Listening to Lu Sifang on the other side of the ocean vividly describe the current situation in the overseas market to him over the phone, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a subtle feeling in his heart.
It was as if this scene seemed similar to him, as if he had experienced it somewhere before. For Zhou Dongsheng, this was the first time he had heard of the "ransomware virus".
Maybe at this point in my previous life, I was still running for a living, or maybe I didn’t pay much attention to the topics on the hot search list, or maybe the influence of this thing in the country was not that big...
Therefore, this sense of familiarity obviously does not come from the virus, but... Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but have a realization in his heart. Now that Bitcoin has begun to slowly move toward a bull market, is it just like the stock market in 2015?
This moment, exactly like that moment, can be so similar!
Of course, they are not the same in terms of scale, but this sense of subtlety comes precisely from Zhou Dongsheng's position. In these two markets of varying sizes, Zhou Dongsheng plays the role of a beneficiary.
But at that time, Zhou Dongsheng was just a drop in the ocean in the epic market wave in 2015. Even with a series of foresighted operations, he could only obtain "insignificant" small target profits from it.
Compared with the entire stock market, which can easily reach trillions in scale, it has not even reached the level of "weak water can only be taken from a scoop".
However, this also allowed Zhou Dongsheng to complete his primitive accumulation and earn his first bucket of starting capital. Otherwise, he would not have achieved what he has today.
As time has passed, Zhou Dongsheng's role in the huge Bitcoin market has undoubtedly increased in weight. Even Zhou Dongsheng himself does not know that he has become one of the opportunities to start this bull market in advance.
After all, the chips in the entire market are very limited. When Zhou Dongsheng continues to sweep up the chips to complete the accumulation of funds and build positions, the chips flowing on the market will naturally be greatly reduced. Such abnormal fluctuations will naturally not escape the eyes of those who are interested.
Therefore, the emergence of this variable naturally indirectly promoted the start of this Bitcoin bull market. After all, when Zhou Dongsheng entered the market, the single-day trading volume of the entire Bitcoin market was only tens of millions of dollars.
Regardless of whether the liquidity or the chips circulating in the market are very limited, the hundreds of millions of dollars he originally prepared to enter the market to attract funds would take more than ten days to digest based on the capacity of the entire market.
Even in the entire market at that time, there may have been very few retail investors. It was just some institutions that were playing with the left hand and the right hand, but the chips were getting smaller and smaller...
No matter how slow the response is, most institutions will respond. As the transaction volume gradually increases, the liquidity of Bitcoin will naturally increase greatly. Coupled with the continued turbulence and impact of the external economic environment...
Some retail investors and market hot money gradually flowed into Bitcoin, and then became the main force driving the price higher, giving Bitcoin, which has been three years since the last bull market, a second spring.
From breaking through the US$1,000 mark at the end of 2016, and then doubling it several times just six months later, touching the threshold of US$4,000, there is no doubt that this bull market has taken off and has reached an unstoppable point.
As for the emergence of ransomware, it is just a side manifestation of this wave of market conditions. Even people with ulterior motives are eyeing Bitcoin, which shows that its value has been recognized within a certain range and it has sufficient liquidity.
As long as it can be circulated, it has room for maneuver, which proves the value of this thing. As for what this thing is, it is not the key.
As long as it is unique enough and the quantity is relatively limited, then that is enough. As long as there is a market, people will flock to it, and value is the biggest driving force.
It’s just that the chips have changed from tulips and clivia to Bitcoin.
As for Zhou Dongsheng, who already had enough chips in hand, all he had to do next was to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and watch the market rise and fall. Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng felt extremely fulfilled and calm inside.
A trace of expectation and curiosity can't help but arise in my heart, and I don't know where the ceiling of this bull market will be.
Different from the stock market wave in 2015, because there were clear examples around him, Zhou Dongsheng had a rough idea of the turning point. Although it was not accurate enough, it was enough for him to make a profit and leave the market in time.
However, Zhou Dongsheng's understanding of Bitcoin is very limited, and it is difficult to make an accurate timing judgment on its market conditions.
I just vaguely remember that in the turbulent years to come, Bitcoin has been pushed to the forefront of the world, and its popularity and attention have even reached a level that has attracted worldwide attention.
It was also during that period of frenzy among everyone that the market value of Bitcoin reached a true historical high. As for how much it was, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't remember clearly that time.
After all, for the sake of stability, Zhou Dongsheng always stayed away from such things that were outside his cognitive scope. However, even so, he could not escape the fate of becoming a leek.
Green funds are the ultimate destination for leeks!
However, for Zhou Dongsheng today, this thing is no longer outside the scope of cognition. It cannot be separated from its origin. As long as the essence is seen through the phenomenon and regarded as a kind of bargaining chip, then everything is ultimately market behavior.
.
If you look at it this way, you won't be confused by its lofty concept. Regardless of whether it is blockchain technology or decentralization, isn't it the selling point of the product?
As for the rest, the market doesn't care, nor do customers. Just having such a big piece of cake placed there is tempting enough.
However, as the ransomware virus spreads around the world and the mystery of Bitcoin is unveiled to the general public, the existence of Bitcoin has also attracted a lot of controversy.
In particular, it has caused resistance from some traditional financial practitioners. It is true that decentralization is a major selling point of Bitcoin, but what is this "center"?
In the final analysis, isn’t this the foundation of traditional financial practitioners? It goes against their long-standing financial common sense!
In their view, currency without an issuer means that no institution or organization will protect it. So what is the difference between such currency and waste paper?
Obviously, any technology or product that violates convention and challenges tradition will inevitably be fiercely counterattacked by conservatives, and this has always been the case.
However, this kind of resistance obviously cannot effectively interfere with its value, especially four years later, after Germany recognized the value of Bitcoin, the island country also publicly recognized it as a legal payment method.
With national-level recognition, it will undoubtedly further improve the liquidity of Bitcoin in the market, and at the same time provide a certain guarantee for its value.
At the very least, for retail investors and some investors, it greatly boosted their confidence, and even received great encouragement from it, and began to rush in waving the banknotes in their hands.
Always tearful, always high-spirited, never learning a lesson, never repenting, this may be the most true portrayal of retail investors (funny).
But it has to be said that the unique attributes of Bitcoin, whether it is anonymous transactions, tax-free and unregulated, or the ability to easily bypass the regulatory system for cross-border transactions in any corner of the world, are destined to become a
A hotbed of illegal activity.
But to a certain extent, this is not a shortcoming. After all, the green U.S. knife is also the designated currency of criminal groups, but it does not hinder the global status of the U.S. knife at all, right?
On the contrary, it is precisely because of the attributes of Bitcoin that it seems to be born for speculation, which has further contributed to its popularity among retail investors and investors.
After all, in professional tracks such as the global stock market that have been around for a long time, there are naturally hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Professionals are everywhere. Even victorious generals like Buffett have failed before, let alone ordinary people.
In such an extreme professional track, no matter whether you are a professional or a veteran trader, you cannot guarantee that you will be able to achieve the goal of stable profits. You can only practice based on empirical dogma.
On such a card table, after a long period of evolution, the rules of the game have become open, transparent, and relatively fair and just. Basically, all loopholes that can be exploited have been exploited by others, and they have been blocked by the rules.
Therefore, as long as you want to participate in it, you have to act according to the rules. To a certain extent, the rules are also born to protect the weak, so that the entire game system can develop sustainably and not be exhausted.
When there is no choice, no matter whether it is the strong or the weak, everyone lives in peace within this established framework. However, when another track appears, the situation will naturally undergo some subtle changes.
Although I don't have the ability to lift the table, I can play on another table, and the game rules on this table seem simpler and rougher, even somewhat "humanized".
Since you can't win over others on the original track, maybe you can do miracles on a different track? What's more, on this track, most people are on the same starting line!
This starting line naturally does not refer to the number of chips, but that everyone’s understanding of Bitcoin is basically the same, that is, they know nothing about it.
However, those who don’t know are fearless, and the less they understand, the more they dare to place bets. After all, some people are used to understanding the rules of the game before entering the market cautiously.
And some people are more inclined to practice to gain true knowledge and directly exchange money for experience, even if they spend money to buy lessons, they will not lose.
Which of the two methods is better or worse is naturally difficult to evaluate. In a nutshell, it is probably that the risks and benefits are directly proportional...
This is destined to be a carnival for gamblers. However, there are people who support this new track that disrupts market rules, and there are naturally people who will oppose it.
The ideological confrontation between the reformers and the conservatives is always prevalent in various fields, with checks and balances between the two.
Seeing that Bitcoin is becoming more and more popular, relevant domestic regulatory authorities have also issued warnings about risks in a timely manner, hoping to cool down the market so that investors can view this new type of currency more rationally.
However, just as the three major domestic exchanges jointly issued a statement before, threatening to charge handling fees in order to further curb speculation and stabilize market prices, this not only failed to cool down the market, but instead pushed prices to rise steadily, all the way up.
This time it seems to be the same, as if the market is deliberately going against the regulatory authorities, the price of Bitcoin has risen instead of falling, embarking on a rising trend that bucks the trend.
Such obvious bad news did not have any adverse impact on the market, which undoubtedly further increased market confidence and prompted more retail investors and investors to enter the market.
Afraid that it would be too late and not even have the chance to drink soup, the mood of the entire market continued to rise. Although the single-day trading volume did not hit a new high, it stabilized in the range of around US$2 billion, jumping back and forth.
The market's baton was passed back and forth, forming a strong support for the market. Even if there was no further rise, there was not much fall back. Obviously, in the range of more than 4,000 US dollars, market sentiment diverged.
After all, in this bull market, investors from China are a major force supporting the market, and the three major Bitcoin exchanges in China undoubtedly play a mainstay role in the entire Bitcoin market.
Therefore, there is no doubt that the attitude of China's regulatory authorities will become the main factor affecting the decision-making of China's investors. Once this main force leaves the market, it will be a big negative for the entire market.
With the relevant local regulatory authorities frequently speaking out and even directly interviewing the heads of the three major exchanges, whether the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads will fall has become a factor for some investors to consider.
.
It even prompted some investors who entered the market early to choose to leave the market with profits. At the same time, a storm began to brew secretly.
Zhou Dongsheng obviously knew nothing about this, but after knowing the relevant news in the domestic and overseas markets and understanding it, he lightly replied to Lu Sifang with three words, "I know."
Still unmoved by the current market conditions, with no further instructions, and no choice to adjust or lighten positions, this rock-solid performance undoubtedly made Lu Sifang even more excited.
Today, the crazy market performance is enough to prove how accurate and terrifying Zhou Dongsheng's indescribable talent and sense of smell are. It is even difficult for him to understand. Why is Zhou Dongsheng so confident?
But facts speak louder than words, and a hundred words and a thousand words are not worth the convincingness of that string of data. When Bitcoin broke through 4,000 US dollars, my own income had exceeded 546%!
Just by following the boss's back and borrowing the wind, he has already created the highest rate of return in his career, and at the same time, his wealth has doubled several times.
Sure enough, if you follow the right person, making money is easier than drinking water. In just half a year, you have already earned more than 5 million US dollars!
This amount of money is more than the sum of all the wealth I had in the first half of my life!
And Zhou Dongsheng's image in his mind has continued to expand with the increase in wealth. Now, let alone doing the same thing, Lu Sifang would not hesitate even if he had to take a bullet for Zhou Dongsheng.
If a bullet is worth 5 million US dollars... then a few more rounds doesn't seem unacceptable...
It's just that the iron fist fell far faster than anyone imagined. Before the market could even react, the iron fist came with lightning speed!
