In fact, from the perspective of the rise of Bitcoin from the dark network, external factors have several key event nodes: the first was from May to June 2011. Bitcoin reached the top after the emergence of the U.S. bond crisis. The second highest value was US$14; the second was in February-March 2013, after the Cyprus crisis, Bitcoin had risen to US$264; the third was the US-held crisis in September-October 2013.
After 2014, Bitcoin's price began to be deeply tied to the price trend of the US dollar. Even BWC Chinese website had boldly speculated in 2017: Americans may be using Bitcoin to rob the wealth of emerging market countries because the United States passed multiple rounds. Quantitative easing policy has put a large amount of dollars into the world. With the withdrawal of quantitative easing from the United States, in the context of the recent weakening of the US dollar, the United States hopes that the US dollar can return to the US market to make up for the liquidity pressure of the US dollar.
In addition to being affected by the dollar's trend on the price of Bitcoin, according to a survey conducted by Bloomberg in 2017, the current Bitcoin market has about 1,000 "whales" (top-level super gamers holding a large number of Bitcoins) controlling 40% of the current Bitcoin market. Bitcoin in circulation, these "whales" constitute a group in the global bitcoin market has the supremacy of control.
In an interview with Bloomberg, digital currency fund managers also admitted that some foundations buy some bitcoins directly from other holders rather than buying them through the open market, so that the purpose is not to affect price fluctuations. "These super players usually like to cooperate with each other. We all know each other who we are. We help each other, share interests, and make money together."
In the process of bitcoin depriving from the value of the dark network, in January 2016, the Dark Road Silk Road store was stopped for technical reasons, and the value of Bitcoin only fluctuates slightly. According to CNBC's data, in October 2017: Bitcoin's digital assets investment fund has rapidly grown to 124.
Along with the financial marketization of Bitcoin, bitcoin prices also started to rise frequently after 2016. In general, Darknet has made bitcoin, and Bitcoin has indirect achievements of darknet, even if the two are separated, the bit The currency is still using the proof of value as the "prosperity" platform of Darknet.
Just because bitcoin is a witness to the evolution of the dark world, we cannot judge its nature with morality. But as it grows, each of us is involved in more or less accomplice in this dark feast. .
Of course, even if we do not have Bitcoin, even if we do not participate, under this distorted rule, Darknet will grow in the same way as a “benefit maximization”, but we choose to see or not.
Bitcoin after the financial marketization did not cease to belong to it, because - Thomas Jefferson, author of the United States "Declaration of Independence" once said:
"If the U.S. people eventually let private banks control the country's currency issuance, then these banks first used inflation and then deflation to deprive the people of their property until one morning when their children woke up they lost. His own homes and lands that his parents had pioneered."
While Bitcoin is being heavily manipulated, Bitcoin has only changed the plunder of a kind of wealth from the Darknet to the financial world. Just faced with this turbulent wealth event, who would only like to be a guest?
