Story 1

In his 20s, Xiao Wei, a single young man, liked the kind of movies for boys, and he also built a paid community, where VIPs were eligible to watch more good movies. There was a programmer in the community who said he wanted to spend 3,000 bitcoins to buy community VIP status. Peter Bi? What is Peter Bi? My VIP costs hundreds of dollars a year. Xiao Wei ignored it. But are programmers vegetarians? He harassed Xiao Wei 24 hours a day, and did all kinds of things to cheat him. Xiao Wei couldn't get enough of it, so he mailed the hard drive to him. The programmer was honest, and he transferred 3,000 coins to Xiao Wei and taught him how to mine. Although Xiao Wei looked confused, he passively accepted it. But he forgot about it after it happened. After experiencing all kinds of hardships in life, Xiao Wei is still clean after 9 years. One night, Xiao Wei suddenly remembered this and rummaged through boxes to find the key! Everyone can guess what happened next. After paying 40,000 yuan an hour, Xiaowei, who had been poor for more than 30 years, bought 10 houses in Shenzhen and is currently looking for a wife. He doesn't want to live on porn anymore. But he still misses the programmer brother he met that year.

Story 2

The protagonist of this story is called "Brother 480,000". On January 28, 2014, he posted a thread on the Bitcoin forum, saying that he used the 480,000 yuan that his family had saved for seven or eight years to buy 100 bitcoins. In the thread, he said proudly: "I look forward to making a lot of money, buying a house in full, and if I'm lucky, I can also change my car." Afterwards, all netizens witnessed his daily ups and downs: "It fell by 10 yuan." "After returning from the holidays, it rose slightly by 40 yuan, and I made about 4,000 RMB, which is much higher than the bank interest." "I won't sell it in the short term unless it doubles." (Some people kept commenting and saying that he was "dreaming!") Who knew that soon negative news came out frequently, and news such as the country not recognizing the value of the currency, the platform closing, and the boss running away came one after another. Bitcoin fell from more than 8,000 yuan to more than 2,000 yuan, and "Brother 480,000" was ridiculed by people in the forum. By January 2015, "Brother 480,000" had become "Brother 60,000", and some people said that he was reminded of PetroChina. At this time, "Brother 480,000" had come less and less. In January 2016, two years later, Bitcoin was around 3,000 yuan, and he could no longer hold on and sold his shares. "I bought a house." "Brother 480,000" never appeared again, but people's attention to "Brother 480,000" has never stopped. Now there are more than 10,000 comments on his post, and someone even wrote a novel based on his story.

Story 3

The experience of Lao Zheng (pseudonym) is a typical example of how blockchain benefits mankind. In 2015, Lao Zheng bought 5 bitcoins at a price of 1,000 yuan, spending a total of 5,000 yuan. Because it has been sideways, he didn't take it seriously. He just left it there and almost forgot about it. Two years later, Lao Zheng's father suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm, which cost him a lot of money and led to bankruptcy. Lao Zheng took out his last savior - 5 bitcoins, sold 4 at the highest point, got 420,000 yuan, and kept one bitcoin as a souvenir. The 420,000 was all used to treat his father's illness, which would take about two years. Although he still has to find a way to make money two years later, he is already very fortunate, "Thanks to my impulsiveness at the time, otherwise I can only sell the house and car now."

Story 4

For 7,500 bitcoins, he raised 7.4 million pounds to beg the government to let him dig up the landfill. Yes, this unlucky guy is the British boy Howell. In February 2009, IT engineer Howell began to mine with his Dell computer. Over the years, Howell saved 7,500 bitcoins. Because the value of bitcoin did not increase much, he stopped mining, and in 2013, he dismantled the old computer and sold it, leaving only the hard drive, because he was still hoping: what if it went up? In the summer of 2013, when he was cleaning up, he accidentally put the hard drive into the unclassified trash can at the door of his house. Soon, bitcoin soared. Howell, who regretted it, found several "shareholders" in December 2017, raised 7.4 million pounds to give to the government, and asked to dig up the landfill. Despite his repeated requests, the government still refused. The reason is that digging may be accompanied by serious environmental pollution and may also detonate dangerous gases. Howell was furious, but he could do nothing. Until now, 7,500 bitcoins are still sleeping under a 400,000-ton landfill in the UK.

Story 5

This is probably the most classic joke in the Bitcoin industry besides two pizzas. In 2011, Xiao Zhuzi, a junior student, received her scholarship for the first time. She added some savings to 6,000 yuan and wanted to invest, but she didn't know the way. So she asked a question on Zhihu. Soon, someone replied to her: "Buy Bitcoin, save the wallet file, and then forget that you have 6,000 yuan. See again in five years." The expert who suggested that students buy Bitcoin was Chang Qia, the founder of Babbitt. Most people don't take online replies so seriously, not to mention that Xiao Zhuzi is a cautious person. She also roughly looked up what Bitcoin is. At that time, the price of Bitcoin was 3 US dollars. She didn't understand it very well and had no interest. Unexpectedly, there was a good way to manage money. Xiao Zhuzi took the 6,000 yuan and went to Hangzhou and other places with her friends. Due to minor accidents such as allergies and fake attractions, the trip was not very pleasant. A few years later, the price of Bitcoin skyrocketed. Everyone liked Chang Qia's reply, and now there are nearly 30,000 likes and more than 6,000 comments. At the same time, people kept asking her: "Bitcoin is already worth tens of thousands, did you buy it? How is it now?" After learning that she didn't buy it, people kept asking her "Do you regret it?" "If I were the person I am now, I would definitely buy it. If I were still the person I was then, I think I would still make the same choice as I did seven years ago." Xiao Zhuzi said.

Story 6

This friend got in touch with Bitcoin relatively early, but he didn’t make much money from Bitcoin, just a little more than his salary. But fortunately, one day, he came into contact with a foreign consortium, which invested in him and asked him to expand, and he embarked on a path of success. In the end, he developed 300,000 professional mining machines, and the power consumption was so high that the place where he lived did not provide him with electricity, so he had to move to a more remote place. He owns one-third of the 300,000 mining machines, and his income is seven figures a day. He has now immigrated and started to invest in other industries, mainly helping local tycoons from all over the world transfer assets, you know.

Story 7

In 2013, Lin Shiyi was still a high school student. When he was repairing a mobile phone, he heard the shop owner talking about Bitcoin, saying that it was "very valuable". After returning home, he learned some information sporadically on the forum. By the end of 2013, the price of Bitcoin had become more than 1,000 US dollars, but it soon fell again. The boy's heart was greatly shaken, and a vague shadow was buried. When he applied for college entrance examination, he applied for economics. It was not until his junior year that the professor talked about Bitcoin in his lecture. Lin Shiyi paid attention to it again and took out the accumulated 20,000 scholarship to go all in. Later, when it increased by more than ten times, he took action. Because the money came too easily, he ate, drank and had fun with his classmates and girlfriend, and paid the down payment for a house in his hometown, and the money became 20,000 again. After 2018, he entered the market again and mortgaged his house, but finally lost everything. "It was nothing more than a blind cat catching a dead mouse before. What can I do?" Lin Shiyi thought. Now he is in debt and his girlfriend has run away. He refused the professor's advice and help for postgraduate entrance examination. A few months after graduation, he forgot about the past and worked steadily as an analyst.
