When it comes to cryptocurrency, many people think of "Bitcoin" first. Bitcoin was born in the shadow of the global financial crisis in 2008. On November 1, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto proposed the concept of Bitcoin, and on January 3, 2009, the first block of Bitcoin was successfully mined and the Genesis Block was born. This moment was destined to be extraordinary. Perhaps Satoshi Nakamoto had already foreseen that the future of Bitcoin would be as dazzling as the starry sky.
The original intention of Bitcoin was to solve the drawbacks of the traditional monetary system. In the banking system, even if you know the bank card password, the bank can freeze your assets. In the world of cryptocurrency, as long as you have the private key, your assets truly belong to you and no one can shake them. This is the core difference between centralization and decentralization.
Let's talk about Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum. When he was a child, Vitalik Buterin was very angry because the attributes of his game characters were changed. In 2013, he came into contact with Bitcoin and was deeply attracted by its decentralized characteristics. He has since devoted himself to the blockchain industry. To some extent, the competition between decentralization and centralization is like the process of human beings pursuing democracy.
Many people think that it is easy to trade cryptocurrencies and that they can start trading by downloading an exchange, but entering the market does not mean that you can easily make money. Many newbies want to make quick money, but end up being fooled by the "masters" of contracts and end up losing everything.
As for whether cryptocurrency is a scam or will collapse, such concerns are actually too negative. Everything has a starting point and an end point. The key is what opportunities you seize in the process. In the bonus period of blockchain, being able to seize opportunities and make money is the most important thing.
It is not illegal to speculate in cryptocurrencies, but the country is cautious about this industry. Many newcomers are afraid of seeing negative news, but only by trying it yourself can you understand the ins and outs. The cryptocurrency circle is not complicated, the key is whether you can maintain the right mentality and strategy.
Since I first came into contact with Bitcoin, I have experienced countless doubts, but this did not affect the fact that Bitcoin has risen from a few cents to tens of thousands of yuan. This shows that an industry is often not optimistic in the early stage, but opportunities are hidden in places that people cannot see. The gap between people lies more in thinking and judgment, rather than the amount of wealth.
Therefore, don't always follow the crowd, but have your own independent thinking and judgment. In the cryptocurrency circle, admitting your own shortcomings and accepting that you are just an ordinary person will make it easier to go far. And those who dare to challenge and face risks can often find their own opportunities.
