"It's okay to talk about money. Could it be that people like you and I are short of tens of millions of dollars?"
Elon Musk is full of ambitions and put forward a number, "One billion dollars, I want to invest one billion!"
"A billion dollars?!"
Qin Shou was also stunned, damn it, this Elon Musk is going to gamble.
One billion, 10 years ago, it was 10 billion RMB!
It can be regarded as one-tenth of one's own assets.
He also did not expect that Elon Musk would dare to make such a big bet that he would almost put all of Tesla's shares on it.
It is give me no success or give me death.
"With too little investment, what's the point of making money?"
Elon Musk laughed excitedly, just as Qin Shou maintained an enthusiastic attitude towards the domestic Internet.
Elon Musk also has a sense of the emergence of virtual currencies such as Bitcoin.
That's what it's like to make money!
There's no way this thing won't catch fire!
"Then let me join in, we will talk about the details later."
Of course, Qin Shou readily agreed. After all, 14 years later, there will be no accidents in the domestic virtual currency circle.
After all, Elon Musk made a lot of money using Bitcoin in his previous life.
Moreover, Qin Shou was very interested in cutting those foreigners' leeks.
As for the domestic speculators, Qin Shou feels that they are not worthy of sympathy.
Just like people who speculate in stocks, people who are busy eating have no time or money to speculate in stocks and coins.
Like the black swan event in 2014, it has cast a shadow over the entire currency circle.
, the world's largest bitcoin exchange at that time, almost all bitcoins were lost.
Including about 750,000 bitcoins in user trading accounts, and about 100,000 bitcoins held by Mt. Gox itself.
Known as the "Mentougou Incident" in history.
Mt. Gox applied for bankruptcy protection to the Tokyo District Court on the same day, and it has been accepted.
According to the trading market on the 28th, the loss amounted to about 467 million US dollars. It was also a year in which the price of Bitcoin continued to fall.
In order to seize the opportunity in the bull market, people are switching from Bitcoin to other altcoins.
More people chose the faster and cheaper Ethereum and Litecoin. In March 2017, Ethereum and Litecoin skyrocketed respectively, while the market share of Bitcoin declined rapidly.
With the development of the ICO craze, many ICO currencies have allowed early participants to obtain returns of 30 times, 50 times or even higher.
So under the temptation of money, the participating crowd gradually evolved into various speculators, ranging from aunts in their 50s and 60s, to students in their 18s and 19s.
Because most people don't read the content written in the white paper at all, the level of ICO project parties has become more and more uneven, and there are constant air coins and pyramid schemes.
?The threshold of ICO has also become available to everyone because of the strong domestic industrial chain.
White papers on Taobao can cost thousands of dollars to package a high-level blockchain concept.
After having the white paper, it is necessary to build a high-end website so that some people and media with a little Internet awareness can obtain information, and it only costs a few thousand yuan.
Put some celebrity platforms on the homepage of the official website. As for whether it is true or not, no one cares at all.
The price of Bitcoin rose by 1900% in 2017 from $1,000 at the beginning of the year to a peak of $19,875, and then began to fall all the way. But crazy speculators still don't think that the bull market is over, and they are still "copying the bottom".
Bitcoin fell from 19,000 to 15,000 all the way to around 3,000.
"I am confident that our cooperation will be successful."
Elon Musk nodded and hung up the phone.
He knew that since Qin Shou became interested in Bitcoin, some things would become more logical.
If you want to speculate on Bitcoin, in addition to the government's endorsement, you need a lot of funds to expand the market rapidly.
Just like stock trading, people who practice this thing must have confidence in Bitcoin.
You can only have one thought in your head.
That is, I bought this bitcoin, and I made it!
It's a crazy marketing tactic.
In history, there have been some speculations about Tibetan mastiffs, and the most expensive pure-blood Tibetan mastiffs have been hyped to four or five million a head in one breath.
And it is priceless.
As well as national flowers such as peonies, which cost tens of thousands of yuan a piece, the prices were raised one after another by merchants until the bubble burst.
When people suddenly realize that this thing is actually worthless.
The information is already out of date.
People who were really kept in the dark and paid money out of their pockets.
Only those latecomers who entered the market later and fantasized about making money.
Holding the thunder in hand, the first contact is the safest.
On the contrary, the further back you enter the minefield, the greater the risk factor.
This example may not be exact either.
Just like being a woman.
The later you take the order, the more dangerous it is.
Do you know how many love stories she once thought she could sing and cry about, until the sea was dry and the rocks were dead, and the sun and the moon were dark.
For this type of woman, you don't need to be emotionally involved at all, because the more you do, the more useless they are, and the more they will feel that their previous feelings are more sincere.
Even habitually, your kindness to her automatically overrides your previous feelings, and you become more fanatical and passionately intoxicated in your own world.
The same is true for currency speculation.
Without the support of the real economy, most people who are willing to enter the zone later are deceived by the previous financial stock market and businessmen's hype.
I really thought that others could be successful, and after I entered the circle, I could also achieve great achievements.
They won't understand what regret is until it really collapses.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Shou hugged Yu Feihong and talked slowly.
Yu Feihong was very interested in the Bitcoin mentioned by Qin Shou, and couldn't help but said: "~Honey, what is Bitcoin?"
Recently, she also found a lot of businessmen in the celebrity circle, talking and exchanging about this currency.
Some people have already started to enter the circle to buy.
But not many people bought it, and everyone just watched it as a crowd.
At this time, Yu Feihong listened to Qin Shou exchanging bitcoin questions with others.
(decent) For a while, I was also a little curious.
"A type of virtual currency."
Qin Shou smiled lightly and said: "This thing is not really worth much, the key is that it is rare. You think it is worth one dollar, but others think it is not bad to buy it for two dollars, so the price has been hyped up like this."
"What if I buy it for three dollars and sell it for five dollars?"
Yu Feihong smiled, but still didn't understand why others don't know the price of this thing, so why pay far more than the original price to buy it?
"What if I buy the bitcoin you got for a hundred dollars?"
Qin Shou said casually: "When you earn $100, someone else buys it with $1,000. If you think about it carefully, have you lost 900 yuan invisibly?"
Listening to Qin Shou's explanation, Yu Feihong immediately came to his senses, and couldn't help being surprised, "Even if this thing is backed by capital, it's not a dream to sell it for US$10,000!
