I Became a Genius Engineer

Blockchain developer Cheolwoo Lee (2)

That evening, I met Sang-chul Lee, the successor to the army, and Cho Hyuk, the team leader who had been dispatched there.

“Hey, who is this? Isn’t it Lee Cheol-woo, the hero of national salvation!”

I haven’t seen Sangcheol hyung in a long time, and he welcomed me very warmly.

“Ah, brother! Don’t say that. If anyone hears it, it’ll be annoying. No, and I was the senior in the army!”

“Is this the army? Society. Society.”

“Um… that’s right, society. Then you know that society has its rules, right?”

“huh?”

“I think if I set my mind to it, I might be able to annoy you a little in your social life.”

I played a little bit.

“……Why are you suddenly frightened?”

“No, hahahahaha, it’s a joke. A joke.”

“It’s terrifying, if you become an enemy of the hero who saved the country…”

“Ah, jjom! What is a hero who saved the country. So old-fashioned.”

While Sang-cheol and hyung joked after a long time, team leader Cho Hyuk also arrived at the meeting place.

“Oh, it’s late. I have some work at home.”

“hahahaha, it’s been a while. Are you still living well, team leader?”

“sure.”

“Go inside and do the details.”

We went into the lounge bar.

You place a few simple orders, and the conversation continues right away.

“No, so what? Do you work in the same place?”

“Yeah, Team Manager Cho Hyuk ended up scouting me. I’m currently working for Interpol.”

“Interpol? The International Criminal Police Organization?”

It was unexpected. to work in such a place

“Yeah, I happened to be there.”

“Wow, that’s great. So you’re investigating international cybercrime or something?”

“Well, that’s because I’m in the Cyber Investigation Unit. Me and Chief Cho Hyuk.”

“Oh, that’s great. Sang-cheol hyung was talented as well.”

“…… I’m going to do you, ITE-X.”

“ha ha ha…….”

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen it, so I was very happy and had a lot of fun.

While having a drink, we talk about various things.

“Oh, come to think of it. There was a request from DT for an investigation in the past. Catch the culprit who leaked their algorithm C*.”

… … . Wait, is that the culprit?

Sang-cheol hyung investigated that? With Chief Jo Hyuk?

“……. so?”

“Is it you?”

“Uh… um… no.”

“Your face is all marked? We’re detectives now. Although we’re dispatched.”

“No. Anyway.”

“hahahahaha, I’ll believe you. Anyway, to tell you more, there was a request for an investigation, but we didn’t even investigate.”

“Eh? Why?”

“Yeah, I didn’t have to, and I couldn’t catch it.”

“okay?”

Of course, how did I bypass the IP.

“Well, there are people who can guess… hahahahaha. I didn’t want to investigate too much.”

“hahahahaha. Bartender! Bring me one of the most expensive drinks here.”

I called the bartender and ordered the most expensive drink.

I must buy something good.

“hahahaha, I’ll eat well.”

“So what do you mean again? You invested in Bitcoin and it crashed?”

“…don’t touch the sore spot.”

“Hyung told me that it’s hard these days. Isn’t that asking for money?”

Since I suddenly had a lot of money, I got calls from all over the place. Asking for money, asking for money… … . Of course, I declined all of them.

I wondered if Sang-cheol was like that too.

“No! What the hell did you see me as?”

Judging by the expression on her face, it seems that it is not that way.

Well, if Sang-cheol, who I saw when I was in the military, was the older brother, he wasn’t that kind of person.

“Then, I’m curious. Let me know.”

“Hmm… Do you know what Bitcoin is?”

“I heard from my brother and looked up a little bit. Transparent currency using block chain ledger transaction technology. Encryption chunk.”

Bitcoin was created with a technology called blockchain, which was a block of encryption.

There were many concepts here and there, but the key was that it was a currency made of cryptography.

“Right. Did you understand the concept?”

“Yeah. I searched and found all of them.”

“… Wow, that’s amazing. It took me over a week to understand that too.”

“So did you buy that bitcoin? No, more than that, how did you find out about that?”

“Are we conducting an international investigation?”

“Yeah. Because I said I was at Interpol.”

“That bitcoin is used a lot in crime. It’s still like that.”

“Eh? Yes?”

“Yes. Since there is no central bank and it is online, it is probably used a lot in the dark world, payment is easy, and you can exchange money with a bitcoin exchange.”

“ah…….”

“So it came to me naturally.”

“Then why did you buy it?”

Cryptographic digital currency.

Is it really worth it?

Clearly, blockchain technology is definitely groundbreaking and great. But if you ask if it has any practical value, well?

I’m not sure yet.

“Because of course, the value will go up in the future.”

“Um, is that so?”

“huh.”

“Why? Why do you think you’re going up?”

I’m not sure yet, but Sang-cheol hyung thinks something a little different?

“Well… it’s transparent, and there’s no central institution. Um… Yeah, what should I say? Democracy in the business world?”

“Economic democracy?”

“Uh, you know the concept and correlation between blockchain and nodes, i.e. miners, right?”

“You know. The more nodes there are, the more validators there are.”

“Um, so if I were to tell you a little more about my thoughts……(omitted)…… so I think it’s economic democracy. .”

Sang-cheol hyung spoke at length about his thoughts.

“Hmm… do you think so?”

And after hearing what he said, I changed my mind a bit.

Certainly, the technology is great.

That great technology, people will know someday. And then the value will go up tremendously.

“See? Do you think so?”

“It’s tempting. I’ll have to look into it a bit more.”

“No, the team leader. The team leader wants you to buy some. You don’t know how long this will work.”

Sang-cheol spoke to team leader Cho Hyuk, who was listening quietly by the side.

“hahahahaha, I’m a person who doesn’t even stock up on things like that because I’m a gem disease.”

“It’s okay. Don’t regret it later.”

“Do you think you’re regretting it now?”

“…… Anyway, Cheol-woo. You have a lot of money. Invest it once.”

Sang-cheol turned his target on me again.

“Okay, I’ll think about it a little more. And I know the concept of technology, but I haven’t seen the source yet. I’m sure I’m more interested in hearing what you say.”

“Yes, yes, Cheol-woo, you will recognize the value right away.”

“So how much did you buy it for and how much is it now?”

I was more curious about Bitcoin.

“Is it June? I bought it for 700,000 won, but now it’s down to 500,000 won…”

“You mean you bought it for 700,000 won?”

Bitcoin can be split into decimal units, so I asked just in case.

“Uh. A total of 20? Worth 14 million won.”

“It must have fallen to 10 million won now.”

“Uh. 4 million won. Lost.”

From noble mtl dot com

“……. This drink costs 4 million won?”

“…”

Sang-cheol hyung was at a loss for words.

“Ugh. Well, but by investing.”

“No, if I do, I will climb someday.”

“What do you mean by johnber?”

“It’s f*cking holding up.”

“Um… yes…”

“Think carefully, I think it’s really worth it. It’s just a short run down.”

“Okay. I’ll discuss it with Minseok.”

I wonder if Minseok knows better about economics?

“Okay, let’s have a drink.”

“uh.”

braided-!

A clear sound echoes as the cup collides with the cup.

“Ah, CEO Lee Cheol-woo.”

“Ah, Team Leader Cho Hyuk, why are you so stiff? Just call me by my first name.”

“It’s okay… yo?”

“I think you’ve already said something?”

“hahahahaha, but I’m famous all over the world, how can I?”

“All right. What a big deal.”

“Okay. Then I’ll call you Cheol-woo’s younger brother.”

“Yes. I’m comfortable with that too. Everyone is talking about the CEO and the CEO, how distant I feel. So why did they call me?”

“Ah, did I say I was bored?”

“yes.”

“We have one dispatch position left in Interpol, how about it?”

“Uh, um… are you offering to scout?”

“No, it’s not like that. I’m just asking. If you really have nothing to do, ask for help.”

hmm… … . It was a bit tempting.

There were many places to work, such as Hyunseong, LF, CNC, and AHS, but I didn’t really want to do it. Maybe you’ve already tried it once.

But what about Interpol?

I got interested. what do you do there

I felt like I could touch the technology of bitcoin and block chain.

“You just put a leash on me, didn’t you?”

“Eh~ No way, how can I keep the leash on?

“……A bit like a freelancer?”

“That’s right. Cheolwoo, everyone in Korea knows your ability now, so you’ll be very grateful just for coming, right?”

“Oh, okay. Then I’ll think about it and get back to you.”

“okay.”

“Have another drink.”

braided-!

Cups clashed against each other, and the night was ripe.

* * *

The next day, I called Minseok to the club room.

“Sorry. I was supposed to be busy, but I was told to come and go. It’s still a bit burdensome to join LF.”

“What on earth is there to be burdened with?”

Minseok asked with an expression that he did not understand.

“Um… how to say, do you think I’m in charge of those people?”

“It’s not wrong. Um… Now that I think about it, I guess so. Their livelihood rests on your shoulders.”

“Are you burdened?”

“hahahaha, no, don’t be burdened. Because the ITE-X engine can already take care of those people’s livelihood.”

“Well, anyway, it’s still like that.”

“Yes, whenever you are ready, come. They will welcome you.”

“Thank you. For leading the LF well.”

“no.”

“ha ha ha…….”

I thought it was very fortunate that I met Minseok. If it wasn’t for Minseok, I would have been lost in various ways.

“So what’s the matter? Why did you call me all this way? They usually do everything over the phone. That means it’s that important, right?”

“I recently found out about Bitcoin, and I wanted to know what you think about it.”

“Bitcoin? What is it?”

Minseok was also unaware of the existence of Bitcoin.

“What it is, is a cryptocurrency created with blockchain ledger transaction technology.”

“Uh… even if you explain it technically at length, I don’t know.”

“Um… how do you explain this? Oh, that would be nice.”

“What?”

“Didn’t we go to internet cafes and play games often? And there’s game money there, right?”

“Uh. That’s right.”

“The game money can be arbitrarily manipulated by the game company, right?”

“uh.”

Of course, game money was a part that could be arbitrarily manipulated by game companies.

All you have to do is change the values in the database.

“But Bitcoin is not like that. Multiple miners, that is, nodes, are verified and sent and issued, so someone cannot arbitrarily manipulate them.”

“Oh? Yes? It’s virtual money and you can’t manipulate it?”

“huh.”

“that’s interesting?”

“Yeah, that’s blockchain, in other words, distributed ledger technology. And with that, it’s decentralized.”

“Um… please explain a bit more.”

“People I know say that in the future economic democracy will be achieved with Bitcoin.”

“Economic democracy? Tell me a little more.”

Minseok kept asking if there was anything that caught him.

“So, because it becomes decentralized … (omitted) … it becomes possible to achieve economic democracy.”

Sang-cheol relayed what he had heard from his older brother.

“…!”

After hearing the last explanation, Minseok’s expression changed to surprise.

“Are you sure about the technology?”

“uh.”

There were some minor flaws, but fundamentally it was a perfect technique.

“Bitcoin? Let’s invest there.”

Minseok said with a confident expression.
