Chapter 284 Hackers
Currencies are general equivalents. This is a consensus in economics. Whether it is shells in primitive society, or later gold ingots and broken silver, they can be used as currencies because their raw materials have the value of being general equivalents.

However, the electronic currency invented by smart people has a deeper exploration of the economy than currency, and has begun to express the concept of transactions-why transactions occur because the other party has what they need.

If there is no agreement on what is commonly known as a general equivalent, then in what state should the transaction exist?
There are roughly two states, one is barter, that is, both parties agree that the value of the other party’s things is equal to their own, and at the same time, both parties need the other’s things, so barter trading occurs.

This state is earlier than the birth of currency, and it is the precondition of general equivalent transactions.

The second state is credit. In the state of no currency, if you don’t have what the other party needs, but you desperately need the other party’s items, you can use your own integrity as a record and agree to get the other party’s items first. Then make up after getting what the other party needs.

This state is a subsequent development of the general equivalent transaction.

In Ron's memory, this state has been widely popularized in the Dragon Kingdom ten years later. Currency has become a string of numbers on mobile phones or bank accounts, and every consumption is a flow between numbers.

It's just that the right to monitor and revise the flow of numbers is still in the hands of the state and the banks. Once some high-level officials who hold a lot of power but are not up to the standard appear, it is easy to cause extreme confusion.

I have to sigh again for the forward-looking vision of the smart man - the electronic currency he created takes back all the monitoring and modification rights of the flow between numbers and belongs to the system.

If you use BT coins for a transaction, a character strip represents a certain amount of BT coins. When the transaction is completed and you need to pay for the payment, you only need to provide the character strip of BT coins to pay to the other party, and then the hidden character of the character strip The content will change - on a certain day of a certain year, a certain month, a certain person pays a certain amount of X amount of BT coins to such a certain person.

At the same time, this character strip will be recorded by six blocks through calculation, and written into all computers that have downloaded the BT currency calculation program - all computers that have joined this program will have a ledger, recording all transactions using BT currency data, and this data cannot be modified.

Even if it is modified or erased, the program will automatically recheck after a certain period of time. If a certain ledger is found to be inconsistent with other ledgers, the principle of minority obeying the majority will be activated, and the ledger will be directly replaced with the same state as the majority.

If a country uses BT currency as its legal tender, then not only does this country have no right to issue currency, but at the same time, all transactions in this country will be placed on the bright side, and any internal operations are not allowed.

It's a pity that no country that can survive normally will do this-smart people consider the technical level, but not the human nature.

In fact, after Ron first learned about the generation mechanism and working mechanism of BT coins, he completely scoffed at the future vision expressed by smart people.

No endorsement, no value, is the biggest weakness of BT currency.

Unless the entire human society publicly recognizes and endorses it, then BT currency can truly become a currency-maybe it can be realized one day in the future, but it is definitely a fantasy now!

"Meow~"

so many~
Maopao pressed the downward direction key of the notebook, and Ron looked at the text strips passing by like a waterfall in front of him, with green light flashing in his eyes. Every text strip here represented fifty BT coins on the back. Nine years later, each BT was worth $[-] at its peak.

In other words, this small Kingston USB flash drive plugged into the laptop at this moment will be worth tens of billions of dollars after waiting patiently for nine years!

But right now, it's worthless!
Probably knowing how much wealth he owns, Ron is about to turn off his laptop, and wants to put it under the bed with his mobile phone. As a cat, he has no habit of wearing clothes and cannot bring his mobile phone. It has to be said that it is a pity .

However, just after Ron's paw pressed the power off button, the laptop screen did not go dark, but suddenly jumped to a black DOS interface, and then countless green characters hung down like a waterfall.

"..."

Wo C!

Could it be that the world Benmiao is staying in is not the real world, but the virtual world planned by the matrix? !
Will a person suddenly jump out of the screen later and give me two pills?

In an instant, the sudden appearance of the green waterfall subtitle almost broke Ron's psychological defense, causing him to have fundamental doubts about his own existence.

That's what the Buddhists call the true self. Once Ron denies himself, it's only a second away from madness.

Fortunately, just after Ron took the first step of self-doubt, the green waterfall subtitle changed again, pulling Ron back from the brink of self-denial.

On the laptop screen, all the green characters shrank and changed into a human face composed of characters, and a line of words jumped out below the human face.

"Hello."

"I'm a smart guy, the creator of the BT currency program, can we communicate?"

"..."

It turned out to be a hacker!
Almost thought it was an empire!

Raising his paws to wipe the cold sweat that didn't exist on his face, Ron sat in front of the laptop, flicked his tail, directly covered the camera above the laptop, and pulled out the U disk at the same time - it is said that hackers can control the computer At the same time mobilizing all the accessories on the computer, Ron didn't want his appearance behind the network to be discovered, and he didn't want to lose the harvest of investing 10,000+ dollars.

As for why smart people came to Ron, he knew very well in his heart that within a month or so after the program was launched, most of the people who downloaded the program were hobbyists with only one computer. How can a large network of ten computers attract the attention of smart people?

"Hi, I'm Tangerine."

The smart man obviously didn't control Ron's camera, otherwise he must not be typing so fast - after Ron replied, his text appeared quickly again.

"Hello, Tangerine."

"It's been less than a month since the BT currency block program was born. What made you build a computing network composed of twenty computers at once?"

"because……"

Through the Internet, Ron chatted with the wise man. Of course, he did not express his inferences about the weakness of BT currency, but praised the currency de-neutralization and other advantages that the wise man used in BT currency—— Ron doesn't want to change history, he just wants to make a good fortune with BT coins, so naturally he has to follow the other side.

And this kind of argument just explains why he set up a network of twenty computers to run the program in the first place.
