Bitcoin: The Future, or World's Greatest Scam?




It took Bitcoin 12 years to become a trillion-dollar network and there is nothing else Bitcoin is worthless artificial gold I must say I bought some and this is my best investment so I am not bullied about Bitcoin and Bitcoin is the best money there is right now because it is decentralized it is impossible to stop the motivation The main thing is that the price will go up they do not use it they do not perform it they just crowd and I hope they get rich and what is your reaction to those people not using bitcoin.


A few months ago I asked what you think about Bitcoin the reactions I got were just as I expected most of them do not understand it, some described it as a scam and others praised it extensively and said it was going to be one of the biggest things of the future or it would make us question exactly what money and currency you see I avoided From looking at Bitcoin for as long as I could.


There are just so many social media profiles with laser eyes, that you can carry before you start asking what exactly is going on here? And the more I tried to answer this question the more intrigued I became by Bitcoin. The ongoing saga becomes for example the fact that he creates a person or group of people under a pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto remains anonymous and unidentified to this day and is said to hold a million bitcoins while creating this blog theoretically making Nakamoto worth over $ 62 billion should the price of a single bitcoin go up To 177,000. Nakamoto would be the richest man in the world if they sold their coins, but Nakamoto is just one part of what makes this ongoing saga such a fascinating truth that it is a wild world there and I think it's time for you and I to finally step into the crypto realm and start understanding it all. . Bitcoin is a story that is a story about the thing that greatly affects our operations today on paper we call money or the numbers you see on a screen in your bank account.


If you go back long enough you will find that our ancestors purchased goods in a method we were not familiar with today the payment first started in a barter trade of a system that includes trade in goods for other goods a few fish in a loaf of bread and a dozen eggs for a bunch of lettuce and so on. We wanted what the other person was relying on a coincidence of desires so our ancestors understood that we needed means of exchange to represent the value of the items they wanted to buy such as cattle shells and eventually coins made of precious metals and then thousands of years later countries began using gold-backed paper money.


In other words, the dollar will be backed by a certain amount of gold, and theoretically, you could convert the dollars into physical gold that a country held in reserves. This system was known as the gold standard in 1971, but the US officially left the gold standard along with many other countries. Backed up on the basis that the government has determined that it has value.


We have all agreed that this allows governments and central banks to have more control over our money supply, making it easier to use monetary policy to respond to periods of this type of financial crisis. The money we use today is no longer backed by gold, but our belief in government is called fiat money. There are now arguments for and against Fiat money, but the important thing to understand here is that this system relies on trust in the government. But what if you do not have that trust in whom you turn and then emerged in the late 1980s the cypherpunks were part of a movement against centralized authorities like governments that could spy on people or gain access to their information they advocated so-called cryptographic ways in which we are able to secure communication in the presence of parties Thirdly usually through encryption with their libertarian views.


The cypherpunks saw a clear contradiction between their values ​​and the current financial system when they looked at banks or central banks they saw centralized institutions in their power to print as much money as possible on their terms we the people trust our banking institutions to be safe place to put our money unmanaged True and eventually Cipranks will collapse not the Lehman Brothers go bankrupt and financial markets from Asia to Europe do everything they can to prevent Monday from turning black into a black one affected by bad mortgage investments. Lehman eight 25,000 workers will be eliminated. The American people can remain safe in the health and resilience of our financial system, the major financial institutions have faltered on the brink of collapse and some have failed. We are in the midst of a severe financial crisis in 2007. and 2008 A global financial crisis developed in a crisis rooted in risky loans from banks to the point that it led to the collapse of one of the largest banks in the United States at a time when the Lehman Brothers may not have been in the shadows then. Of the 2008 financial crisis.


White Paper titled Bitcoin A colleague's electronic cash system began circulating on a mailing list of cryptography A paper written by someone under a fictitious name Satoshi Nakamoto Manifesto This nine-page manifesto was an outline of what Nakamoto described as a mere source. A peer-to-peer version of e-cash that would allow payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution Nakamoto took the technological innovations of former cyberpunk and assembled them into what we now call blockchain technology to put it. Simply Nakamoto set a framework using computer science and mathematics cryptography to create a currency that can be used for transactions without having to rely on a central authority, trust was the problem Bitcoin was set to solve now let's stop for a moment here where things can get a little confusing while reviewing the motives behind Bitcoin.


Now we need to understand what exactly it is and how it is distributed to understand blockchain technology is the key to understanding the zealotry around bitcoin we see today. Bitcoin is not a physical currency is in fact a completely virtual digital currency thinking of simple bitcoin and transactions on an account book. Let me try to explain it to you with the help of this simple and easy illustration, I will try my best to clarify your concepts in a simple way.


Example: Suppose a son pays two bitcoins to Jane and Jane pays two bitcoins to Carroll these transactions are recorded on a ledger and so on and so forth for each transaction that comes after the banks work in a similar way.


The transactions made through a bank account every day using their own system that verifies that the transactions made are indeed valid in other words a bank can make sure that someone who has only a hundred dollars in the account can not spend more than the same bitcoin, however. Designed to be decentralized.


So how can she make sure the transactions made in her ledger are legitimate? How do we know White has at all two bitcoins to send to Jane in the first place is where we introduced the idea of ​​a peer-to-peer system or a distributed ledger that Nakamoto described in his white paper. Instead of a central authority owned by the book of accounts documenting all the bitcoin transactions in the register. Instead, it is distributed among all the computers or nodes in the Bitcoin network and a network that anyone who has a computer can join via download.


This Bitcoin software now whenever a transaction is made in the ledger any computer on the network will try to verify if this transaction is legitimate,


By solving complex algorithms when a consensus is reached in the network and the transaction is valid it will be kept permanently in the book if a single node in the network tries to validate a wrong transaction all the other nodes in the network will reject it. Once a certain amount of transactions have been made on the ledger a new ledger is created that contains a type of code otherwise called hash that connects back to the previous ledger this is why we call it a blockchain that each of these accounts or blocks contains a certain amount of transactions. Public identities are used when making transactions in the Bitcoin blockchain. These people have a public key as well as a private key that appears as a string of random numbers and letters. A private key is used to create a digital signature and a public key is used to verify the signature, without revealing the private key to this verification process. Block transactions known as mining miners are rewarded with a few bitcoins for each block they manage to mine, to incentivize them to continue adding to the blockchain. If someone tries to hack or disqualify a previous blockchain block, they will eventually cancel all the blocks that come after it, and it will be easy to locate and reject it by the network. The bitcoin blockchain allows you to see every single transaction made since the first block without being able to change or modify the records. It is a distributed form of currency that does not rely on trust between the parties for transactions to take place. You will still find the first blockchain in the Bitcoin blockchain today mined by the mysterious Satoshi. Nakamoto in 2009 showed that Nakamoto received a total of 50 Bitcoin as a reward for mining the first block.


Typically known as this block the Genesis Nakamoto block has also set the Bitcoin supply limit at about 21 million within the software code itself as of today there are only two million. On the bitcoins left for my mine right, all of this can seem very confusing at first, and very difficult to explain all within one blog. Like I'm trying to do now. However, there are many other resources you use to learn the bitcoin and technology one of which is SKILLSHARE which helps in this blog if you have not heard of them SKILLSHARE is an online community with amazing classes right now SKILLSHARE has de-misting.

One question still remains how bitcoin got to the price it is today can digital currency with really brilliant technology be worth more than $ 60,000 price is a matter of demand, so how did demand ever get to this point in the first place in early 2009 after the release of their infamous white paper Nakamoto mined the Genesis block that propelled a series of events that would change his future forever, Bitcoin’s early efforts included those from the cyber-punk movement. Others rented bitcoin as a hobby until 2010 Bitcoin was worth almost nothing that would still change soon that year during the month of May, a man named Laszlo Honiats created a post


In a Bitcoin discussion forum that offered to pay 10,000 bitcoin for two large pizzas two days later, Laszlo reported that he had successfully traded his bitcoin in a $ 25 pizza. This was the first transaction recorded in which Bitcoin was used to purchase a tangible item and just as the digital currency made its first big step to be recognized as having my 22nd value was officially called Bitcoin Pizza Day in late 2010. Bitcoin moved to be worth nothing to 39 cents,


The first bitcoin exchange M.GX was established to allow people to trade their bitcoins in regular currencies in 2011 bitcoin reached a price of one dollar and suddenly we started to see the emergence of other cryptocurrencies using the same blockchain technology that bitcoin uses these alternative cryptocurrencies also known as altcoins Solve their problems by making changes to the original Bitcoin, while Bitcoin’s intentions are a digital currency, a cryptocurrency like Ethereum is trying to do something completely different using the blockchain technology that both require their own. Research and testing There are currently thousands of altcoins there, and some are Ponzi or pump and throw programs that do not serve a useful purpose.


However, Bitcoin struggled in its early years of poor reputation and multiple scandals using it in a private system and a public developer allowed for a level of anonymity that made it perfect for offenders and illegal use purposes. Silk Road was a notorious site in the dark. The Internet that dealt in buying and selling illegal materials through which Bitcoin was used for transactions The site itself was a sophisticated effort that proved difficult to crack it Use Bitcoin in the online currency and operate in the so-called deep network That's why the association with black markets like Silk Silk put a stain on its reputation that can still be felt today. Another significant in these years was the collapse of the first and largest stock exchange of M.GX bitcoin which at one point handled up to 70 percent of all bitcoin transactions heard on an online currency exchange called M.GX his website was one of the largest online exchanges for kn cryptocurrency site he owns as bitcoins The site was shut down on Tuesday amid allegations of major thefts and carps India today that it could not explain 850,000 M.GX bitcoin was shut down today surprisingly due to hundreds of millions of pounds what was once one of the largest bitcoin exchanges in the world MGG filed a bankruptcy petition in Japan.


Even in the worst days of Bitcoin the demand still remained with the launch of companies like Bitpay that provided mobile deals to businesses that wanted to get Bitcoin, the speculations around the cryptocurrency reached new highs in 2013 Bitcoin reached 1000 at its peak before plummeting. For hundreds, it was in 2017 however when bitcoin faced the most unreliable year in japan that year literally passed a law that got bitcoin as the legal payment method hype and speculation continue to rise as the headline after the headline reported that bitcoin reached all-time highs in these moments of bubble where suddenly everyone Once you know talks about bitcoin the market is getting greedy and irrational there were companies that just added blockchain to their name and saw their stock prices rise at 394 at the peak of it all in December 2017 lone bitcoin was worth almost 20,000 but as soon as the hype and speculation came it also erupted if you think That dau had a bad day bitcoin was worse, the price is now about seven thousand dollars jaw loss almost 15 percent just checked the members yes 15 in a few days after hitting its bitcoin record began to go down in price that jumped in part,


Because of government failures, since cryptocurrency exchanges were banned in China, the fear of missing out quickly became fear of losing money and the price of cryptocurrencies has plummeted 80 since its peak and made the 2018 cryptocurrency collapse worse than the dot-com collapse i.e. I bought bitcoin when it was twenty thousand dollars and actually put it there Three hundred thousand dollars that 300.


However, despite the crash, the value of Bitcoin remains in the thousands and now only three years after the 2018 Bitcoin crash is worth over 60,000 at the time of blogging. Why what separates a retail investor from an institutional investor for one is money a lot of money it is for this reason that the last institutional interest in Bitcoin. This drives the current craze we see this morning from Paypal, the company's Venmo app will now allow its 70 million customers to buy hold, and sell cryptocurrencies Now the launch will start today and it will be available to all customers in the coming weeks Elon Musk does it again shocking announcement and immediate market response Tesla invested $ 1.5 billion in Bitcoin and Musk will receive Bitcoin as payment and as the US Federal Reserve continues to print money in order to strengthen the economy in the current circumstances the fear of rising inflation grows stronger. As a value store instead, we will dive deeper into this axis during the next part of the series, but it is important to recognize that the institutional interest in Bitcoin was something that was previously lacking Bitcoin should ultimately rely on people's belief in its ability to be a currency or as we see it today. There are those who say that Bitcoin is not worth its current price or those who think its price is largely managed The price of Bitcoin is completely handled by a bunch of people by a lot of ways Yam I think all the damn development is disgusting Former Paypal CEO Bill Harris called the cryptocurrency quote the biggest scam in history and noted that it is a pump and throw program I could worry less about bitcoin transactions to the way it trades Wiretrace which trades in it If you are stupid enough to buy you will pay The price for it one day the next part of the series will come soon as we make clear to the heated debate and speculation around Bitcoin today the link to it will be in the description when it comes out, but I definitely recommend you learn about Bitcoin and blockchain technology yourself especially if you need to invest in it again.
