Chapter 496 A carnival of harvesting and being harvested
Based on previous actions around Bitcoin, Bolang used the entire influence of the entire group in overseas markets to boost it again, which will obviously have a superimposed effect.
Previously, except for the Bitcoin ATM machine launched in Vancouver in October, which has a relatively beneficial value circulation, other promotions have been less meaningful.
Including major Internet platforms announcing that they can accept Bitcoin payments.
The official news of the Xinghai brand has drawn people's attention to the industries most within reach.
Considering the global popularity of Xinghai brand electronic products and the longest booking period for the Xinghai 2 series, it can only be said that the results are outstanding.
Lloyd and other global financial giants knew at a glance that they were going to cut leeks on a large scale.
“Bitcoin contract trading…”
Lloyd muttered.
"fuxkme!"
Lloyd, who was sitting in the office, looked at the phone on the desk and kept chanting the name of JP Morgan CEO: "Jamie, Jamie, Jamie, Jamie..."
Lloyd knew he now needed to contact the CEO, who was also a professional manager.
For companies like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, which were first established in the 1860s, the founders are long gone and the CEOs are all professional managers.
There are people like Lloyd who rose from ordinary traders, and there are also people like Jamie who finally stood out due to inter-company mergers and acquisitions.
In fact, the flow of wealth in the Western capital world has taken a form that people cannot understand.
However, the general public and people of Wenliang level, including Lloyd, Jamie and others, do not know how many people are hiding behind the so-called 'Goldman Sachs Empire' and 'Morgan Empire' to control wealth. .
Lloyd finally picked up the phone and muttered helplessly to himself: "I didn't have a choice ten or twenty years ago, and I still have no choice now."
He actually envied business founders like Wen Liang.
Well...a successful, young, incredibly wealthy, almost unfettered business founder.
The difference with Wen Liang is that no matter how outstanding a CEO Lloyd is considered to be and how unattainable his annual salary and annual comprehensive income are, Lloyd himself knows very well that he was short of money ten or twenty years ago and is still poor now. .
Lloyd's personal wealth wasn't even to the point where he thought he no longer had to worry about money.
Although this is due to the inflated desires that come with taking charge of a financial empire like Goldman Sachs, there is no other way. A lack of money means a lack of money.
Lloyd picked up the landline phone and looked out the window at the Hudson River. The wind blew up a corner of a pile of materials on the desk, and there were some astonishing numbers on it.
Displaying the total amount of Wen Liang’s public donations...a figure of cash assets that Lloyd has never reached.
Lloyd knew very well that Wen Liang wanted them to take the lead in pushing CME Group to launch Bitcoin futures trading for the sake of better value circulation.
Commonly known as cutting leeks.
Only a large institution like CME Group can make ordinary investors around the world flock in and push Bitcoin to another level.
On the other hand, if you want to suppress or balance the gains of Bolang Group in Bitcoin, you also need such a hedging method.
Without contract trading, the rise and fall of Bitcoin will be the same as A-shares. You can only make money by going long, but not by going short.
According to multiple analyses, large fluctuations in the circulation value of Bitcoin will become a theme over a long period of time.
Even if there is only a circulating market value of US$5 billion, if the daily amplitude exceeds 100%, the profits will be so high that global financial giants will join forces to trample all rules.
In the current situation, rather than letting some unpopular platforms whose credibility and ability to support operational timeliness be used to define Bitcoin futures trading, it would be better for CME Group to come forward.
CME Group, the full name of Chicago Mercantile Exchange, was formed from the merger of Chicago Mercantile Exchange and Chicago Board of Trade.
The pre-merger Chicago Board of Trade was a leading futures and options exchange.
Today, trading ranges include interest rates, foreign exchange, agricultural and industrial products, energy, and other derivatives such as weather indices.
It is the most active exchange in the world.
An average of 10 million contracts are traded every day, with a turnover of over US$5 trillion.
It can be said that if Bitcoin futures trading is listed on the CME Group, it means that the trading volume will be amplified to the world.
Hunting Bolang, Goldman Sachs couldn't refuse.
Goldman Sachs also cannot refuse the benefits.
After the call was connected, Lloyd asked bluntly: "Jamie, what are your thoughts?"
He knew that these professional managers who were in charge of a certain financial empire must have communicated with Wen Liang long ago, and it was almost unnecessary to think about the direction of the communication.
Jamie's tone was relaxed: "Do we have a better solution?"
"I can't refuse." Lloyd was helpless.
Finally, Lloyd asked: "How many spot Bitcoins do you hold?"
Jamie said slowly: "We are not very optimistic about spot holdings, because the loss rate of Bitcoin has been relatively high before, and the actual circulation quantity is only about 85% of the theoretical circulation value, and those may even be permanently lost."
"How many?"
"100,000 pieces."
"About 1%?"
"right."
"Jamie...how much do you think BL-IIB holds, and how much do you think it will hold?"
"I guess BL-IIB holds more than 5%, maybe more than 10%?"
Lloyd suddenly sighed: "The future of the decentralized virtual currency market is huge!"
"Perhaps the focus of BL-IIB is to issue new virtual currencies." Jamie said with a firm tone, "As for it, it is probably long and cash out. You must have been paying attention to it for a long time."
Lloyd did not deny it: "It is the personal financial market leverage tool of the co-founder of Bolang Group. Every time he makes a move, he will make huge profits. Hidden in the shadow of Bolang Group, the profit has exceeded 10 billion US dollars."
"BL-IIB should have some traders who came from this company, and their market manipulation acumen is very high."
Jamie instead said: "I guess not. The trading execution requirements are not high. With the ability that BL-IIB currently displays, it does not need support."
"Let's make money together, Mr. Lloyd."
Lloyd said nothing: "..."
He doesn't have the ability to refuse.
I can neither resist the temptation brought by interests nor the concept of market.
Even though the conflict between Bolang and Goldman Sachs seems to be irreconcilable, and Goldman Sachs has suffered serious losses recently because of Bolang.
But no one can live with the benefits obtained.
Not Goldman Sachs.
What they need to do most now is to run as fast as possible and get ahead of everyone!
As for the BL-IIB they talk about, in addition to geniuses like Wan An and Zheng Qi, at this stage, the most peripheral members are all starting with master's degrees.
All members have nothing to do with asset management companies named in overseas markets.
Bolang Group has always been good at physical isolation.
At most, all important matters will be summarized and reported to the highest level.
…………
Less than an hour after the Xinghai official account updated the news, Bitcoin skyrocketed to US$1,000 per coin in an unstoppable manner.
It will soon be equal to the value of gold.
Of course, the unit of measure of gold value here is 1 ounce of gold in the overseas market, which is currently about $1,250.
The main hot spot on global social networks has been completely dominated by Bitcoin.
Countless celebrities and celebrities have expressed their opinions through their favorite social platforms.
For example, Elon, who has been considered a good storyteller by Wall Street this year, Tesla’s Elon, and Elon Musk.
He happily joined in the fun and tweeted: "Tesla will try to accept Bitcoin payment for Model X in online orders."
Tesla’s market value exceeded US$20 billion this year.
It's Wall Street's new favorite.
Most of the credit goes to Elon, the storyteller.
Now this one tells several stories than one tweet. First of all, Tesla currently only sells the Model S. The Model
To be honest, Elon has always been the leader in the field of cutting leeks.
Like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan, they all cut leeks through analysts, analysis of research reports, etc. Elon is not like that. He is similar to Depp, and they all cut leeks directly by tweeting.
In the post-era era after Depp was banned from Twitter, Elon has almost become the second Depp, often pushing a certain financial product to rise or fall with a short tweet.
There are also players with a clear stand like Elon.
Among them, there are even bigger ones.
For example, Amazon also stated through official channels that it will further try to accept Bitcoin payment transactions, and eBay, another e-commerce platform, also made a similar statement.
They have all previously expressed their acceptance of Bitcoin payment transactions on a small scale through some actions.
Then the notorious Anonymous hacker group announced that it would only accept payments in Bitcoin in the future.
It’s the hacker organization that claims to be the largest in the world and has been at odds with Xingchen since the Xingchen system was launched last year.
So far, there has been no technical means to keep up with the iteration and optimization of the Star System.
All published vulnerabilities are indicated to have been fixed in new versions.
I feel like I'm going to be pissed off.
This statement aroused strong dissatisfaction among some liberal people and set off a small-scale war of words.
"The wider use of Bitcoin will further promote the occurrence of crime, and it must be banned!"
This is quite extreme.
"It must be regulated to fund terrorist acts. This is a greater evil."
This is relatively peaceful.
"As long as currency circulates, it cannot be used for crime. Anonymity is indeed a double-edged sword, but it can also help us avoid ubiquitous prying eyes. The prism always makes me uneasy."
This is something no one is behind the scenes and no one believes.
However, such remarks soon ushered in a formal statement from the authorities.
The famous FBL and CIA have successively stated that they will carry out a large-scale cleanup operation, and they also expressed it in a "humorous" manner. For details, please refer to the fate of the dark web "Silk Road"... This was destroyed a little earlier in October.
cybercriminal organization.
…………
One day later, on the 23rd, the value of a single Bitcoin officially exceeded the value of gold, reaching as high as US$1,303 per coin, and the total theoretical market value exceeded US$27.3 billion.
The circulating market value also exceeds US$15 billion.
In the past 22nd, the daily trading volume exceeded 500 million US dollars, and the activity was very impressive.
About the afternoon of Eastern Time, rumors spread from overseas networks that Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Wells Fargo and other institutions may join forces to push Bitcoin to the CME Group.
As soon as the news came out, the value of Bitcoin skyrocketed again.
Almost at the same time, the America California branch of Xinghai’s official website announced:
Three products, XingHai1c, XingHaiWindow, and XingHaiStudio, support full payment via Bitcoin.
The value of Bitcoin is determined by linking market dynamics like an exchange rate.
During the actual purchase of goods outside the Mainland, if you use a RMB credit card to pay, you will find that the exchange rate is slightly different from the real-time exchange rate.
This is the form...
No one expected that the pilot project of Xinghai would come so quickly.
Compared with the current imperfect Bitcoin trading platform construction and the increasingly high value of handling fees charged for each transaction, the direct shopping method is more attractive.
Moreover...most of the people who currently have a large number of Bitcoins on hand are programmers, and they prefer to tinker with electronic products.
As a result, related orders from the California branch quickly exploded.
However, there is nothing displayed on the Xinghai official website, except that the estimated delivery time after payment is increased by one day. Based on America's shipping development, local dispatching of goods can only take one day at most.
Stimulated by two big pieces of news, the value of Bitcoin quickly rose to $1,400.
The whole world is going crazy.
What’s crazy is that currently, more than a dozen of the world’s top Bitcoin trading platforms have all been bought into by various financial giants, followed by rapid and unimaginable integration.
This further strengthened investor confidence.
During this process, Bolang International Investment Bank, which has recently become the most popular in the global financial circle, also took action and integrated a decentralized virtual currency trading platform called DAO.
That's right, it's the DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) of the Decentralized Autonomous Organization.
The attitude clearly shows that Bolang International Investment Bank will actively support all decentralized virtual currency circulation transactions.
These various behaviors are all typical examples of endorsing Bitcoin transactions.
That night, Eastern Time, when Bitcoin stood firm at $1,450, a mysterious organization shared a simpler program for mining through NVIDIA graphics chips through open source community platforms including GitHub.
"This software will maximize the use of the performance of the NVIDIA graphics chip for calculations and assist in synchronization. The computing performance it exerts is the best among all similar software at present. The best-fitting graphics chip is the GTX600 series..."
This software has swept the world at an unimaginable speed.
It quickly aroused high praise.
“Super easy to use!”
"Super efficient, this is the program truly designed for mining!"
“As expected of NVIDIA!”
“Great program!”
"..."
Previously, due to the special method of Bitcoin mining, AMD graphics cards had a slight advantage in simplicity over NVIDIA graphics cards, but that is not the case now. NVIDIA is NVIDIA after all.
For a time, in addition to speculating around Bitcoin, there were also more and more people who wanted to be the lucky one who made huge profits without any capital.
With deliberate fueling, the term mining card was officially released and was directly associated with AMD and NVIDIA.
Two consecutive days of super Bitcoin carnival.
No one knows how many people have made profits in the past two days and how long this carnival will last.
Just like no one can trace the whereabouts of every Bitcoin.
Everyone only knows that the market with a total transaction volume of only 500 million US dollars yesterday has increased tenfold today, and it is not over yet!
Obviously, all the financial giants are gone.
and……
What is not known is that the new mining software that has been praised by countless people around the world was developed by Bolang Labs and cost more than 3.5 million yuan, not including labor costs.

There is only one chapter left today. As for why Bolang did this, that is the story to be told in the next chapter.
