Virtual currency of human nature
Some virtual currencies are illegal in China. Chinese laws prohibit virtual currencies. The only legal currency in China is RMB. Since the people's Republic of China issued RMB, it has lasted 71 years. With the development of economic construction and the needs of people's life, it has graally improved and improved. So far, it has issued five sets of RMB, forming a multi variety and multi series monetary system of paper money and metal money, ordinary commemorative money and precious metal commemorative money
except for 1,2,5 fen coins, the first, second and third sets of RMB have been withdrawn from circulation, and the fourth set of RMB has been suspended from circulation since May 1, 2018 (except 1 jiao, 5 jiao notes and 5 jiao, 1 yuan coins). The current circulation of RMB is mainly the fifth set of RMB issued in 1999
< H2 > extended information
the people's Bank of China is scheled to issue the fifth set of RMB 50 yuan, 20 yuan, 10 yuan, 1 yuan banknotes and 1 yuan, 5 jiao, 1 jiao coins of the 2019 edition from August 30, 2019. The fifth set of RMB inherits the traditional experience of China's printing technology and draws lessons from the advanced technology of foreign banknote design, which has greatly improved its anti-counterfeiting performance and currency processing modernization
Chairman Mao Zedong's head portrait in the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China is used on the front of each denomination currency, the famous Chinese flower pattern is used on the bottom, and the main scenery pattern on the back fully shows China's long history and magnificent mountains and rivers, and carries forward China's great national culture by selecting representative patterns with national characteristics
this is also a distributed (decentralized) digital currency. Unlike the sha256 mining algorithm used by bitcoin, LTC adopts scrypt algorithm. Scrypt algorithm uses sha256 as its subroutine, and scrypt itself needs a lot of memory. Each hash is used as the seed of the input, and then it needs a lot of memory to store another pseudo-random sequence to generate the pseudo-random points of the sequence and output the hash value. In the mining of BTC (bitcoin), it is not enough to rely on simple graphics card mining (it takes about ten to dozens of days to dig a BTC with general configuration graphics card). The emergence of various expensive mining machines has raised the threshold for ordinary people to get BTC through mining, while LTC has certain advantages in using PC graphics card mining This passage comes from Zhihu.)
compared with BTC, litecain has made a little improvement in technology. If BTC is gold now, LTC is silver for the time being
the biggest advantage of litecoin is that it can confirm the authenticity faster. The virtual currency is designed and maintained by Charles Lee. Bitcoin transactions need to be verified, and the average verification time is more than 10 minutes. Most transaction websites need 1 hour to verify. The average transaction confirmation time of liteoin is 2.5 minutes. Developers claim that shortening the verification time increases the practicability of virtual currency. The bitcoin mining efficiency of customized machine and AMD GPU is the highest, making it almost unprofitable for miners using CPU mining. Litecain's mining excludes GPUs and custom processors, so it doesn't rely too much on a small number of professional miners
ppcoin
ppcoin (PPC) was released on August 19, 2012, which has improved the original technology of BTC. Use proof of make and add the concept of coin age
ppcoin is a bifurcated project of bitcoin, which aims to achieve energy efficiency and maintain the best performance of the original bitcoin as far as possible. The unit price of ppcoin is US $0.22 and the total currency value is US $4 million
ppcoin does not have a fixed upper limit of money supply, but it does not mean that ppcoin has obvious inflation compared with bitcoin. Bitcoin can be compared to gold. The annual inflation rate of gold is about 1-3%. Although gold has no known upper limit of money supply, we still know that it is a reliable scarce commodity
ppcoin has two types of casting: work certificate and equity certificate. The coinage rate of working proof is affected by Moore's law, which depends on the doubling of our working proof ability. What we all know is that Moore's law will eventually come to an end. By then, the ppcoin of inflation may be close to the gold level. The annual maximum inflation rate of certificate of equity is 1%. At the same time, ppcoin's transaction costs were destroyed to fight inflation. So on the whole, the coin design of ppcoin is still a very low inflation design in the future, which can be comparable with bitcoin<
ppcoin's reward is similar to lottery, which will determine the winning probability according to the number of ppcoin held by miners. Sunny king, one of the founders, said that their design is based on a new concept of long-term energy efficiency
terracoin
terracoin (TRC) was released on October 26, 2012, with a total currency of 42 million. The speed of each block is 2 minutes, slightly faster than LTC. There is not much special in technology, similar to the proction of BTC halved every four years
however, the operation team seems to have a strong business background and may be better than other bitcoins in circulation. The development of virtual currency is getting more and more attention. Now some teams with business background will accelerate the development of virtual currency
namecoin
namecoin is a distributed domain name system based on bitcoin technology. Its principle is the same as bitcoin. The first release date of this open source software is April 18, 2011
namecoin is generated from an original block which is different from bitcoin's main trading block. It uses a new blockchain, which is independent of bitcoin's blockchain. Because it is based on bitcoin, the security, distribution, robustness, encryption and migration of domain names are guaranteed mathematically. You can dig bitcoin and namecoin at the same time
this project was discussed and proposed by bitdns, which is mainly dissatisfied with the defects of DNS. The only top-level domain name of namecoin is. Bit. It costs namecoin to register a. Bit domain name
in addition, Q currency, Shanda currency, starting point currency and various online game currencies are also virtual currencies.
in the form of game fraud, game account theft, etc
the first kind is the big guy who pretends to be confused. They boast about the greatness of virtual currency, in fact, just to sell their own coins, and then make their wealth more and more. This is the same reason that Mimeng's articles incite emotions. It's just to let people read more of her articles to sell advertisements. As for whether it is true or not, who cares
the second kind of people is the media outside the circle. In fact, they don't know anything. The purpose of their blowing together is to bring traffic. It's all for sale. It's just different. They follow together to brag, will have more traffic attention, advertising can be more valuable. If the business is not good, change the vest and continue. That's what we media and finance are doing now. True or false is not so important, the important thing is to bring them income, which is enough
the third kind of person is the leek of coin circle. In fact, they don't have the ability to think independently. They are superstitious in aura. They watch the big guys and the media blow, and then they really believe in it. They also blow,,,, and then they are the ones who take over. It is commonly known as "no brain blowing, no brain blowing". It lacks the ability of independent thinking, and does not carefully analyze things. It is respect to blow first and respect to blow first. Blind, therefore, only then dish's life.
from q-coin and counting roll used to buy props to bitcoin which can be exchanged with us dollar and euro today. It shows that the utilization rate and universality of virtual currency are graally increasing. I think this kind of virtual currency has both advantages and disadvantages. Virtual currency makes up for the deficiency of currency, but it will not replace the real currency
1. Security of virtual currency. The day before yesterday, a bitcoin trading platform headquartered in Japan was favored by many people. However, e to the loss of 750000 bitcoins from customers and 100000 bitcoins of its own, the company had to file for bankruptcy protection. This fully shows that the security of virtual currency is difficult to guarantee
2. The use of money cannot be regulated. The problem is that there is no manager similar to the central bank. Due to the strong anonymity, it is easy to be used for illegal transactions such as speculation and drugs, as well as money laundering. Without the network of financial institutions, it is difficult to grasp their liquidity, which will bring difficulties to taxation
although it has many uncertainties, virtual currency is very effective and reliable to a certain extent
1. The possibility of inflation of virtual currency is small, and it is not affected by policy. Avoiding the influence of the central government on finance, virtual currency can prove the stability of its value because of its limited circulation. It will not raise prices and lower the value of money because of the increase of money supply
2. Strong circulation. People can use bitcoin to trade anywhere in the world where there are networks and computers, which is very convenient
it not only saves time, but also saves a lot of transaction costs
after comparison, I think that the virtual currency will be saturated and will not pose a threat to the real currency. On the one hand, in the backward regions and countries, they rely more on currency, resulting in a gap with the developed regions. On the other hand, with the development of network technology, the security of virtual currency will be more and more difficult to determine. It is also very difficult for people to use a lot of money in the form of virtual currency in huge investment. Especially in a country with traditional culture such as China, people are more confident that they will hand over their property to the financial instry such as banks, rather than in the online world like flowers in the mirror< There is no comparability between bitcoin and stock. Stock is people's profit expectation for a company. For example, a company constantly proces new procts to increase its wealth. People can obtain wealth growth with the company by holding shares of the company. And the stock is an investment proct, without monetary attribute, it is impossible to say how much ICBC stock an iPad is worth. On the contrary, like bitcoin, the stock can be converted into legal currency through the exchange to purchase the iPad. Similarly, in the so-called companies that accept bitcoin payment, all of them are marked with legal currency. They accept bitcoin through a third-party company, and finally receive legal currency from a third-party company
therefore, stock is people's expectation for the future development of a company, and it is an investment proct. There is no comparison with bitcoin, which clamors to become a currency
2. The existence of money lies in circulation and pricing. A thing that has been reced to a speculative tool since its existence, expecting appreciation and redistributing wealth can not become money
3. As cndx God said, bitcoin will have 2.0 in the future, which will be seamlessly connected with 1.0. That's funny. Why should the inventor of 2.0 connect with 1.0? Just as bitcoin does not connect with RMB, it is another opportunity for wealth redistribution
4. The existence of virtual currency can only meet the money laundering needs of a small number of people, so there is a market. For example, if someone wants to launder US $1 million recently, the ratio of bitcoin to legal currency will change, which is also in line with the market rules. Of course, money laundering is risky. If you buy one million dollars of bitcoin, you will hold it forever without losing any money
5. My legal currency is in the bank. If I lose it, I can still get it back with my ID card. Is my bitcoin password gone? Who should I go to
6. The currency expected by cndx will not be lost. At most, it will play in a certain circle just like Q currency
7. This thing is the proct of anarchism. If you want to embody value, you can only do it without government. The distribution of wealth depends on power and blood. For example, if you hold 10000 bitcoins, ZF says not to use them, and you say I'll use them. Bang, you're dead. Oh, bitcoin has appreciated again, because the total amount is less than 10000.
