Good morning my good man, what have you got for me today then?
er, the number 71 sir.
What's that then?
Well, it's the number 71. very popular you know, selling like hot cakes.
Brilliant, how much is it?
One thousand one hundred and twenty four dollars sir,
"One thousand one hundred and twenty four dollars, are you fucking nuts?"
Very popular today sir, just sold number 69 and number 53.
Why so expensive?
Because it's a currency sir.
But you said it was number 71!
Yes but it's not just any number 71, it s a 'currency' number 71 you see, it's
encrypted.
Why'd you encrypt it?
Well, so no one else can have it, obviously.
Ah, I get it. Ok count me in. Here's the cash, now where's the offending
article.
It s in here sir.
Where?
It's inside sir.
OK, so how do I get it out?
Well you jump in a plane and fly to Canada where there's an ATM somewhere that
you can take it out from.
Peachy, just peachy. OK, so where can I spend it?
Any one of these places sir
Hmm, not very long is it? Is this just locally?
Kind of, well pretty much kind of worldwide, but it s growing every day. Of
course, most people don't actually 'spend' it, they just hold onto it for a
while. If you buy a digital photo frame you ll be able to look at pictures of
nice coins you haven t got.
I thought it was a currency? How long do I hold onto it for?
Till everyone else wants to get out I suppose sir.
And then it will be worth how much?
Fucking loads sir, very expensive sir, selling like hot cakes.
Sod that, what else have you got?
How about number 71 sir, very expensive, selling like hot cakes?
But I've just bought number 71.
Not in this format sir.
How much is this one?
$1.60 sir.
What? Why so cheap?
Cos nobody wants number 71 in this particular format sir.
Why not?
Because you can t do anything with this one sir.
So why would I want to buy it?
Because everyone else is going to want to buy it very soon.
Why?
Because it s the number fucking 71 sir, and there s only one number 71.
But that s what you said last time.
Yes but that was in that format. This is different. Different people already
own it.
You re fucking nuts. What else have you got?
This one s just in sir, very special, it s gonna sell like hot cakes sir,
number 71
Fuck that, can you get me a cab?
Not unless you ve got some cash sir
But I've just spent all that buying this. I know, can I interest you in this
number 71 I ve just bought?
You must be joking sir, I ve got billions of those in here
