
ICO does not issue stocks, but digital currency, which is commonly known as token. Blockchain start-ups exchange bitcoin, Ethernet and other digital currencies in the form of crowdfunding to achieve the purpose of financing and entrepreneurship. Blockchain investors and entrepreneurs are very optimistic about blockchain technology, and think that the vigorous supervision of the government departments is good for the blockchain instry. Through the governance of ICO and the expulsion of digital coins, the blockchain can develop more steadily. It is hoped that this regulation can really crack down on pyramid selling currency and air currency, screen and treat seriously entrepreneurial blockchain innovation projects differently, and protect the interests of serious investors and entrepreneurs
blockchain technology can play its role in banking, mobile payment and other fields.
second question
the price of bitcoin depends on the buying and selling market - how many people want to buy and how many people want to sell. Prices are going down because we are starting to be able to use bitcoin more and more easily to buy things instead of holding and speculating. The price of bitcoin will continue to decline until an important part of bitcoin economy is closed-loop, so that bitcoin can stay in the loop forever and not go out (converted to legal currency, etc.).
Some people say that bitcoin is a star investment in the future. Bitcoin's value has increased many times since it came into being. At least the value marked in the market is very high now, but it has a problem of buyers and sellers. No matter how high the price target is, enough people have to buy it to realize it{ RRRRR}
this kind of network currency has no real value, so it has certain market price fluctuation and great investment risk. If we don't fully understand the relevant professional knowledge, we still don't recommend investing in the relevant virtual currency, buying stocks and investing in the science and technology innovation board are less risky than this thing, If not, you can choose a stable monetary fund
