Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 866 The Chinese Dragon Hunting Team

Chen Mo looked at the contents of the hard drive and fell into memories.

I vaguely remember that when I bought it, Bitcoin was only $0.5 each, so cheap it was practically free.

At that time, no one realized the value of this item, let alone imagined that it would later become the item with the most exaggerated price increase in the world, if not the only one.

Otherwise, the anecdote of someone spending 1 Bitcoins to buy only a pizza wouldn't have happened.

Back then, in order to buy this piece of junk, I had to bypass the Great Firewall and register an overseas account. I spent a whole month of my spare time working on it, which really took a lot of effort.

At this moment, how much of the Bitcoin that was bought for 7 million seven years ago is actually on this seemingly ordinary old hard drive?
The answer is: 923 million!
In the current Chinese cryptocurrency community, people like Justin Sun, who hold thousands or tens of thousands of Bitcoins, are hailed as big shots. But in Chen Mo's eyes, they are all just small fry.

He could even imagine that if that guy saw that string of numbers, he'd probably wet himself in fear.

Based on current market prices, each Bitcoin is worth $4000. Therefore, this hard drive would be worth a staggering $369.23 billion (approximately 2473.85 billion RMB).

A more intuitive conversion using formulas: This hard drive ≈ 0.3 times the size of the headquarters of [Company Name] ≈ 0.75 times the size of Alibaba ≈ 1.25 times the size of Tencent ≈ 3 times the size of Baidu…

Of course, Chen Mo knew that this was just a theoretical estimate. If he were to actually sell all of it, the Bitcoin market would collapse instantly, and the Bitcoin would become worthless.

There must be a market manipulator controlling this, otherwise there wouldn't be so few in circulation. Scarcity drives up prices, and only in this way can this numbers game continue.

The bounty website that Chen Mo is browsing right now uses a currency that is not money in the conventional sense, but rather a currency that is also anonymous and decentralized—the stuff on Chen Mo's hard drive.

He hadn't really thought about how to use this thing before, since he wasn't short of money and originally just wanted to keep it as a souvenir.

Now, he has the answer.

Just as Chen Mo was about to issue the bounty, he suddenly frowned and stopped.

He originally intended to use this platform to post a bounty on someone who had flown into the sky and their family members.

After all, netizens say they are a family of loyal martyrs, so let them live up to that reputation.

He stopped because his programmer genes kicked in; he couldn't just look at the surface to solve the problem, as that only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.

He recalled a Weibo post he'd seen a few days earlier: "Years have passed without results, but I will continue to strive, believing in a righteous heart, believing that there is justice, law, and a just court! [Praying]"

The criminal's mother was imprisoned and dared not return to China, but instead lived a carefree life abroad, using the stolen money to act as a filial son online.

My justice is utterly worthless!

You want justice, huh? Well, I'll be your justice!

Completely refactoring the code is unrealistic; we can only perform localized optimizations.

He pulled out his black notebook and wrote in large letters on the latest page: "Dragon Hunting Group" Bounty Plan.

"In recent years, given the extravagant spending of some 'elite fly' individuals and their children (codename: Dragon People), luxury cars, yachts, and luxury goods have become standard features, and they even coordinate internal and external transfers of assets."

Therefore, on August 28, 2017, the "Dragon Hunting Team" was established.

Through a bounty mechanism, with massive amounts of Bitcoin as rewards, evidence of the crimes committed by the "Dragon People" and their protectors is collected, details of their extravagant lifestyles are exposed, and the ultimate goal of "liquidation" is achieved.

"Let such groups live in long-term fear, curb their extravagant spending, and deter them from voluntarily returning to their home countries to surrender."

That evening, a post suddenly became the top post on a foreign bounty website forum, and its popularity exploded:

Bounty levels and amounts:
Dragon-level (10 Bitcoins): Core Dragon People with huge amounts of unexplained assets and extravagant behavior, who have a significant impact on the industry or society.

Tiger Level (1 Bitcoins): A heavyweight Dragon Man, who has long indulged in extravagance, uses his family's power for personal gain, and is a core member of the group.

Wolf-level (1000 Bitcoins): Direct relatives or collateral relatives of the Dragon Man, who enjoy a luxurious lifestyle, abuse resources, and whose assets have unclear origins.

Dog Level (100 Bitcoins): Those who provide convenience for Dragon People, including brokers, asset managers & nominees, event organizers, etc.

Bounty Rules:

1. Bounty tasks are valid indefinitely until completed. The bounty amount will be dynamically adjusted based on changes in the target's influence and fluctuations in the cryptocurrency market.

2. There is no limit to the number of recipients; the first team or individual to complete the task will be considered the recipient.

3. Submitting false information or malicious defamation is strictly prohibited. Once discovered, participants will be permanently disqualified and added to a blacklist.

4. All submitted clues, evidence, and results must be verified and settled by the "Dragon Hunting Tribunal".

5. Accepting the quest is considered joining the "Huaxia Dragon Hunting Team" and becoming a hunter.

Hunter promotion incentive mechanism:
Divided into four levels: Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow, corresponding to bounty levels, with a world ranking updated daily.

The higher the level, the more generous the extra buff rewards.

Hunters of Earth rank (and above) who fail to complete the quest within the specified period will face a rank reduction penalty.
The specific performance appraisal system is as follows:
Payment method: No deposit required upon acceptance of the task; 30% deposit (after verification of evidence); 70% balance upon completion of the task.

Information provision reward mechanism:

Providing direct evidence that the source of huge overseas assets (such as real estate, luxury cars, luxury goods, etc.) is illegal or irregular will earn you a reward of 10% of the corresponding target's assets upon verification.

Exposing details of extravagant lifestyles overseas (such as videos of lavish parties, exorbitantly priced receipts, and records of illegal and disorderly conduct) that attract widespread public attention and create public pressure will earn a reward of 3%-5% upon confirmation. Providing clues about the use of family influence to seek illicit gains or harm the public interest will earn a reward of 1%-3% depending on the importance of the clues.

Task settlement method: This will be indicated after the task is published.

If it is a "spiritual cleansing," the source of the funds will be investigated, illegal assets will be seized, and the person will be repatriated to China in any manner that does not matter. This will be considered a completion of the process.

If it is a "physical liquidation," the source of the funds must be identified and illegal assets seized. DNA samples and on-site video footage must be submitted (to prevent impersonation fraud).

The Dragon Hunters' Creed: "We are neither heroes nor thieves, but merely agents of divine punishment."

Leader of the "Chinese Dragon Hunting Team": Heaven's Way!

After the post was published, it attracted the attention of countless talented and extraordinary people. After reading it, everyone felt respect for the guy named Tiandao behind it.

The top bounty is 10 bitcoins, which is equivalent to 4 million US dollars!
This guy is a real tycoon!
Who has ever seen such an arrogant guy these days?

Only those turbaned tycoons in the Middle East could really put up a fight.

The next day, the website surprisingly created a separate section with the same name for "Huaxia Dragon Hunting Team," leaving all the fans speechless.

What kind of force is this?
Does it have the power of money?

On the third day, the much-anticipated section was finally updated, releasing two new bounty missions.

When countless fans saw the bounty posters inside, they had the illusion of having stumbled into One Piece.

The publicly released photo of the target is surrounded by dragon scale patterns and features a "decapitation mark" effect.

The first line at the bottom is the extremely eye-catching reward amount.

Following this was basic information written in blood-ink calligraphy.
The first is a series of missions, led by a "Tiger" level leader, whose photo shows a business tycoon who has just fled overseas.
The sub-tasks are its direct family members, all of whom are "wolf" level, with photos and introductions attached—settlement method: physical settlement.

The second is a "dog" level mission, the target is a woman who looks like an ABC (American-born Chinese) and has released a hit song - settlement method: mental cleansing.

Sure enough, money can make all the difference.

Within 24 hours, Tiger-level missions were accepted 13 times, and Dog-level missions were accepted 94 times!
This only lasted one day.
Over the next few days, these two tasks swept across the entire internet like a "two-dimensional foil".

Chen Mo was well aware that this move was to "get to the bottom of things," but it was precisely because of the special nature of this network that he was so unscrupulous.

This is precisely the principle that Chen Mo has always adhered to: walking the righteous path between the legitimate and the criminal world.

When Chen Mo received the hunter information from the overseas adjudication team, he was somewhat alarmed and silently mourned for the target in advance—a former KGB agent, a retired MI6 team member, the Moraray assassin organization, the leading mercenary group Blackwater, and Wagner…

All sorts of monsters and demons were blown out.

This impressive lineup made Chen Mo afraid to go abroad.

If someone were to order him the same set meal, given his current strength and overall attack capabilities, he might not be able to escape unscathed.

Chen Mo looked at the website and sneered: Old dog, let's see if you die this time!
Domestically on the other side, overseas hunting dragons, with two swords in hand, who dares to act recklessly?

He hated those beasts who ate their fat food and smacked their lips, and hoped that these little dragon people would not disappoint him.

He was really looking forward to the performances of the young masters, princesses, and catfish. When one of them popped up, he would order takeout according to their level.

Anyway, I have so many Bitcoins that I can't possibly spend them all.

Of course, while he was just fantasizing, Chen Mo knew exactly which powerful figures he couldn't touch right now.

However, what displeased him was that the name he left behind was "Tiandao" (天道), which could be translated into English as "DESTINY" (天命) or "GOD" (上帝).

As a result, it was passed around by someone and eventually became known as "BitMan".

Even a direct translation like "skyway" would be fine; it's practically fucking Bitcoin.

The overseas Dragon Hunting Tribunal, with Xu Chaojun providing the technology and Zhang Changfa providing the security, is now in place, and this matter can be considered to be concluded.

Before going to sleep, Chen Mo suddenly had an inexplicable and terrifying thought:

These Bitcoins he has...

Is it really impossible to spend it all?

The most effective way to make something disappear from the public eye is not to cool it down, but to shift the focus.

First, they used the previous tax evasion case of a top female star as an extension and groundwork, and then they exposed Xiaomi, which is already deeply rooted in people's hearts, together with domestic chips.

Technological breakthroughs and domestic production, coupled with the frequent rumors of possible sanctions against domestic private technology companies by the other side, have completely diverted public attention.

Judging from the recent trend of public opinion, various media outlets and media outlets have described the current explosive popularity of Xiaomi as nothing more than a cacophony of noise and overwhelming hype.

It's safe to say that everyone from those nearing retirement homes to those just out of kindergarten knows just how amazing Xiaomi's next domestic flagship phone will be!

Chen Mo watched a three-second close-up of someone on the evening news and complained.
I fought tooth and nail to close this deal, and you've already made a splash and appeared on TV.

Oh shit!

Winning dog!
