After understanding the origin of Bitcoin, one would understand that Bitcoin was actually nothing. However, it had a very strong characteristic, which was that each Bitcoin was unique. It was almost impossible to copy, counterfeit, or mass-produce. At the same time, it could be traded in an extremely secretive way, and no one would be able to find any financial transactions. At the same time, it had a certain degree of scarcity.
After understanding these characteristics of Bitcoin, coupled with Ma Cong's notes directly pointing out that it had currency properties, Musk immediately understood that Bitcoin was actually the most suitable currency for the Internet.
Musk started out in the payment industry. He could be said to have an extremely good understanding of online payment and online currency. Although there were a lot of real currencies on the Internet now, such as Q coins or points, there seemed to be no shortage of currencies on the Internet.
However, Musk understood that there had never been a currency that truly belonged to the Internet.
Among them, the currency with the largest volume was actually the currency of the real world. It was regulated by various financial institutions in the real world. Every transaction could be checked by the financial institutions, and any transaction on the Internet could be found. The only difference was whether the financial regulators were willing to spend the effort to investigate.
As for the tokens promoted by Internet companies like Q coins, they were even more rubbish. Although this currency could not be regulated by financial institutions, it was directly monitored by Internet companies, and all the sources and cash flows could be found.
Secondly, the most important thing was that the distribution rights of the Internet tokens were in the hands of the Internet companies.
When players obtained an Internet token, they needed to recharge it with real real currency. However, the Internet companies only needed to enter a data in the background, and they could have endless Internet tokens.
Therefore, once these Internet companies were short of money, they began to directly launch these Internet tokens in batches, and all the players who had previously recharged would be miserable.
Do you think those Internet capitalists have more integrity, or the country's financial institutions have more integrity?
Therefore, these Internet tokens could only be used to purchase consumer services from Internet companies. It was impossible to use them as a currency on the Internet for transactions between people.
To put it bluntly, the internet needed a currency that could allow transactions between people. At the same time, the currency had to be very safe. It would not be counterfeited or imitated, and it would not be monitored by any financial institutions. The source of the currency was also not a central bank. Today, it announced that it would give out 19,000 billion yuan to all its citizens. The day after tomorrow, it would release 23,000 billion yuan for infrastructure projects. It would be a total of 42,000 billion yuan in the market.
But the problem was that the government already owed tens of trillions of dollars. How could they have the money to do this? To put it bluntly, they were just printing money.
That's right. As long as the government was shameless enough, the so-called currency maintained by the country's credit could be printed in an instant, and then the currency would depreciate instantly. Just like in Zimbabwe, the denomination of the currency had already reached 1 trillion.
Therefore, sometimes, the governments of some countries were even more shameless than capitalists. In order to cut the wool of the whole world, they didn't even care about their faces.
In contrast, bitcoin was actually a perfect solution to these problems. Because there were data backups on the world's network, and every transaction must be recognized by most of the backups in the world. This made bitcoin impossible to imitate, counterfeit, and copy.
Moreover, it had a cap of 21 million yuan, so there was no possibility of bitcoin being overissued. At the same time, there was no organization that could manage and control bitcoin.
Such a currency was simply the most perfect currency in the world. At least, it was the most perfect currency for investors. Therefore, the moment Musk saw this note, he knew that he had found a treasure. Bitcoin was simply a gift from God to the Internet. If he could operate Bitcoin, then he would become the largest bank in the Internet world. He would be the master of the Internet finance industry.
So, only one day later, Musk directly resigned from the Daqian. He had already taken a flight back to China as soon as he resigned. As for the follow-up, he was too lazy to care. At most, he would just lose money.
Anyway, as long as he made bitcoin, then he would be a world-class billionaire. A little bit of money was nothing.

Musk spent three days and three nights. After sorting out a detailed action plan, he began the operation of bitcoin.
First, Musk began to make the relevant programs that bitcoin must use, such as bitcoin wallet, bitcoin mining knife, and some other programs. This required a considerable foundation in mathematics and programming.
In this regard, Musk was not very good at it, so he contacted several programmers who used to open a company together. Then, he took out his savings and gave them the basic requirements of the software. He gathered them together to form a team and began to develop the program.
The relevant programs needed for bitcoin were not complicated. A programmer who was familiar with P2P could complete it in two or three months, let alone a complete team.
So soon, it only took half a month for the team to come up with the first version. Then, after some testing, the 1.0 version of the software was completed very smoothly.
Then, Musk directly disbanded the company, and the programmers were all dismissed by Musk.
Because Musk was very clear that if bitcoin wanted to be popular on the Internet and become a recognized online currency, bitcoin must be independent and not controlled by any economic entity.
If Maester registered a company to operate bitcoin, or let people find out that bitcoin was a product of a company, then the credibility of bitcoin would collapse in an instant. After all, the most important characteristic of bitcoin was that it was not controlled by any company or financial institution.
Even to say that unless there was an unsolvable bug, Maester did not intend to update the bitcoin mining knife program directly. Because once updated, it meant that bitcoin could still be controlled by a certain company.
Maester understood very well. He knew that a user who was willing to use bitcoin to transact on the Internet would never want to see a force controlling bitcoin.
After completing these programs, Maester logged into the United States' largest P2P network forum and prepared to post a bitcoin-related post. Basically, he wrote the things in the notebook, mainly the various characteristics of bitcoin, and the absolute openness and privacy of bitcoin. Then, he posted the relevant programs.
