How many bitcoins are issued
but they can be divided down, and there's nothing hard to understand. I have 1 yuan in my wallet. I can also say that I have 10 Jiao, 100 Fen, 1000 Li, 10000 milli, 100000 silk, 1000000 Hu, 10000000 micro. No matter what the unit of measurement is, I will neither become richer nor buy more, nor have any impact on the economy.
The concept of 21 million
bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, open source software was designed and released, and P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
bitcoin is not issued in unlimited quantity, which is different from most currencies. Bitcoin does not rely on a specific currency issuer. But according to the specific algorithm, through a large number of calculations. Its circulation is controlled by software algorithms. The total number is 21 million

generation 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 infinite (in fact, bitcoin is finite) solutions that can be obtained from the equations. Every particular solution can solve the equation and is unique[ 10] In the metaphor of RMB, bitcoin is the serial number of RMB. If you know the serial number of a note, you have the note. The process of mining is to constantly seek the special solution of this equation system through a huge amount of calculation. This equation system is 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 distribute a private key and a public key. You need to back up your 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
bitcoin is used for graphics card mining. It used to be OK, but now there is almost no profit from using graphics card mining. Of course, if your electricity is free, it's OK. The graphics card mining you mentioned is the second stage of bitcoin mining. The first stage is mining with CPU, which is an ordinary computer. The second stage is the graphics card mining you mentioned, commonly known as burning graphics card. At present, it has entered the third stage of ASIC mining machine mining stage. In this stage, the computing power is very high, the mining income is very low, and the mining cost is almost close to or even more than the currency price. At present, the profit of large-scale mining mainly depends on the energy consumption of mining machine and the advantage of electricity price.
bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer, but is calculated and generated by network nodes. Anyone can participate in the proction of bitcoin
but bitcoin is not issued in unlimited quantity, and its circulation will be controlled by software algorithms. According to relevant algorithms, the more bitcoins there are, the more difficult it will be to make new ones.
