Why was the founder of Apple cheated of 7 bitcoins?
According to reports, Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple, said at the Times Global Business Summit: "I have been cheated of seven bitcoins by scammers.

"Someone bought my bitcoin online through a credit card, and then they canceled the credit card payment. However, because this credit card number was stolen, the cheated bitcoin can never be retrieved, "Wozniak said.

It is reported that Wozniak is still a supporter of cryptocurrency. He initially bought bitcoin for an experiment at a price of $700 each time.

Today, the price of Bitcoin is about $65,438 +00200, and the value of cryptocurrency stolen by Wozniak is about $765,438 +0400.

At the beginning of last year, Bitcoin rose several times from less than $65,438+0,000 yuan. This is the first application of blockchain technology, which eliminates the need for third parties (such as banks) by creating nearly instant, permanent and secure transaction records.

"Bitcoin is a currency for me that is not manipulated by the government. It is mathematical, pure and unchangeable, "Wozniak said in the report.

It is estimated that Wozniak is worth about $654.38 billion.
