bitcoin

the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, the open source software was designed and released, and the P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system

bitcoin cash

bitcoin cash is a new version of bitcoin with different configurations launched by a small number of bitcoin developers

bitcoin is an e-money payment system based on the global network
bitcoin is an e-money system based on the global decentralized network system, without the participation of central banks and third-party institutions, with a fixed total amount. Bitcoin has the characteristics of payment system and currency at the same time. Global network nodes are maintaining the bitcoin network all day<

English: bitcoin currency symbol: abbreviation: BTC or XBT

Introction to bitcoin by wiki
different from traditional currency, bitcoin's operation mechanism does not rely on the support or credit guarantee of central bank, government and enterprise, but on the network agreement reached with seed files in the network, which is a decentralized and self-improvement monetary system, Theoretically, it ensures that no one, institution or government can control the total amount of bitcoin or create inflation. Its total amount of money graally increased at the designed rate, and the increase rate graally slowed down, and finally reached the limit of 21 million in 2140<

Introction to bitcoin in network
bitcoin is based on a set of cipher codes and generated by complex algorithms. This rule is not interfered by any indivial or organization and is decentralized; Anyone can download and run the bitcoin client to participate in the proction of bitcoin; Bitcoin uses electronic signature to realize circulation, and checks repeated consumption through P2P distributed network. The generation and consumption of each bitcoin will be recorded through the P2P distributed network and informed to the whole network. There is no possibility of forgery. Bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions to issue, it is generated through a large number of calculations of specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction<

the difference between bitcoin and bitcoin
it should be noted that

in English, the words bitcoin and bitcoin represent two concepts of payment network and monetary unit

bitcoin starting with capital B represents bitcoin network system or bitcoin network protocol, which is a payment system based on decentralized network

you can simply understand bitcoin as a public accounting system built on the Internet and not manipulated by any third party. Bitcoin, which starts with lowercase B, refers to the digital currency (e-money, e-cash, cryptocurrency) built on bitcoin network. Bitcoin is the payment accounting unit built in bitcoin payment system. We call bitcoin the network system that proces bitcoin<

in Chinese, bitcoin and bitcoin are both called bitcoin without distinction in many places

its main features are as follows:
1. Decentralization

bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom< Bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin

3. Exclusive ownership

private key is required to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself

4. Low transaction cost

bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but in the end, a small transaction fee will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution

5. No hidden cost

as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay<

6. Bitcoin is not completely anonymous

it will take some time to protect privacy when using bitcoin. All bitcoin transactions are publicly and permanently stored in the network, which means that anyone can view the balance and transaction records in any bitcoin address. Unless the bitcoin holder discloses personal information ring the transaction, the bitcoin address will not be associated with the real identity of the bitcoin holder. This is why it is recommended that bitcoin holders use multiple bitcoin addresses; In fact, you should create a new address each time to receive bitcoin. This is especially important when using bitcoin in public places, such as on websites. In addition, you can also consider using tools like tor to hide your IP address from being recorded.

7. Bitcoin is still experimental

bitcoin is an experimental new currency in active development. Although its experimentality is diminishing with its increasing usage, remember that bitcoin is a new invention, exploring ideas that have never been tried before, so no one can predict the future of bitcoin.

8. Lightcoin is legal in China, but if you use lightcoin for illegal activities, it is illegal

bitcoin, lightcoin and other virtual cryptocurrencies are defined by the central bank as a kind of special Internet goods in China. Citizens can buy and sell freely at their own risk, which denies their monetary attribute. Central bank governor Zhou Xiaochuan once said that bitcoin is more like a tradable asset, similar to stamps. Since it's a commodity or asset, it's legal. Citizens' property is sacred and inviolable. Bitcoin house also published the full text of the joint notice on bitcoin risk issued by the central bank and other five ministries and commissions in 2013. You can see it from the emotional point of view

most of the major countries in the world also adopt a cold attitude towards bitcoin, because bitcoin may be used for money laundering, drug trading and other illegal activities.

9. Lightcoin itself is not a fraud, but there are a lot of people under the guise of lightcoin to carry out pyramid schemes. At present, lightcoin is second only to bitcoin in popularity and recognition, and has higher recognition in China. In addition to Wright coin, there are Ruitai coin, vitality coin, dog coin, ether coin and other excellent currencies.

10. At present, one view of lightcoin is that it will eventually survive and become an auxiliary currency other than bitcoin. There is a famous slogan on the official website of lightcoin: "bitcoin is gold, lightcoin is silver." Another point of view demonstrates that Leyte coin and other counterfeit coins can not succeed from a logical point of view: if the counterfeit coin succeeds, there will be more counterfeit coins, and the proliferation of counterfeit coins will lead to the collapse of value, and people finally find that bitcoin is the best way to maintain its value; If Shanzhai coin is not successful, there will be no imitators, and the failed Shanzhai coin will eventually disappear. The author tends to think that cryptography currency will eventually become an important member of the world's mainstream currency, and bitcoin is not necessarily the only one, just like the coexistence of US dollar, euro, yen and RMB in real life. There will not be only one kind of cryptocurrency, but there will not be innumerable kinds in the world. In the end, only bitcoin and the other 2-3 counterfeit currencies will survive. In fact, the key to the survival of an open source currency is the public's confidence in it, which comes from its long-term and stable use. In the two years since the invention of Leyte coin, public confidence in it has been graally established. Whether this confidence can be maintained or not, there are still many unstable factors. One of them is that lightcoin is more vulnerable to 51% attacks than bitcoin. Previously, FTC (feather coin), which uses the same algorithm as Wright coin, has been attacked by 51% and led to the collapse of public confidence. In fact, FTC is graally withdrawing from the stage of history. Whether it can resist 51% attacks and survive is a problem that lightcoin must solve. As for whether Leyte can replace bitcoin, we should go a step further: is there a counterfeit coin that can eventually replace bitcoin? The answer is simple: No. In the future, there will probably be a variety of cryptography currencies in the world, but any kind of counterfeit currency can not replace the mainstream position of bitcoin, no matter how excellent its algorithm is compared with bitcoin. We have to admit that bitcoin is not perfect compared with many counterfeit currencies. Its confirmation time is as long as 10 minutes, which is really time-consuming for transactions; 51% attack the sword of Damocles, which is always hanging overhead; From the perspective of environmental protection, the energy consumed by mining is almost wasted. Therefore, many new counterfeit currencies claim that their advantage lies in making up for the defects of bitcoin. But some of the flaws in bitcoin itself are not real. In other words, these defects are deliberately preserved by its inventors after weighing the pros and cons. For example, the 51% attack is rooted in the distributed mining characteristics of bitcoin, a P2P currency. While ripple's XRP currency doesn't need to worry about 51% attacks, and it doesn't need to spend a lot of energy on mining. However, its mode of relying on trust gateway for transaction and centralized currency issuance means that it is very easy to be controlled by government agencies. In addition, even if the design of some counterfeit coins is more ingenious, we should also understand the fact that no matter how excellent the indicators of a proct are, it can not guarantee that it can beat its competitors and achieve success.
