Bitcoin is far less famous than BitMessenger, after all, Bit Messenger has been developing for so many years, and the user base is quite extensive, not only used by technicians, but also has a very wide range of uses in other fields, such as finance and business, where a lot of information needs to be kept secret, and even many politicians and agents choose to use Bit Messenger to communicate.

Before, when many people heard about Bitcoin from other people, they often just laughed and persuaded a few words, saying that this kind of thing is a lie, can't be trusted, etc., and then it's over.

They simply don't have the heart to read the principles of Bitcoin, nor do they have the ability to read the technical documentation, after all, not everyone understands technology, they only trust their own judgments and feelings.

Before that, there were similar virtual currencies, all of which failed without exception, and some people were fooled and suffered losses. And now a lot of people are very fanatical about telling them that there is a new virtual currency that is very reliable and has the potential to become the currency of the future, which has to make them wary.

Therefore, after Bitcoin came out, although many supporters strongly recommended it to their relatives and friends, it was always only circulated in technical circles, and few non-technical people recognized it.

However, when the news that the author of Bitcoin and Bitcoin were the same person, it attracted a lot of attention to Bitcoin.

The status of the Bit Messenger is too high, and after so many years of testing, this thing is absolutely reliable and can stand the test. Many people are grateful to the author of Bit Messenger. Thanks to him for contributing such an easy-to-use and free messaging tool, saving them a lot of cost and effort from the danger of information leakage.

As a result, many people began to re-examine Bitcoin and re-understand Bitcoin. And many people simply think that since this virtual currency is the latest work of the author of Bit Messenger, it should not be as simple as they thought before.

This event. This has led to a new group of Bitcoin users joining, most of whom are not techies or miners. They are simply curious about Bitcoin, or out of trust in the authors of the Bit Messenger.

After gaining an in-depth understanding of Bitcoin's features, some people with some financial literacy began to become Bitcoin adherents. They were also amazed by the design of Bitcoin and wanted to see how far this monetary experiment could go.

They don't mine, but they want to own Bitcoin, so they post on a forum that they are willing to buy Bitcoin with real money.

A "trading market" section appeared on the bitcoin forum in time to meet the needs of this part of the people, many people posted in the "trading market" section to buy bitcoin, and then some miners who wanted to sell bitcoin replied that they were willing to sell, and they started the initial bitcoin trading behavior in the forum.

At first, no one knew exactly how much Bitcoin was worth. As a result, miners directly based on their labor time and the electricity cost of mining, and it is not known who first proposed and was approved by the buyer, and finally the price of one bitcoin was set at 0.2 cents, that is, mining a bitcoin "gold bar" is equivalent to earning 10 cents.

During this period, the difficulty of Bitcoin mining was still very small. After deducting the electricity cost consumed when mining, miners still have a profit in the end, so when this market came out, it immediately attracted a large number of early online moneymakers to join the camp of Bitcoin mining.

Bitcoin enthusiasts in this period were very simple, and there were few speculators. They mine and buy Bitcoin, more just to make Bitcoin better development, so that more people can accept Bitcoin and recognize Bitcoin.

There is no need for anyone to vouch for it, and transactions can be completed just by using the forum, without any fraud, and everyone cherishes their credibility on the forum.

When Lin Hong knew about this, he was very happy about it, after all, Bitcoin already has the most primitive value, although it is very cheap, but after all, it has taken a difficult step.

In order to continue to prosper the market, so that the computing power of the main network can continue to increase, and reduce the risk of being attacked, Lin Hong directly called Zhang Jin and asked her to arrange for someone to go to the forum to acquire bitcoin, and how much to collect.

Soon after, a bitcoin enthusiast posted on the forum that he opened a pizzeria in Florida and was willing to accept bitcoin as payment, and according to the current market, the price of a pizza is about 10,000 bitcoins. In the post, he posted the address of his real-life pizzeria.

Soon a programmer in the same area named Laszlo replied to his post that he was willing to buy pizza with Bitcoin.

Although there have been Bitcoin enthusiasts who have offered their own services to earn bitcoins before, this is the first time that they have been used for physical transactions in real life.

This is a milestone, which means that Bitcoin also has purchasing power, it has value, and Bitcoin can buy pizza.

The deal was forever remembered in the history of Bitcoin, and a few years later, Laszlo's 10,000 bitcoins were worth $272,329, making it known as "the most expensive pizza ever."

Laszlo later said in an interview with reporters: "I don't regret it, the pizza is really delicious. ”

As the bitcoin trading sector became more and more lively, a currency trading website was born, and the trading site called "bitcoinmarket" (referred to as bm trading network) seemed to pop up overnight, so it appeared on the network, and then posted a post on the flea board to guide everyone to this website for bitcoin trading.

At first, the BM trading network only supported transactions between the US dollar and bitcoin, and miners could sell the mined bitcoins on it, and those who had purchase needs to deposit and buy on it.

This is a very simple currency trading website, using BM coins as intermediate transaction currency, BM coins and US dollars equivalent, on which to recharge BM coins, you must first contact the webmaster, pay him US dollars, and then he rushed into the corresponding BM coins on the corresponding account, and if you need to withdraw BM coins, you also need to contact the webmaster, send the account to him, the webmaster will send the money back to the account, and then deduct the corresponding BM coins from the website account.

Although the website is simple, it is much more convenient than trading directly on the forum, because everyone can buy in real time on the website at any time according to their needs, if someone is willing to spend $0.22 to buy Bitcoin, he will put this price on the website, and the person who owns Bitcoin, after seeing this pending order, can immediately put the bitcoin in his hand directly according to this price, and the transaction is reached, and they don't even need to communicate with each other.

The two steps of deposit and withdrawal only need to be contacted by them and the webmaster. Although there is a certain amount of handling fee, the handling fee is very low, only one percent, which is acceptable to everyone.

Shortly after the appearance of the BM trading network, Lin Hong released the v0.2 version of the Bitcoin wallet client. Compared with v0.1, this version fixes all the bugs that have been discovered, optimizes the speed of confirming the legitimacy of bitcoin when trading, and more importantly, in this version, provides a series of programming APIs, you can freely program these APIs, and query and trade bitcoins in the wallet at any time.
