Chapter 1924

So bitcoin is actually a very unfair thing. If you join early, you can get unimaginable maximum benefits at the least cost.

If you join late, you will have to pay an unimaginable price.

By 2021, countless professional bitcoin mining machines have been running, and these mining machines have evolved through generations.

At the beginning, bitcoin was calculated by ordinary computers, that is, mining.

Later, as bitcoin became more and more difficult to dig out, people began to replace the computer CPU. After all, a stronger CPU can perform more operations per second, and the mining efficiency will be higher.

However, those professional miners soon found that the CPU is not suitable for mining, because the CPU can perform more difficult calculations, rather than such simple library collision calculations.

On the contrary, the graphics processor, that is, the graphics card, is very suitable for mining, because the function of the graphics card is to perform a large number of repeated operations, which is the ability required to mine bitcoin.

At the same price, the mining capacity of a graphics card is 10 times that of a CPU, so the second generation mining machines began to use the graphics card as the core of mining calculation.

After that, every generation of mining machine changes are calculated with graphics cards, which leads to a large number of miners starting to rush to buy graphics cards in the market, and then further leads to the sharp rise in the price of graphics cards, so that the price of a graphics card has risen to an unimaginable level.

For example, the computer that the author Jun is using spent 2900 to buy a 5700 graphics card. As a result, the graphics card has risen to 8500 yuan, and it is still out of stock. All these are the credit of crazy miners.

Cough, back to business, the miner who dug 36000 special solutions is naturally our musk. After he uploaded his post, he began to dig directly.

After all, his purpose of copying hot bitcoins is to let himself save a batch of bitcoins and sell them to make money when he gets hot.

In addition, in the future, he also plans to operate companies such as bitcoin trading lines to earn the price difference as an intermediary in bitcoin trading.

But musk himself didn't expect that the mining speed was so terrible. He dug 1.8 million bitcoins in seven days, which made him worry about whether he was a little whimsical.

However, with the passage of time, the difficulty of bitcoin mining has become higher and higher. After a month, according to the data displayed in the background, there are more than 120 miners around the world, of which the most mining is himself. So far, more than 2.4 million bitcoins have been excavated.

The second is the third miner, who dug about 300000 bitcoins.

Like musk, after knowing the existence of bitcoin, he began to dig mines all the time, and the computer didn't stop.

However, because he joined on the 14th day, his mining speed is far lower than before. He only dug 300000 pieces in half a month, but it's enough to blow for a lifetime.

After all, the computer he currently uses will be put in 2020. Given 30 years, he can't dig out a bitcoin!

Three months later, the time of the earth entered 2010. Musk found that about 10 million of the 21 million bitcoins in the world had been excavated. Musk was also shocked by this speed. He thought that this number should be reached in 2012. As a result, it took only three months to reach this point.

He looked at all the bitcoin distribution at present and found that except for him and several pioneers who were crazy to dig at the beginning, other bitcoins were evenly distributed in the hands of more than 30000 holders around the world. This distribution is very reasonable and scientific. It can only be said that the propagation speed of bitcoin is faster than musk imagined.

In fact, the same is true. For example, in January 2010, a small pizza chain in Silicon Valley announced that they would accept bitcoin for payment.

It's also on the local news. It's said that the owner of this pizza chain is a senior programmer who changed his career, so its pizza shop opened in Silicon Valley. It also offered 24-hour takeout service, becoming the most popular pizza shop in Silicon Valley.

Although the pizza in this pizza shop doesn't taste very good, the key is 24-hour takeout. For programmers, it's great happiness to be able to eat hot pizza at 2 a.m.

Similarly, the boss is also a senior lover and miner of bitcoin, so the boss will publicly advertise in his pizza shop and express his willingness to accept bitcoin to pay for pizza. The price is 10000 bitcoin a pizza.

As a result, on the first day of opening, no one paid with bitcoin. It's not that everyone knows the value of bitcoin now, but even in Silicon Valley, few people know and understand bitcoin, let alone own it. It's still a popular thing in the minority.

Until the third day, there was a programmer who took 10000 bitcoins to buy pizza.

"I'm the third bitcoin miner in the world. I now have 400000 bitcoins in my hand!" the programmer boasted to his boss while eating pizza.

"That's really amazing!" the boss said with admiration. "I dug it late. I've only dug up more than 100 bitcoins so far. I can't compare with you!"

"Hey, it's good that you collect bitcoins for consumption, otherwise I don't know what the 400000 bitcoins are used for... I don't dig now. It's still in the way of putting the 400000 bitcoins in the computer. I don't know what to do!" the programmer complained.

"I think it's very good!" the boss said with a smile. "It took me a month to dig up more than 100 bitcoins for my computer and hundreds of dollars for electricity. Now I exchange tens of thousands of bitcoins for a pizza worth only $10. Isn't it very cost-effective?"

"Hey, this thing is a little fresh at first, but then it's boring! Boss, otherwise I'll transfer 300000 bitcoins to you, and then I'll come to you for a pizza every day for the next month?" the programmer asked.

Well, as a local tyrant with 400000 bitcoins, he really knows bitcoin very well. From the beginning, he wanted to dig mines every day and watch his number of bitcoins rise crazily.

Up to now, bitcoin has become dull for him, and it's still a hindrance to put it at home.

That is, the boss was just mining and was interested in bitcoin. The programmer estimated that after a long time, he would not be interested in receiving bitcoin again. Maybe I can't buy pizza with bitcoin in a few days, so I have to set the quantity for 30 days to avoid the boss's repentance.

"No problem!" the boss said with a smile.
