Bitcoin is a virtual currency with limited quantity, but it can be used to cash out: it can be exchanged for currencies in 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 items in real life.

Of course, as for Bitcoin at present, the fundamental reason lies in the fact that it has monetary value only if someone accepts it!

In the study, Arthur holding black tea narrowed his eyes slightly, and his whole body stared at the computer screen in front of him as if he had been frozen. On the screen is the page of the Bitcoin forum of the p2pfoundation website, and a post was hung on the top. Someone was selling 5,050 btcs for US$5.02!

The person who issued the first transaction between Bitcoin and fiat currency was from Finland's developer Marti Malmi.

After seeing this high-profile post, Arthur was very surprised and shocked. Even though he had never been involved in Bitcoin in his previous life, he also learned about the epoch-making events of Bitcoin. A pizza coupon worth $25 was exchanged for 10,000 Bitcoin. This was the first transaction in Bitcoin history. This day was determined by the Bitcoin world as a pizza ri.

But, what is the situation now?

Looking at this post that had been suspended for several days and no one had taken orders, Arthur couldn't help but take a deep breath, narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally made up his mind that he was going to make trouble and do something that could be recorded in history, and posted a post without hesitation.

“In memory of my family and I for 13 years, and with the black Labrador Retriever named Dean who passed away last night, I am going to acquire 13,000 Bitcoins for $13!

If you are interested, please contact me..."

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

Arthur's mouth was raised. Since a pizza coupon worth $25 can be recorded in history and become a pizza ri, the real acquisition of 13,000 bitcoins he led this time will definitely make the currency circle praise the transaction as "Dean ri" and thus enter history.

As Bitcoin soared and its influence expanded, he, the first person in the transaction, and Dean, became the most famous person in the world and Labrador!

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

Whether it is buying pizza coupons for 10,000 bitcoins or throwing the hard drive with a large amount of bitcoin into the garbage dump, what Arthur is doing now is just to let him dominate the epoch-making moment in the history of Bitcoin development.

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

As for why Arthur did not acquire more, it was mainly because if he acquired it too obvious and urgently, he might backfire.

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 led by geeks?

You should know that Bitcoin is a virtual object. Like any object or artwork, it relies on the people who receive coins to generate beautiful expected value for it and constantly inject funds. Therefore, many people regard it as a scam with a certain basis.

Because in the eyes of many people, the clever thing about Bitcoin is that it is a combination of gambling and fraud. First, it is expected value, and then it is the person who cheats the coin to receive coins.

Of course, Arthur didn't care about these things. After all, as one of the earliest people, he just had to hoard enough Bitcoin in his hands, then increase to a certain value and take it off. As for who takes over, is it important to him to rise and fall in the later period?

As Arthur thought, his posts became the most popular post on the forum, and the digital currency "predecessors" also praised Arthur's acquisition. What "has epoch-making significance", praise Arthur for "great contributions to the world", believes that Bitcoin "has the potential to change the world", etc.

Ten minutes after he posted the post, he received the first email, and the other party without hesitation put 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 considered to be initially confirmed.

Arthur opened his wallet with his private key without hesitation and clicked to download it. Soon, 13,000 bitcoins were added to his wallet. Arthur also paid the other party $13 through mobile banking based on the bank card number given by the other party.

The transaction is officially completed!

If you use banknotes as a metaphor, Bitcoin is the crown number of the banknote. The transaction of Bitcoin is equivalent to knowing the crown number of a banknote, which is equivalent to owning the banknote.

Then the screenshot was sent to the computer, and Arthur published the screenshot on the post, and the first transaction in Bitcoin history was officially completed.

The entire forum was in a warm carnival, and new messages were constantly generated by Arthur's posts.

“This is a great moment!”

"Today is 'Deanri'..."

"The first time Bitcoin has a price!"...

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

However, from now on this anniversary, I am afraid that people in the cryptocurrency circle will no longer be able to gather together to eat pizza to celebrate, so we can only post photos of low dogs together...

Thinking of that kind of scene, Arthur couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, Arthur took out a mobile hard drive and transferred his Bitcoin packet to the mobile hard drive. This is undoubtedly the safest. You must know that when Bitcoin is developing, hackers like to "steal Bitcoin" everywhere, and he doesn't want to be robbed.

Looking at someone leaving a message on the post, he suggested establishing a Bitcoin trading platform. Arthur knew that this transaction had officially opened the Pandora's box of Bitcoin.

"This market will gradually go crazy because of itself!" Arthur lit a victory cigar for himself, leaned against the boss's chair, and looked at the constantly refreshing forum posts.

At this time, the forum had completely become a fanatical community, people rush to leave messages to celebrate this historical moment, and the name of Arthur's currency circle, "Earl of Dracula" became the hottest topic.
Chapter completed!
