Love Me Some Bitcoin

Whatever it is

Ok! So if I love bitcoin so much, how come I don’t know what it is? There’s actually a rational explanation.

Once upon a time, I had an escort blog. I’d write about anything that moved me at the moment (which is exactly what I do here) and derived income from selling advertising to escort services, massage parlors etc. in addition to posting a few affiliate ads on the sidebar.

The girls paid me in cash. But the affiliates either sent a check or forwarded a payment electronically. One would not pay American dollars. They only compensated the affiliates with bitcoin!

This required at least some knowledge…including what bitcoin was…and how to set something up on the internet which could receive the payment.

I took (and take) a dim view of bitcoin as the non-existent coin has no intrinsic value — and its trading price on any given day fluctuates considerably. But I wanted my commission.

So I successfully set up an account whereupon a small fraction of a bitcoin was forwarded to that account by my affiliate.

Because I opted for some lifetime plan on that ad, money continues to trickle in even though I shut the blog down two years ago. At first, I converted my bitcoin into dollars by forwarding the converted commission to my day-to-day bank account.

But then after a while, I just left whatever payments I received in the virtual money account. Yesterday, bitcoin hit an all-time high. Actually, it rose 15% in one day. What’s in that account now is roughly four times as much as it was just a year or two ago. Not bad! Now you see why I’m lovin’ me some bitcoin!

I’ll tell y’all what. Whatever bitcoin is…I’m in! Not that I’m going to buy any more bitcoins — as I view it as some sort of Wall Street style hustle. But it’s nice to be on the winning end of a scam for a change.

Maybe I should cash in now. Who knows? Regardless, I don’t picture it dropping back to its levels of two years ago. And I hear it’s going up another 50% in the next year. I’ll just hold. It’s all found money at this point anyway.
