extended data
at present, digital currency is more like an investment proct, because it lacks a strong guarantee agency to maintain its price stability, and its role as a value measure has not yet appeared, so it can not be used as a means of payment. As an investment proct, digital currency cannot develop without trading platform, operating company and investment company
digital currency is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the blockchain technology it relies on has been decentralized and can be used in other fields except digital currency, which is one of the reasons why bitcoin is popular; On the other hand, if digital currency is widely used by the public as a kind of currency, it will have a huge impact on the effectiveness of monetary policy, financial infrastructure, financial market and financial stability
Binance exchange, with rapid development, has become one of the top five exchanges in the world in just half a year. Unlike idcm.io, which was the first to support vhkd, binance directly issued its own token BNB and launched the exchange
advantages: large trading volume; Support multiple computers and mobile phones; Multi language support; More currencies: 99 cryptocurrencies such as BTC, ETH, LTC and BNB are supported, 235 paired trading markets are available, and the service charge is low; It's faster to recharge and withdraw money
disadvantage: they have no futures and OTC trading, and only support currency trading, and stopped the service to domestic users some time ago, so domestic users need to choose carefully. At the same time, because binance is an exchange trading platform, it cannot be traded directly with legal currency, so it needs to use other platforms to buy cryptocurrency
it's not very convenient to recharge it to coin an network. In addition, in February and March of this year, binance suffered serious security incidents and hackers' leek cutting attacks, and its security performance was questioned

the process of digital currency trading through the platform is as follows:
(1) investors should first register accounts, and obtain digital currency accounts and US dollar or other foreign exchange accounts

the mode of digital currency trading through operating companies is as follows: take Ruibo coin as an example, Ruibo coin is operated by professional operating company opencoin, ripple protocol was originally designed based on means of payment, and the design idea is based on acquaintance network and trust chain
to use ripple network for remittance or loan, the premise is that in the network, the payee and the payer must be friends (mutual trust relationship is established), or have common friends (trust chain is formed through the transmission of friends), otherwise the trust chain between the user and other users cannot be established, and the transfer cannot be carried out
1. Litecoin is similar to bitcoin, which is also an encrypted digital currency, and its price has risen sharply recently. It is a P2P open source digital currency, which can be regarded as a branch of bitcoin. However, although lightcoin is based on bitcoin protocol, it does not require very high computing power. It can also be mined using ordinary computers. Lightcoin's algorithm comes from the algorithm designed by Dr Colin Percival for tarsnap secure online backup service (backup for Linux and other open source operating systems)
2. Namecoin
namecoin is also based on bitcoin, which is another branch of open source. Namecoin is a distributed DNS protocol -- generally speaking, it can transform the website name (such as ifeng. Com) that can be understood by human into the address that can be understood by machine. As its own DNS, this kind of currency can operate outside the normal Internet, so it can break away from the control of ICANN
the monetary value and domain name of namecoin are stored in the user's blockchain records, limiting the total number to 21 million
3. Peercoin
peercoin is a peer-to-peer variant of bitcoin, which can improve mining efficiency and security, and improve safeguard measures to avoid group mining. Now, group mining has been considered as a potential defect of bitcoin. According to the statistics of emerging currencies by coinmarketcap.com, peercoin currently ranks fourth in the market value of digital currencies
4. Primecoin
primecoin is a cryptocurrency similar to bitcoin, but it uses a completely independent mining algorithm. Bitcoin uses the hashcash algorithm, while prime coin uses the long Cunningham chains to create the value of money - a sequence of prime numbers named after mathematician AJC Cunningham
in the process of bitcoin mining, as the amount of money goes on, the difficulty will increase sharply. But prime is different. Every time a primecoin is mined, the mining difficulty will increase slightly, and the process is much more stable< 5. Feathercoin
based on the design of litecoin, released in April 2013, can adjust the mining difficulty more frequently than litecoin. Feathercoin will be updated frequently, adding new features and improvements to eliminate malicious mining behavior
