In the dormitory, Fang Junqi finally told the origin of his bitcoin.

"It turned out to be Boss Bee Horse," Deng Shengyun frowned, and asked, "Brother Qi, can you ask a question?"

The latter was disassembling his portable hard drive, intending to remove the hard drive inside and put it into a new router, but when he heard this, he casually asked, "What?"

"Have you sold out of coins?"

After putting down his work, Fang Junqi turned his head to look at him, "What?

"How is it possible?" Brother Yun spread his hands, "A piece is tens of thousands, I can only buy a few percent, and I still don't join in the fun." ”

"Hey, even if you want to buy it, I can't sell it," Fang Junqi also spread his hands, "I don't have a few coins in total, and some time ago, while the market was still good, I was quickly out of stock." ”

At this time, Jin Cheng interjected and said with a smile: "Ha, didn't you just avoid this unfavorable market, and you earned it!"

Hearing this, Deng Shengyun had a different opinion, "Boss, how long have you not paid attention to the price?"

Guo Ming picked up his words, "Bitcoin has long gone back, Brother Qi is actually selling at a loss, if you sell it now, you can make a fifth more money." ”

"Huh?" Jin Cheng's eyes widened suddenly, "How is it possible? The state has ordered a ban on trading, and with such a large piece of the market missing, it can still rise back?"

At the beginning of September, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) and six ministries and commissions jointly issued a document prohibiting the issuance and financing of tokens or virtual currencies, and prohibiting any trading platform from providing fiat currency and token/virtual currency exchange business and other related businesses. As soon as the news came out, the "exchange rate" of a number of virtual currencies (cryptocurrencies) led by Bitcoin fell by 10%, and when several major trading platforms in the mainland issued announcements saying that they should close down business in response to regulatory requirements, it triggered a second wave of strong declines of nearly 30%.

However, just when the Tuba and gamers rushed to tell each other, thinking that a new round of "mining disasters" was coming and "1080 to 1080" was just around the corner, the price of mainstream virtual currencies rose back.

Tualatin is the abbreviation of Tualatin, the name is derived from the CPU core "Tualatin" launched by Intel at the turn of the century, which is known for its strong overclocking ability. There are many DIY enthusiasts here who are keen to do big things with little money, known as "3,000 budget into the map, open an Internet café opposite the school". Although most of the mining cards are due to physical problems, and the performance may not be stable, it still has the value of salvation in the eyes of the Tuba with strong hands-on ability.

Of course, graphics cards can be used to mine Bitcoin, but they are not as efficient as specially designed ASIC chips, which is a "backward solution" that has been eliminated.

Professional Bitcoin mining farms often use custom chips that are specifically optimized for mining algorithms in an effort to reduce procurement and operating costs. However, the special chip also has the disadvantage of quitting trouble, if there is a "mining disaster", the mining graphics card can also change the algorithm to mine other coins, it is really not possible to lose salted fish and sell second-hand to recover some losses, but professional mining machines can only be dismantled and sold parts.

The price of bitcoin has suffered many twists and turns, ups and downs, but it has never plummeted, which is largely related to the increasing number of professional mining machines. The investment in large mines is huge, and if there is a "mining disaster" and its own losses are huge, it is natural that more efforts will be put into the publicity of the city.

Just like the ripple effect of the global stock market, the rise and fall of Bitcoin will naturally affect other virtual currencies. But as long as this banner doesn't really fall down, and it will soon rise back if it falls, I'm afraid it will take a long time for the to see the retired mining card.

"It's really going back," Fang Junqi turned around and nodded, affirming what Deng Shengyun and Guo Ming said.

Jin Cheng exclaimed, "Ahhhhh

After connecting the router and turning on the power, Fang Junqi shook his head with a smile and said honestly: "Others may have some losses, but I won't." I didn't spend money to buy my coins, I earned money by selling them. ”

"Poof!" x3

The other three raised their heads in unison and posed as vomiting three liters of blood, as a response to someone's invisible pretense.

Standing up from the chair, Guo Ming casually picked up a thin book rolled into a cylinder and handed it to someone's mouth as a microphone, "Then do you regret it?"

"I don't regret it," Fang Junqi shook his head decisively, "I don't want to be Newton's second!"

"Newton?" Jin Cheng blinked and interjected, "What do you mean?"

"Hey!" reporter Guo turned his head to look at him, "Boss, haven't you heard of 'Sir Niu who speculates on stocks'?"

At the beginning of the 18th century, the "South Sea Company Stock Bubble" broke out in Britain. The company claimed to have the privilege of trading in the South China Sea, and that it could bring back large quantities of gold and silver by pulling British cashmere to the east coast of South America, which led to a frenzy in 1720. The well-known physicist also held related stocks back then, and he had already made a profit by selling them when the stock price was rising, but when the stock price rose further, the old knight couldn't help but go down again, and as a result, he was trapped and "lost 20,000 pounds".

In the history of mankind, there have been thousands of investors or speculators who have "escaped from the top and failed miserably", but none of them are as famous as Sir Isaac Newton. Whenever something new appeared that seemed to be a bubble, someone would bring the old sir out and quote his cautionary saying: "I can calculate the trajectories of the celestial bodies, but I cannot anticipate the madness of men." ”

"It's over!" Fang Junqi corrected: "The collapse of the South China Sea stock bubble was at the end of 1720, and Newton did not die until 1727, and lived to be 83 years old. He should have failed to 'escape' the top in time when the stock price peaked, and made 20,000 pounds less. ”

Jin Baobao asked again, "What is the escape?"

"As the name suggests, it is to flee before the price apex and get the maximum benefit," Deng Shengyun replied for Brother Qi, "The standard skill of the protagonist of the Rebirth Article." ”

"There is also 100 times leverage without overturning!" Guo Ming added.

Fang Junqi also joined the complaining queue: "The protagonist's aura is so confident." ”

Retracting his right hand that plucked his concave hair, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "We are ordinary people, without the blessing of plane luck, we can only run away when we see a good situation." Otherwise, I am afraid that my heart will fail before I grow old, and I will have money to make and die to spend. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Guo Ming smiled at the guide, "Aren't you very familiar with Atletico Madrid? It shouldn't be difficult to find the big guy to get some inside information, right?"

"Of course there is inside information," Fang Junqi grinned, "The news I know is that he is gradually cleaning up the virtual currency in his hand. Some of them are sold, and some of them are given away. ”

Guo Ming handed out the "book microphone" again: "It is said that Bitcoin is often toggled, is it also related to these coin-holding bigwigs?

"This still needs to be asked? Horses are not fattened without night grass, and they are not human beings if they don't cut leeks!"

Glancing at Brother Yun, who was stealing the conversation, Fang Junqi acquiesced to his statement, "It's almost, the rules of the financial market are that big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimp." Whether it is stocks, bonds, futures, or virtual currencies, the essence is the same. Comprehensively those traditional projects are still staring at the Securities Regulatory Commission, which is somewhat deterrent, but cryptocurrencies are completely free and open, and these people are even more unscrupulous in operation. ”

"Hey, isn't the CSRC doing the same, hasn't it been cashed out by Jabbs for 10 billion and ran away?"

Needless to say, this must have been said by Deng Shengyun again.

Fang Junqi shook his head, "It's okay if the situation is different." At the beginning, Luxe had products and users, and if it developed according to the Internet thinking and backward payment model, it was really possible to create a big ecology. However, something happened later, and Lao Jia suddenly changed his strategy and expanded aggressively, which became the current mess. ”

"Okay, let's not talk about this," he said to everyone, picking up his phone to connect to the new iFi hotspot, "I've set it up here, and the iFi name and password won't change." ”

Guo Ming put down the scroll and picked up the mobile phone as soon as possible, and then he saw that the bee video BPP was automatically opened, and there were new columns on the homepage.

"Hmm, my theater, Shenma Dongdong, I'll go, isn't this Van?"

"Your eyes are so good!" Fang Junqi looked at him a little speechlessly, "I have so many videos in my mobile hard drive, you can see him at a glance, and he is indeed a genius of the base realm." ”

Van is the nickname given to Van Darkholme by Asian "fans", who, like Billy Herrington, is an American gay actor. Due to the exaggerated, curious, and impactful nature of the performance, these clips were discovered as ghost animal material, and were widely disseminated on two-dimensional websites such as NicoNico, bilibili, and 2TC, making the two actors popular "ghost animal stars" and famous for their human body performances.

", you're stirring the foundation!" Guo Ming naturally knew what Van's job was, but he didn't take this pot.

Jin Cheng also saw the new page, but at this time he asked curiously: "Brother Qi, this is the beginning of mining, how much can you earn in a day?"

Fang Junqi was about to speak, but Brother Yun preemptively said: "With the network of the dormitory, you will definitely not be able to make a few cents." ”

The network services sold by operators to enterprise users are often much more expensive than personal services, and the price of commercial servers is also much more expensive than civilian computers with the same performance, and there is a huge price difference. Including bee "swarms", various shared computing and traffic mining products take advantage of this to try to replace professional servers with a large number of private nodes, in order to achieve the purpose of saving enterprise operating costs.

However, it is not easy for operators and server manufacturers to get the wool, although personal services are cheap, their uplink bandwidth, network quality and other indicators are significantly lower than that of enterprise private networks, and the stability, security, and scalability of personal computers are also not as good as commercial servers.

Considering the instability of private nodes, shared computing vendors have to increase redundancy to combat volatility, and at the same time open up the application market at a low price, which will obviously reduce the revenue of participants. The daily income of most bee mining machines is at the level of a few dollars, and the income will be further reduced if it is replaced by places with poor network conditions such as group rental apartments and student dormitories.

In fact, Fang Junqi nodded and admitted: "It's true that I can't make much money." ”

Jin Cheng frowned when he heard this, "Then aren't you a big loss?"

Brother Qi shook his head with a wry smile, pointing to the artificial fish tank on the table, "I can't help it, I have to find a home for my fish!"

"Huh?" the other three all said in disbelief.

"Why did it have anything to do with your fish again?"

Fang Junqi spread his hands, "The central bank cracked down on ICOs, d and 'pet kingdom' used blockchain technology, and the pets in them are essentially virtual currencies, which also belong to the scope of the central bank's announcement." Then they issued an announcement to start rectification, preparing for a revision, and in the future, all pets are prohibited from trading between players, and can only be sold to the official, which seems to be going to become an equipment recycling online game similar to the slag Hui. ”

Jin Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Scum?"

Guo Ming turned his head to look at him, pretending to be surprised: "Boss, don't you usually go online, but you don't know the name of the greedy actor?"

Saying that, he also gestured at wielding the dragon slaying knife, and said in a Hong Kong language: "Da Tie up, I am a scumbag, I will explore the lazy moon, and the new version of the ship that has not been saved in Jiesili." Squeeze to experience three times, and the inside will me, love the elephant festival game. ”

"Poof!" Jin Cheng turned his head to look at him, "What the hell is this?"

"A web game advertisement, super vulgar," Deng Shengyun explained to him, "Boss, you can search for scum Hui on the Internet." ”

Most of these "legendary" series of page games are modified from the code of the old version of the legend, and the development and operation costs are extremely low, in order to attract users, they do not hesitate to invite celebrities to advertise, and at the same time play the slogan of "a wooden knife at the beginning, all the equipment depends on fighting, and the official recycling of paralyzing and slaying dragons" is played. However, real-world players don't have the golden finger of the protagonist of online games, and if they want to play high-end equipment that can be recycled, they first have to spend money to strengthen their characters, and in the end, it is the game company that makes money.

Listening to them introduce the operation mode of this kind of game, Jin Cheng felt different when he looked at the pile of things on Fang Junqi's table, nodded and said: "Your metaphor is quite vivid, playing the banner of equipment item recycling, and selling your equipment at a high price." But bees don't seem to be short of money, so why do they do such a bad thing?"

"Actually, it's okay," Fang Junqi shook his head and said: "The essence of the pet kingdom is a game, even if it is not recycled, there are people who play it, and the promise of recycling is just the icing on the cake." And the official bee game finally gave a buffer time, and you can download the data by yourself within this week and transfer it to the bee blockchain, so I bought this. ”

"Can you trade freely?" Jin Cheng asked in unison.

"No," Fang Junqi shook his head decisively, "If you turn around, you can only use the P-point of the bee colony to buy it, or exchange it for your own pet." And everyone must have real-name authentication, and third-party transactions are strictly prohibited, which can be regarded as self-entertainment. ”

"What about the bee P-point? ”

"Well, now the P-points produced can only be sold to bees, or used to buy bee products and services. There are not many merchants who do P coins, and they have recently quit and changed their careers to speculate on coins, and now there are even fewer people who change their careers to speculate. This is also the reason why they specially released the PoerMachine bee miner, and if they don't come out to make a statement, the rest of the users will have to run out. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Guo Ming shook his head disappreciatively, "The merchant miner runs away, as long as the P point can still buy the mobile phone and membership of the bee, ordinary users will not run." ”
