Chapter 194 gently pushed the wheels of history
Bitcoin is a virtual currency that is available in limited quantities, but it can be used to cash out: it can be exchanged for the currencies of most countries. You can use bitcoins to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games, and as long as someone accepts them, you can use bitcoins to buy real-life items.
Of course, as far as Bitcoin is concerned, the root of everything is that it has a monetary value as long as someone accepts it!
In the study, Arthur, who was holding black tea, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the computer screen in front of him as if he were frozen, on the screen was the page of the Bitcoin forum of the P2P foundation website, and a post was hanging on the top of it, someone was selling 5050 BTC at a price of $5.02!
The person who sent out the first transaction between bitcoin and fiat currency was Martimalmi, a developer from Finland.
After seeing this high-hanging post, Arthur was very surprised and stunned, even if he had not mixed with Bitcoin in his previous life, but he also learned about it through the news, the epoch-making event of Bitcoin, a pizza coupon worth $25 was exchanged for 10,000 Bitcoin, which was the first transaction in the history of Bitcoin, and this day was determined to be pizza by the Bitcoin community.
But what's going on now?
Looking at this post, which has been hanging for several days and no one has taken orders, Arthur couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he muttered for a moment, and finally made up his mind that he was going to do something, to do something that could go down in history, and he didn't hesitate to publish a post.
"In memory of the 13 years that have been with me and my family, and the black Labrabdole named Dean who passed away last night, I am ready to buy 13,000 bitcoins for $13!
If you are interested, please contact meγγγγγγ β
After posting, Arthur's eyes were extremely bright on the forum, and sure enough, two minutes later, his post was immediately pinned to the top, and three comments appeared, ranging from comfort to excitement for Arthur's bid to drive the value of Bitcoin.
And Arthur is mouth is up, since a $25 pizza coupon can be recorded in history and become a pizza ri, then the real value of $13 to buy 13,000 bitcoins led by him this time will definitely make the currency circle promote this transaction as 'Dean ri', thus going down in history.
As Bitcoin soared all the way, its influence expanded, making him, the first person to trade, and Dean, the most famous person in the world and Labrador!
As for whether it will change anything and whether it will cause a butterfly effect, Arthur is not worried, because the current bitcoin is just a "toy" for people in the digital cryptocurrency circle.
Whether it's buying a pizza coupon for 10,000 bitcoins or throwing a hard drive with a large amount of bitcoin in the garbage dump, what Arthur is doing now is just letting himself lead an epoch-making moment in the history of Bitcoin.
After all, no one could have imagined that a virtual digital "toy" between geek liberals could bring more and deeper changes to the world in today's rapid development of the Internet!
As for why, Arthur didn't make any more acquisitions, mainly because if he bought too obviously and urgently, it might be self-defeating.
What's more, many people are still wondering whether Bitcoin is a great internet financial experiment that upends the existing financial system, or a Ponzi scheme dominated by geeks.
You must know that Bitcoin is a virtual thing, and like any item or artwork, it relies on the person receiving the coin to generate a good expected value for it, and constantly inject funds. So many people have a certain basis for thinking that it is a scam.
Because in the eyes of many people, what makes Bitcoin more clever than ordinary scams and gambling is that it is a combination of gambling and fraud. First, bet on the value expectation, and then deceive the person receiving the coin.
Of course, Arthur doesn't care about this, after all, as the first batch of people, he only needs to hoard enough bitcoins in his hands, and then rise to a certain value, and get rid of it.
As Arthur thought, his post became the most popular post on the forum, and the digital currency "seniors" also praised Arthur's acquisition. What is "epoch-making", praising Arthur's "great contribution to the world", arguing that Bitcoin "has the potential to change the world", and so on.
Ten minutes after his post, he also received his first email, and he did not hesitate to deposit 13,000 bitcoins into the bitcoin wallet address that Arthur left in the post.
Once the transaction data of Bitcoin is packaged into a "block" or "block", the transaction is preliminarily confirmed.
Arthur did not hesitate to open his wallet with his private key and click to download, and soon there were 13,000 bitcoins in his wallet. And Arthur also paid $13 to the other party through mobile banking according to the bank card number given by the other party.
The deal is officially complete!
If you use the banknote as an analogy, Bitcoin is the serial number of the banknote, and the transaction of Bitcoin is equivalent to knowing the serial number on a banknote, which is equivalent to owning the banknote.
Immediately after that, the screenshot was sent to the computer, and Arthur posted the screenshot on the post, and the first transaction in the history of Bitcoin was officially completed.
The whole forum was in a frenzy, and Arthur's posts were constantly generating new comments.
"This is a great moment!"
"Today is 'Dean ri' ... β
"For the first time, Bitcoin has a price!"
γγγγγγ
Arthur looked at the messages, and the smile on his face grew brighter, and to be honest, it was a really good feeling to be a part of Bitcoin's early history.
However, in the future, on today's anniversary, I'm afraid that people in the currency circle will no longer be able to get together to eat pizza to celebrate, so everyone can only post photos of LOW dogs together...
Thinking of that kind of picture, Arthur couldn't help but laugh.
After laughing, Arthur took out a mobile hard drive and transferred his Bitcoin data packet to the mobile hard drive, which is undoubtedly the safest, you know, when Bitcoin is developing, hackers like to 'steal Bitcoin' everywhere, and he doesn't want to be looted.
Seeing that someone left a message on the post suggesting the establishment of a bitcoin trading platform, Arthur knew that his transaction had officially opened the Pandora's box of bitcoin.
"This market is going crazy because of itself!" said Arthur, lighting himself a victory cigar and leaning back in his boss's chair as he watched the refreshing forum posts.
At this time, the forum had completely turned into a frenzied community, with people rushing to leave messages to celebrate this historic moment, and Arthur's name 'Count Dracula' became the hottest topic.
