 A STORY OF HOW EARLY WE ARE TO #BITCOIN

At an appointment today the two very friendly receptionist gals told me I had a great voice, and said I should do ASMR or voiceovers.

I told them I have a podcast.

They asked what it was about. 

I said “Bitcoin.”

Receptionist 1: “oh no, that’s too boring.”

Me: “I think it’s important to talk about how the government steals from us through inflation, and how Bitcoin is a solution for individuals to escape that.”

Receptionist 2: “Isn’t that done? Like not around anymore? Didn’t it go down?”

Me: “No, it’s still very much around.”

Receptionist 2: “have you heard of [shitcoin]?”

Me: “yes, but I focus on Bitcoin because it’s the only thing not centrally controlled.”

Receptionist 2: “so you can just buy bitcoin, or how do you get it?”

Me: “yeah it’s easy, you buy it just like you would a stock.”

Receptionist 1: “you can buy it on CashApp.”

Me: “you seem to know about Bitcoin?”

Receptionist 1: “my fiancé has Bitcoin and [shitcoin].”

Me: “I’m not into [shitcoin], but glad he’s into Bitcoin.”

Receptionist 2: so where can we find your podcast? 

Me: just go to http://titcoin.org (I was wearing a nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8  shirt)

Both: [laugh uproariously]

>> After my appointment >>

Receptionist 2: so, are you going to start an ASMR podcast?

Me: I might just have to. 

Receptionist 1: and in the meantime we can just go to Titcoin.org

Both: [laugh uproariously]
