I am a nobleman in England

Chapter 196: Gently Pushing the Wheel of History

Bitcoin is a virtual currency with a limited amount, but it can be used to cash out: it can be exchanged for the currencies of most countries.You can use Bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats, and equipment in online games. As long as someone accepts it, you can use Bitcoin to buy items in real life.

Of course, as far as the current Bitcoin is concerned, the foundation of everything lies in'as long as someone accepts it', it has monetary value!

In the study, Arthur, who was holding black tea, narrowed his eyes, staring at the computer screen in front of him as if he was frozen. On the screen is the page of the Bitcoin forum of the P2Pfoundation website. 5050 BTC were sold at a price of $5.02!

The person who issued the first transaction between Bitcoin and legal currency was the developer Marti Malmi from Finland.

After seeing this high-profile post, Arthur was very surprised and shocked. Even if he hadn't mixed Bitcoin in his previous life, he had learned about Bitcoin’s epoch-making event and exchanged it for a pizza coupon worth $25. 10,000 bitcoins, this is the first transaction in bitcoin history, and this day was determined by the bitcoin community as pizza ri.

But what is the situation now?

Seeing this post which had been hung up for several days and no one had taken the order, Arthur could not help taking a deep breath, squinting his eyes, pondering for a moment, and finally made up his mind that he was ready to do something and make something that can be recorded in history. Major event, published a post without hesitation.

"To commemorate the 13 springs and autumns that accompanied me and my family, and the black Labrador retriever named Dean who passed away last night, I am going to buy 13,000 bitcoins for $13!

contact me if interested......"

After posting the post, Arthur stared at the forum with extremely bright eyes. Sure enough, two minutes later, his post was immediately pinned to the top, and three messages appeared, which contained comfort and excitement for Arthur’s bid to promote the value of Bitcoin.

And Arthur’s mouth is raised. Since a pizza coupon worth $25 can be recorded in history and become a pizza ri, then he led the purchase of 13,000 bitcoins for a real value of $13. The currency circle promoted this transaction as'Dean ri', which was recorded in history.

With the soaring of Bitcoin all the way, the influence expanded, making him the first person in this transaction and Dean to become the world's most famous person and Labrador!

As for whether it will change anything and whether it will cause a butterfly effect, Arthur is not worried, because now Bitcoin is just a "toy" for people in the digital cryptocurrency circle.

Whether it is buying pizza coupons for 10,000 bitcoins or throwing a large amount of bitcoins on the hard drive to the garbage dump, what Arthur is doing now is just letting him dominate an epoch-making moment in the history of bitcoin development.

After all, no one can expect now that a virtual digital "toy" among geeks and liberals can bring more and deeper changes to the world today with the rapid development of the Internet!

As for why, Arthur didn't buy more, mainly because he might be self-defeating if the acquisition was too obvious and too urgent.

What's more, many people are still wondering whether Bitcoin is a great Internet financial experiment that overturns the existing financial system or a Ponzi scheme led by geeks?

You must know that Bitcoin is a virtual object. It is like any object or artwork. The people who rely on the currency generate beautiful expected value for it and continuously inject funds.Therefore, there is a certain basis for many people to regard it as a scam.

Because in the eyes of many people, what makes Bitcoin better than ordinary scams and gambling is that it is a combination of gambling and scams.First is the expected value of gambling, and then cheating the coin receiver to pick up the coin.

Of course, Arthur doesn’t care about this. After all, as the earliest group of people, he only needs to hoard enough Bitcoin in his hand, and then rise to a certain value, and then he can get rid of it. As for who takes over the market, the price will rise or fall later. For him, Is it important?

Just as Arthur thought, his post became the most popular post on the forum, and the digital currency "predecessors" also praised Arthur's acquisition.What "has epoch-making significance", praised Arthur for "great contribution to the world", believed that Bitcoin "has the potential to change the world" and so on.

Ten minutes after he posted the post, he also received the first email, and the other party did not hesitate to punch 13,000 bitcoins into the bitcoin wallet address left by Arthur in the post.

After Bitcoin transaction data is packaged into a "data block" or "block", the transaction is considered preliminary confirmation.

Without hesitation, Arthur opened his wallet with his private key and clicked to download. Soon there were 13,000 bitcoins in his wallet.And Arthur also paid the other party 13 US dollars through mobile banking according to the bank card number given by the other party.

The transaction is officially completed!

If you use the analogy of banknotes, Bitcoin is the serial number of a banknote. Bitcoin transactions are equivalent to knowing the serial number on a certain banknote, which is equivalent to owning the banknote.

Then the screenshot was sent to the computer. Arthur posted the screenshot on the post. The first transaction in Bitcoin history was officially completed.

The entire forum was plunged into a passionate carnival, and Arthur's customized posts also kept generating new messages.

"This is a great moment!"

"Today is'Dean ri'..."

"Bitcoin has a price for the first time!"

......

Arthur looked at those messages, and the smile on his face became brighter. To be honest, it feels really good to be part of Bitcoin's early history.

However, in the future, on this anniversary, I am afraid that people in the currency circle will no longer be able to gather to eat pizza to celebrate. They can only post pictures of LOW dogs together...

Thinking of that picture, Arthur couldn't help laughing.

After the laugh, Arthur took out a mobile hard drive and transferred his bitcoin data packets to the mobile hard drive. This is undoubtedly the safest. You must know that when Bitcoin is developing, hackers are the most Like to'steal Bitcoin' everywhere, he doesn't want to be looted.

Looking at the comments 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 will gradually go crazy because of him!" Arthur lit a victory cigar for himself, leaning on the boss chair, watching the constantly refreshing forum posts.

At this time, the forum has completely become a fanatical community. People are rushing to leave messages to celebrate this historical moment, and the name of Arthur's coin circle name "Earl Dracula" has become the hottest topic.
