THE SECRET JOURNAL OF NEIL PATEL #15

4/25/2022

 
WARNING: NEIL ❤️ TYPOS

Entry #15
​
I’m back. Where was I? <flipping back through pages>

Right! Crypto and the bikers. 

Well, so there we were, outside a gas station, them full of beer and sandwiches and me full of excitement that I had a captive audience and that I might not be their captive. Phew. 

I spent the first half hour showing them the different website where cryptocurrency could be obtained. The next half hour was spent answering questions, of which there were many. Questions like:
- “Can the government see what I’m buying?”
- “Is there a limit to how much I can buy?”
- “Can I leave to my kids if I die?”
Really just normal run-of-the-mill stuff. At least that’s what I was hoping. 

Some of the bikers had to leave and those remaining said goodbye with back slaps and rumbling belches. Classy but all in the name of brotherly love, Dear Diary. 

So we’re into the second our of crypto instruction and they’re getting it. Like really getting it. Their questions keep getting deeper, more nuanced. So I dive deeper into an explanation of how the whole system works, how blockchain and protocols keep things locked down tight. And they get it. 

I’m ashamed to say that I’d judged them by their appearance. I’ll try not to beat myself up too bad. They were acting more than a touch intimidating and they did filch me for food and booze. 

But the way their minds worked, taking a subject that was Mars foreign to most people on the planet and applying it to their everyday lives. Let’s just say I was a convert and made a mental note not to judge a book by its cover. 

Then the knife came out, plucked from a sheath and thrown, blade first, into the dirt in the middle of my feet.

“Okay, smart guy,” the biggest of them said. “Now show us how YOU use this stuff.”

I gulped and tried to gather my thoughts. This would take some quick thinking. 

But that’s the next story.

Stay tuned, Dear Diary. 

Your buddy,

Neil
