Chapter 205: Chapter 146 BTC Transactions

Allen Zhang: Tens of thousands of dollars isn’t even enough for the down payment on a house, and that’s just in an average community, not to mention those fully-furnished apartments in Rich District. This car is something I’m fairly satisfied with. I have other uses for this money; I can’t spend it all on an auction.

Mary: I understand, I wouldn’t want to invest all my money in the bar either, it’s too risky!

Allen Zhang: It’s just because I’m too poor.

Mary: You’re too modest! My boyfriend, at your age, his family still had to buy him a bicycle. You’re young and already driving a $50,000 car, and have tens of thousands in savings, you’ve already surpassed 99% of your peers on the streets!

Allen Zhang: What does your boyfriend do?

Mary: He’s a server, just like me, working at a convenience store. We plan to think about marriage after we have some savings, but he spends all day gaming after work, doesn’t seem like he has that on his mind.

Allen Zhang: Men are like that, I like playing games too.

The General Sect Leader really likes realistic battle games.

After listening to the gossip about Mary and her boyfriend, Allen Zhang put away his phone and drove back to the bridge camp.

He arrived just in time for breakfast. Dominic also went to call Jesse over, and Allen found out that today was the day for subsidy and shopping voucher distribution. No wonder on his way back, he saw every homeless person on the street brimming with the joy of freeloading.

After breakfast, Allen Zhang contacted Rena to ask about her market trading matters.

Rena: Where do you think would be a good place to display our merchandise?

Allen Zhang: I think Duckling Street should be fine, there’s a market right there, the cops don’t patrol and inspect there, it’s tacitly accepted as a gathering and trading spot for the homeless. It used to be Short-tail Dog’s territory, but now it’s ours.

Last time they drove there, Black was setting up his stall, and Jennifer was picking on the honest folks.

Not sure if Black made enough money to bail his thick-coated ones out yet.

The General Sect Leader appreciates Black for genuinely living by his craft.

Not only are his products high-quality and affordably priced, but he also provides after-sales service – if you get robbed after buying something, he’d risk getting beaten unrecognizable to retrieve it for you. Look at that professional dedication, and then look at the salespeople from those big name brands.

Rena: OK, I’ll notify the guys to transport the goods there. Let your people know as well, those interested can go take a look.

After chatting a bit more with her and setting some rules, Allen Zhang also informed Dominic, telling him to take people there to stock up when he has time.

No tax to be paid, plus discounts lower than market price. What do you still need a bicycle for?

These are the benefits that the General Sect Leader has fought for you!

"I’ll let Leo and Monica know about this. Many people indeed need wheelchairs and canes, and if there are more pain relievers and medical supplies, or even Playboy magazines, that’d be better," Dominic responded with suggestions.

The homeless on the streets often go hungry and sleep rough, more than daily necessities – which can be freely obtained at shelters – they are deprived of spiritual comfort and self-respect.

When they are hungry and tired, all they long for is free meals. Once they have savings from collecting cans, new clothes, and a place to live, naturally, their daily standards and aspirations increase.

Playboy magazine is just right!

Comparable to the benefactors from the P-website.

But using data for short videos and the P-website costs too much monthly. It’s better to get some affordable Playboy sets – you can read it first and then pass it on. Now that we’re all hobos anyway, who needs high standards?

If you’re feeling uncomfortable, just take a pain reliever to ease it and enjoy yourself. Isn’t that cool?

Allen Zhang took Dominic’s advice. After all, this was only a pilot business – whatever sells well, without being told, they’ll definitely stock up more of the same goods next time.

After all, they’re eyeing the clean money in your hands, and exchanging it for relatively unclean goods, nobody loses out!

That’s the nature of trading.

Not even the General Sect Leader is at a loss, right? We all have a bright future.

Allen Zhang took out his phone and logged into a virtual exchange app, unlocking a cold wallet with a decrypted password, revealing the presence of 0.2 Bitcoins.

"Is this a cold wallet? Did you buy it?"

Jennifer leaned over for a look, and then did a double-take.

Rubbing her eyes, BTC 0.2.

Surprised, "When did you get into Bitcoin? Did you mine it?"

"Picked it up," Allen Zhang said truthfully.

"Nonsense, the encryption key is surely only known by the wallet’s owner, you can’t use it if you picked it up," Jennifer flat-out didn’t believe him.

"It looks like you’re now the richest one here! I knew I wasn’t wrong about you!" She gloated for her good judgment.

Allen Zhang didn’t explain much, simply asking, "I want to cash out these Bitcoins, do you have channels for that?"

The value of Virtual Coin fluctuates daily; it’s not stable in hand, US dollars are more attractive.

"I know some coin traders who hoard a lot of Virtual Coin, and there are many buyers on the Black Market app too, but there are also a lot of scammers. Offline transactions can lead to being ripped off, and cash transactions are generally below market price but not by too much. I’ll ask them how much they can offer because with something good like Bitcoin and its decentralized features, there’s bound to be demand."
