Rebirth of England

In Barron's previous life, according to a report released by blockchain analysis company Chainalysis in June 2020, at least 3.7 million BitCs have not been touched for more than five years. Conservative estimates suggest that about 3 million BitCs will be lost forever...

For example, lying in an abandoned hard drive in a large garbage dump. Because the price of BitC was not high at the beginning, many people did not care about saving wallet keys - the key of a BitC wallet is usually a combination of 256 alphanumeric characters (including uppercase and lowercase letters). A string of keys corresponds to a wallet address. Only by having the key corresponding to the address can the BitC in the address be transferred and other operations be performed.

Or because of floods, tornadoes, typhoons, tsunamis, wars, etc., computers are destroyed wherever they pass...

Or because of hard disk damage, computer loss, coffee flowing into laptops, or even mistaken deletion of software, virus and Trojan damage to data, pranks destroying computers, resulting in the loss of wallet keys...

Sometimes, forget the storage location of BitC, forget the existence of BitC...

If your bank card or bank deposit certificate is lost, you can still withdraw your deposit with your identity certificate; or if you forget your bank password, you can also go to the bank and ask the staff to modify it.

But BitC, a blockchain asset, has the characteristics of anonymity and immutability.

That is to say, the basis for you to hold BitC is that only you know the key of the corresponding wallet. Once you lose the key for various reasons, you will lose these BitC assets forever.

Because once the key is lost, it also means that it is impossible to get back BitC by modifying the blockchain record...

So these BitC will always lie in those wallet addresses, unable to enter circulation, and become "dead" BitC.

Therefore, although the total amount of BitC is 21 million (as of the end of 2020, more than 18.5 million bitcoins have been mined, and less than 2.5 million have not yet been put into circulation), in fact, the number of BitC that can be used is far less than this number. As mentioned above, at least more than 2 million BitCs have been unable to circulate forever for various reasons...

And the output of BitC is halved about every four years-if the performance of the BitC mining machine is constantly improving, it means that the cost of mining BitC itself is also constantly rising (the cost of the mining machine plus the power loss during the mining process), which is the basic logic of the increase in the price of BitC.

Of course, the premise is that this game can be played all the time-in other words, its value can be recognized by more and more people and become a consensus similar to gold.

Some people also think that this is something similar to the "Tulip Scam"...

But at least until Barron was reborn, BitC still did not collapse.

To change the way of thinking, if a "scam" can last for a very long time, long enough to cover your entire life...

Then is it a scam, does it make sense to you?

Just like the proportion of peaceful time in human history is extremely short, but if you are lucky enough to spend your entire life in this short period of peace, then for you, the topic of war does not have much meaning.

And in the final analysis, Barron's wealth does not rely on BitC. He only needs the blockchain industry derived from it to promote the development of Colo.

He is not a savior, and he does not want to be a person like Satoshi Nakamoto who has made great contributions to the development of this industry. What he wants is nothing more than that this industry has a certain wealth accumulation effect, which has been proven in his previous life. That's enough.

…

The groundbreaking ceremony of the Oriental Film Metropolis project will not be held until next month-after all, this time the Oriental Film Metropolis Group is preparing to make an impressive appearance, so many stars are invited, not only Hollywood stars will come, but basically all the well-known stars in China will be present at that time.

It can be said that their groundbreaking ceremony this time will be comparable to many entertainment celebrations later.

Before that, Barron took Fan Bingbing and a pair of children and temporarily left China and went to India.

The Devonshire landed in Mumbai, and they took a motorcade to the chic Antila Building again, which is the residence of Mukesh Ambani, the richest man in India and the owner of Reliance Group.

The last time Barron came here, he was invited by Mukesh to be a guest here.

After all, the two sides still have a lot of cooperation in the Indian market. Not only will the United Energy Group cooperate with the Indian Reliance Industries Group to build the world's largest refining project in Jamnagar, India, but O2 Telecom has also established a joint venture with Reliance Information Telecommunications Company, O2 Reliance Telecom, whose business covers India and some surrounding countries.

"Hello, Your Highness..."

"Isha, it's nice to see you, you are even more beautiful."

In this mansion, Barron also met Mukesh's family, including his daughter Isha Ambani. The little girl is only fifteen years old now and looks very ladylike.

Barron also had an impression of her in his previous life, which came from the overwhelming media reports at that time - when Isha Ambani got married, Mukesh spent $100 million to hold a wedding for her, and dispatched more than 30 planes to pick up guests around the world. It can be said that the pomp was inhumane.

After all, Mukesh has been the richest man in Asia for quite a long time, and because of the sharp rise in the stocks he held in 2007, he also squeezed Bill Gates out of the position of the world's richest man in a short period of time...

At least on the surface, Barron has never achieved this achievement.

"Your Highness, I wonder what you think of India? Are you optimistic about India's future development?"

After Mukesh entertained Barron and his party with traditional Indian food (of course not the kind of street snacks, clean and hygienic...), he stood with Barron in the top garden of the Antila Building, overlooking the night view of Mumbai, and said to Barron.

Barron sipped the tea in his cup and said with a smile:

"In the next 20 years, Asia will be the engine of global economic development. Among them, China and India are the most eye-catching. After all, whether it is a high-quality population or a vast market, India will also become one of the main forces of the global economy..."

"But it must be said that compared with China, India still has some gaps."

Unlike the blind confidence of some ordinary Indian people, Mukesh can see many things very clearly from his current position.

In fact, India and China started at a similar time. In the middle of the last century, India was stronger than China in some indicators - India's per capita income was US$619, while China was only US$439. India's human development index was 0.163, while China was only 0.160.

But this gap began to widen sharply after the 1980s. Now, India's GDP is only one-fourth of China's, and the gap between the two sides is becoming more and more obvious.

"This also shows the potential of India, doesn't it?"

Hearing Barron's words, Mukesh nodded and suddenly asked:

"Have you heard of DMIC?"

"Is it the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor?"

"Yes, our Minister of Industry will visit Japan soon, and the main topic at that time will be this plan. Are you interested in it, Your Highness?"
