Chapter 632 The Most Expensive Pizza in History
Bitcoin is far less famous than Bitcoin messenger. After all, Bitcoin messenger has developed for so many years, and the user group is quite extensive. It is not only used by technicians, but also has a very wide range of uses in other fields, such as finance and business. There is a lot of information that needs to be kept confidential in these fields. Even many politicians and agents choose to use bit messengers to communicate.
Before, many people heard about Bitcoin from other people, and they often just smiled and persuaded them to say that this kind of thing was deceptive and could not be trusted, and then it was over.
They are not in the mood to look at the principles of Bitcoin at all, nor do they have the ability to read technical documents. After all, not everyone understands technology. They only believe in their own judgments and feelings.
Before that, there were indeed similar virtual currencies. They all failed without exception, and some people were fooled and suffered losses. Now many people are very enthusiastic about telling them that a new virtual currency has emerged, which is very reliable and has the potential to become a future currency, which has to make them vigilant.
Therefore, after Bitcoin came out, although many supporters tried their best to recommend it to their relatives and friends, it has always been circulating in the technical circle, and few are recognized by non-technical personnel.
However, when the news came out that the author of Bitcoin and the author of Bitcoin was the same person, it attracted many people's attention to Bitcoin.
The status of the bit messenger is too high, and after so many years of testing, it has been proved that this thing is absolutely reliable and can stand the test. Many people thank the author of Bit's messenger from the bottom of their hearts. Thank him for contributing such a useful and free information delivery tool, which saves them from the danger of information leakage and saves a lot of cost and energy.
As a result, many people began to re-examine Bitcoin and re-understand Bitcoin. And many people simply think that since this virtual currency is the latest work of the author of Bit messenger, it should not be as simple as they thought before.
This incident. As a result, a group of new Bitcoin users joined, and most of them were not technicians or miners. They are just curious about Bitcoin, or out of the trust of the author of the Bitcoin messenger.
After in-depth understanding of the characteristics of Bitcoin, some people with certain financial knowledge began to become advocates of Bitcoin. They also marveled at the design of Bitcoin and wanted to see how far this currency experiment could go.
They don't mine, but they want to own Bitcoin, so they posted on the forum, expressing their willingness to buy Bitcoin in real currency.
A "trading market" section appeared in time on the Bitcoin forum, which met the needs of these people. Many people posted posts in the "trading market" section to buy Bitcoin, and then some miners who wanted to sell Bitcoin replied that they were willing to sell it. They started the initial Bitcoin transaction in the forum. Behavior.
At the beginning, no one knew how much Bitcoin was worth. So the miners directly calculate the price based on their own labor time and the electricity cost of mining. They don't know who first proposed it and was recognized by the buyer. In the end, the price of a bitcoin is set at 0.2 cents, that is to say, digging out a bitcoin "gold nugget" is equivalent to earning 10 cents.
Bitcoin mining is still very difficult in this period. After deducting the electricity consumed when mining, the miners will eventually make money. Therefore, when this market came out, it immediately attracted a large number of early online money earners to join the Bitcoin mining camp.
Bitcoin enthusiasts in this period are very simple and have few speculators. They mine and buy Bitcoin, more just to make Bitcoin develop better, so that more people can accept Bitcoin and recognize Bitcoin.
Without anyone's guarantee, you can complete the transaction just by using the forum. There is no fraud. Everyone cherishes their credibility on the forum.
When Lin Hong knew about this, he was very happy about it. After all, Bitcoin has the most primitive value. Although it is very cheap, it has taken a difficult step.
In order to continue to prosper the market, so that the computing power of the main network can continue to increase and reduce the risk of being attacked, Lin Hong called Zhang Jin directly and asked her to arrange someone to go to the forum to acquire Bitcoin.
Soon after, a Bitcoin enthusiast on the forum posted that he opened a pizza shop in Florida and was willing to accept Bitcoin for payment. According to the current market, the price of a pizza is about 10,000 Bitcoin. He posted the address of his real pizza shop in the post.
Soon, a programmer named Lasslow in the same area replied in his post, saying that he was willing to use Bitcoin to buy pizza.
Although Bitcoin enthusiasts have provided their own services to earn Bitcoin before, it is the first time that it has been used for physical transactions in real life.
This matter is a milestone, which means that Bitcoin also has purchasing power and value, and Bitcoin can also buy pizza.
This transaction has been recorded in the history of Bitcoin forever. A few years later, Laslo's 10,000 bitcoins have reached a value of $272.29 million, which is known as "the most expensive pizza in history".
Laszlo later said in an interview with reporters, "I don't regret that the pizza is really delicious."
As the Bitcoin trading sector becomes more and more lively, a currency trading website has been applied. This trading website called "... BM Trading Network for short)" seems to have emerged overnight, just appeared on the Internet, and then posted a post on the flea section to guide everyone to this website. Bank of Bitcoin transactions.
At the beginning, BM trading network only supports transactions between US dollars and bitcoins. Miners can sell dug bitcoins on it, while people with purchase needs can recharge and buy on it.
This is a very simple currency trading website. It uses BM coins as the intermediate trading currency. BM coins are equivalent to US dollars. To recharge BM coins on it, you must first contact the webmaster and pay him US dollars, and then he will rush into the corresponding BM coins on the corresponding account, and if you need to withdraw BM coins, You also need to contact the webmaster and send him the account number. After the webmaster sends the money back to the account, he will deduct the corresponding BM coins from the website account.
Although the website is simple, it is much more convenient than trading directly on the forum, because everyone can buy it in real time on the website according to their own needs at any time. If someone is willing to spend 0.22 dollars to buy Bitcoin, he will post this price on the website, and the person who owns Bitcoin will see this After the order, you can immediately hang the bitcoins in your hand directly at this price, and the transaction is concluded, and they don't even need to communicate with each other.
The two steps of recharge and withdrawal, as long as they contact the webmaster. Although it costs a certain handling fee, the handling fee is very low, only 1%, which is acceptable to everyone.
Shortly after the emergence of BM Trading Network, Lin Hong released the V0.2 version of the Bitcoin wallet client. Compared with the V0.1 version, this version fixes all the bugs that have been found and optimizes the speed of confirming the legitimacy of Bitcoin when trading. More importantly, in this version, a number of programming APIs are provided. You can freely program these APIs and compare them in the wallet at any time. Special coins for inquiry, transaction and other operations. ( To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly ticket.
