Computer Repair: Find 4 Million Bitcoins At The Beginning

Bitcoin!

As a native of Longguo, most of you must have heard of the name Bitcoin.

Although the vast majority of Longguo people must have never seen what Bitcoin looks like.

However, as a qualified network security engineer who graduated from a computer department with professional skills close to LV: 1.

Yu Liang is no stranger to Bitcoin.

After graduation, Yu Liang has been working in this company.

Because the company's vice president in charge of network security and head of the network department is an old friend of his uncle Yu Jiang, so his immediate boss treats him fairly well.

In the past few years, Yu Liang has traveled to beautiful countries and Europe with his supervisor.

It can be regarded as having seen the world.

When he was in Europe, a technician from the reception company boasted to him, saying that he bought a few bitcoins before they became popular.

And now, it's rich.

That's right.

Although only a few bitcoins.

But it is already rich.

The current market price of Bitcoin is already more than 20,000 US dollars.

You read that right, if one Bitcoin is sold today, it will be worth 20,000 US dollars, or about 140,000 RMB.

If it is ten bitcoins, it is 200,000 US dollars, or about 1.4 million yuan.

If this is not considered getting rich, then what is called getting rich?

Therefore, Yu Liang was also curious about Bitcoin, and applied for a wallet on the largest virtual currency trading network.

However, the price of Bitcoin at that time was already unattainable for him.

Therefore, Yu Liang did not buy it.

I can only look at the empty wallet and sigh that time is gone.

He vowed that if he could travel back to the era when Bitcoin was worthless.

He must not buy stocks, houses, or start a business, but buy all his money in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin appeared in 2009.

The earliest Bitcoin price was generated in 2010.

A programmer in the beautiful country exchanged 10,000 bitcoins for two pizza coupons worth $25. This is the first time that bitcoin has a price.

10,000 bitcoins, roughly equal to $50.

After conversion, a bitcoin is not even a penny, only a mere 0.5 cents.

And now?

$20,000!

In just over ten years, it has increased by a full 4 million times.

In the world, what kind of business is there, is there anything crazier than it?

Now, everyone knows that Bitcoin is worth money.

Therefore, as long as there are people who have bitcoins, they all collect them carefully.

However, when this thing was first born, it cost less than a penny.

Naturally, not many people care.

So, the possibility of Bitcoin being forgotten is not small.

At this time, looking at the 11 bitcoin keys lying quietly in the garbage dump, Yu Liang was so excited that it was difficult to calm down.

For bitcoin transactions, in addition to the secret key, there is also a bitcoin "wallet".

It's a place to store your digital currency, which is essential no matter what kind of exchange you use.

This storage wallet stores the private key for bitcoins, which is a secret number (a 256-bit string).

Use your private key to access your bitcoins.

This private key allows you to move freely in the market. No matter which bitcoin trading platform you buy on, as long as the private key is in your hands, you can sell it in any market.

At this time, the 11 bitcoin private keys just appeared in the garbage dump.

In other words, these 11 bitcoins were actually forgotten within ten kilometers of Yu Liang as the center point.

As for why their original owners had forgotten them...

Maybe it's because the person in charge of these private keys suddenly encountered misfortune, so it's too late to explain?

And this private key happens to be known only by him?

This is only within a radius of ten kilometers.

So, how many forgotten Bitcoins are there in the world?

As soon as this idea came up, Yu Liang broke into a cold sweat with excitement.

He opened the garbage bin again and found the top global search.

Typed "Bitcoin" into the box.

After clicking OK, the machine started running crazily.

A full five minutes passed.

"Shua..."

Rows of bitcoin wallets and private keys flowed out like a waterfall.

Swipe!

Yu Liang never imagined that one day he would feel so beautiful when he saw the swiping screen.

I don't know how long it took, but the machine finally stopped.

Then, Yu Liang glanced at the statistics.

Even though he was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but gasp.

God!

4103438 Bitcoins.

Worldwide, more than 4 million bitcoins have been forgotten.

What an incredible thing this is!

You know, Bitcoin is not infinite.

Unlike most currencies, Bitcoin is not issued by a specific monetary institution.

It is generated through a large number of calculations based on a specific algorithm. The Bitcoin economy uses a distributed database composed of many nodes in the entire P2P network to confirm and record all transaction behaviors, and uses cryptography to ensure the security of all aspects of currency circulation.

The decentralized nature of P2P and the algorithm itself can ensure that the value of the currency cannot be artificially manipulated by producing a large number of bitcoins.

Cryptography-based design allows bitcoins to be transferred or paid only by real owners.

This also ensures the anonymity of currency ownership and circulation transactions.

The biggest difference between Bitcoin and other virtual currencies is that its total quantity is very limited and it is extremely scarce.

The currency system used to have no more than 10.5 million in 4 years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to 21 million.

Although mining is far from over now.

However, 4 million pieces have been forgotten?

This forgetting does not mean being stolen, but that it is really gone.

Just like gold will be buried in the ground and sink into the sea, paper money will be burned, torn and so on.

Bitcoins, too, will be lost.

However, this amount of loss is really a bit large.

Already a little dizzy, Yu Liang quickly calculated.

If every bitcoin is worth 20,000 US dollars.

So, how much are 4 million bitcoins worth?

80 billion dollars?

My God, do you actually have such a large amount of wealth in your hands?

Yu Liang trembled with excitement.

However, he also knew that this was just wealth on paper.

It is not an easy task to actually exchange them into currencies of various countries.

If he sold it all at once...

It will definitely cause a Bitcoin crash.

Therefore, if you want to maximize your benefits, you still need a little bit.

Perhaps, these bitcoins may not be able to sell all of them when he dies.
