To many, cryptocurrencies are just strings of numbers, strings of code without any substance, which is pretty much true. But why are they valuable?

Some argue that this is because Bitcoin is scarce. The total supply of Bitcoin is limited to 2100 million, and its production rate is gradually slowing down, thus contributing to its relatively high value.

Some argue that Bitcoin's decentralized nature is also a source of its value. Traditional currencies are controlled and issued by central banks, while Bitcoin has no central authority. It uses blockchain technology to enable transactions and records globally, making it more free and secure.

Supply and demand, or market demand, is also a factor influencing Bitcoin's price. As more people recognize Bitcoin's potential and advantages, demand continues to rise, driving up prices. Of course, investing in Bitcoin also carries risks, requiring investors to make careful decisions.

In order to increase the value and influence of BT coins, Zhang San and Allen came up with a plan.

How many LSP websites are there in the world? Nobody really has ever counted them. There are just too many of these websites, and they're constantly being shut down, so naturally nobody has ever done a count.

However, Zhang San could give a number: 456. The reason he could give such a precise number was that he and Allen had created all 456 websites together, holding controlling stakes and providing these websites with various related videos.

These 456 adult education websites recently announced that they can use BT coins for transactions, and ten coins can be used to watch a movie, which is cheap and cost-effective.

Although the news spread quickly online, what was unexpected was that the breadth or speed of its spread was not the key point; rather, some people immediately thought of other applications.

Furthermore, given that there is a BT coin trading market on Xingdao Island, and that this kind of thing is convenient to carry and easy to transfer, it immediately attracted the attention of some people. In their view, this kind of thing has formed a closed loop: they buy it from the trading market, then trade it, and the sellers then use it to sell it on the trading market.

This creates a closed loop, making it convenient for them to do many things.

Kenta Sato is a high-ranking member of a certain organization in an island nation, in charge of the pharmaceutical business. He was the first person in the organization to discover this kind of virtual person online, especially after those 456 adult education websites announced that they could use BT coins for transactions. He immediately negotiated with them. The pharmaceutical merchants from Southeast Asia were somewhat skeptical when they heard about it, but decided to conduct a small-scale transaction with them.

Most of their medicines are transported from Southeast Asia to Hong Kong, and then from Hong Kong to South Korea, Taiwan, and the island nation. This route has always existed and has never changed.

As for the mainland, they traveled by land, transporting goods from border regions such as Yunnan or Guangxi provinces.

Upon receiving the goods, Kenta Sato didn't dare to delay. He quickly turned on his computer, logged into his cryptocurrency account, and transferred a large amount of BT coins, which he had prepared in advance, to the other party as agreed.

Almost simultaneously, the other party swiftly initiated the subsequent procedures, transferring the relevant items. It turned out they had a well-trained and clearly defined professional team responsible for receiving payments.

Sure enough, as soon as the other party confirmed receipt of the payment, they immediately went to the Sing Tao Exchange to begin the transaction.

At that moment, someone was buying up BT coins on a large scale. The hundreds of thousands of BT coins were like hot commodities and were sold out in the blink of an eye.

"Sato, your idea is brilliant! Let's continue our business activities using this method from now on." The partner from the Southeast region praised the results of the transaction, his joy evident in his words.

Before long, the BT coin trading market on Xingdao became a bustling scene, with trading frequency rising steadily and activity levels soaring.

It's worth mentioning that the transaction fee charged here is relatively low, only 0.1%. Such a fee is negligible in the eyes of many traders.

Just as they were fully immersed in the booming trading of BT coins, something unexpected happened—new cryptocurrencies suddenly appeared on the exchange: YT coin, DT coin, and Voidcoin. These three emerging cryptocurrencies not only had unique names, but their coding rules were also vastly different.

When these three mysterious currencies suddenly appeared, the once-dominant BT coin instantly lost its luster, and its price plummeted like a cliff. Faced with this situation, Allen muttered to himself, full of doubt, "Why launch these new currencies at this time?" Unable to figure it out, he quickly took out his satellite phone from his pocket and dialed Zhang San's number without hesitation.

Zhang San's deep and steady voice came quickly from the other end of the phone: "Allen, BT Coin isn't really our own; we don't control it. But YT Coin, DT Coin, and Void Coin are different; we have complete control over them! We can manipulate their price fluctuations at will."

Hearing this, Allen still seemed a little confused, but Zhang San quickly explained, "As long as we can find a way to collect a large amount of BT coins, we can naturally influence the value of this currency." These words were like a lightning bolt that struck Allen's mind, making him instantly realize the truth.

Although Zhang San was unaware of whether the founder of BT Coin harbored ulterior motives, he was certain that the YT Coin, DT Coin, and Void Coin he personally created were imbued with his own thoughts and calculations. In fact, long before the official launch of these three currencies, Zhang San had already quietly initiated a large-scale production plan.

These cryptocurrencies all share a special characteristic: like BitTorrent, they have a limited total supply. Therefore, once Zhang San has one-third of these coins, he begins to trade the newly produced coins on the market.

This kind of virtual currency can only be called currency if it is in circulation. If there is no place to trade it, what use is it?

"Allen, these things must be physically isolated and stored away."

Allen listened to Zhang San's words and said, "Don't worry, I did exactly that."

With the diversion of funds to other cryptocurrencies, the price of BT coin indeed dropped. Zhang San immediately had people start buying up BT coins and storing them. As the price of BT coin fell, Zhang San took the opportunity to buy in large quantities. After a period of time, the number of BT coins in his hands increased significantly.

As a speculator, Zhang San naturally stored the goods while prices were low, waiting for the price to rise.
