The user does not have the ownership of virtual currency
was first proposed by Nakamoto in 2009. According to Nakamoto's ideas, open source software was designed and released, and P2P network was built on it. Bitcoin is a kind of P2P digital currency. Point to point transmission means a decentralized payment system. 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
compared with fiat money, bitcoin does not have a centralized issuer, but is generated by the calculation of network nodes. Anyone can participate in the manufacture of bitcoin, and it can circulate all over the world. It can be bought and sold on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where they are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin, And in the transaction process, foreigners can not identify the user's identity information
bitcoin is a kind of network virtual currency with limited quantity, but it can be used to cash out: it can be converted into the currency of most countries. You can use bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. As long as someone accepts it, you can also use bitcoin to buy real-life items.
Bitcoin is an Internet virtual asset
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 use the design of cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of money circulation. The decentralized nature and algorithm of P2P can ensure that it is impossible to artificially manipulate the value of bitcoin through mass proction

currency features:
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
[characteristics of bitcoin]
the reason why bitcoin is anonymous is that they are built on a decentralized system. Bitcoin is completely independent, and the outside world cannot shut it down through some kind of core infrastructure
"anonymity" is very useful for those who don't want to associate their name with the goods or services they purchase. What outsiders see is nothing more than the address of your bitcoin wallet and a string of random words and numbers. Besides, there is no information that can identify themselves. For relatively paranoid users, they can also create many new wallets for free.
bitcoin is designed to allow anonymous ownership and use rights. Bitcoin can be stored in personal computers in the form of computer files (wallets) or in third-party hosting services. No matter how it is saved, bitcoin can be sent to anyone on the Internet through its address. The distributed characteristics of P2P and the design of no central management mechanism ensure that no organization can manipulate the value of bitcoin or create inflation. Its main features are as follows:

[bitcoin acquisition method]
first of all, your computer should be installed with the latest version of bitcoin client. After opening the client, all the transaction information data on the network will be automatically downloaded to the local. Depending on the network speed, this process may take several hours. At this time, the account balance is 0. Users can ask friends to send some coins, but a more feasible way is to do mining or merchant acquisition[ 6]

mining as a miner
to be a miner is to proce bitcoin with one's own computer. In the early client, there was the option of mining, but it has been cancelled. The reason is very simple. With more and more people participating in mining, it may take several years for one to dig 50 coins, So miners generally organize into miners' guild, and they dig together. Specific mining methods, you can go online search. This method is already very unrealistic
< UL >as a businessman, you can buy coins g by miners with money, open an online shop to sell things and collect bitcoin, and even go to the exchange to speculate in coins. There are many websites providing bitcoin exchange services, which can be converted into almost any kind of currency. If you really don't know how to exchange, you can also come to laoan for help
the difficulty of bitcoin mining is directly proportional to the amount of money that has been mined. The more difficult it is to mine, the more difficult it will be. After 20 million bitcoins are mined out in 2030, the remaining 1 million bitcoins will probably take decades to be mined out. And bitcoin has no central issuing authority, which is generated by network nodes through complex calculations. Anyone can run bitcoin software on a computer to make it. During circulation, enter the quantity 1 on the client software, then come to the other party's bitcoin address and sign with the payer's password. After that, the bitcoin is the other party's

new transactions need to be included in a block with mathematical workload proof before they can be confirmed. This kind of proof is hard to generate because it can only be generated by trying billions of calculations per second. Miners need to run these calculations before their blocks are accepted and rewarded. As more people start mining, the difficulty of finding effective blocks will be automatically increased by the network to ensure that the average time to find a block remains at 10 minutes. Therefore, the competition for mining is very fierce, and no indivial miner can control the content contained in the block chain
workload proof is also designed to rely on previous blocks, which forces the time sequence of block chain. This design makes it extremely difficult to cancel previous transactions, because the workload proof of all subsequent blocks needs to be recalculated. When two blocks are found at the same time, the miner will process the first block received, and once the next block is found, it will be transferred to the longest block chain. This ensures that the mining process maintains a global consistency based on processing capacity
bitcoin miners can neither increase their rewards by cheating, nor deal with the fraulent transactions that destroy the bitcoin network, because all bitcoin nodes will reject the blocks containing invalid data that violate the bitcoin protocol rules. Therefore, even if not all bitcoin miners can be trusted, the bitcoin network is still secure.
the value of virtual currency is that it is based on blockchain technology, has high security, and is suitable for being a decentralized currency after a period of depression, the price of bitcoin has recovered again recently, standing at the price of US $40000, which is the biggest rebound in the price of bitcoin since this month. In fact, since last year, the bitcoin market has ushered in a wave of rising prices. Some analysts say that the main driving force for the rise is that large financial institutions begin to enter the market and take bitcoin as a part of their asset allocation. Some well-known investment companies and fund companies, and even conservative insurance companies regard bitcoin as one of the investment options
