I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. Back in my original world, I was informed of a newly discovered precious metal called b*tcoin by a traveling merchant. He said that all the nobles in the area were buying up the b*tcoin en masse. If I were to buy it right now from the traveling merchant, I’d be able to sell the b*tcoin to the nobles for at least double the price! Of course I immediately gathered up all my savings and bought all the b*tcoin that I could afford.

I brought my 0.013 b*tcoin to the nearest mansion that I could find and told them to bring out their fanciest tea, I have an important business offer to discuss. The guard at the gate looked shocked, but let me in when I told him that I was there for business. I sat down at the dinner table and the butler actually brought out some fancy looking tea. I sip the tea slowly, I’m going to be enjoying tea of this quality from now on because I’m going to be rich, baby!

The owner of the mansion enters the room to see me.

“So I heard you have a business offer?”

“Yes, I do. I’m sure you’ve been looking everywhere for this”

I set my small unopened box of b*tcoin on the table in front of myself.

The noble gulps, it seems like he’s excited. I’m sure he already knows exactly what I’m talking about.

“However, I had quite a hard time procuring this, since it’s in such high demand nowadays. I’m sure you won’t mind that the price is a little higher than market value.”

I smoothly and expertly write down a number on a piece of paper and slide it to him.

“10 million?!” He yells, clearly he’s surprised that I am willing to sell such a valuable item to someone who lives in such a shabby little mansion.

“Yes, now tell your butler to prepare some more expensive tea, this tastes like dog water.”

He signals to the butler to bring out the good stuff. A different butler is told to bring out a suitcase with 10 million.

Once I get my 10 million, I’m going to buy a mansion twice the size of this pathetic little thing we’re currently inside. I’ll also buy 10 gold painted carriages and of course I’ll intelligently continue my investment career with the money left over.

He opens the suitcase to prove that there’s 10 million in there.

“Here it is, 10 million, show me the goods”

After taking a sip of tea, I grab my box and open it up right in front of his eyes, I could see his eyes sparkling from its luster.

“0.013 b*tcoin right here, unfungible”

I was promptly removed from the mansion for “trying to sell a useless rock”

Was this b*tcoin really just a useless rock? I sold everything in my possession because I knew that I would be making a guaranteed 10x return on my investment, but now you’re saying that my net worth is just 1 worthless rock?

My bad habit must be that I act quickly before thinking about the possibility of failure, and I’m starting to think that I’ve made yet another mistake due to that bad habit…
