Crypterium CEO Visits Fiat Bank, Takes 1 and 2

EXT. DAY - IN FRONT OF COLLAPSING FIAT BANK

A well-suited fin calmly approaches a giant, teetering glass tower while panicked analysts flee in all directions.

The board of the bank, flees past the fin, but the BOARD CHAIRMAN bumps into the CRYPTERIUM CEO by pure accident.

The Board Chairman is dragging a huge SUITCASE full of MILLION DOLLAR BILLS.

FIAT BANK BOARD CHAIRMAN
Know, what? YOLO. Let's do this. Just give us .05 percent of something, sign these papers, and then shots. We should keep moving though, nobody knows which direction that thing is going to fall in and I have to take this suitcase full of money to Bermuda A.S.A.P.

FADE TO BLACK

NARRATOR (V.O.)
That is one way it could go. But what if it goes this way?

FIAT BANK TIER 1 TECHNICAL SUPPORT
Yes, I get it. You could take your magic internet money to buy toiletpaper at Failmart in order to help North Korea trade children for nuclear weapons. And then make me take all the heat from the IRS about it which would require more paperwork than there is existing paper on earth, by the way.

Yeah, yeah, buy things at stores. You know what though, if I could pay my roommates rent in coin using a phone app or buy musical instruments off craigslist with a coin, that would really be enough.
