What do you think about Internet finance and financial Internet?
Due to the complexity and large system of financial institutions, the lack of humanization in decision-making processes and services, the process of financial institutions' networking has been delayed. However, it does not mean that the advantages of financial institutions in networking are not obvious. The awakening of financial institutions will intensify the cruel competition in this field. Finance itself is also a variety of concepts, covering a number of categories, so Internet finance has also emerged in different fields, and it cannot be generalized. Generally speaking, we tend to split it into two parts: the first is credit Internet finance, whose core feature is attached to the credit base, so it has great risk characteristics; The second is non-credit Internet finance, which does not have great risk characteristics. The typical performance is actually in the payment field, as well as the sales field of insurance products or financial products. In fact, the advantages and disadvantages of the Internet coexist. The Internet has greatly changed the operation mode of finance, but it does not change the core characteristics of finance. In the short term, the Essence of the Internet is still a tool. Both financial institutions and non-financial institutions can adopt the Internet to achieve its goal. Its ultimate core point is still financial attributes and financial rules. The current media has exaggerated the significance of Internet finance. To be exact, Internet finance will not be divorced from the existing rules of finance within a few years when Internet technology can be seen temporarily. With the Internet, at least in a longer period of time, it does not mean that the loan can not be repaid, nor does it mean that with the Internet, the overall quality of credit financial assets will be improved. As for the further development of Internet technology, to what extent, temporarily unimaginable, and want to also meaningless. Because maybe the Internet itself will be replaced by something else. The probability of success of non-credit Internet finance is much higher than that of credit Internet finance. The core point is that non-credit Internet finance is easier to be standardized, and standardized products are easier to expand marginal benefits and reduce service costs at the Internet level, so they are more suitable for internetization. In fact, there are successful cases of Internet finance at this level in various countries, which need not be discussed too much. There are also successful cases of securities business, payment business, insurance sales business, and even online sales of financial products. In fact, Internet finance at this level has been a consensus, no matter financial institutions or non-financial institutions are actually trying to realize the network of all kinds of business. Be optimistic about the networking trend of financial institutions. The competition among banks will start brutally in the next few years. Full competition will force financial institutions to constantly differentiate themselves and squeeze the living space of non-financial institutions in Internet finance. However, this does not mean that non-financial institutions will not survive, but the overall pattern will be relatively limited, and there is a greater possibility of the existence of affiliated businesses. However, due to the large scale of the overall market, it will be a blue sea to occupy a smaller market share.

How to mine cryptocurrency: Bitcoin and altcoin
Bitcoin mining By now, you know that in approximately every 10 minutes, new batches of cryptocurrency coins are made, with an individual coin worth $8000+ at current value. Before I proceed with explaining how it works, let me first make you understand how it does not work. Firstly, do not get the wrong idea that cryptocurrency mining involves using equipment to search through the depths of the internet to locate a digital ore that can be mined into Bitcoins. There is no actual ore, and Bitcoins are not about smelting or extracting that ore from the virtual world. It has been called mining because the individuals who get new Bitcoins earn it in small and finite quantities periodically, similar to gold. Thus, the process has been termed as mining, and you are already aware of the halving system of the Bitcoin batch in an interval of every four years. Now, to learn how it works, you should know that all Bitcoin miners are doing is comprehensive bookkeeping. A huge public ledger contains all the records of the transactions carried out in the world of cryptocurrency until the present. Any transaction of Bitcoins between two parties has to be recorded and accredited by the miners in the virtual ledger. It is the miner’s responsibility to monitor that the sender is transacting actual money for mining the Bitcoin. Once the transfer of money is approved, the miners validate it in the ledger. Moreover, to make sure that potential attackers do not hack the ledger, the ledger is encrypted with very complex computations that are almost impossible to hack. This mining service offers Bitcoins. There is always a competition going on amongst miners, who look forward to approving their batch of transactions to complete the computations needed to encrypt the transactions in the public ledger. Every new batch results in a rewarding activity for the miners who completed the transaction. However, the computation process is quite daunting. Specialized equipment with hi-tech processing units are responsible for computing and solving cryptographic problems. It all does seem exhilarating, doesn’t it? After all, the process of mining has generated a robust solution to a tough problem that every digital currency faces, which is double-spending.

My story with cryptocurrency
The first time I remember talking about Bitcoin was around 2011-2012. It's in the news, in this week's stories, as the latest mystery on the digital frontier. However, I myself am not one to explore the digital frontier. My online experience at the time was more of my Facebook newsfeed and Angry Birds. I sure wish I had been ahead of the curve and just got rich, but I haven't.
