The third half time of Leyte
It was officially born on January 3, 2009
since 2015, the future of bitcoin has become more and more uncertain. On the one hand, bitcoin fell as much as 55.55% against RMB last year; In 2015, bitcoin fell by more than 30% against the RMB in the first half of January alone
bitcoin's "falling" reflects the "self-healing" of its value after "fanaticism" to a certain extent. According to statistics, in 2013, bitcoin rose from 1 ∶ 13.59 to 1 ∶ 731, with an annual increase of 5300%. This speculative driven inflation has affected the virtual currency property on which bitcoin relies
on the one hand, no country has defined it as a legal currency. On the other hand, in 2014, the US dollar rose significantly, and the prices of oil and bulk commodities fell correspondingly. The price trend of bitcoin is the same as that of the latter, becoming part of the asset allocation of some speculators, which highlights that its asset attribute is far greater than the monetary attribute
extended data
Security and credit risk have also become the reasons for the decline of investor confidence. Mt. GOx, once the world's largest bitcoin exchange, claimed in March last year that it had lost all its assets e to hacker attacks. Recently, it was revealed that its lost bitcoin was probably e to internal system manipulation
the regulatory environment of bitcoin is not optimistic, and Russia, Thailand and other countries have begun to implement strict control on it. In addition, the global stock market performed well last year, resulting in the diversion of bitcoin investment funds, and the crazy "mining" activities also rapidly increased the supply of bitcoin, which may lead to a trend of oversupply in the short term, leading to a sharp drop in the price of bitcoin
Litecoin (LTC, currency symbol: 321;) It is a kind of network currency based on "peer-to-peer" technology. It is also an open source software project under MIT / X11 license. It can help users make instant payments to anyone in the world< better use of digital currency trading platform coin exchange
data expansion:
lightcoin is inspired by bitcoin (BTC), and has the same implementation principle in technology. The creation and transfer of lightcoin is based on an open source encryption protocol, and is not managed by any central organization. Lightcoin aims to improve bitcoin. Compared with bitcoin, lightcoin has three significant differences. First, the lightcoin network can process a block every 2.5 minutes (instead of 10 minutes), so it can provide faster transaction confirmation. Second, the lightcoin network is expected to proce 84 million lightcoins, four times the amount of money issued by bitcoin network. Thirdly, the scrypt encryption algorithm first proposed by Colin Percival is used in lightcoin's workload proof algorithm, which makes it easier to mine lightcoin on ordinary computer than bitcoin. Each Leyte is divided into 100000000 smaller units, defined by eight decimal places

other cryptocurrencies are the same. As time goes on, the speed of encryption will slow down until the output is zero. Dog coin, Fuyuan coin and bitcoin are all like this.
Bitcoin network generates a new block every ten minutes. Every time a miner completes a block, he can get a certain amount of bitcoin as a block reward, and the reward will be halved for every 210000 blocks mined. Because the time for mining each block is limited to 10 minutes, at this rate, the period for the reward to be halved is four years, that is to say, the reward for bitcoin blocks is halved every four years
when the bitcoin block reward was halved for the first time, its price rose 25 times from 300 yuan to 7995 yuan; In the second half, the price rose 28 times from 5011 yuan to 140000 yuan. So many people predict that the third halving of bitcoin in May 2020 will lead to a sharp rise in the price of bitcoin, at least 10 times. However, these figures are not so clear. After halving in 2012, bitcoin prices rose for two months, and in 2016, there was almost no immediate response to deflation for a month. This may also be the result of the strategy of "buying rumors and selling news" implemented by some speculators
extended data:
after bitcoin halved, the supply slowed down, and keeping deflation through algorithm has always been a part of bitcoin protocol design. It was set up to ensure the value of bitcoin. By recing block incentives and setting the maximum possible supply of bitcoin at 21 million bitcoins, bitcoin has an anti inflation feature, which runs counter to the tendency of central banks to print money at will. At present, there are about 17.5 million bitcoins in circulation, and less than 3.5 million bitcoins are available for mining. When the next block award halves, bitcoin's annual inflation rate will drop from the current 3.8% to about 1.8%
maintaining deflation through algorithms has always been a part of the design of bitcoin protocol. It was created to guarantee the value of bitcoin. By recing block incentives and keeping the total amount of bitcoin at 21 million bitcoins, bitcoin is endowed with an anti inflation nature, which is different from the tendency of central banks to print money at will. At present, there are about 17.5 million bitcoins in circulation and less than 3.5 million available for mining. The next block award cut in half could rece bitcoin's annual inflation rate from the current 3.8% to about 1.8%. This will be the first time in bitcoin's history that it has fallen below the historical average of about 2% - 3% growth in gold supply
2020 is the third half of bitcoin, and the mining reward of bitcoin will change from 12.5 bitcoins per block to 6.25 bitcoins. In the case of the same currency price, the miners' income will be reced. The inflation rate of the whole network is reced.
the issuance of bitcoin does not depend on indivials or teams, but through a process called "mining". By solving the problem of cryptography, people get the right to create new blocks and get rewards. It can be said that the new bitcoin is proced to reward miners to verify blocks. In the beginning, 50 bitcoins were awarded for each block packed. Nakamoto designed a set of rules. For every 210000 blocks excavated (about four years), the reward will be halved. This is what we call "halving" event
the first half was at the end of 2012, when 50 bitcoins were awarded to the 210000 block, but only 25 bitcoins were awarded to the 210001 block
the second half took place in the middle of 2016, and the reward was halved again, so 12.5 bitcoins were awarded in 420001 block
and so on...
until around 2140, 21 million bitcoins were g up, and then they stopped rewarding
Why do we need this half design? If bitcoin is issued too fast and there is no circulation limit, there will be a large amount of bitcoin in circulation in the market, and it will definitely be greatly devalued. One thing to remember: bitcoin is valuable. First, the number of bitcoins is fixed, that is 21 million; Moreover, through the halving process, inflation in the bitcoin economy can be suppressed
the third halving will take place in May this year. Let's wait and see.
2020 is the first year of digital currency proction rection. Most currencies will achieve the first proction rection this year, while bitcoin will usher in the third proction rection cycle. And the market is generally high on the halving market, it is expected that this year will usher in a wave of bull market, and the logic behind it is very clear. From the perspective of historical experience, this has already formed a more extensive "consensus" in the circle of cryptocurrency
secondly, bitcoin, known as "digital gold", is recognized by more and more funds for its risk aversion, which indirectly pushes up its price. At present, in addition to bitcoin, which has the most influence, BCH, BSV, etc, dash and other currencies are the most concerned. Dozens of counterfeit currencies have chosen to be halved in 2020. Therefore, 2020 is also known as the first year of halving
what is half bitcoin
bitcoin halving means that the reward for procing new blocks is halved about every four years. This means that after halving, the corresponding bitcoin reward for each block proced is only half of the reward before halving. At present, bitcoin has been halved twice, respectively in November 2012 and July 2016. The third half of bitcoin is expected to take place on May 13, 2020. By that time, bitcoin will be halved from 12.5 blocks to 6.25 blocks
half block reward means that it will take longer for all bitcoins to enter circulation, but it also means that mining will proce fewer and fewer new bitcoins. Moreover, e to its limited supply and increased mining difficulty, its scarcity attribute becomes more and more obvious, and scarcity will directly enhance the value. As the saying goes, scarcity is more expensive! For bitcoin, there is no doubt that this is a very big advantage
buying bitcoin in 2020 is better than buying bitcoin ETF fund
3, bitcoin current price 10000x4 = US $40000 (expected price after this year's proction rection)
in this period, the return comparison between holding spot and ETF fund is as follows:
1, buying spot holding, earning three times
2, buying ETF fund, Up to 15 times (intelligent position adjustment + fund compound interest calculation)
there is no doubt that bitcoin ETF launched by bitoffer is the best investment choice
in recent years, people are crazy about bitcoin. How many people can understand the value of bitcoin
to put it bluntly, bitcoin is just a pile of chips on the gambling table. It has no value at all now or in the future. The drop from 20000 to 3000 is the nature of gambling chips
digital currency must be legal in order to have circulation value. Now, with the help of bitcoin, most of the hundreds of "digital coins" created by indivials in China have returned to zero, and a few of them have also been used as MLM coins by outlaws. How many of them lost their money
bitcoin is a modern version of "Dutch tulip". Sooner or later, it will burst
now that our country is carrying out research on digital currency, please pay attention to an attribute repeatedly emphasized by relevant departments - "legal"! This digital coin has nothing to do with the "deceptive coin" in bitcoin
as for bitcoin market? It depends on how the "control panel bosses" draw pictures for you at will.
