It is January now.
After signing several contracts in his office, Chen Fan looked up at the calendar next to him.
The weather is getting colder, and 2010 is almost over.
Have I forgotten something?
Since being reborn into this world, my memory of my past seems to have deteriorated.
But he always felt like he had forgotten something important.
When I was first reborn, it was one month before the college entrance examination in 2000.
At that time, I was still an 18-year-old student worried about the college entrance examination.
The pressure of the college entrance examination, the idea of starting a business...
right!
At that time, I had just been reborn, and I was lying in bed imagining how I would make money in this life.
He thought of many ways.
Mining, stocks, the Internet...
Now, except for mining, Chen Fan has already thrived in stocks and the Internet.
However, I seem to have forgotten one thing.
Bitcoin!
Yes, it’s Bitcoin.
When I was lying on the bed in my hometown, I once fantasized that if I had a lot of money, I could just go all in on Bitcoin and live a life without worries about food and clothing.
But later, after Chen Fanchuang graduated and gradually built a career on the Internet, he gradually let go of this matter.
If there is no chance, that's fine.
But now the opportunity is here.
Chen Fan is definitely not to be missed.
Pulling out a pen from the pen holder beside him, he took the notepad and turned to a new page. Chen Fan began to record the thoughts in his mind.
He has forgotten the exact time when Bitcoin appeared.
However, Chen Fan knew that the concept of Bitcoin first appeared in 2008, and the network was not launched until 2009.
He had previously learned about the development history of Bitcoin.
I only remember that an anonymous developer, using the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto, published a white paper titled "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System" on a cryptography mailing list. This formally proposed Bitcoin's technical concept and operating framework.
However, it was not until 2009 that Satoshi Nakamoto successfully mined the first block of the Bitcoin network - the Genesis block - on the server and successfully obtained 50 Bitcoins as a system reward.
This event also marked the official launch of Bitcoin.
Chen Fan opened his computer and searched.
10. There isn’t much news about Bitcoin, but some clues can still be found on forums in some countries.
For example, he found that in April this year, the transaction data of the Bitcoin market showed that the unit price of Bitcoin was 0.003 US dollars.
On May 22, programmer László Hanyecz initiated a transaction on the Bitcoin forum, exchanging 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas worth approximately $25-30.
This event, known as "Bitcoin Pizza Day," was not only the first real-world application of Bitcoin but also became an important anchor for its early price. Based on transaction volume, a single Bitcoin was worth approximately $0.0025-0.003 at the time.
In July, a Bitcoin trading platform was launched.
Last month in December, the latest news, the price of Bitcoin stabilized by $0.3.
After reading it, Chen Fan was overjoyed.
No matter how you look at it, now is undoubtedly the best time to enter the Bitcoin market.
You can build a secret factory and get a batch of mining machines specifically for mining.
When the time comes, I will mine a batch of Bitcoins and save them, so that I can have a few in hand.
You should know that the price of Bitcoin reached an all-time high of US$120,000 per coin in August 25th.
According to estimates, the total amount of Bitcoin is only about 21 million, and the founder Satoshi Nakamoto holds the most, more than 1.1 million, with a total value of more than 130 billion US dollars.
Chen Fan doesn't have such big ambitions.
He planned to mine tens of thousands of coins and then stop, keeping a low profile. Even if he left them as an inheritance to his children, it would still be a very good investment.
However, mining must be done quietly and with a trustworthy person in charge.
After turning off the computer, Chen Fan tore off the note paper, folded it up and put it in his pocket.
During the afternoon meeting, Chen Fan also asked, has anyone heard of Bitcoin?
You know what, some of the group's executives have actually heard of this thing.
It’s just that many executives at that time thought this thing was just a joke, just like game currency.
There is no future.
Some executives thought Chen Fan was gossiping, so they also laughed and shared their opinions.
They think this kind of thing is too risky. First, virtual currency on the Internet itself carries risks, and second, it is difficult to define whether it is legal. If it is banned by countries around the world, especially the United States, one day in the future, it will be very risky.
All the efforts before that were in vain.
When Chen Fan heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
It seems that there are still some misunderstandings about Americans.
After all, who would have thought that the Americans would have their own Trump King and Emperor Mei Xizong in the future?
And in a few days, the United States will become the country with the largest holdings of Bitcoin in the world.
Most of the bitcoins in the hands of Americans were obtained for free through confiscation and other means.
After the meeting, Chen Fan left Zhou Wangchao alone and had a small meeting with Guo Wendong.
"Mr. Chen, why are you suddenly interested in this thing?"
Zhou Wangchao asked curiously.
He didn't know much about Bitcoin, but Guo Wendong next to him had read the news online, so he was also a little confused.
"This thing... doesn't have much investment value, right?"
"The value attribute is too low, it feels like a joke."
Chen Fan smiled, "Don't reject new things, you two. When any new industry emerges, those who develop it first are always the first to try it."
Dingdian curled his lips aside.
"It's also possible that the first ones to try it will die first."
Guo Wendong and Zhou Wangchao looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Only Didi dared to talk back to Mr. Chen so bluntly.
Dingdian frowned and looked at Chen Fan.
"Do you really think the group's business is too limited? Do you still want to find something to do for yourself?"
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I'm just asking if I'm interested. Besides, this thing isn't difficult. If I try it out in advance, I might make some money."
Zhou Wang Chao frowned and whispered, "Is this thing currently legal in the country? It seems there's no relevant legal support, right?"
"That's why we have to keep a low profile."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "There are currently no relevant domestic laws regarding this, so I have the opportunity to try it."
"Once the relevant laws are released in the future, there will be no chance to test the waters again."
Dingdian frowned and asked, "Are you really going to do it?"
Chen Fan thought about it and nodded.
"How about this, I won't touch the group's funds, but will invest with my own money."
"Old Zhou, didn't Yunhai City grant us a large plot of land to build a factory?"
"You build me a separate equipment factory next to the factories of Hongfan and Xingfan. I'll get some equipment and we can try it out."
"Just treat it as a casual play."
Ding Dian helpless: "You really have nothing to do."
Zhou Wangchao could only smile bitterly and nodded: "Okay. I'll arrange it."
