Behind the power war of digital currency

1. The higher the reward, the greater the risk. The same is true for digital currency. If there is a rise, there will be a fall
(1) the long-term investment of digital currency is a kind of high-risk investment
digital currency investment is faced with policy uncertainty, technology risk, competition risk and other risks. For example, the policy changes of digital currency supervision in various countries, the possible cracking of consensus mechanism, and the risk of competition and substitution of other decentralization and legal digital currency. These risks determine that digital currency investment is still a high-risk investment in the long run
(2) there are many uncertain factors affecting the short-term investment of digital currency
in the short term, the price of digital currency is affected by more technical, news and fundamental factors that affect short-term supply and demand, and the price fluctuates greatly, with strong uncertainty and unpredictability.

2. 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 a specific currency institution to issue. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses cryptography design to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction. 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
on December 17, 2017, bitcoin reached an all-time high of $19850. On July 27, 2020, bitcoin broke through the $10000 mark again [2]<

from the transaction of things In 2008, the global financial crisis broke out. On November 1 of the same year, a person who called himself Satoshi Nakamoto published the white paper bitcoin: a peer-to-peer e-cash system [6] on the P2P foundation website, stating his new idea of e-money bitcoin came out. On January 3, 2009, bitcoin Genesis block was born
there are three bitcoins in total
compared with legal tender, bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer, but is generated by the calculation of network nodes. Anyone can participate in the manufacture of bitcoin, and it can circulate all over the world. It can be bought and sold on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where they are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or receive bitcoin, And in the transaction process, foreigners can not identify the user's identity information. On January 5, 2009, bitcoin, which is not controlled by the central bank and any financial institutions, was born. Bitcoin is a kind of digital currency, which is composed of a series of complex codes generated by computer. The new bitcoin is made by preset program
whenever bitcoin comes into the view of mainstream media, mainstream media always ask some mainstream economists to analyze bitcoin. Earlier, these analyses always focused on whether bitcoin was a scam. Now the analysis is always focused on whether bitcoin can become the mainstream currency in the future. The focus of the debate is often on the deflationary nature of bitcoin[ 7]
many bitcoin players are attracted by the fact that bitcoin can not be added at will. Contrary to the attitude of bitcoin players, economists have a polarized attitude towards the fixed amount of 21 million bitcoin
Keynesian economists believe that the government should actively regulate the total amount of money, and use the tightness of monetary policy to timely fuel or brake the economy. As a result, they believe that bitcoin's fixed aggregate currency sacrifices its adjustability, and worse still, it will inevitably lead to deflation, thereby harming the overall economy. Austrian economists hold the opposite view. They think that the less the government intervenes in money, the better. The deflation caused by the fixed amount of money is not a big deal, even a sign of social progress
bitcoin network generates new bitcoin through "mining". In essence, the so-called "mining" is to use computers to solve a complex mathematical problem to ensure the consistency of bitcoin network distributed accounting system. Bitcoin network will automatically adjust the difficulty of mathematical problems, so that the whole network will get a qualified answer about every 10 minutes. Then bitcoin network will generate a certain amount of bitcoin as block reward to reward the person who gets the answer[ 6]
in 2009, when bitcoin was born, block rewards were 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25. When the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million[ 3]
bitcoin is a virtual currency with limited quantity, but it can be used to cash out: it can be converted into the currency of most countries. You can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. As long as someone accepts it, you can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items
on February 25, 2014, the opening price of "bitcoin China" was 3562.41 yuan. By 4:40 p.m., the price had dropped to 3185 yuan, down more than 10%. According to the historical market data of the platform, on January 27, 2014, 1 bitcoin could be exchanged for 5032 yuan. This means that in less than a month on the platform, the price of bitcoin has dropped by 36.7%
on September 9 of the same year, the US e-commerce giant eBay announced that Braintree, its payment processing subsidiary, would start accepting bitcoin payments. The company has entered into a partnership with coinbase, a bitcoin trading platform, to begin to accept this relatively new means of payment
although the eBay market trading platform and paypal business do not accept bitcoin payment, Braintree customers such as airbnb, a travel house rental community, and Uber, a car rental service, will be able to start accepting this virtual currency. Braintree, whose main business is to provide payment processing software to enterprises, was acquired by eBay in 2013 for about $800 million
on the evening of January 22, 2017, fire coin, bitcoin China and okcoin announced on their respective official websites that in order to further curb speculation and prevent drastic price fluctuations, all platforms will start to collect transaction service fees from 12:00 noon on January 24, and the service fees will be charged at a fixed rate of 0.2% of the transaction amount, and the active transaction and passive transaction rates are the same[ 8] On May 5, according to the latest data of okcoin, the price of bitcoin has just set a new record, reaching a high of 9222 yuan by the time of publication. From 12:00 noon on January 24, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees. On September 4, the central bank and other seven ministries and commissions announced that China banned virtual currency trading
on December 17 of the same year, bitcoin reached an all-time high of $19850
on November 25, 2018, bitcoin broke the $4000 mark and then stabilized at more than $3000[ 9] On November 19, cryptocurrency resumed its decline, and bitcoin fell to the $5000 mark for the first time since October 2017, e to BCH's hard bifurcations and the regulatory authorities' enhanced scrutiny of the initial token issue (ICO)[ 9] At 4:30 a.m. on November 21, the offer of bitcoin on the coinbase platform fell below $4100, a 13 month low
in April 2019, bitcoin broke the $5000 mark again, reaching a new high in the year[ 10] On May 12, bitcoin broke through $7000 for the first time in nearly eight months[ 11] On May 14, according to the offer of coin market cap, bitcoin stood at $8000, up 14.68% in 24 hours[ 12]
on June 22 of the same year, the price of bitcoin broke through the $10000 mark. Bitcoin prices fluctuated around 10200, rising nearly 7% in 24 hours[ 13] On June 26, the price of bitcoin broke through $12000, a 17 month high since January last year[ 14] In the morning of June 27, the price of bitcoin was close to $14000, reaching a new high of the year[ 15]
on February 10, 2020, bitcoin broke through $10000. According to trading data, bitcoin's price rose more than 3%, breaking the psychological limit of $10000 for the first time since October 26 last year[ 16]
on March 12, according to the data of bitstamp, the cryptocurrency trading platform, the lowest price of bitcoin dropped to US $5731 at 19:44[ 17]
on May 8, bitcoin broke through the $10000 mark, a new high since February[ 18]
from 8:00 a.m. on May 10, the unit price of bitcoin fell by thousands of dollars from $9500 in half an hour, with the lowest price falling below $8200 and the highest price difference exceeding $1400[ 19]
at 6 p.m. on July 26, bitcoin rose rapidly for a short time, reaching a maximum of 10150.15usdt, with a maximum increase of more than 4% within the day. This is the first time since June 2, 2020 that bitcoin has exceeded the $10000 level[ 2]
bitcoin has been "forked" more than 100 times in two years. How about those forked coins now

overseas mining rise: batch construction of us factories, On November 1, 2008, a self styled Satoshi Nakamoto published a bitcoin white paper, bitcoin: a peer-to-peer electronic cash system, on the P2P foundation website, stating his new idea of electronic money bitcoin came out
Wang yuexinyi, Professor of mathematics at Kyoto University, was born on January 3, 2009. Bitcoin uses distributed ledger to get rid of the constraints of third-party institutions, which Nakamoto calls "blockchain". Users are willing to dedicate the computing power of CPU and run a special software to be a "digger", which will form a network to maintain the "regional chain". In the process, they also generate new money. Business is also extended on this network. Computers running this software are scrambling to solve the problem of irreversible code, which contains several business data. The first miner to deal with the problem will get a 50 bitcoin reward, and the relevant trading area will join the chain. As the number of "miners" increases, the difficulty of each puzzle also increases, which keeps the proctivity of bitcoin in each trading area at about 10 minutes
in 2009, Nakamoto designed a digital currency, namely bitcoin. The booming bitcoin market has gone up and down, and the identity of its founder "Nakamoto" has always been a mystery. Rumors about "the father of bitcoin" involve from the US National Security Agency to financial experts, and also give bitcoin a mysterious aura
according to foreign media reports, computer scientist Ted Nelson released a video on the Internet on Sunday, saying that he has determined that the founder of bitcoin is Shinichi Mochizuki, a professor of mathematics at Kyoto University. The founders of bitcoin have always used

3. Not really. Cost alone is not enough. There must be demand
there is still demand, so the price hasn't collapsed yet. Relying on this price, is not behind the so-called cost, but big players are not willing to bear the premium selling. Bitcoin will fall at least to around 5000 this round. It is possible to stabilize (only possible). Even if it is stabilized, it may take a long time.

4. Digital currency is a kind of legal tender, which must be issued by the central bank. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digital currency, which is not a network virtual currency, because it is not limited to virtual space, but is often used for real goods and services transactions, such as bitcoin, Wright coin, bitstock, etc. at present, there are thousands of digital currencies issued around the world

the digital currency launched by the central bank is a national sovereign currency, which is based on the digitalization of RMB. This is a piece of data generated by a complex algorithm, which contains blockchain and encryption technology, making it unique. The payment of Alipay and WeChat is not digital money, but only based on the payment realized by electronic accounts. Compared with the current pattern of "payment transfer collection" with the help of third-party payment, what digital currency needs to achieve is "decentralization", that is, to cancel the transfer link and directly hand over the money from the payer's account to the payee, so as to rece the payment cost in currency circulation

types of digital currency

according to different issuing or consensus mechanisms, it can be divided into four categories:

1, proof of work (POW)

proof of work. The system rewards are obtained through the mining of computing power to complete the issuance and distribution of currency. More work, more gain. Such as bitcoin, lightcoin (LTC)
the advantage is that the mining cost can form a monetary price support to a certain extent, and the disadvantage is that energy consumption and environmental protection are criticized< 2. Proof of stake (POS). Allocate the newly generated currency or interest according to the amount and time of cryptocurrency you hold. Such as dash and Neo
compared with pow, POS is more energy-saving, but it increases the security risk

3. The evolution scheme of delegated proof of stake (dpos)
POS. Similar to the voting mechanism of the board of directors, through the election of representatives to vote and make decisions, n accounting nodes are elected to create, verify, sign and supervise each other. Such as the grapefruit coin (EOS)
the advantage is high efficiency, but the problem is that it presents a semi centralized state

4. POW + POS hybrid mechanism
POW is mainly used to issue currency, and POS is used to maintain the system. For example, PPC

according to the project type, it can also be divided into four categories:

1. Currency category
digital currency issued for the purpose of transfer, payment and value storage. For example, bitcoin, bitcoin cash (BCH), Monroe (XmR), and grin

2. Public chain currency, that is, the digital currency issued by public chain projects, is generally the "fuel" for the application projects to run on the public chain. Such as eth, grapefruit coin, TRX and ont

3. Application token, that is, digital currency issued by decentralized application projects, is equivalent to equity or points. For example, OMG (payment application), GXC (data application), 1st (game application)

4. Platform currency, that is, the digital currency issued by the digital currency exchange, is equivalent to equity, points or fuel. For example, BNB, HT and okb.

5. Do you think digital currency is MLM? In fact, we need to make a concrete analysis of this issue. At present, China has not issued legal digital currency, let alone promotion team. The basic routine of this kind of MLM is that in order to attract investors' investment in the early stage, the money price will be very high, and then the money will be sold intensively, the price will drop sharply, and the investors will lose all their money. What's more, when the money is returned, the platform is closed directly and the organizers lose contact. Then they go to other places to pack new concepts and continue to cheat according to similar deception methods. Compared with other pyramid schemes, digital money pyramid schemes generally have the following characteristics: first, there are real procts - digital money, and they are highly packaged; The second is that participants can get a head pulling reward, and the prize is the digital currency itself; Third, the digital currency will appreciate with the increase of the number of participants in the scam, and the number of participants who can obtain digital currency will also increase, including the lowest level participants will also make profits, but once entering the depreciation period, the bottom level participants will lose all their money. In fact, digital currency and MLM are different concepts and cannot be equated. Whether digital currency is pyramid scheme depends on whether it meets the conditions. Strictly speaking, not all digital currencies are pyramid schemes. Bitcoin, for example, is a digital currency, but not a pyramid scheme. Therefore, we must treat problems differently.

6. 1. Digital currency is abbreviated as digiccy, which is the abbreviation of "digital currency" in English. It is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and cryptocurrency belong to digiccy

2. Digital currency is a kind of unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of specific virtual communities. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as a digital representation of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency. However, because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, or it can be transferred, stored or traded in electronic form

From the stable currency issued by banks, to the stable currency issued by Internet companies, to the present stable currency, all these mean that the future digital legal currency will come to people's vision and officially enter the stage of history, which will be initiated by central banks. Similar to the current public chains with different architectures, the digital currency of central banks will also use different technologies suitable for their national conditions. The digital currency of the central bank will explode in a certain period of time, which will make global trade more convenient, asset transfer will be extremely fast, and even drive the further development and innovation of traditional instries< but will bitcoin, the originator of digital currency, be replaced by central bank digital currency? Here mainly from the following aspects of analysis

3. Payment function and there will be certain restrictions on the payment function of the central bank's digital currency. If the comprehensive liberalization policy is implemented, it means that the exchange of legal currencies between countries is less regulated, so it may also cause large-scale capital loss, Therefore, the payment function of the central bank's digital currency may only be limited to specific regions and countries and cannot be spread out at will, which will also have an impact on its function

because bitcoin is a free digital currency, there are no restrictions on its use. Anyone can use bitcoin for value storage , which also facilitates more people who need money exchange. However, e to the high degree of freedom of bitcoin, the exchange rate between bitcoin and legal currency has certain volatility, As a result, the behavior of currency speculation also occurs. In different periods, legal currency and digital currency have different exchange rates. Therefore, bitcoin can only be used as a payment type digital currency in the short term, and can only be used as an investment proct in the long term. The two attributes of investment and payment are opposite to each other, This will continue for a long time to come

8. The direct reason is human manipulation, because the transaction of digital currency must be carried out by people. At present, the value of digital currency is obviously too high, and the investment demand is bound to account for more
the fundamental reason is the law of value. When you always have too much money but it's useless, why do you take it? It's better to spend it quickly.
