It’s not just for money: Couple immortalizes love on blockchain

How far will you go for a marriage proposal?

Candlelit dinners and flowers are out for a couple who recently decided to go all-in on the concept of modern romance and professed their undying love using the bitcoin blockchain.

A couple of days ago, an individual named Sun Chun Yu popped the question on the blockchain network, which was mined by Chinese bitcoin company, HaoBTC. Sun posted the message, “Zhuang Yuan, will you marry me?” for which he received a resounding “Yes!” in reply.

That proposal was actually worth 25 bitcoins, or about $18,353 in today’s price—not a bad way to declare. On Friday, the price of bitcoin fell to $734.14 with close to 15.67 million bitcoins in circulation.
