Captulo 905: Chapter 872: Have You Heard of Bitcoin?

"How much are you planning to push the price this time?”

Wilson asked. Nowadays, they are the main market makers of Bitcoin. Although it is not the best time to raise prices, it’s still a good opportunity.

If Lu Liang is interested in pushing the price to break historical highs, they wouldn’t mind contributing to the effort.

One thing at a time, although they are on opposing sides in the Offshore Renminbi Market, their goals in the Bitcoin market are at least temporarily aligned: the higher the Bitcoin price, the better for them.

Lu Liang put away his nonchalant demeanor, pondered for a moment, and said, “For this market wave, we will at least push above twenty-two thousand US dollars, breaking historical constraints and opening an upward channel.”

"Start strong, strive for excellence, persist even in decline. If this time we can’t breach historical highs and open an upward channel, investors won’t believe in Bitcoin’s potential in the future.”

"I won’t hide it from you, Bitcoin is a good thing. I think it has great potential for development in the future, and we will continue to hold it for at least the next five years.”

In recent years, Lu Liang has seen quite a lot, but as more future information came in, he was stunned by the development trajectory of Bitcoin.

Its first public trading in 2010 was only $0.003. For the next five years, it developed steadily.

It wasn’t until 2015 that it shot up to $200, entering a high-speed development channel, peaking at $978 in 2016 and at $20,842 in 2017.

If it weren’t for Lu Liang’s intervention, Bitcoin’s price would have reached a temporary historical high in 2017.

After that, it remained quiet for two and a half years, reaching thirty thousand dollars in 2020 and seventy thousand in 2021.

Lu Liang doesn’t know the path beyond this.

But based on his trading experience over the years, he has a reason to predict that Bitcoin’s price has no upper bound, but the lower limit is very high.

Because a product with financial attributes can maintain a relatively high price for several years, the financial institutions entrenched within it are certainly as numerous as fish crossing a river.

Out of concern for preventing their assets from depreciating, they will definitely maintain this market well.

Lu Liang’s statements silenced the boardroom briefly; they exchanged glances before finally focusing on Su Shimin.

One couldn’t help but admire Lu Liang for starting from scratch and growing to such a scale; his strategic insight is unparalleled, aligning perfectly with their thoughts.

The Federal Reserve’s debt is enormous, reaching twenty-two trillion dollars by the end of last quarter, equivalent to 106% of last year’s GDP.

Moreover, with the rapid development of East Country, they are encroaching on the resources that should belong to them.

In the coming years, unless debt is resolved through warfare, the Federal Reserve’s total debt will only increase.

Even without major changes, conservative estimates suggest the Federal Reserve’s debt will exceed thirty trillion dollars by 2025, equivalent to 120% of GDP, and daily interest payments alone will be twelve billion dollars.

And the data model has left a lot of room, not ensuring a five trillion-dollar stimulus in the next five years.

If unexpected factors are added to the data model, without initiating a large-scale debt-resolving war, the Federal Reserve will face its first credit crisis by 2035.

By then, people worldwide will no longer trust the US Dollar to counter inflation, and the currency system constructed by US Dollar hegemony will face a significant crisis.

Bitcoin is their prepared move to counter the US Dollar credit crisis.

It doesn’t matter who launched this project; what matters is their substantial Bitcoin holdings and the recognition from global markets of Bitcoin’s price.

If Bitcoin can reach one million dollars in the future and gain global recognition.

When certain US debts mature, they can resolve debts with Bitcoin, effortlessly solving tens of trillions of dollars of debt.

It can be said that Bitcoin is a crucial part of the debt resolution to maintain US Dollar hegemony.

Su Shimin pondered for a moment and then said, “Alright, we’ll collectively push this wave to over twenty-two thousand dollars, and then each will rely on their skills.”

As he finished speaking, apart from Lu Liang, the seven other people in the boardroom agreed to the decision, and Wilson cheerfully said in Chinese, “What a body~”

Lu Liang teased, “It’s ‘Harmony brings wealth,’ Kamon, your Chinese is still not good. Come over to Xiangjiang sometime; I’ll get a few foreign teachers for you, male ones if you want, females if you prefer, or both.”

The crowd burst into laughter at his words, clearly aware of Wilson’s dual interests, suddenly making the boardroom atmosphere jovial, missing the previous sharpness.

Wilson squinted but didn’t get angry; after all, he wasn’t the only oddball present. He licked his lips, savoring, “Asians are indeed nice, skin is tender and smooth, but I won’t take anyone over eighteen.”

"You’re just scum. Go find your own; I won’t be your pimp.” Lu Liang cursed jokingly, chatted casually, then exited the video chat room.

After about ten minutes, Lu Liang’s phone on the desk rang, showing an unknown number on the screen.

He answered with a smile, asking, “How about it? Interested in coming over for a few days?”

Next March, he plans to short US stocks, but capital alone is far from enough.

After all, it is across the Pacific Ocean and an away game, with too many uncontrollable variables in between.

He needs to find someone to cooperate, inside and outside, to exert restraint and prevent others from acting recklessly.

Wilson naturally heard the implication in Lu Liang’s words; otherwise, he wouldn’t have called back. He asked, “Is time urgent?”

"Not urgent,” Lu Liang answered.

Wilson pondered for a moment and replied, “Then let’s wait until the second half of the year. I’m busy recently and can’t leave.”

Lu Liang made a sound of agreement, “Call me when you come over.”

Seeing Lu Liang about to end the call, Wilson paused and hurriedly called out, “Lu, I’m available now; don’t you have anything to ask?”

He prided himself on knowing several pieces of information Lu Liang might be interested in, but Lu Liang seemed uninterested, making him uncomfortable.

Lu Liang smiled slightly, “What would I ask?”

"Things you’re interested in.”

"Blackstone and you all, how much are you planning to invest in the Offshore Renminbi Market?”

Hearing Lu Liang’s question, Wilson’s face darkened, snapping, “How would I know.”

"Nothing worth asking.”

Lu Liang paused for a moment and sighed deeply, “When powerless to change, ignorance is indeed bliss.”

Strategies for counteraction have already been prepared, using the same way to treat them back.

After all, completing peaceful surpass even at the cost of sacrificing tens of thousands of people is worth it.

Moreover, the messages from the future also informed him that such a choice is correct; otherwise, next year, US stocks wouldn’t have a circuit breaker four times, shooting themselves in the foot.

Even Lu Liang’s heart is still not hard enough; he clearly knows that doing this is the right and most wise choice. But he still can’t ignore so many lives, so he chooses to look away and not inquire.

According to Li Junyi’s suggestion, pretend to know nothing, and when the event occurs, do your part.

Wilson was silent, sighed and said: “Ignorance is indeed bliss, you see much more thoroughly than I do.”

While the two were conversing, Bitcoin suddenly moved, with a lot of funds pouring in, staging a dramatic surge.

It soared all the way from 6123 US Dollars, breaking through 6500 US Dollars, 6800 US Dollars, and in a flash, it approached 7000 US Dollars.

Countless myths of sudden wealth are being staged in Japan and Korea, with the profiteers posting their earnings on social platforms, quickly spreading the news worldwide.

At the same time,

Liu Conglong returned to the mainland through the Xiangjiang border.

After handling some trivial matters, he suddenly wondered about Bitcoin’s current trend in his spare time.

After all, if he chose not to cash out, his account held 5883 Bitcoins.

His mood is now like that of a retail investor in the A-shares market, who always wants to check the stock performance originally held after clearing out.

If he successfully cashed out at the high point, his mood would be very good, pleased with his god-like operation.

However, reality played a big joke on him.

"How could this be, nonsense?”

Liu Conglong’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: “How did it suddenly become 7320 US Dollars?”

He rubbed his eyes and refreshed the webpage several times, finding he had indeed seen wrong, because it had already become 7521 US Dollars.

"I seem to have applied to cash out at 6120 US Dollars? If at that time, I could have listened to Li Junwei’s suggestion?”

Liu Conglong showed a distressed face, his expression uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly, with a pain in the flesh, wah-wah pain.

If 5883 Bitcoins were cashed out now, he would get 44.24 million US Dollars.

And looking at the trend, 7521 US Dollars seems still not the end of this wave of market.

It’s only been six hours, and he has lost an additional profit of 8.3 million US Dollars, equivalent to 57.25 million RMB.

"Is this market really so crazy?”

Liu Conglong whispered to himself, knowing what a Ponzi Scheme is, and also knowing what pass-the-parcel means.

But he didn’t understand, it doesn’t look too safe, it looks like a cryptocurrency killing plate, where is such a terrifying market value?

"Why not, invest a bit more?”

Liu Conglong rubbed his chin, falling into thought.

Although he told Lu Liang not to be greedy, what entrepreneur is not greedy, ultimately, it’s about being worried.

Now such a good opportunity to make money is in front of him, if not participating, it seems against nature.

"Little Wu, come to my office.”

Having made up his mind, Liu Conglong waved to call for his assistant, letting him learn about Bitcoin.

He planned to invest moderately, especially reminding not to use the subordinate banks of Tianxing Finance.

After all, he just rejected Li Junwei’s suggestion, now to return to it is somewhat embarrassing.

Mostly, the subordinate banks of Tianxing Finance are not the only channels to buy Bitcoin.

So it’s unnecessary, to lose face.

On the same day, Bitcoin soared by 2100 US Dollars, with a single-day increase of 43%, announcing to the market in a very strong posture that the second wave of cryptocurrency is coming.

"Mr. Lu, you spoke truly.”

As night deepened, Liu Conglong held a cigar, embracing a third- or fourth-tier actress, smiling brightly.

Although he initially missed the chance, he woke up quickly, realizing and returning, entering the market again.

"See, just an hour passed, I made 3 million US Dollars.”

Liu Conglong was triumphantly showing off his earnings, making the beauty in his arms full of envy.

The money came fast in the stock market, he experienced it early, but he did not expect the cryptocurrency market, to earn money so quickly.

"Chairman Liu, you are amazing, even Lu Liang, might not be more than this.” The actress flattered him, being very good at providing emotional value, making Liu Conglong feel exuberant.

After all, today in front of Lu Liang, he was extremely humble, without the demeanor a top ten real estate CEO should have, now his self-esteem was greatly satisfied.

"What’s that show called again? Ah, whatever, isn’t it just short of 15 million funds, Greenland will invest.”

Liu Conglong was full of smiles, though the group faced transformation during the real estate economic phase, it vaguely had the risk of financial distress.

But tens of millions in investment, doesn’t affect much, after all, the company’s money isn’t his money, it should be spent as usual.

"Chairman Liu, I really love you.”

The actress was overjoyed, her delicate hands holding the soft and flabby old Liu, attempting to rejuvenate the old tree.

Right then, Liu Conglong’s phone rang.

He glanced at the caller location, his face changed, quickly pushed aside the actress, going in private to answer.

Liu Conglong collected his thoughts, smilingly said: “Young Master Jiang, what would you say?”

"Yes, indeed part of that fund has transferred.”

"For now, it doesn’t appear there’s any problem.”

"Lu Liang’s attitude is still uncertain.”

"Actually, I have a good idea.”

"Have you heard of Bitcoin?”
