Chapter 517 Cryptocurrency(2/2)
Lu Yiming blurted out: "How could I seek death?"
Li Yiwen immediately grasped the key point of Lu Yiming's words: "Wait a minute, you are not looking for death...who do you want to blame?"
Lu Yiming plausibly said: "What does it mean to find someone to take the blame? Am I that kind of person? It's just that I have a friend on the Internet. He has always wanted to pursue greater freedom and believes that this world is controlled by capital.
, is extremely unreasonable. I fully agree with his philosophy, so I gave him some small suggestions."
Li Yiwen was shocked and asked: "Could this friend of yours be Linus Benedikt Torvalds, the founder of VA Linux and the 'liberal pope' who claims to subvert the world?
?”
Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Yes, that's him."
After getting the answer, Li Yiwen could only sigh and said: "It's been eight lifetimes of bad luck for him to know you."
However, in fact, Linus Benedikt Torvalds did not feel that he was cheated by Lu Yiming at all. He and Lu Yiming had a lively chat on the dark web.
Facing the technical proposal that Lu Yiming had just sent, Linus Benedikt Torvalds was as excited as a three-year-old child who had just gotten a new toy. He couldn't wait to say to Lu Yiming: "You
This idea is really great! Let’s give it a try together!”
Faced with Linus Benedikt Torvalds's invitation, Lu Yiming refused without thinking.
"Although I really want to accomplish such a great thing with you - please believe that I really think so. I think you should also know my current situation. FBI people are hanging out outside my house every day, and my phone is always on
You were bugged, so now I can only contact you through the dark web."
"You know what? I really love this thing of mine, and I can't wait to make it a reality. You know, it's definitely epoch-making. But I don't want the United States to know, otherwise they
What is urine, I think you should know better than me."
"So I'm sorry, I have to entrust you with this great task. I hope we can cooperate happily, just like before."
"Satoshi Nakamoto" who invented Bitcoin in the previous life, why was "no such person found" until the end?
Isn’t it because cryptocurrencies are inherently rebellious and are meant to compete with other countries, especially those big countries with stable monetary systems, which are naturally full of disgust and rejection of cryptocurrencies and want to kill them.
quick.
A currency that is not issued by the government at all, is not subject to official supervision, and cannot be tracked and controlled by the government. No one in power will tolerate its existence.
And one can only imagine what the fate of the person who invented this currency would be if he dared to bubble it up.
Many people don't understand why Bitcoin is valuable and think it's just a drumbeat. In fact, they don't understand the essence.
The value of currency lies in its own circulation properties, and the financial system is something that all the mainstream powers in the world have a firm grip on. Therefore, some people need a currency that is not controlled by the existing financial system to replace it.
Complete asset transfer conveniently.
The value of cryptocurrencies is here.
That is to say, there is no Bitcoin yet, otherwise Lu Yiming would not need to go to so much trouble. The money he earned from shorting U.S. stocks would be converted directly into Bitcoin in the United States, and then sold back to Xia Country. The FBI would not use it.
However, precisely because cryptocurrency is so destructive to the existing financial system, Lu Yiming did not dare to get involved.
"That's really a shame."
Faced with Lu Yiming's rejection, Linus Benedikt Torvalds had no doubts.
Because Lu Yiming directly told him the core theory of this system, he could definitely recruit people to build this system.
And how powerful this thing is, he can see it with a skin swallow.
Could it be that Lu Yiming was able to give him such a good thing because Lu Yiming was doing charity?
Obviously not.
Then, there is only one last explanation left.
The two of them made a lot of money from their previous collaboration, and they have a solid foundation.
And Lu Yiming really can't do this now.
Linus Benedikt Torvalds developed a fondness for the FBI for the first time.
If the FBI hadn't been watching Lu Yiming closely, how could such a good thing have landed on him?
However, Lu Yiming did not know that Linus Benedikt Torvalds had filled up so many things in his own mind. In order to prevent Linus Benedikt Torvalds from giving birth to the child of "being attentive to nothing and being very kind".
Lu Yiming continued: "I have been free recently and plan to make an online payment software, but I don't have a clue yet. Do you want to give me some advice?"
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Yiming said this, Linus Benedikt Torvalds became even more convinced, and immediately said to Lu Yiming enthusiastically: "I know a few very powerful guys, and what they do is Confinity.
Those who specialize in this area, if you are interested, you can talk to them."
Then, he sent Lu Yiming's contact information.
Lu Yiming had never heard of the name of this company, so he was a little confused.
However, since it was Torvalds's recommendation, his strength must be strong. It would be okay to understand it first. He immediately printed out the information and said, "I'm going to pay him a visit now."
After turning off the computer, Lu Yiming put on his coat and prepared to go out. Li Yiwen said jokingly: "Why are you going? Are you planning to run away?"
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Why are you running? I came to the United States to cut leeks in an upright manner. Is there anything shameful about it? Anyway, I am idle now. I want to find a new project to invest in and earn some pocket money."
Li Yiwen frowned: "Have you started a new business again? As expected, you won't stop. Which company are you planning to short?"
Lu Yiming emphasized: "This time it is not short selling, it is value investing. Do you understand value investing?"
"Gone."
