"Did you find something interesting?" Wang Yi became interested: "Could it be Bitcoin?"

"Yes, yes." Lin Shu smiled sweetly:

"I heard a senior computer science student mention this thing, and I thought it was interesting. In addition to new computers, I also had an old unused computer at home, so I dug around with it, and I actually dug it out! Hahaha."

Looking at Lin Shu's bright smile, Wang Yi's expression was extremely complicated. How familiar is this scene?

Many people were like this in previous lives. At first they had no idea that Bitcoin would be very valuable in the future, so they dug it out of curiosity.

Just out of curiosity, just digging for fun!

In addition, at the beginning of 2011, Bitcoin was still easy to mine and could be mined with a home computer.

With better performance, a machine can mine one in 20 minutes and 70 in a day!

But at that time, Bitcoins were not worth much either. They cost twenty or thirty cents each, which was one or two dollars each.

It wasn’t until April and May that the price of Bitcoin began to soar, rising to a few dollars or more than ten dollars apiece.

Everyone saw the prospect of Bitcoin and started mining Bitcoin one after another, making Bitcoin increasingly difficult to mine.

The excavation time has also increased from 20 minutes at the beginning of the year to half an hour, forty minutes, or even more than an hour...

In mid-June, the price of Bitcoin rose to an unprecedented $32, which is more than 200 yuan!

When everyone in the currency circle thought that Bitcoin was going to explode completely, the largest Bitcoin trading platform was attacked by hackers and completely bankrupt.

The wealth of many people in the currency circle has disappeared into thin air.

There are major problems with Bitcoin security!

Most people in the currency circle thought that Bitcoin was finished and had no future, so they gave up and left the market one after another...

After all, the trading platform has collapsed, and the Bitcoins that you have worked so hard to mine have been directly stolen by hackers. How about digging for nothing?

The price of Bitcoin also began to plummet, from more than 30 US dollars, all the way down to more than 20 US dollars, more than ten US dollars, eighty or nine US dollars, and it is still falling!

Therefore, after Wang Yi's rebirth, when he saw the price and the trend, he was not in a hurry to buy it, and it would drop again!

This wave, the party will not lose if you wait!

By September, the price of Bitcoin dropped to six dollars and is still falling!

Wang Yi knows that in two or three months, it will drop to about two dollars, which is almost the bottom, and then it will start to rebound!

At that time, the new trading platform Bitstamp was also established, which was a good time to buy at the bottom!

Bitcoin encountered this kind of disaster when it just started, which severely dampened the enthusiasm for currency speculation.

Those speculators who wanted to make a big move left the market one after another.

Those who dug for fun, dug dozens or hundreds of coins, but felt bored and simply gave up.

As time went by, many people even forgot about it.

It wasn't until six years later, when I saw the price of Bitcoin rising to hundreds of thousands, that I remembered my account.

Then dig it out, cash out millions or tens of millions, buy a house or a car, and reach the pinnacle of life...

There are many such talents, and everyone is envious of them.

But what Wang Yi didn't expect was that Lin Shu was also one of them!

What a destined rich little woman!

"Xiao Shu, how many coins have you dug?" Wang Yi was a little curious.

"I just started digging recently, and there are more than a hundred of them!"

Lin Shu took Wang Yi's hand and came to the north-facing study room on the second floor: "Look, they are still digging! Ah, another one was dug out!"

Lin Shu was overjoyed. She didn't know the future value of Bitcoin, but she enjoyed the sense of accomplishment from mining.

Just like those who love to collect, they often collect things of little value but that they like.

Just for fun.

"How long does it take to dig one?"

Lin Shu looked at the record: "This old computer has low configuration. It takes about two hours. If you don't shut it down for a day, you can mine ten coins! If you use the new computer provided for you, you can mine one in less than an hour.

More than twenty pieces a day!”

"Go ahead and dig it, maybe it will become very valuable in the future!" Wang Yixiao said.

"Yes, this thing can be sold for money!" Lin Shu nodded:

"But the market has been bad recently, and the price has been lowered. It has dropped to 6 US dollars. I heard from my senior sister that three months ago, it was more than 30 US dollars a piece! And the digging time is getting longer and longer!"

Wang Yi waved his hand: "It's okay. It's normal to have ups and downs. Just have fun digging and invest in the long term. Anyway, it's easy to dig now and you won't lose money."

"Okay, I listen to Xiaoyi. The old computer is idle anyway. Maybe if you dig a little more, you can buy a new computer, haha."

Wang Yi nodded: "Wait, wait until the market improves before selling, there is no rush now."

"OK."

Wang Yi knows that Bitcoin is getting harder and harder to mine.

Nowadays, a machine can mine one coin an hour and dozens of coins a day.

By 2012, it will take 2 hours to dig one, and a machine can only mine 12 coins a day.

By 2013, it took 13 hours to dig one, and one machine could not dig two in a day.

By 2014, it took 23 days to dig one, and one machine could not dig two in a month.

By then, the average electricity bill for mining one coin will be 5,000 yuan!

But by this time, the price of Bitcoin had risen to twenty to thirty thousand dollars.

Going forward, Bitcoin will become more and more expensive, and it will become more and more difficult to mine. It takes dozens of days, hundreds of days, or even more than a year to mine one...

But in 2011, it was still possible to mine Bitcoin.

"Xiao Shu, how much space does your Internet cafe usually have?"

"You want to use the spare machine in the Internet cafe to mine Bitcoin?"

Lin Shu's eyes lit up and he instantly understood what Wang Yi meant: "Yeah, why didn't I think of that?"

"Internet cafes have a high attendance rate during the day, but at night, there are fewer night-time reservations, and even less in the second half of the night. A lot of machines are empty. If they are all used for Bitcoin, there is no problem at all!"

Wang Yi nodded: "Just dig it. If Bitcoin soars, you will make money. Even if it is not valuable in the future, you will only lose some electricity bills and machine depreciation."

"Okay, Xiaoyi, I listen to you. The risk cost of mining coins is not worth mentioning, but it is much lower than stock trading!"

Lin Shu was filled with joy and immediately gave instructions to his network managers.

When there are few people, set aside an area to mine Bitcoins.

Of course, when there are many people, customers are given priority!

Wang Yi knew that Lin Shu had made a lot of money this time.

You can make money just by operating an Internet cafe during normal times. If you use idle resources to mine at night, you can make even more money!

Of course, this is just a small matter of digging while it's easy, and it's not the kind of professional mine.

When it becomes difficult to dig out in the future, just stop.

I have hundreds or thousands of coins in my hand, that’s enough!

Neither Wang Yi nor Lin Shu are greedy, nor do they intend to completely expand their business.

As for Wang Yi, he will just prepare to buy some Bitcoins at the bottom in batches in October and November.

At two dollars a piece, ten thousand pieces are only twenty thousand dollars, less than one hundred and thirty thousand yuan.

The exchange rate in 2011 was still 1:4588.

After a few years, the value of these Bitcoins increased, and Wang Yi planned to use the Bitcoins to go to Neon Country to purchase mobile phone accessories!

After all, Neon Country supports Bitcoin transactions.

Wang Yi's production of mobile phones, screens, batteries, etc. are all inseparable from Neon giants such as Sharp, JDI, Toshiba, and Sony.

Just when the price of Bitcoin is at its highest, use Bitcoin to buy accessories from Neon Kingdom and harvest them hard!

The currency speculation does not defraud the Chinese people, it specializes in harvesting thieves!

In the evening, Lin Shu was still cooking.

However, Lin Shu's cooking skills have improved a lot and she has more dishes.

"Xiao Shu, are you studying secretly?" Wang Yixiao said.

"Yes, it's just those few dishes. I was afraid that Xiaoyi would get tired of them, so I learned a few new ones." Lin Shu smiled sweetly.

Lin Shu liked Wang Yi, so she thought about how to treat Wang Yi well and make Wang Yi comfortable and happy.

They are not like those predecessors in previous lives who only thought about how to suppress Wang Yi, how to squeeze Wang Yi, and how to turn Wang Yi's wealth into their own wealth.

Wang Yi was filled with emotion and hugged Lin Shu into his arms: "Xiao Shu, you are so kind!"
