This post is part of a paid contest by Dogezer and organized by @originalworks and by the time you are reading this, the contest is probably already over. I hope you enjoy reading it anyway.

"Dogezer And The Three Daughters"

"Hey Kara, it's me Julia. Do you have a moment?"

"Yea, sure. Did you talk to dad about it?"

"Yes, that's why I'm calling you. I am so pissed right now!" She sat down on the terrace and took a sip of the hot coffee. "I'm gonna start with the bad news: He won't fund us!" she angrily added.

"What? Why? Not even a negotiation?" Kara gave back.

"No, apparently, they got a profit warning at the bank and now his bonus is going to be slashed in half since he's such a public person. What an idiot," she commented while lighting a cigarette. "What did mom just think when she married him? Was it the money?"

"Well, if it was that, it definitively hasn't worked out," Kara gave her back. "What a dick!"

"You say it. I got a text before from Laura. She talked to mom and she told her that he's not going to give us the money, but.. get this," Julia theatrically gestured, "of course he still can afford this new Porsche that he's bragging about all the time. I hate him so much!"

"Damnit, sometimes he really is an ass. What are we gonna do now? Go to Goldman and make it public so everyone knows?"

"That's the other thing Laura texted me about. She says we should go to some dogsite," Julia said, not really knowing about it herself.

"Ok. But wait a second please, I'm in the middle of a construction area and I have to find a quiet place and sit down for a moment," Kara said. "Can I call you back in two minutes?" She was standing in a hallway in the industrial park and the noise was too loud.

"No problem. I will call Laura and ask her to join us in the call," Julia gave back.

"Ok, hear you in a bit," said Kara and hung up. Luckily, a door in the hallway was open and behind it there was an empty office room. Perfect. She went in, closed the door and put her Laptop on the desk.

Then her phone rang again.

"Hey sis, it's me Laura from the anti-social-dad family!" Laura said laughingly and Kara could hear Julia laughing in the background as well.

"Ok, let's have a little conference. Question is: How do we finance our startup and should we go to the competition and publicly smear it into dads face?" Kara said. "I bet they would give us the money."

"Or this dogsite you've mentioned, Laura, what is that about again?" Kara threw in.

"Oh, it's not a dog site, it's called Dogezer. It's a new Startup and my friends are talking about it all the time. It's a web based project management and finance tool where you can fund and run your software projects," Laura explained. "I think it might be something for us."

"Is it something like Basecamp? Not sure if we need that. I mean, we need a good financing deal right now. Team building and management is only 2nd right now," Julia gave back.

"Didn't your blockchain-crypto-boyfriend give you that. How is it going with him by the way?" Kara added.

"Alex and I are good, thanks," Laura smiled, "and yes, it is a token platform where you can give our your own project coin like shares and with that hire interested programmers and so on. And when the project starts generating revenue, you can buy back your coin. Well, or leave them on the market there depending on the price and your plans. Alex says, that's perfect for our fashion software and I think we should try it."

"It does sound interesting and given its underlying concept, it might be perfect to teach dad a lesson," Julia added.

"But is this," Kara wondered, "what is the name again, Dogezer already a working thing or just another dream where you get the middlefinger at the end?"

"Oh, they got a website, the functionality is up and they are basically waiting for customers," Laura replied.

"Can you give me the URL please," Kara asked.

"It's Dogezer dot com, but right now they only have an alpha online which is on Dogezer dot io," Laura answered while typing it into the browser herself.

"Dammit, I don't have computer here, unless one of you knows dads password," Julia looked at her dad's laptop that was lying on the couch next to her.

"Try 'Porsche'. It's surely not one of our names," Kara gave her back with a sour undertone.

"Ok, I'll try," Julia replied. "OMG, it worked, I'm in. I cannot believe it. At least he could have added some numbers."

"Like what, '911' or which one does he want to buy, the '918'?" said Kara with 25 percent more sarcasm.

"Hehe, what's the URL again, sis?" Julia asked.

"The official site is Dogezer dot com, but the running alpha is on Dogezer dot io," Laura said.

"Oh, that's strange. Dad seemed to have typed in that URL before," Julia mumbled. "But this looks good. Not bad."

"Yes it does," Laura answered, "Alex says, it still is the alpha, but the functionality is fully up and you can already start projects. So even if we don't use it right now, we could at least check out its potentials to see if we might need it later and I can ask Alex if we have problems with it."

"This looks really good," Kara was impressed, "and the functionalities are really the entire spectrum of what we would need as well: A marketplace to hire staff, a repository, documents editor, task manager, cloud storage and so on. Is that all up already?"

"Apparently," Laura replied. "I'd say we should try it. How about we create a project and see where it gets us?"

"Ok, why not. I mean, it's a pay by revenue model anyway, isn't it?" Julia asked.

"Seems just like that. So let's do it," Kara said.

"Ok great! Alex is gonna love it when I'm telling him about this. He's really is totally into this whole blockchain stuff and I am still thankful that he told me about the Bitcoins when they were cheap. You won't believe how he laughed about it when dad made his statement.. and oh my god, speak of the devil, he's on TV again," Laura said shocked.

"What is he saying?" the other two asked.

"Turn up the volume so we can hear it," Julia threw in.

"Ok, wait. Here it is:"

"So," the interviewer said, "a few months back you famously called Bitcoin a fraud and told a story about one of your daughters who bought Bitcoin back then and who made fun of you because she made a lot of money with it. You publicly called her stupid for buying Bitcoin at 2,000 Dollar, but now after the crash in the New Year, Bitcoin still is well over that value and the blockchain and crypto market are alive and well. Do you have any regrets, Mr Dimon?"

Inspired by actual events and individuals.
