Bitcoin crashed?

When he heard the news, Lu Zhou was confused.

Originally, he was going to use bitcoin to test whether the knife in his hand was fast, but before he could do it, the entire bitcoin market exploded on the spot, leaving only a piece of chicken feathers.

As for how he learned the news, it's also quite interesting.

The vast majority of those who lost were swallowed in their stomachs with lost teeth, and no matter how angry they were, they couldn't kill Wall Street, right?

Other players who lost a lot were more interesting, they came to Jinling directly by high-speed rail plane maglev, and found the Jinling Institute for Advanced Study with a banner of "return my hard-earned money", and directly blocked the gate.

Such a fuss did not scare the scientific research dogs inside, and many people even stood by the window to watch the excitement.

After all, the security guards in the research institute are not vegetarians, and the security captain led people to stand at the door, which looked like a wall from a distance. The murderous posture alone made the people at the door dare to wander outside, not daring to take a step forward.

However, compared to the calm researchers in the institute, the leaders of the park were not so calm, and when they heard that the gate of the Institute for Advanced Study was blocked, they were so frightened that they were almost not sent to the ICU for heart disease.

Almost the entire district police cars were dispatched, and those who didn't know thought they were engaged in some large-scale anti-terrorist exercise.

Originally, the document issued by the Central Bank of China in 17 years has set the tone that Bitcoin is a virtual commodity, denying its monetary status and prohibiting domestic financial institutions and payment institutions from providing tools to use and buy Bitcoin.

This kind of thing that wanders in the gray area is not supported in itself, and now it is still running to make trouble, pulling banners and taking videos, which is purely tired of being lively.

Without any discussion, as the police car arrived at the scene, all the people who blocked the door were detained, brought back to the bureau for registration, and asked one by one where they bought the coins.

Regardless of taking a ladder to buy abroad, those gray purchase channels without qualifications were quickly led by the special investigation team to raid their hometowns, and they didn't let go of any of them.

Then, something more interesting came, and the people who checked and checked the investigation suddenly found that something was wrong, how many people here were not special coin speculators?

Especially the ones who took the lead in making the most trouble, turned the communication equipment at home upside down, and could not find any traces of bitcoin transactions.

The head of the task force, who realized that the situation was wrong, immediately reported the news to his superiors.

In the end, people from the national security also joined the task force.

At this point, everything finally came to light.

The last time I cleaned up the spy network, there were still a few downlines that missed the net and didn't clean up, and after losing contact from North America, this time I took advantage of the turmoil in the bitcoin market to bring my own dry food to A.

I thought about making a fuss and then applying for a zz refuge, a paradise in the minds of good immigrants, but as soon as I showed up, I was served in a pot, and this time I probably had to sit in prison.

Sitting in his living room, after listening to the follow-up of the matter from Director Li's mouth, Lu Zhou shook his head and said.

"These people are crazy."

It's not me who is shorting Bitcoin, and it's not for me to protest that there is yarn.

Do you have what it takes to smash Wall Street?

He really couldn't figure out how long the brain circuits of these people were to put this cauldron on his head.

"You're still fine," Director Li took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "You haven't seen those owners who took people to smash the sales department because of the price reduction of the building next door." It's still a bit cultural to be able to play Bitcoin, and it's mild to pull a banner and write a big-character poster, but it's just a problem for your work. ”

Lu Zhou: "We don't have any trouble, but we are troublesome to you." ”

"Don't mention this kind of trivial matter," Director Li smiled and waved his hand, and said with a fluttering eyebrow, "You don't know how ugly the expression on that Vigas's face was at the Asia-Pacific Cyber Information Security Summit that ended in Shanghai yesterday." ”

"Vegas?"

Lu Zhou frowned, completely unable to remember where he had heard the name.

"I almost forgot that you didn't care about it...... That Vilagas is the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission," Mr. Lee said with a smile, "and you should understand when I say that." ”

The FCC is directly accountable to Congress, and Congress – and the Senate in particular represents the interests of America's big capitalists.

Clearly, Congress has a serious disagreement with the White House on the issue of communications security. Under the premise that the White House has not yet expressed its position on the cyber information security summit, Congress has sent personnel to participate in the summit through its own procedures.

As for the reason, it is also obvious, the poor performance of the US stock market has scared everyone.

After all, a certain president himself said that if the US stock market plummeted, the president should fly to the sun on a rocket.

Although Congress did not tie the president to the rocket to the sun, it has come to this point that it has been quite restrained without turning its face.

“…… But let's be honest, while digital currencies are unregulated and unflattering, as an attempt at decentralized finance, the fact that Bitcoin is falling so quickly is not necessarily a good thing for us. ”

After taking a sip of coffee, Lu Zhou, who was not very interested, replied casually: "Oh? ”

"Economic globalization is the trend of the times, but the contradiction is that when our international community has completed the transition from a bipolar world to a multi-level world, the monetary system of the international community has not changed substantially since World War II except for the exchange of collateral from precious metals to national credit."

"Not only that, but Keynesian economics has never gone out of style, and developed countries only need to export their inflation to the underdeveloped countries in a very simple way, so that others can bear the cost of prosperity for themselves."

"If we want to end this unequal exploitation, there is either a strong world central bank that sets monetary policy with the global economy as a whole. Either it is the birth of a world currency that is universally available, reliable enough, and free from the monetary policy interference of central banks, so that it can be self-regulated by the laws of the market, and can be freely bought by central banks as a hedge. ”

If we look at it from the perspective of time, the history of mankind is a process of decentralization, and the difference is only that this process is completed in a fierce conflict, or there is a slow gradual process.

In 1994, Kevin Kelly used bee colonies as an example in his book "Out of Control", thus proposing a distributed structure, which is probably the most intuitive embodiment of this spirit.

Unfortunately, Bitcoin and other digital currencies have continued this spirit, but they have not been able to fully implement it.

There is no real thing as a guarantee, not even a credit entity, and to put it bluntly, it is just a relatively difficult mathematical game, so it will be easily punctured after the birth of quantum computers.

Perhaps, a digital currency backed by a powerful credit entity would be more reliable. But then again, the characteristic of digital currency is that it is not controlled by the mainstream economy, and a digital currency guaranteed by a credit entity and fully controlled can still be considered a digital currency?

This is a rather paradoxical question.

Lu Zhou didn't know much about economics, and in comparison, senior sister and his sister were experts, so they just watched him quietly and pretended to be forced, and didn't speak.

It seemed that he was tired of bragging about it, Director Li finally stopped for a while, picked up the teacup from the table, took a sip, and moistened his throat.

However, just when Lu Zhou thought that he would change the subject, the old man did not have any warning, and said on a whim: "Do you think there is a possibility?" ”

Lu Zhou: "What is possible. ”

"Through quantum algorithms, to generate a digital currency based on quantum cryptography?"

For some reason, just as Director Li said this, the atmosphere in the living room suddenly fell a little silent.

Lu Zhou didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, and then quietly drank coffee.

Being stared at a little hairy, Director Li finally couldn't help but smile embarrassedly, and said with a dry cough.

“…… What are you looking at me for? Wasn't I curious, I just asked casually......"

Putting down the coffee cup in his hand, Lu Zhou reached out to pick up the teapot on the coffee table.

"I'll pour you a cup of tea."

Seeing that Lu Zhou was going to pour tea for himself, Director Li suddenly waved his hand and said with a flattered face.

"No, no, I haven't finished this cup yet, just pour it myself later."

Lu Zhou: "You're welcome, drink more hot water." ”

Director Li: "Hey! You're so kind, how embarrassing is that...... Eh, slow down, slow down, it's full...... It's all spilled! ”
