After reading my recent post, many have been wondering: BMC, how is it that you were into Bitcoin since the start and you're over here borrowing money from your dad to pay your phone bill?!

Fair enough. I can see where you're coming from but I'm sure even Jeff Bezos has borrowed 50 bucks from his dad recently. No?

Fine, fine. I'll tell you why. When I got into Bitcoin, it was about $0.002 a coin. All my friends were saying that they were buying Bitcoin. I felt left out...

So I went online and typed in 'buy cheap Bitcoin'. And there it was. Little Ricky's Bitcoin. Little Ricky said he was selling 2 Bitcoins for the price of one. It was an offer I couldn't refuse. I went all in.

I sold my car, took cash out of my credit cards, and made my way to meet Little Ricky. We met at a billiards lounge.

"Pick up your stick Ricky. Lets play a match before we conduct our business."

"I'm not much of a player..."

"Nonsense! Pick up your stick!"

I was trying to intimidate Ricky. Maybe I could drop the price a little more if I beat him at a game of pool.

Just as fast as the game began, it ended.

I lost...Bad...Little Ricky was good...Real good.

"Okay Little Ricky. Let's make the exchange."

"On second thought, I'll sell ya 1.5 Bitcoin for the price of one"

"What?! Fine, it's still a good deal."

I couldn't argue after getting beat so badly. We made the exchange and went our seperate ways. I was excited.

I called up all my buddies and told them I had a surprise to show them. They ran to my house knowing exactly what it was. As they huddled together on my couch I dragged in the chest of coins Little Ricky sold to me.

"Behold boys! 2,000,000 Bitcoins!"

I took a scoop of coins in one hand and let them trickle back into the chest. Suddenly, the room errupted in laughter.

"This is a joke right? It has to be. Wow. BMC, you really are a comedian."

My friends filed out one by one saying stuff like: "Nice one", "You got us!", and "Physical Bitcoin? Now that's physical comedy!"

That is the day I learned Bitcoins were not actually coins...I'm still waiting for Little Ricky to return my call. Little Ricky, if you're reading this, email me at [email protected].
