Ethereum Conference

In the discussion of blockchain, bitcoin and other digital currencies, we often hear the word "bifurcation". So what is bifurcation? What is the effect of bifurcation

blockchain

before talking about bifurcation, popularize a little knowledge of blockchain, so as to help us understand what bifurcation is more easily (if you don't have any concept of blockchain, please read my previous articles, which are all popular words to help you understand what blockchain is)

blockchain, as the name suggests, is a chain composed of blocks. Of course, this kind of chain is just a figurative metaphor. To put it bluntly, data blocks are connected orderly. In bitcoin, the transaction records of bitcoin are stored in the block. The size of the block and the space occupied by the transaction records determine how many transactions can be stored in a block. These transaction records are packaged into blocks, and then the blocks are connected one by one to form a blockchain

soft forking

soft forking refers to that when the new consensus rules are released, nodes that have not been upgraded will proce illegal blocks because they do not know the new consensus rules, resulting in temporary forking. This kind of bifurcation will be graally repaired with the upgrading of nodes

hard fork

hard fork refers to the permanent divergence of the blockchain. After the release of the new consensus rules, some nodes that have not been upgraded cannot verify the blocks proced by the upgraded nodes, and usually hard fork occurs. Therefore, in the field of digital currency, hard bifurcation often leads to the emergence of new currencies. For example, the hard bifurcation of Ethereum led to the emergence of eth

Generally, the excellent digital currencies are mostly imported procts, such as bitcoin, Leyte coin, ether coin and so on. However, the domestic Yuanbao coin, Ruitai coin, bitcoin and the tokens of different crowdfunding projects of European crowdfunding are excellent digital currencies

digital currency (English: digital currency) is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. At present, no central bank of any government has indicated that it will issue digital currency, and digital currency does not have to have a benchmark currency and a central bank

it is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. The early digital currency (digital gold currency) is a form of electronic currency named after the weight of gold. Today's digital currency, such as bitcoin, lightcoin and ppcoin, is an electronic currency created, issued and circulated by check sum cryptography

According to foreign media reports, although the price of bitcoin has dropped sharply this year, the cryptocurrency conference is still a major event

within a few days of the bitcoin conference in New York, there are 20 other conferences held at the same time, and the ticket price of these conferences is also very high. Three years ago, the consensus conference was first held, and only 400 people attended. Now, the conference has become the main feature of blockchain week NYC

before and after the consensus meeting held in May last year, the price of bitcoin soared to about $2000. Of course, this is also the result of the first tokensummit summit and ethereal summit

since then, the price of bitcoin has skyrocketed, successfully attracted the interest of Wall Street, and exceeded $10000 for the first time after the consensis invest meeting held in November. In December, the price of bitcoin peaked at more than $19000. But since then, its price has fallen by more than half

strong speaker lineup

this year's speaker lineup shows that the cryptocurrency instry has taken an important step towards the mainstream direction. Jack Dorsey, co-founder of microblogging site twitter, is e to speak at the consensus conference on Wednesday. Square, his mobile payment company, also launched bitcoin trading this year. Other members of the meeting's expert group include government officials and heads of start-ups

"the consensus conference is very famous. If you give a speech at the conference, it means that you are also very famous." Said Michael oved, co-founder of airswap, the cryptocurrency exchange. He is also the organizer of the fluidity blockchain conference held last Thursday

he said that he deliberately lowered the ticket price of his fluidity conference to $150-250. Because he thinks it's a "good opportunity for us to share what we're studying.". About 700 people attended the fluidity conference, and ticket sales reached about $140000, oweed said

"ironically, the organizers charge a lot, but they never pay the speakers. These speakers are the people who are most concerned about the development of the blockchain community and are most eager to share new developments. " She tweeted on April 28

she will give speeches at ethereal summit and consensus meeting this week“ Neither of these meetings paid me for my speech. " She said. She added, "live online is a great way for the public to watch the content of the conference."

"too many meetings, it's crazy"

all kinds of meetings are very powerful and lively, but we don't know whether they finally help start-ups, especially those with imperfect management

"there are too many meetings now. It's crazy." "In the San Francisco Bay area alone, there's a weekly meeting on blockchain," oweed said. It's easy for us to be distracted by these meetings. "

however, some people are convinced that these meetings will eventually be the catalyst for the recovery of bitcoin prices

"after the previous consensus meetings, the price of bitcoin will rise. This fact strongly supports our view that the price of bitcoin has hit the bottom this year. " "During every meeting, the price of bitcoin goes up 10-70%," Tom Lee, co-founder of fundstrat global research, a market research firm, said in a research briefing on May 7

he added, "considering the significant increase in the number of participants, we believe that the price of all cryptocurrencies will increase similarly."
