The least amount of virtual currency
There are only 21 million bitcoins
"graphics card mining" is a joke. In fact, it is running a specific algorithm to generate bitcoin through a large number of calculations
{rrrrrrr}
extended materials:
the concept of bitcoin was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's idea, the open source software was designed and released, and the P2P network on it was constructed. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system
unlike most currencies, bitcoin does not rely on specific currency institutions. It is generated by a large number of calculations based on specific algorithms. Bitcoin economy uses the distributed database composed of many nodes in the whole P2P network to confirm and record all transactions, and uses the design of cryptography 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. 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 21 million
bitcoin can be cashed and converted into the currency of most countries. Users can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, they can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items
on February 26, 2014, Joe Manchin, a Democratic senator from West Virginia, issued an open letter to a number of regulatory authorities of the US federal government, hoping that the relevant authorities would pay attention to the status quo of bitcoin's encouraging illegal activities and disrupting the financial order, and demanded that actions be taken as soon as possible to completely ban the electronic currency
from 12:00 noon on January 24, 2017, China's three major bitcoin platforms officially began to collect transaction fees
The total number of bitcoins is 21 million
in 2009, when bitcoin was born, block reward was 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

monetary characteristics
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
2. Global circulation: 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 needed 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 a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen 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. Cross platform Mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
One of the most special currencies is undoubtedly bitcoin. The biggest characteristic of bitcoin is that the quantity is limited! Moreover, bitcoin supporters believe that one of the advantages of bitcoin is that the number of bitcoins is fixed{ RRRRR}
although bitcoin is limited, there is no need to worry about the problem of insufficient use, because bitcoin, as an electronic currency, is too easy to be divided. For example, in our real life, 10 yuan banknotes can be changed into 10 pieces of 1 yuan banknotes, and 1 yuan banknotes can be changed into 10 pieces of 1 jiao banknotes. Limited by the real currency, it's hard for you to find 1 Fen banknotes now, let alone tear 1 Fen banknotes into 10 pieces. But bitcoin is different. In the current data structure of bitcoin, the smallest unit is 0.00000001 bitcoin, that is & lt; 1 Cong & quot;, On top of that, there are micro bits (0.000001 bitcoin). If necessary in the future, bitcoin can also consider smaller partition units. Money can be divided into small pieces, which means it's easier to circulate, so bitcoin is limited and no problem
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
according to the notice on preventing the financing risk of token issuance, there is no approved digital currency trading platform in China. According to China's digital currency regulatory framework, investors have the freedom to participate in digital currency transactions at their own risk
warm tips: the above information is for reference only. Before investing, it is recommended that you first understand the risks existing in the project, and understand the investors, investment institutions, chain activity and other information of the project, rather than blindly investing or mistakenly entering the capital market. Investment is risky, so we should be cautious when entering the market

the development of this kind of digital currency depends on the quantity. There are more than 30 million digital currencies. Dogcoin is a typical example. Although dogcoin is the digital currency with the second largest number of users in the world after bitcoin, its recent development momentum is not optimistic. The total number of thousand gold cards is only 3 million, but the development momentum is good.
From the current technology, the next bitcoin in the bitcoin data structure can be divided into 8 decimal places, so the minimum unit of bitcoin is 0.00000001btc, but the transaction can not be so small
according to the statistics of bitbao, at present, the common minimum trading unit of bitcoin trading platform in China is 0.01btc, so the 0.0001 proposed by the owner is not available for sale< br />
in the first four years, 50 pieces were g out every ten minutes: 50 * 6 * 24 * (365 * 4 + 1) = 10519200 pieces
in the second four years, 25 pieces were g out every ten minutes: 25 * 6 * 24 * (365 * 4 + 1) = 5259600 pieces
according to the sum formula of infinite equal ratio sequence, the final total amount is infinitely close to 21038400 pieces (10519200 * 2)
as long as the mining rules are not changed, the number of bitcoins will never exceed 21038400
