My dad's life

Although Father Fang and Mother Fang don’t know what Bitcoin is, they know the Internet. In the past few years, smartphones have become popular. They used to check information and watch videos online. Although they don’t understand the algorithm, what does P2P mean? , But I have a rough idea of ​​what Bitcoin is. I checked the price again and I dropped a beloved. It was an eye-opener, as if it had opened the door to a new world. It turns out that the Internet can still play like this.

In the 2003 Spring Festival Gala, Zhao Benshan performed the skit "Heart Disease". Fan Wei won 3,000 yuan. He was excited, squatted, and drew it. He was finally discharged from the hospital for treatment. He won the prize and won the grand prize of 3 million.So he suffered from heart disease and almost belched.

Although Father Fang and Mother Fang are very capable, they can’t help but feel pounding. 70 million, which sounds like a small amount, but if the Fangyuan salary is 10,000 yuan a month, then he wants to earn To reach 70 million, it will take at least 583 years. If you count your life as 80 years old, it will take you eight lifetimes to earn so much money, but now you can do it in just one month.

Father Fang and Mother Fang leaned on the sofa, stroking their hearts. They felt a little unbearable. The little guy came to help very intimately and exhaled in his little hands. They felt that it was more effective because she fell down every time. It doesn’t hurt to breathe out.

Grandparents were amused by the cute and heart-warming appearance of the little guy, and they felt much better.

Father Fang is the most sensitive as a police officer. After calming down, he asked, "Can this bitcoin be used to buy things directly?"

Fang Yuan shook his head.

Father Fang thought for a while, and said suspiciously: "How do I feel that this is like a scam? It is of the same nature as pyramid schemes and illegal fund-raising." In the late 1980s and early 1990s, illegal fund-raising among the people was rampant, and in recent years Father Fang has personally grasped a lot of various MLM organizations, so he knows a lot about it. To put it bluntly, they are all variants of the Ponzi scheme.

The birth of any currency is given value, but Bitcoin does not. All its value is amplified in a game similar to drumming.

When Mother Fang heard it was a fraud, she became nervous and worried: "Will this break the law, or else you return this bitcoin, we don't want the money." Although the wealth is touching, she still doesn't have her own son. important.

"Mom, it's not illegal. Transactions are allowed on the Internet. Some countries even recognize its existence." Fangyuan knew that Fang's mother was timid and didn't know how to explain it.

"Then what your father said is a fraud. Isn't fraud a crime?" Fang's mother is still worried that other countries are legal, but it doesn't mean that China is legal. The United States is legal to have guns!

Fang Yuan thought for a while, and explained to Fang’s mother in the most popular language: “This Bitcoin is similar to passing flowers on drums, but there is not only one flower. It has 21 million in total, and it is still buried underground. After one person dug up the flowers, they passed them to the second person and asked him for 1 yuan. The second person passed them to the third person and asked for two yuan, and so on, the flowers that were originally worthless became valuable. In terms of value, the market price you just checked is about 70,000 yuan. After inexhaustible transmission and speculation, a market price is finally formed."

"But this flower is not one, so someone went underground to dig another flower, but he couldn't sell it at the initial price of 1 yuan. It must be sold at the market price at that time. So everyone saw that it was making money, so they swarmed up. They all came to dig, and soon the flowers buried in the top layer were dug out. Everyone continued to dig down, but the speed was getting slower and slower. So they hired more people to dig. This is the mining machine. Salaries, that is, electricity bills, as more and more people dig, the deeper they dig, the more difficult it is to dig, and the cost will naturally become higher and higher, and the flowers will become more precious."

"It turns out that there is a cost, so where is your cost, just the computer at home? And this month's electricity bill is not much!" Fang's mother understood it.

"This is where the algorithm I just said is powerful. Others' mining machine is equivalent to a small iron pick, while my algorithm is equivalent to an excavator." Fangyuan said very proudly. He did not dare to say that his excavator was borrowed from someone else. The workers from home came to drive.

Listening to Fang Yuan's explanation, Fang's father and Fang's mother finally knew exactly what Bitcoin was.

"I always feel that this thing is a bit imaginary, you still don't want to do it." Fang's mother is still a little worried.

"What are you afraid of? Anyway, I have no cost. I earn if I dig it, and I don't lose if I dig it."

Father Fang and Mother Fang looked at each other, as if it was really like this, and there was no loss.

"If this is the case, then dig it for a year and a half." Mother Fang figured it out, and immediately decided to pat her thigh.

"..."

"Mom, this bitcoin is equivalent to a big cake. I can dig out some by using an excavator. But if you dig too much, those with iron pickaxes will be unwilling, and accidents will happen. And the later, the output The smaller the number, the longer the time, and the gain is not worth the loss.” This is also the fundamental reason why Fangyuan decided to dig only 1,000 pieces. Compared with the total number, it is not much, but it is a lot for itself.

"You're right, just accept it when you see it. The benefits are too great. Some people will take the risk." Fang's father looked calmer and agreed with Fangyuan's approach.

Lan Caiyi has been listening silently by her side. She knows that what is precious is not the 1,000 bitcoins or the excavator. What is precious is the algorithm mentioned by Fangyuan, which is really valuable.

"Okay, 70 million is actually quite a lot." Mother Fang comforted herself, not that she was greedy, it was mainly because a golden mountain was placed there and moved casually, and no one could bear it, let alone if she had money, Grandpa Fangyuan It will not end in depression.

"You got such a large sum of money, what are you going to do?" Father Fang had calmed down and asked casually.

"What are you doing? What should you do?" Fang Yuan was a little surprised, could it be impossible to fly with money?

"For something worthless, you get such a large sum of money, are you ready to have a happy life at a young age? If that's the case, I would rather you didn't make this money?" Fang's father angrily rebuked.

"What this says is, isn’t it just to make money for a happy life? Otherwise, why do I make money? I am going to get this money. Apart from seeing a doctor for Chen Chao, the first thing is to buy a villa in Luming Mountain. The sea, the spring is blooming, hehe." Fangyuan felt that this plan was perfect.

Fang's father and Fang's mother didn't say anything. This was also grandpa's last wish. Fang Yuan helped him realize it. Why did they stop it?

But Lan Caiyi didn’t know, so she said, “Actually, I don’t think you should rush to buy a villa. You can use this money to build a machine manufacturing plant to produce your robot cleaners. The money should be turned over a dozen or so at least, and it will not be too late to buy a villa at that time."
