Hexagonal God

Chapter 641 The Sheep-Grabbing in Progress
Su Mo opened the ghost account and made his move.

He did not choose to sell all 40 million Bitcoins at once because the quantity was too large, and at the current price, no one could afford to buy them all.

His sudden sell-off could cause Bitcoin to crash, but Su Mo's interests would also be harmed.

Slowly cutting flesh with a dull knife is currently the best option for Su Mo.

On this day, Su Mo prepared to directly purchase physical gold with Bitcoin.

In order to gain rapid global acceptance for Bitcoin, Obama even allowed Bitcoin to be used to directly purchase gold, which gave Su Mo the greatest room for maneuver.

Antiques are valued in prosperous times, while gold is valued in chaotic times. Although the world hasn't descended into chaos yet, signs of it are already emerging.

The current market price of gold is $35 per gram, which is about 245 yuan, making it very cheap for future generations.

Of course, this is the international gold reserve price, not the price at gold shops. Gold shops have brand premiums, processing fees, etc., making them much more expensive than the international gold price.

The United States has a lot of gold. When Su Mo woke up, their country's gold reserves had exceeded eight thousand tons.

At the current price, it's $35 per gram, so one kilogram would be $35,000.

The price per ton reached 35 million US dollars.

Su Mo knew that opportunities to buy gold would not be frequent, so he wanted to buy as much as he could at the beginning.

However, he also knew that if he bought a lot of things directly, the United States might default on the payment.

Therefore, he had to create some public opinion momentum.

Su Mo first posted a message on her Moyin account.

"@Obama haters, @Federal Reserve, @US Federal Reserve Bank, is it true that Bitcoin can be used to buy gold? If so, I have some Bitcoin and I want to buy gold directly from it. Will you honor my offer?"

Other people's shouts might not have much effect, but Su Mo's shouts are different.

Although his account could not be banned, it was under close surveillance, and the president of the United States learned of the news immediately.

At this point, they certainly wouldn't impose any restrictions, otherwise Bitcoin wouldn't be convincing as a substitute for currency. Obama personally replied to Su Mo: "Of course, we don't lack gold, as long as you have enough Bitcoin."

Having received accurate information, Su Mo immediately made an outrageous demand.

The first order: one thousand tons of gold!

Total value: 35 billion US dollars!

A total of 318182 bitcoins were spent.

The outpouring of over 300,000 Bitcoins completely stunned the United States.

It's worth noting that my country only holds 600 tons of gold in the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States.

The purpose of storing this gold was to ensure monetary stability; it was not something that could be withdrawn at will.

As long as the US dollar remains the world's reserve currency, this gold will continue to be stored in underground vaults in New York.

Not only my country, but countries all over the world have stored large amounts of gold there, but today, this gold has changed its value.

It has become a means for the United States to control other countries; once relations between the two countries deteriorate, there's no hope of getting this gold back.

However, Su Mo's move completely stunned the American side.

Where did he get so many Bitcoins?
The Bitcoin market is currently booming, and any Bitcoin that is listed for sale sells out almost instantly, making it difficult to snag one.

So they never expected that Su Mo could produce more than 300,000 Bitcoins at once. This huge sum of 35 billion really made them feel uncomfortable.

If Su Mo hadn't spoken out beforehand and their president hadn't responded, they might not have approved of the deal. But Su Mo had laid the groundwork beforehand, and now he's putting them in a very difficult position.

One thousand tons of gold, almost one-seventh of their total gold reserves, is a major headache for the United States.

However, the news had already spread, and if the payment wasn't made, Bitcoin would lose everyone's trust. Therefore, they had no choice but to reluctantly pay the gold.

To ensure the safety of this gold, the country dispatched multiple Y-20 transport aircraft to the United States to carry out the transport mission.

Two days later, the gold was transported back from the United States.

Su Mo did not keep the gold; instead, he deposited it directly into the national bank.

my country's gold reserves are only 2,000 tons, of which 600 tons are in the United States. This deposit of gold has caused the country's gold reserves to increase dramatically.

Su Mo also assured his superiors that unless there were special circumstances, he would not take the gold out and would keep it there.

Almost all the leaders had a much better impression of Su Mo, which was exactly the result Su Mo wanted to see.

Immediately afterwards, Su Mo placed an order to prepare for her second order.

At this time, he saw that the price of gold had risen, with the price of gold in the United States rising to $40 per gram.

The price has increased from $35 to $40, which is a huge increase. This is probably a threshold set up to prevent Su Mo from continuing to buy.

Su Mo just sneered and continued to buy another thousand tons!

The total value is 40 billion US dollars, which is 363,636 bitcoins.

After making the purchase, Su Mo immediately posted the screenshot online, unafraid that the US wouldn't pay. "Fuck! Su Mo's gone mad! Where did he get so many Bitcoins?!"

At the White House, Obama kept scratching his head, practically pulling out all the hair he had left.

Some of his key associates are now completely dumbfounded.

To prevent Su Mo from placing further large orders, they deliberately raised the price of gold. Unexpectedly, Su Mo made another move and bought another thousand tons.

With these gold payments, the United States Federal Reserve's gold reserves will be significantly reduced again, which is undoubtedly bad news.

Gold is the cornerstone of the dollar's stability; they made a mistake by opening up gold purchases.

I thought that since Bitcoin is scattered among countless people, it would be impossible for anyone to buy it in large quantities. I never expected that Su Mo had quietly accumulated so much.

Some suggested refusing to pay, but after careful consideration, Obama ultimately rejected the offer.

They are the world's leading developed country; they cannot afford to lose their reputation and credibility because of this.

This payment can be made, but it absolutely cannot be done in this way again.

Gold must be subject to purchase limits, and only American citizens are allowed to buy it. People like Su Mo should no longer be granted the right to purchase it.

The United States reluctantly paid for the second 1,000 tons of gold, and then immediately changed the rules for purchasing gold.

Purchase restrictions and qualification certifications were introduced, and Su Mo glanced at them but didn't look at them again.

There's no need to look anymore; he doesn't want to buy any more of those small, miscellaneous items.

He still stored the thousand tons of gold in the national bank, but he could withdraw it at any time when he needed it.

Don't be fooled by the current low price of gold; it is expected to appreciate significantly in the future. Consider these as part of your savings.

After securing two sums of gold, Su Mo planned to continue exploiting the United States.

Over the years, the United States has amassed a vast oil reserve through illicit means in the Middle East.

By the time Su Mo woke up from her dream, their oil reserves had reached a staggering 740 billion tons, making them incredibly wealthy.

With such vast oil reserves, it would be a disservice to God to not take advantage of them.

So, Su Mo posted again.

The questioning was simple, and it directly asked Obama haters: "@Obama haters, do you limit the purchase of gold? Do you limit the purchase of oil?"

Obama was also provoked by the question. They have plenty of oil now, although not reaching 740 billion barrels, but still more than 500 billion barrels, so he is very confident.

"No purchase limit. If you have Bitcoin, feel free to give it a try."

Having received an answer, Su Mo didn't stand on ceremony.

Direct purchase, two billion barrels.

The current international crude oil price is about $50 a barrel, so Su Mo's investment would be worth 100 billion US dollars!
That's equivalent to 909091 Bitcoins!
Su Mo placed the order and posted it online. Then, a large number of oil tankers from the Su Tang Group began to gather at various ports in the United States.

The country has helped again this time, mobilizing countless oil tankers to transport oil to the United States.

This time, the Americans were pretty straightforward and paid directly.

They had to do this to ensure Bitcoin's status as the universal currency of the network, especially given the president's assurances.

Transporting two billion barrels of oil is not easy. A large oil tanker can usually only carry 2 million barrels. This time, the Sutang Group mobilized 200 oil tankers, and the country also helped to mobilize 300. The 500 oil tankers made two round trips, taking more than a month to transport the oil back.

Before the oil had even fully arrived, Su Mo placed another order for two billion barrels!

The US continued to make payments, believing that Su Mo was already at his limit and couldn't possibly have much Bitcoin left.

December arrived just like that, and Su Mo placed another order, this time for a total of six billion barrels!
Three hundred billion US dollars!

This time, America panicked.

Has Su Mo gone mad?!
Could he possibly be able to create Bitcoin himself?

However, these Bitcoins are also numbered, so there is absolutely no chance of them being counterfeited.

It should be noted that Su Mo has already spent 5.5 million Bitcoins by purchasing gold twice and oil three times.

Who can guarantee that he doesn't have any left?
And one-fifth of their country's oil reserves were consumed in this way.

And what did they get?
Aside from virtual Bitcoin, he didn't receive a single cent.

This can't go on.

After this order was finalized, the United States changed its mind again, prohibiting the sale of oil as a strategic reserve.

Let bygones be bygones; this is a price that must be paid to maintain Bitcoin's position as the world's number one cryptocurrency. However, continuing to trade is absolutely unacceptable.

Although this action was somewhat embarrassing, they had no other choice.

Su Mo instilled fear in them.
