It happened that I decided to go out and get a little tipsy. I was at my table with a chilled bottle of Heineken and a plate of boiled fresh fish. Two cab drivers drove in. They picked a single table for themselves very close to mine.
John: My chairman, how was today's work, hope you didn't pay tithe to these criminals that stand on the road waiting to collect money for no reason.
Pablo: Am I mad? I used to dodge them at all costs. How monkey go work, baboon go chop?. Am saving money to invest more in crypto. No time to be dull.
When he said crypto I became interested, with the hope of learning something new, so I decided to eavesdrop on them even though my people used to say that "gossip purges".
John: legend!!!. You know the way. Those policemen won't see my money again. Please, I have been hearing about crypto but I don't know much about it. Do you mind sharing it with me?
Pablo: Haa! you are yet to join crypto? You are dulling. As you are seeing me like this, I have bought like $2000 USDT, when it rises, I will have like $10,000 USDT.
I wanted to laugh because I know USDT is a stable coin but a voice whispered to me, "why don't you enjoy yourself with the conversation, flow along and have fun". So, I held the laughter while sipping my drink.
John: This is a good investment. Seems I will buy my own USDT and wait for it to rise. I need to prepare well for Christmas now.
Pablo: Yes, I will take you to the guy that has been teaching me all this crypto stuff. He will buy the USDT for you and you will be surprised what you will have when it rises.
John: That's good. I also heard about Bitcoin, they said it is the father of all cryptocurrency, what do you think about it?
Pablo: Leave Bitcoin Bro, Shiba Inu is far better than Bitcoin. Bitcoin is getting old, Shiba Inu is the new trend.
At this point, I felt like I needed to direct these guy because it appears he doesn't know what he is saying. So, I joined the conversation.
Hello Sir, Good evening, I think you are getting things wrong. First, USDT is not a volatile coin, it can't appreciate in value. You use it to……
Pablo: Young man, take a chill pill. You don't know anything about crypto, Ok, do you know how to trade daily?
I wanted to answer him but I noticed that the dude is on another level. He is on his fourth bottle and he is ordering the fifth one, so I decided to keep quiet because there is no point arguing with him.
Pablo: You see, he doesn't know it. Let me teach you, silly boy. You trade by buying when the price is rising and selling when the price begins to fall.
At this point, I heard someone laughing beside me. The guy has been listening to the whole gist. I couldn't help but join him to laugh.
John: But if you buy high and sell at a low price, how will you make a profit?
Pablo: If you are an expert like the guy that teaches me, you will understand how it works. This is crypto, it doesn't work like normal money.
He didn't take money from me for all this tutorial. He only asked for my wallet to be registered. I gave him my wallet keys. He said now that he has registered my wallet, I should see what happens to the wallet in a few weeks. You should save up money and join us on time.
I got up to leave because even though the whole thing is funny, it is also irritating.
Pablo: Hey, young man, by next month my USDT will rise. I am going to buy you a beer. Just remind me if you see me.
Ok, Sir, I look forward to it, but that if you even have anything left in your wallet.
I went out, took a cab, and laughed all through the journey. It is funny seeing people teaching what they don't know
