Chapter 365: Rare things are more valuable (at least 720.01 million)
"Shujie, come up and take a look." Cheng Xiaolin urged him.
Seeing her husband's calm demeanor, Cheng Xiaolin felt anxious for him.
"Honey, it's useless for you to urge me. Cutting production is beyond our control," Cao Shujie said.
He told the truth, but he didn't listen.
Cheng Xiaolin said: "Hurry up and log in to your account to see if the Bitcoin in your account has also been reduced by half."
Cao Shujie was speechless when he heard what his wife said. His wife's idea was really unusual. Just thinking about it, he knew that such a thing was impossible.
If you are asked to take out half of the money that you already have in your pocket, no one will agree.
"Nonsense, it means the mining of new blocks will be halved in the future." Cao Shujie said.
Cheng Xiaolin didn't understand, she yelled: "Shujie, don't talk nonsense, please log in to your account quickly and take a look."
"Okay, I'll log in right now, don't rush me." Cao Shujie waved to his wife.
Cheng Xiaolin had already turned on her computer and even opened the browser, waiting for her husband to open the BTC trading system platform and log in.
Cao Shujie is already very proficient in this method. He has no problem entering his account number and password by blind typing on the keyboard with his eyes closed.
Click to log in, and soon his personal account and the trend of BTC appeared on the page.
Cheng Xiaolin pulled her husband aside. She sat at the computer desk and looked at the information on the computer screen carefully.
I saw that the current single price of Bitcoin has risen to 13.27 US dollars.
Cheng Xiaolin looked at this number and thought for a long time: "Shujie, when did the price go up again?"
Cao Shujie was confused by the question and didn't know how to answer his wife.
He said: "It must have increased in the past few months. We have been busy and haven't paid attention to it."
When Cheng Xiaolin thought that this was the case, she didn't care about the price. She first looked at the number of Bitcoins in her husband's account, which showed a total of 33,902.
"Shujie, how many coins did you have before?" Cheng Xiaolin asked him. She had already forgotten.
Cao Shujie looked at his wife who looked a little naive now, and he really wanted to slap her awake.
"Honey, I bought so many last year, but I didn't buy any this year. Are you relieved now?" Cao Shujie looked at her angrily.
"Aha!" The expression on Cheng Xiaolin's face was a little embarrassed. She just now realized that she might have done something very stupid just now, and she didn't dare to turn her head to look at her husband.
Inadvertently, out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a smile on her husband's face. Cheng Xiaolin became angry: "Shujie, are you laughing at me?"
"No way, my wife is so smart..." It's okay if Cao Shujie doesn't say smart. As soon as he mentions this word, Cheng Xiaolin feels that this is his naked irony.
She directly started to scratch her husband, but this behavior was tantamount to a sheep in a wolf's mouth and would not end well.
Cao Shujie also told his wife: "Keep your voice down, don't let Mengmeng hear it."
About half an hour later, the couple changed into new clothes and began to calculate the value of the Bitcoin held by Cao Shujie as if nothing had happened.
After finishing the calculation, Cheng Xiaolin's face flashed with joy: "Husband, it's more than 3 million."
But this surprise was fleeting. For them now, the 3 million is not enough to sell strawberries for a season.
But compared to the 600,000 her husband invested at the time, the income from this thing is still very generous.
Cheng Xiaolin leaned next to her husband and asked curiously: "Husband, do you think the price of this product will continue to increase after the production reduction is completed?"
"No one can say for sure, but since it has rebounded and production has been reduced at this time, the quantity is small, and things are scarce and expensive. In theory, there will be more room for speculation now." Cao Shujie said.
He analyzed it from the perspective of human nature.
In the capital market, whether it is foreign or domestic, it is actually the same.
Cheng Xiaolin seemed to understand these words before, but now that she has communicated with Cao Shujie more, she also has some understanding of this aspect: "I understand what you said. If this is the case, it should be somewhat higher next year."
"Mom, what are you doing!" Mengmeng's voice came from downstairs.
Cheng Xiaolin quickly left her husband, and subconsciously arranged her clothes. When she found that the clothes were neat, she glared at her husband: "In broad daylight..."
"Don't you think it's better to do it in the daytime?" Cao Shujie said, "There is a word called Bai Rixuan..."
"Get out!" Cheng Xiaolin said angrily, her eyes flashing fiercely.
Cao Shujie was so frightened that he trembled all over and hurried downstairs to find his daughter.
Cheng Xiaolin looked at the BTC trading interface on the computer screen again. She didn't expect that this thing her husband bought last year had such potential.
Even based on her husband's original investment, the increase was five times, and the profit was staggering!
But she also understands that this thing has huge fluctuations. It can drop from the highest price of more than 40 US dollars to the lowest price of more than 5 US dollars in just a few days. This risk is really not something that ordinary people can withstand.
Thinking of this, Cheng Xiaolin suddenly discovered that her husband's psychological endurance was really strong.
Why haven't you noticed it before?
"This bastard has such a good psychological quality?" Cheng Xiaolin complained about her husband.
…
In the living room downstairs, Cao Shujie played poker with his daughter.
Grandpa Cao Zhenghu felt a little tired and went back to his room to rest.
Mengmeng came close to her father, sniffed and asked, "Dad, what does it smell like on you?"
"What does it smell like?" Cao Shujie wondered.
Then he heard his daughter say: "No, it smells just like the fragrance on my mother's body."
Thinking of this, Mengmeng had a proud smile on her face as she discovered the truth. She pointed her finger at Cao Shujie and said, "Dad, are you secretly stealing Mom's fragrance?"
"I secretly wiped my butt." This is what Cao Shujie complained in his heart.
But on the surface, he looked at Mengmeng with admiration, raised his thumbs up, and said at the same time: "Mengmeng, you are so smart, you have discovered all this."
"Humph, I'm not stupid to begin with. I want to tell my mother that you can secretly apply her fragrance." Mengmeng stopped playing poker and turned around and ran towards the second floor.
While running, he shouted: "Mom, let me tell you something."
Cao Shujie wanted to hug his daughter, but he had no time to react. Seeing his daughter running upstairs with her legs crossed, Cao Shujie thought to himself: "Mengmeng, why is your memory so good?"
Not to mention how lively it was upstairs, Cao Shujie looked at the time and realized it was almost time for lunch, so he hurried to the kitchen to cook.
…
Cao Shujie seems to be indifferent to the issue of Bitcoin production reduction and doesn’t have much feeling.
But in the Internet world at this time, there is very high attention and enthusiasm for this matter.
The issue of Bitcoin production reduction has become headline news on major portal platforms, especially the economic sections of some news portals, which introduce "Bitcoin" as soon as they are opened.
Its price dropped from the highest point of more than 40 US dollars in June to more than 5 US dollars in a few days, and then rebounded to 13 US dollars within 5 months. Counting from the bottom of the stage, it has tripled.
These big ups and downs, several times the rise and fall, can completely attract some bold gamblers who always want to get rich overnight to participate.
Just like Cao Shujie said to his wife, coupled with the reduction in Bitcoin production, the greedy side of human nature is completely exposed at this time.
No one thinks that they are the most unlucky at first, but more people think that they are the ones destined by fate.
Moreover, BTC has been in nearly 4 years from 2009 to now. Although it has encountered hacker attacks and other unexpected situations, it has still survived and is running better and better. This means that
It has been recognized by the market.
Because of this, more people are paying attention to him, and some people who were paying attention to him before but did not dare to participate now waved their tickets and rushed in boldly.
There is data on the Internet that shows that Bitcoin user activity has increased by 40% recently, which is a very high figure.
It also means more people are participating.
But its current basic market is so large, and its daily production capacity has been halved. With more people and less food, it is conceivable that its price will definitely rise.
Coupled with the fact that some people with ulterior motives are pushing things along, it seems that all the reasons for the rise are reasonable.
The falling snowflakes in the sky disappeared, and there were more and more people on the streets of Caojiazhuang. Everyone came out with shovels and brooms to clean the snow in front of their homes and on the streets, and to make a path first to make it easier to walk.
Cao Shujie, his wife, father, and mother worked together to clear out the snow from the entrance to the mountain.
Then he slowly cleaned up to the west, all the way to the street. After finishing his work, he was about to call it a day and go home. However, when he accidentally looked to the west, Cao Shujie saw two acquaintances busy there.
"Shujie, look, those are Director Ding and Sister Qiuling. They are also removing snow." Cheng Xiaolin said.
It snowed heavily today, so there was no school in the kindergarten. However, Ding Dezhong and Li Qiuling came over in advance to clean up the snow in the kindergarten to prevent the children from falling again when they come to school in two days.
"Let's go and clean up." Cao Shujie took the shovel and started shoveling the snow west again.
Wang Yuelan and her daughter-in-law Cheng Xiaolin also took brooms to sweep the snow in the middle of the road into the ditches on both sides.
Cao Jianguo walked directly to the kindergarten. When he came here, he shouted: "Old Ding, you and Xiao Li are the only ones working."
"Hey, Lao Cao, I didn't ask anyone else to come. I originally planned to finish it by myself. Teacher Li also came here by himself." Ding Dezhong said.
The little finger and ring finger of his right hand are each missing a digit. When he grasps the wooden handle of the shovel, he relies solely on his thumb, index finger and middle finger to hold it in place, making it very difficult to work.
The tiger's mouth was also rubbed red, and it looked like a layer of skin had been rubbed off.
"You rest first, I'll shovel for a while." Cao Jianguo said.
Ding Dezhong disagreed. He said: "I will work hard. There are more people and we can work faster. If it doesn't snow, we will let the children continue to go to school tomorrow."
"Son, I think you should contact a bulldozer to push the snow faster." Cao Jianguo remembered something and said.
Cao Shujie screamed strangely, he had forgotten this incident.
While talking, Cao Shujie began to contact Bulldozer, and the money came from the village committee's funds.
