Chapter 182 Bitcoin

"Here, read this again." Dad Pei said, clicking on an Excel document, which contained a financial report on Hot Chip.

"You see, the three giants of integrated circuits, Intel, Samsung and Qualcomm, and Qualcomm and Intel alone can bring 80 to 90 billion in revenue to the United States every year." Sighing, Dad Pei said with emotion: "You're jealous. If you just take a piece of this profit, you can feed tens of thousands of high-end engineers. With this kind of money, you can't do anything."

Wu Bin nodded, then looked at the companies behind the three giants, and found that they were still American, such as Texas Instruments, Nvidia, Broadcom, Micron and a large number of semiconductor companies.

"The dishes are already cold, so it won't be the same after eating."

At this time, Pei's mother came over and knocked on the door, but probably because Wu Bin was there, her tone was not very high.

"Okay, come right away." After Wu Bin finished speaking, he stood up and said to Dad Pei, "Thank you, uncle, for letting me gain experience."

"Come and see more if you like. It's good to have someone to chat with." Dad Pei nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let's go out to eat first, otherwise I will be the unlucky one if you leave."

"Hahaha."

Wu Bin couldn't help laughing and walked out of the study with his father Pei.

Pei's mother's cooking skills were still outstanding, and it was so delicious that Wu Bin ate two more bowls of rice than usual.

During the dinner, Wu Bin and Pei Jiamin each shared what they had seen and heard in college, and Pei's mother nodded and smiled frequently.

"belch……"

After quietly burping, Wu Bin looked at Pei's mother and said, "Auntie, the food you cook is more delicious than before."

"Really? I have indeed improved. You really know what you are talking about." After speaking, Pei's mother glanced at Pei Jiamin: "It's not like Minmin, who feeds her the same food."

"I also told you, Mom, your skills have improved, okay..." Pei Jiamin, who was suddenly lying down, sounded a little aggrieved.

"Really? Why don't I remember?"

"Before...just..." Pei Jiamin couldn't figure it out for a long time, but she still couldn't figure it out.

"Look, I can't tell you. I'll just say that my memory is okay." Pei's mother was very happy to win.

"I don't even know who is the biological child..." Pei Jiamin rolled her eyes at Wu Bin and muttered in a low voice.

While Pei's mother was clearing the table, Wu Bin chatted with Pei's father for a while about the chip issue, and then stood up and said goodbye at 8 o'clock: "Uncle, I have something to do at home today, so I will go back first."

"Hey, okay, welcome to play again next time." After speaking, Dad Pei stood up and prepared to see Wu Bin off.

"Uncle, just sit down. I will go back first and come to visit you again during the Chinese New Year." After saying this, Wu Bin walked to the door and put on his shoes.

"You should come and play more often when you have free time. I still have some information that I haven't shown you." Dad Pei said enthusiastically.

"Okay, I'll definitely come when you have time." After Wu Bin finished speaking, he waved to the three of them: "Then I'll go back first, see you uncle and aunt."

After closing the door, Wu Bin tightened his coat and took the elevator downstairs.

After returning home, Wu Bin went straight to his room and turned on the computer.

"Didi didi"

As soon as I opened QQ, the avatar on how to become strong without being bald started to beat like crazy.

[Master, I’m done. (Proud.jpg)]

【master? Haven't gotten up yet? (Secret observation.jpg)]

[Master, I just finished lunch, are you back? (Poor.jpg)]

…

Looking at the long list of messages, Wu Bin couldn't help but feel speechless for a while, and typed a line.

[Something happened, I came back late, are you in a hurry? 】

As soon as the message was sent, I immediately replied.

[No, no, I'm just a little nervous... I didn't do a very good job on the paper. (Shivering.jpg)]

[Just wait a moment and let me take a look. 】

After Wu Bin finished speaking, he clicked to accept the file, opened it and took a look.

10 minutes later……

I Eat Lemon: [Well, first of all, I’m sure you didn’t cheat. 】

【Wow! Master, are you really so sharp-eyed? (Super worship.jpg)】

[No...because if you can only get this level by cheating, you probably won't be able to go to college. 】

【……】

[Master, do you really want to be so direct? ? (crying.jpg)】

[Anyway, let me help you make a study plan first. I won’t stare at you or push you or anything. After all, this is what you have to learn. 】

[Then, I will give you another test in a few days. If you fail, I won’t waste my time with you. Is that okay? 】

【Okay...okay(trembling.jpg)】

[Okay, I will send you the study plan tomorrow. 】

[Okay, thank you, Master (hug your thigh.jpg)]

After finishing speaking, Wu Bin exited the dialog box and opened WPS. When he helped Pei Jiamin review before, he had systematically formulated a plan. It would definitely be more than enough for him. Wu Bin bet that this guy's college entrance examination score would definitely be no more than 100, and he might even fail.

After sending the improved version of the review plan to How to Be Strong Without Baldness, Wu Bin was about to open editplus, but his eyes fell on Bitcoin Miner, a Bitcoin mining program.

Generally speaking, people who have just changed their computers will have an idea, that is, install the highest-end games and try out the performance first.

Wu Bin is no exception. He just bought this laptop with extremely high configuration and wants to do something.

"Hey, 1070, why don't you go mine Bitcoin for fun?"

Li Yan said this after reading Wu Bin's computer configuration.

"Bitcoin? Is it the one that's so popular right now?"

"Yes, although there are professional mining machines now, but to test the graphics card, you can mine and play."

"It's interesting. Can you tell me more about it?"

Then, under Li Yan's narration, Wu Bin had a relatively detailed understanding of this virtual currency that made many people rich overnight.

Human society has evolved from ancient barter to currency transactions. Of course, there are many benefits, but it still has a fatal flaw, which is centralization.

Ordinary people cannot participate in currency issuance at all. To put it bluntly, if the central bank issues a large amount of currency, the value of the currency in your hands will continue to be diluted.

For example, in the legendary Zimbabwe, the maximum denomination of their domestic banknotes is 100 trillion!

But it only costs 20 yuan when converted into RMB.

It costs trillions just to take a bus to find out.

This is an example of explosive inflation, turning most of your property into waste paper in minutes.

The birth of Bitcoin was to solve this problem.

P2P network and decentralized payment system, these are the two core elements of Bitcoin.

The so-called P2P network is peer-to-peer, which means partner to partner.

For example, when you download a movie through iQiyi, the movie is transferred from the iQiyi server to your computer.

But if you download a movie from a P2P resource, you are downloading it from the computers of other P2P users who already have this movie resource. Similarly, others can also download your stuff from your computer.

It’s almost a shared concept.

In this way, the "currency" of Bitcoin will not be stored in a central server, but will be stored in hundreds of millions of computers around the world.

Since its issuance, in theory, no one can control the number of Bitcoins, and naturally it is impossible to mass-produce Bitcoins to manipulate the currency value.

After Wu Bin understood the birth and mechanism of Bitcoin, Li Yan continued to explain to him what mining is.
