Because the holy ring absorbed the natural treasures inside the old oil fields, the unrecoverable oil underwent a series of subtle changes, turning the unrecoverable heavy oil into recoverable light crude oil, and it was high-quality low-sulfur light crude oil, which turned the originally abandoned wells into treasure wells.
Although Yang Jing had just made a huge profit of 4 billion US dollars in 1980, the two time and space had not yet been connected, and Yang Jing could not use the money in this time and space for the time being, so Yang Jing did not mind making more money in this time and space.
"Let's wait until the day after tomorrow. I don't think Xiaolin will have time today because tomorrow is Christmas. However, after today, he will basically have nothing to do." Yang Jing understood what Zhao Meng meant by this. He was referring to the thirteen famous paintings. "Let Xiaolin go with you the day after tomorrow."
Yang Jing nodded.
To be honest, this is Yang Jing's first time to celebrate Christmas in the United States. Compared with Christmas in London, Christmas in San Francisco seems to be more lively. But for Yang Jing, it makes no difference.
Yang Jing spent two years studying in London, and during those two years he spent the Spring Festival in London, so now he has no feelings about the Western Christmas at all.
At noon on Christmas Day, Yang Jing went to a restaurant alone to have a simple Western lunch. The two bodyguards asked Yang Jing to go home for Christmas. Lin Dan was spending Christmas with his American girlfriend. Yang Jing didn't want to be a third wheel, so he had to solve his lunch problem by himself.
In the restaurant, Yang Jin ordered a cheese steak, a dessert and a glass of red wine and enjoyed it alone.
While eating, Yang Jing was attracted by the heated conversation between two people behind him.
"Damn it, Tom, you should have listened to me last week and sold your bitcoins at a price close to 20,000. You didn't listen, and now you regret it, don't you?"
“Shut up, Louis! According to my analysis, I think the price last week has not reached its peak. Although it has plummeted now, looking at the rise and fall of Bitcoin over the years, even if it plummets now, I think the increase next year will be greater than this year and higher than last week’s price!”
"Humph, this is all your imagination! If you had listened to me and sold the fifty or so bitcoins you had at the highest point last week, you would be a millionaire now!"
"Ha, I'm not doing badly now. If I sell it today, I'll still have a net worth of over 700,000."
......
Hearing the two people arguing in low voices, an idea suddenly flashed through Yang Jing's mind.
Damn, I seem to have forgotten about Bitcoin, this awesome thing...
If we talk about what has appeared and increased the most on this planet since the new century, it must be "Bitcoin" as mentioned by the two guys arguing behind me.
This online cryptocurrency was created in August 2009. No one took it seriously at the beginning. However, in the following eight years, this virtual currency, which is not issued by a specific currency issuing agency and is only generated through network calculations, has staged a series of magnificent dramas.
Unlike banknotes, which are not issued by a central bank of a certain country, Bitcoin is a virtual currency that is purely generated by computer networks. To be precise, Bitcoin is a kind of "electronic currency" composed of a series of complex codes generated by computers. New Bitcoins are created through preset programs and are generated by the calculation of network nodes. Anyone can participate in the creation of Bitcoins. Therefore, this currency has a wide circulation.
Of course, in the first two years after the birth of Bitcoin, because it was a new thing and the total amount was not large, it did not attract people's attention. More geeks regarded "mining" Bitcoin as a form of entertainment.
That’s right, the first batch of geeks who obtained Bitcoins figuratively called the process of obtaining Bitcoins “mining” because the characteristics of Bitcoin generation are very similar to the mining in online games.
In fact, when Bitcoin was first born, this currency was not recognized by the world. Except for geeks, normal people had no time to spend a lot of time "mining" online. Therefore, from the day Bitcoin was born until more than half a year later, on May 22, 2010, a programmer named Hanyecz in Florida, USA, used a full 10,000 bitcoins to buy two "Papa John's" pizza coupons, which created the situation of trading this virtual electronic currency and real goods.
To commemorate this initiative, that day, May 22, 2100, is also regarded as "Bitcoin Pizza Day".
On the day of buying the pizza, Hanyec posted on the Bitcoin forum Bitcoin-Talk: "I am willing to spend 10,000 Bitcoins to buy two pizzas, preferably large pizzas, so that I can keep some for tomorrow. You can make the pizza yourself and deliver it to my house or order two pizzas for me from a takeaway company, but I only want to pay with Bitcoin, so that I don't need to place an order or make the pizza myself. It's a bit like breakfast in a hotel. They deliver the food to you and you feel very happy. If you are interested, please contact me and we can talk about the transaction."
His idea was good, and he eventually achieved the goal of using virtual currency like Bitcoin to trade real goods, and inadvertently created a brand new situation. But the programmer probably didn't expect that he thought the 10,000 Bitcoins he mined through "mining" were worth only 0.3 cents each, so he would use 10,000 Bitcoins to exchange for a $30 pizza coupon. But in fact, if he had kept the 10,000 Bitcoins for seven and a half years, then the Bitcoin that he thought was only worth $0.3 per Bitcoin would make him a billionaire in an instant.
