The second investment in ink weather is

That year, on a lazy afternoon, young people from all walks of life poured into this new holy land of entrepreneurship, chatting with all kinds of people with dreams and blending projects, such as Tsinghua Peking University's favored son, hopeless drifting north, dreamers with projects and wily investors. It was also that afternoon that Li Xiaolai happily introduced Bitcoin to the first group of curious young people in China. Two young people sitting in the back were whispering, and one asked, "Dude, do you think this thing is reliable?" The other person replied in a low voice: "To be honest, I don't understand, but it seems quite awesome." In the front row sat a young man from Shaanxi named Bauer, but he was very interested in it.

Just on 20 13, garage coffee can also be settled in bitcoin. In March of that year, an American student named Jack asked if it was possible to buy coffee with bitcoin. Huang Fen, the No.2 employee of Garage Coffee, later said, "We had a partner who was studying Bitcoin and worried that there was no place to find it, so we agreed. However, before we got Bitcoin, we were replaced by partners who studied Bitcoin, and we finally received cash. "

20 13, Zhao dong has been the technical director of garage coffee. At that time, I bought shares in Ink Weather and wanted to start a business, so I made coffee in the garage.

Zhao Dong (20 13):

Last March, a friend said that he was playing bitcoin, and he suggested that I buy some bitcoin. I asked why I bought this thing. He said making money. It's simple. I played Bitcoin for the first time because it looked very profitable, because I had some money in my hand after selling ink weather.

Besides, I just sold my house last year. Why should I sell my house? Because I posted a Weibo on June+10 last year, probably about buying bitcoin after I sold my house. Many people think that I sell my house to speculate on bitcoin. Every time I come out, it's a misunderstanding. I didn't sell my house to speculate on bitcoin. In fact, I have long felt that the real estate in China is going to collapse. Finally, last year, I thought the house price was relatively high. I told my wife that we should sell the house. When I told my wife before, she felt that there were no other assets at home. She felt that it was unsafe to sell the house and use the money to do other things. Last year, I finally succeeded in persuading my wife to sell the house and decided to sell it on the same day.

Before that, some of the money I sold ink was actually poorly invested. About half of my money is deposited in the bank on a regular basis, and the other half is used to buy funds. At that time, there was no particularly good investment, and the fixed interest rate of bank deposits was very low. After I bought the fund for one year, I found that I basically lost money, about 10%, and there was no good financial management method. Just at this time, my friend told me that I could play Bitcoin, so I took a look at the historical trend of Bitcoin. The fluctuation is very large, which proves that speculation can be made.

At that time, btc China, I filled in 50 yuan. I tried what bitcoin is first. It should have been 2500 yuan/piece. It wasn't particularly fast at first. Later, I found that Bitcoin rose very fast, and I was a little worried. One day, my friend and I were having coffee in the garage. That year, it suddenly rose from 600 yuan to 1000 yuan, so I bought some bitcoins with my friends. One person took 1000 and one person bought 10. If it falls, we will ignore it. Anyway, 1 0,000 yuan is not particularly valued in our place. We went up to 1500 and sold it, whether it went up or not. Each of us bought 10000 yuan of 10 coins, which suddenly rose to 1800 yuan in less than a week. It should have passed 1500 yuan by noon that day. At that time, he called me, and Bitcoin passed 1500 yuan. Let's sell it. I said yes, I'll sell it when I get back. When I got back to the computer, I got 1800 yuan. I sold it on 1800 10, and it sold very happily.

At midnight, two of my classmates came from Dalian to have a drink with me, also next to the coffee in the garage. When we drink until midnight, I often take out my mobile iPhone to check the price of bitcoin. As soon as the price dropped to around 650 yuan and rebounded to 900 yuan, I bought 10 with 900 yuan and sold it at 1300 yuan the next morning. In less than two weeks, I earned more than 1 10,000 with 1 10,000, so I bragged with my wife. I got my first iPhone because of a lucky adventure.

Xiao told me that he also spent a lot of money on mining. After the failure of mining, he realized that capital itself is the most efficient in the monetary world. At that time, I asked him how you bought Bitcoin at a cost of 1, and laughed that he happened to catch up with a downlink channel. When I bought Bitcoin, the first time I bought it was 1000 yuan, which just rose to the highest point of 266 dollars at that time, and then fell. After the fall, there will probably be a bear market for several months. This happens to be a descending passage, and I bought a lot in the descending passage. At that time, I bought a little money from 800 yuan, 50- 100 yuan and 65,438+10,000 yuan per drop. In this way, I have been buying 400 yuan for 800 yuan, with an average price of 500 yuan. This is how 2000 Bitcoin came about, and the cost is relatively low.

This year, high flyers Tian Jia, a 26-year-old computer major in Tsinghua University, also came to the garage for coffee. "Maybe because I graduated from the computer department, I am particularly interested in Bitcoin." At that time, the boy with a deep voice was very excited when he talked about his first contact with Bitcoin.

"At that time, there was a report abroad called" The Most Dangerous Currency in History ",and I realized that there was a currency called Bitcoin." Tracing back to the source, Tian Jia also intends to start mining to earn this money based on computer operation. "Although excavators are becoming more and more advanced now, burning graphics cards for mining is the most cost-effective."

20 1 1 He spent 1 ten thousand yuan to save a "mining machine" in Zhongguancun. It took him three months to dig out 100 bitcoins with this digger. "Taking care of machines is more tiring than taking care of people." Tian Jia recalled that at that time, there was a "mining machine" in his small rental house, which used more than 1000 kWh of electricity for three months, just to dig bitcoin, and the heat dissipation of the mining machine was very poor. "Even the clothes that have just been washed will be hung in the house for a while."

Then, Tian Jia used some bitcoin for his long-cherished high-end computer. In his view, this transaction is quite cost-effective and has also stimulated his interest in Bitcoin.

On the evening of February 6, 20 13, the atmosphere in Zhongguancun garage cafe was very tense, and Bitcoin experienced a historic shock. Basically, every running laptop has opened a page of real-time bitcoin transactions. People, whether they are working or talking about things, will glance at the constantly jumping numbers from time to time, always ready to make moves as soon as there is a market. Even a few guys behind the bar got together to check the market with their mobile phones, hoping to buy one or two bitcoins at the bottom. Boss Su Shi kept answering the phone of the media and answering all kinds of questions about Bitcoin. Although the whole hall is quiet, the atmosphere is obviously not as relaxed and lively as usual. "Today we witness history! The market changes too fast, and you miss the opportunity when you have a meal. " Bauer, a senior coffee player, stopped the reporter who came to interview and said: "Now as long as it is in the circle, basically everyone is concerned about Bitcoin. If you go to any cafe in Zhongguancun now, you will definitely hear people talking about Bitcoin. "

Zhao Dong, Tian Jia and Bauer in the 20 13 garage coffee story have now become famous bosses in the circle, worth hundreds of millions. But if you go back to that lazy afternoon of that year and just pass by the garage to buy a cup of coffee and hear their discussion, will you notice the turbulent future?
