Bitcoin Trader

Thinking about this, Ye Chen adjusted the strap of his laptop bag and walked toward a nearby hotel. He had a plan, and he needed a quiet place to execute it.

Upon arriving at the hotel, he approached the reception desk and booked a room for the night. The receptionist handed him the key, and he quickly made his way upstairs.

Once inside his room, he placed his laptop on the desk and powered it on. As the screen lit up, his eyes widened in surprise.

"Damn, this system is really considerate. It even comes with an internet connection!"

With a smirk, Ye Chen wasted no time. He immediately logged into an overseas website and began the registration process. After a few minutes of filling out forms and verifying details, he was all set.

As he explored further, another surprise awaited him. "Wait... I don't even need to go to the bank? The system already has an overseas payment function enabled?" He let out a chuckle, clearly pleased.

Without hesitation, Ye Chen made his move. He went to various Bitcoin forums and posted about acquiring Bitcoin. To increase visibility, he even paid $10 to pin his post.

At first, there was complete silence—no replies, no interest. But patience was key. After an hour, the responses started trickling in.

One after another, Bitcoin enthusiasts initiated transaction requests.

"Heh, no surprise. My offer is too good to ignore," Ye Chen muttered to himself.

He was offering an unbelievable rate—1 Bitcoin for just $0.01. At this point in time, Bitcoin's value had plummeted due to vulnerabilities, making his offer seem like a jackpot.

100 Bitcoins. 200 Bitcoins. 1,000 Bitcoins.

As transactions continued, Ye Chen's Bitcoin holdings grew rapidly. Then came the big deals.

10,000 Bitcoins.

20,000 Bitcoins.

25,000 Bitcoins.

Soon, the big transactions slowed down, replaced by smaller ones. This was expected—after all, not every Bitcoin holder had seen his post.

Ye Chen remained patient, knowing that as long as he kept the post up, more deals would come. In the meantime, he stepped out for lunch, returned to his room, and continued monitoring the forum.

However, something unexpected happened.

Somewhere across the globe, his rapid Bitcoin accumulation caught the attention of foreign investors. Someone else had started buying Bitcoin aggressively.

At first, Ye Chen didn't notice. But after an hour passed without a single transaction request, he sensed something was off.

Checking the forum, he discovered a new competitor—someone had raised the offer price to $0.02 per Bitcoin.

"So, someone wants to compete with me?" Ye Chen smirked.

Without hesitation, he raised his own offer to $0.03 per Bitcoin.

"Let's see if you can keep up," he muttered.

Within minutes, the competitor responded, increasing their offer.

"Oh? So they really want to challenge me? Are they a true believer in Bitcoin, or just a speculator?" Ye Chen wondered.

Smirking, he decided to test the waters further. He made a new post, openly calling out his competitor.

"If you have the guts, keep following my price. Let's see who lasts longer."

Then, without warning, he increased his offer to $0.10 per Bitcoin.

Less than a minute later, a massive transaction request came through—50,000 Bitcoins.

"Interesting..." Ye Chen narrowed his eyes. "Whoever this is, they wanted to get rid of a large amount all at once. Could it be…?"

Meanwhile, across the ocean, a young blond man with pimples covering his face grinned as he tapped his keyboard.

"Hah! This idiot actually bought them! I just made $4,000 with zero effort!"

Back in his hotel room, Ye Chen stared at the transaction details and let out a chuckle.

"So, I got played? Doesn't matter. In the long run, I win. When Bitcoin skyrockets, the real loser will be the one who sold those 50,000 Bitcoins to me."

The transactions continued through the day, though at a slower pace. By midnight, Ye Chen finally stopped.

He checked his balance—158,651 Bitcoins.

A satisfied smile spread across his face. "Feels good to be rich."

But there was no time to celebrate.

He had another opportunity ahead—one that would make this fortune even greater.

"Only a few hours left. It's time to use my second time-travel opportunity. If I wait too long, it'll be a waste."

With that thought, he packed up his laptop, left the hotel, and found a secluded alley.

Closing his eyes, he focused.

"Activate second time-travel!"

A system notification rang in his mind.

[Ding! Please set the time-travel destination.]

Ye Chen didn't hesitate. "December 17, 2017. 1:00 AM."

He knew what he was doing. The highest Bitcoin price in history was reached at 4:19 AM on that day. To maximize profits, he needed to sell before that peak, preferably at least an hour in advance to ensure all his coins were sold before the price dropped.

"Ding! Time-travel destination confirmed. Initiating transfer..."

A wave of dizziness washed over him.

When it faded, Ye Chen opened his eyes.

The alley looked almost the same, but the year had changed.

"Perfect. Now, let's find a hotel and start selling."

With a confident stride, he stepped into the future—ready to make history.
