...Just as Hubba Bubba was thinking back to that fateful day and 'man number six', (https://peakd.com/freewrite/@lucylin/th-jenga-offensive-part-2-hubba-bubba ) and just as Kevin - who was half way across the world - was paying homage to his sphincter muscles for not letting him down right at the crucial moment - Nigel was screaming hysterically at his computer screen!
He'd just lost 20 billion dollars in bitcoin!
He was intending to send his very large stash to an account that he kept hidden away, a secret wallet... BUT , just as he pressed 'send', he noticed that the address was not the correct one!
It was too late - it'd gone!
He doubted very much that the now immensely wealthy webcam girl, would return his money... Or even any of his calls come to think of it.
He blamed Trevor for this monumental lapse in concentration.
Trevor was the only friend that he'd ever had.
...It was a lonely job, being a virtue signalling keyboard warrior, and it didn't lend itself well to having much of a social life in the real world.
(Not that Nigel had been very social before finding the internet and investing in bitcoin).
...Trevor had come into his life quite unexpectedly around two months ago.
Nigel remembered that day clearly...
...On that fortuitous day of meeting Trevor for the first time, Nigel was deliberating ...hard....
'...Would it be a good idea to move the fridge away from his computer?'
Nigel's conundrum...
At the moment the fridge was within easy reach for him as he trolled online...And He could easily turn around, and retrieve his 2 liter bottle of diet coke, without missing a single tap on the keyboard.
He also knew that by shifting the fridge over from one side of his basement to the other , it would mean more exercise - and that was something that he knew he needed very badly.
If he was to ever have any hope of seeing in his midlife crisis, he needed to start moving more...
The years of cheeto's, taco's, diet coke, and the 22 hours of online, 'shoot 'em up game' marathons, were beginning to take their toll...
...it was in his mid-deliberation of 'the fridge issue' that Trevor said 'Hi'.
It wasn't so much of a 'HI', but more of an 'OWWWW!
Trevor had just bitten him on his scrotum.
Trevor was a tick.
A tick that had, somehow, found his way onto Nigel's ball sack.
Trevor was the first interaction with an actual living thing that Nigel had had , in nearly a year.
Obviously, He didn't include his weekly online 'date' with a cam girl as a living thing.
( and now most probably an ex cam girl.... seeing that she was now so incredibly wealthy').
....And that's how Trevor came to be Nigel's best friend....
How do you lose 20 billion dollars? Do you put it out in the garage, and then forget you have a garage?
Do you put it in a big room, and then wonder later why the room is so small, and what an interesting wall paper?
Are you going color blind and losing your sight so you just do not see the color green anymore?
How do you lose 20 billion dollars?
Send it to the wrong BTC address...-simples!
Okay, I sure didn't see that end coming to the story! What a hoot!
lol, cool!
There are many twists and turns coming...
