I Am a Nobleman in England

Bitcoin is a virtual currency with a limited amount, but it can be used to cash out: it can be exchanged into the currencies of most countries. You can use Bitcoin to buy some virtual items, such as clothes, hats, equipment, etc. in online games. As long as someone accepts it, you can use Bitcoin to buy real-life items.

Of course, as far as the current Bitcoin is concerned, the root of everything is that "as long as someone accepts it", it has monetary value!

In the study, Arthur, who was holding black tea, narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at the computer screen in front of him as if frozen. On the screen was the page of the Bitcoin Forum of the P2P foundation website. There was a post hanging on the top of it. 5050 BTC sold for $5.02!

The person who issued the first bitcoin-to-fiat transaction was Finnish developer Marti Marmi.

After seeing this high-hanging post, Arthur was very surprised and stunned. Even though he had never mixed Bitcoin in his previous life, he had learned about the epoch-making event of Bitcoin, a $25 pizza voucher exchange This is the first transaction in the history of Bitcoin, and this day is identified as a pizza day by the Bitcoin community.

But what is the situation now?

Looking at this post that had been hanging around for several days and no one had accepted the order, Arthur couldn't help taking a deep breath, squinting his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind that he was going to do something, something that could be recorded in history. Great event, posted a post without hesitation.

“To commemorate my 13 years with my family, and the black labrador named Dean who passed away last night, I am going to buy 13,000 bitcoins for $13!

contact me if interested. . . . . . "

After posting the post, Arthur stared at the forum with extremely bright eyes. Sure enough, two minutes later, his post was immediately pinned to the top, and three messages appeared. The content contained comfort and excitement for Arthur to bid to promote the value of Bitcoin.

The corner of Arthur's mouth is raised. Since a pizza coupon worth 25 dollars can be recorded in the annals of history and become a pizza ri, then the purchase of 13,000 bitcoins with a real value of 13 dollars led by him this time will definitely make people happy. The currency circle praised this transaction as 'Dean Ri', and recorded it in the annals of history.

As Bitcoin soared all the way, his influence expanded, making him, the first person in the transaction and Dean, the most famous person and Labrador in the world!

As for whether it will change anything, whether it will cause a butterfly effect, Arthur is not worried, because the current Bitcoin is just a "toy" for people in the digital cryptocurrency circle.

Whether it is 10,000 bitcoins to buy pizza coupons or the hard drive with a large amount of bitcoins thrown into the garbage dump, what Arthur is doing now is nothing more than allowing himself to lead an epoch-making moment in the history of bitcoin development.

After all, no one can expect that a virtual digital "toy" among geeks and liberals can bring more and deeper changes to the world today with the rapid development of the Internet!

As for why Arthur doesn't buy more, the main reason is that if he buys too obviously and urgently, it might be self-defeating.

What's more, many people are still wondering whether Bitcoin is a great Internet financial experiment that subverts the existing financial system, or a Ponzi scheme dominated by geeks?

You must know that Bitcoin is a virtual object, just like any item or artwork, and the people who rely on it will have a good expected value for it and continue to inject funds. So there is a certain basis for many people to regard it as a scam.

Because in the eyes of many people, Bitcoin is superior to general scams and gambling in that it is a combination of gambling and cheating. The first is to bet on the value expectation, and then to deceive the receiver to receive the currency.

Of course, Arthur doesn't care about this. After all, as the first group of people, he only needs to hoard enough bitcoins in his hands, and then he can sell them when they rise to a certain value. Is it important?

Just as Arthur thought, his post became the most popular post on the entire forum, and digital currency "predecessors" also praised Arthur's acquisition. What "has epoch-making significance", praised Arthur's "great contribution to the world", believed that Bitcoin "has the potential to change the world" and so on.

And ten minutes after he posted the post, he also received the first email, and the other party did not hesitate to transfer 13,000 bitcoins into the bitcoin wallet address left by Arthur in the post.

After the transaction data of Bitcoin is packaged into a "data block" or "block", the transaction is initially confirmed.

Without hesitation, Arthur opened his wallet with the private key and clicked download, and soon there were 13,000 more bitcoins in his wallet. And Arthur also paid the other party 13 dollars through mobile banking according to the bank card number given by the other party.

The transaction is officially done!

If you use banknotes as a metaphor, Bitcoin is the serial number of the banknote, and the transaction of Bitcoin is equivalent to knowing the serial number on a certain banknote, which is equivalent to owning this banknote.

Immediately afterwards, the screenshot was sent to the computer, and Arthur posted the screenshot on the post. The first transaction in Bitcoin history was officially completed.

The entire forum fell into a heated carnival, and Arthur's formulated posts also continuously generated new messages.

"It's a great moment!"

"Today is 'Dean Ri'..."

"Bitcoin has a price for the first time!"

. . . . . .

Arthur looked at those messages, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter. To be honest, it feels really good to be a part of the early history of Bitcoin.

However, on today's anniversary, I am afraid that people in the currency circle will no longer be able to get together to eat pizza to celebrate, and we can only post photos of LOW dogs together. . .

Thinking of that scene, Arthur couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Arthur took out a mobile hard disk and transferred his bitcoin data packets to the mobile hard disk. This is undoubtedly the safest way. You must know that when Bitcoin was in its development period, hackers were the most vulnerable. Likes to 'steal bitcoins' everywhere, he doesn't want to get ransacked.

Seeing that someone left a message on the post suggesting the establishment of a bitcoin trading platform, Arthur knew that this transaction of his own officially opened the Pandora's box of bitcoin.

"This market will gradually go crazy because of me!" Arthur lit a victory cigar for himself, leaned on the boss chair, and watched the forum posts that were constantly refreshed.

At this time, the forum has completely turned into a fanatical community, people rushed to leave messages to celebrate this historic moment, and Arthur's name in the currency circle "Count Dracula" became the hottest topic.
