Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Natasha's undisguised contempt for Meng Chuan was not without reason.

In China in 2014, the name Bitcoin was virtually unknown.

Even if they have heard about it, most people will not easily get involved in investing.

After all, Bitcoin is nothing more than a series of code generated by an algorithm.

Its value depends entirely on market recognition and consensus.

It has no equivalent value link to physical assets such as gold.

If everyone agrees that it's worth ten thousand dollars, then it's worth that price.

If everyone thinks it's worthless, then it truly is worthless.

Its price has neither an upper nor a lower limit.

At its lowest point, it was even as low as $0.08 per coin.

Not only in China, but also abroad, many people are skeptical of Bitcoin.

Those who dare to invest in Bitcoin are all insightful and influential figures.

"Oh? Miss Alice, you've also invested in Bitcoin?"

Meng Chuan looked at Alice with curiosity in his eyes.

Coincidentally, he currently holds 68 bitcoins!

"Hehe, it's just for fun, nothing as amazing as Natasha made it out to be."

Although Alice spoke modestly, a hint of pride was still evident on her face.

After all, she holds a considerable amount of Bitcoin.

In particular, in November of last year, she decisively sold off a large amount of Bitcoin.

After that, the price of Bitcoin plummeted from a high of over $1200 to $300.

Now it hovers around $200.

That move not only brought Alice a great deal of profit, but also earned her considerable fame.

"I wonder how many Bitcoins Miss Alice has left?"

Meng Chuan asked with great interest.

in the country, very few people are involved with Bitcoin.

Even if Meng Chuan wanted to buy more, he couldn't find a suitable channel.

Having finally encountered an expert, how could Meng Chuan not have wicked thoughts?

If we could trick Alice into giving us some Bitcoin, that would be an absolutely fantastic opportunity.

As for Natasha's boasting about how insightful Alice's investment in Bitcoin was...

In Meng Chuan's view, that was just bragging.

Bitcoin is such a unique entity that it cannot be measured by conventional standards.

Anyone who dares to boast about Bitcoin is a fraud.

Because there is no data or basis to judge the future of Bitcoin.

But Meng Chuan dared.

Because Meng Chuan is someone who has experienced it all.

Only Meng Chuan dares to firmly believe in the future of Bitcoin.

"I do have some left, but I plan to hold onto them long-term."

Alice said.

To her, money is just a string of numbers.

Despite the current price winter for Bitcoin, she is not worried.

"Hmph! You Chinese men just like the mundane...refined stuff."

Natasha looked at Meng Chuan with disdain.

"Are you trying to say that it's just being pretentious and cultured?"

Meng Chuan looked at Natasha helplessly; her Chinese was so poor, yet she insisted on nitpicking over the words.

"Yes, it's just pretentious. Do you understand Bitcoin? Now is not a good time to invest in Bitcoin. If you invest now, you will definitely lose money."

Natasha said dismissively.

"Miss Alice, forgive my ignorance, but are all bodyguards like this in foreign countries? How dare they interrupt their master when he is speaking?"

Meng Chuan looked puzzled.

In Meng Chuan's mind, a bodyguard's duty is to protect the safety of his master.

Natasha's behavior clearly went beyond the scope of a bodyguard.

"No, Meng Chuan, don't misunderstand. She's not just my bodyguard. We grew up together and are like sisters."

Alice quickly explained, then said to Natasha:

"Natasha, you're talking too much today."

"I'm sorry, miss."

Natasha quickly agreed, but the disdain in her eyes for Meng Chuan remained undiminished.

"I don't really know much about Bitcoin. It's amazing that a string of code can be sold for money, so I'd like to give it a try. I wonder if Miss Alice could part with some of it for me?"

Meng Chuan simply ignored Natasha; there was no need to get angry with her. After all, only a fool would turn down money.

"Oh? Meng Chuan knows that Bitcoin is a string of code, which means you have some understanding of Bitcoin."

A hint of admiration flashed in Alice's eyes.

Even in 2024, let alone 2014, many people still believe that Bitcoin is a real coin.

Meng Chuan, a young man from a small county, actually had such knowledge about Bitcoin, which made Alice look at him with new respect.

"I wouldn't call it insight, it's purely out of curiosity. How many Bitcoins does Miss Alice have? Could you sell me some?"

Meng Chuan pressed his advantage, pressing for more questions.

"The price of Bitcoin surged last year, and according to investment principles, it will inevitably fall when it reaches its peak."

Alice said slowly:

"So I sold 100,000 back then, and I still have 300,000 left. I wonder how many Meng Chuan wants?"

"Three hundred thousand? That's really not a lot."

Meng Chuan frowned slightly, looking somewhat disappointed.

However, this is also because Meng Chuan has become accustomed to "delicacies" and has developed a "spicy palate".

In fact, 300,000 Bitcoins is already a considerable amount.

At the current price of $200, it is worth more than $60 million.

If Bitcoin were to rise to $100,000 per coin in the future, that would be a staggering $30 billion.

"Heh~ Kid, do you know what 300,000 coins means? The total supply of Bitcoin is only a little over 10 million right now."

Natasha couldn't help but chuckle.

“Looking around the world, there aren’t many people who have more Bitcoin than Miss Alice.”

"What a coincidence, I have more Bitcoin than your young lady."

Meng Chuan looked at Natasha with a hint of provocation in his eyes.

"This is impossible."

Natasha looked on in disbelief, and even Alice looked at Meng Chuan in surprise.

She invested in Bitcoin just for fun.

However, it was only after in-depth research and a very positive outlook on its prospects that I made the investment.

She never expected that Meng Chuan not only also played with Bitcoin, but also had more of it than she did.

“Miss Alice, Meng Chuan does indeed have a considerable amount of Bitcoin. As far as I know, it should be no less than 680,000.”

Zhang Jie, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise, then spoke up to defend Meng Chuan.

After all, he personally witnessed the entire process of Meng Chuan acquiring 680,000 Bitcoins from Liu Qian.

"Wow! I didn't expect Meng Chuan to be an expert on Bitcoin."

Alice's eyes were filled with amazement, as if she had found a like-minded companion.

She was one of the earliest Bitcoin users.

Her family members weren't very supportive of her playing with Bitcoin.

However, they didn't strongly object, since it was just a small amount of money for them, and it wouldn't hurt to play around with it.

"I wouldn't presume to call myself an expert; I just enjoy playing around with it. If Miss Alice were willing to sell me all the Bitcoins she has, I would be extremely grateful."

Meng Chuan looked at Alice with expectant eyes.

Seeing Meng Chuan's repeated questioning, Alice's lips curled up slightly, revealing a sly smile.

He took out a beautifully designed acceptance letter and then said:

"Meng Chuan, I'm here with a task assigned by my teacher. I hope I haven't let my teacher down, and I also look forward to becoming your classmate."

“If Meng Chuan is willing to accept this admission letter, I can sell all the Bitcoin I have to you at the market price.”
