Should I call the police or relocate to Fiji Island to live a quiet life?

Saturday morning is my favorite day of the week because I get to walk my dog around my neighborhood, say hello to passersby, have breakfast, and take a nap.

However, something strange happened today. While scrolling through my phone and watching the Bitcoin chart, I suddenly fell asleep. It wasn’t a deep sleep, as I could still sense what was happening around me.

In that semi-conscious realm, my phone beeped, and as I reached out to check the message alert, but the screen became blurred, and the phone slipped from my hand because I was drowsy.

Suddenly, I had thoughts of someone sending me 15,000 units of Bitcoin. I became excited and started thinking about what I should do with such a large sum of money, knowing that one Bitcoin was trading at over $60,000 the last time I checked before falling asleep.

While still in the semi-conscious realm, I considered whether I should transfer the Bitcoins to my ledger or send them to a centralized exchange to cause panic in the market so I could act like a crypto whale (bear).

I also thought of donating half of the amount to different orphanage homes and helping the less privileged.

Another idea was to cash in and go on vacation to Dubai, Paris, or Singapore, or relocate to Fiji Island or Thailand to live a quiet life.

Lastly, I thought of calling the police to report the incident and avoid getting into trouble.

My Dentist Calling

While pondering over the various options, my phone rang, and I answered the call. To my surprise, my dentist called to ask if it was safe to invest in Bitcoin now. I told him I would get back to him and hung up.

When I fully regained consciousness, I realized everything was just a dream.

So, I quickly opened my crypto wallet app to check if someone had actually sent me 15,000 units of Bitcoin, but there was nothing in my wallet.

Feeling a bit angry for disturbing my nap, I replied to my dentist with a tweet from Michael Saylor saying that “Everyone gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve”. See the screenshot below. But he felt embarrassed by my response. Did I say something bad?
