Chapter 234: Searching for Jerks

The quarreling sounds behind me soon died down. It was not because the two people stopped quarreling, but because one of them stood up and left angrily.

Yang Jing shook his head slightly, took out his mobile phone and began to search for relevant information about Bitcoin. As a result, he found that when he traveled to 1980, the price of Bitcoin had skyrocketed to nearly 20,000 US dollars per coin.

This price really made Yang Jing a little stunned.

When he got the Holy Ring, the price of Bitcoin had already exceeded 5,000 US dollars per coin, and Yang Jing regretted it very much at that time. However, after getting the Holy Ring, Yang Jing put most of his thoughts on this magical ring and gradually forgot about Bitcoin.

Now that he saw the price, the idea that just flashed through his mind became even more certain.

Although Bitcoin suddenly plummeted when it reached its highest point, falling from a price of nearly 20,000 US dollars per coin to a minimum of 11,000 US dollars per coin in two or three days, it seems to have rebounded in the past two days. Now that the price is about to reach 16,000 US dollars, Yang Jing is really tempted.

By checking the information, Yang Jing learned that the programmer Hanyecz seven years ago was working as a programmer in an IT company in Jacksonville. As for the person who bought 10,000 bitcoins from Hanyecz on the forum, he was a 19-year-old boy named Jerkes.

Although Jerkes is young, he has been paying attention to Bitcoin since its birth in 2009 and has become a member of major geek forums. In fact, he did not know Hanyecz, who bought the pizza coupon, but they always went in and out of the same chat room and were familiar with each other's IDs. So when Hanyecz proposed to exchange Bitcoin for pizza coupons on the forum, Jerkes decisively took the deal.

However, Jerkes did not keep the 10,000 bitcoins in his hand. According to him, he kept these bitcoins until 2016. When the price of Bitcoin rose to US$400 per coin, he sold the bitcoins in his hand, and the return was still good.

"So, what if I go to Jacksonville now, then travel back to 2011, find Jerkes who is working in the pizza shop, and then spend some money to buy the 10,000 bitcoins from him?" Yang Jing thought, touching his nose, and didn't even have the appetite to eat the steak in front of him.

"Well, if you cash out yourself, it should be possible, right? Bitcoin experienced a roller coaster ride in 2011. At the beginning of that year, the price of Bitcoin was only $0.3 per coin, but on June 8, it reached a high of $31.5, a 105-fold increase in less than half a year. Then in less than a month, Bitcoin plummeted to $11, and less than a month later it fell to $7.8, and then continued to fall back to $4.77. In other words, in 90 days, Bitcoin plummeted 85%!"

“If I were to travel through time now, I would have just caught up with Bitcoin at its lowest point at the end of 2011. Although the price of less than five dollars is very cheap, it is still more than a hundred times higher than the price that Jerkes paid for it at that time. I’m afraid that he won’t be tempted. If it doesn’t work out, at worst we can raise the purchase price a little bit more!”

"Well, there is also the programmer. Although this guy sold 10,000 bitcoins at one time, he also said that he had been mining in the following years. Until 2014, this programmer had mined more than 80,000 bitcoins in total, but he sold them all. So what if I buy some more from him?"

The more he thought about it, the better Yang Jing thought it was. Obviously, buying Bitcoin in 2011 and then selling it back for money was a great "short, flat and fast" project. It only took three or four days to go back and forth, but the profit could be thousands of times!

Thinking of this, Yang Jing hurriedly stuffed the remaining food into his mouth in two bites, then placed a Simpson Grant (fifty US dollars in cash) on the table, and hurriedly left the restaurant.

"Shengjie, if I travel back to 2011 to buy Bitcoin and then come back to sell it, will it trigger the time-space paradox?" Yang Jing asked Shengjie in his heart as he walked. Although this is an excellent "short, flat and fast" project, Yang Jing still needs to pay attention to whether it will trigger the time-space paradox. After all, this transaction requires face-to-face transactions with others.

"It does have some impact, but if you insist on doing it, although it will cause a small-scale space-time paradox, as long as you are willing to consume a certain amount of energy, then there will be no problem for your safety." The Holy Ring was silent for a while before giving a definite answer, which made Yang Jing very excited.

"However, apart from the Bitcoin transaction, it is best for you not to have any more interactions with those two people. Otherwise, it may cause a greater time and space paradox."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Yang Jing said excitedly in his heart.

Isn't it just consuming a certain amount of energy? When we come back and find an old oil well, we can quickly replenish the consumed energy.

Of course, Shengjie also knew Yang Jing's idea. Obviously, Shengjie approved of Yang Jing's plan, so after saying those words, Shengjie fell silent again.

Since the Holy Ring has agreed, Yang Jing has no reason not to go.

Taking out his phone, Yang Jing directly dialed Lin Dan. After the call was connected, Yang Jing could vaguely hear cheers and screams from the other end. It was estimated that Lin Dan was playing in the amusement park with his girlfriend at that time.
