Interview with the Immortal
Tags: Bitcoin, Interview, Digital, Token Sale, Blockchain

Many people have attended funerals. That’s life — we’re all going to die one day. Some people have been to their own funerals: faking your own death is not something new to anyone. Every ambitious top corruptionist has faced this hard challenge. However, one character has been to his own funeral more than 300 times!

For three hundred times he has watched himself being buried, people discussing this sorrowful event, dishing how he lived, what he did, what would the world be without him. Don’t you believe? You should!

Today he is our guest. We are glad to welcome His Serene Highness! The King of Digital Transactions and Crypto World — Bitcoin!

- Hello! How did you feel at your own funerals?

- Greetings to all of my supporters! As usual, I am glad to see you being rich and motivated. Oh, competitors are also here. Good evening, young man. How are things going for your papa Vitalik? Hasn’t he had enough of playing with Ethereum? (laughs — author’s note).

I had ambivalent feelings at my funerals. On one side, it was real fun: Holy Christ! Bitcoin died! Not to mention those headlines: “…died suddenly yesterday”, or “After the lingering illness, doctors took decision to turn off Bitcoin’s life support machine…” cannot help laughing here (laughs — author’s note). On the other side, it’s very sad. Sad to see how dim-witted people can be.

- Explain then, why was everything happening like that? Why did so many well-known experts kick you into the long grass? What was the reason?

- Let’s get back to the history. How much did I cost at birth? Two cheap pizzas. Without meat… Now people are ready to give $7500 for one token. So why are we talking about death?

- Undoubtedly, you are an unbelievably valuable figure, but let’s recollect that in December one token, as you are calling it (smiles — author’s note), was worth $19,500 and then just in several months there was such a slump. What happened? How could you sink so low?

- Please, don’t rush me, I will continue what I started. Let’s get back to the history, as I’ve already said. From my record-high mark of $19,500 in December to my recent minimum of $6,200 my value reduced by just 68.2%. Of course, that’s a big amount, but I experienced even worse situations in my life, and successfully overcame them, as you already know.

Do you remember how I lost almost 95% of my value after the first cryptocurrency exchange MtGox was hacked in 2011? It was a real shock for me, but I pulled myself together and stood the test of time.

And the cold summer of 2013? Due to the trading halt, I grew 79% poorer, and in late autumn of that year, while I was still carrying the status of the leading cryptocurrency, I started to experience the longest unpleasant bear dominance in my life that lasted until January 2015.

Over that time, my value dropped by more than 86%, but I survived anyway. Right?

- Sure, you are very strong and sustainable, but all those past stresses and failures you faced, plus the pressure of young rivals… Could it be the beginning of the end for Bitcoin era?

- All of my hard times were followed by rapid surges up to 30–35%. Owing to such surges, new investors were coming to the market believing that I was duly apprised at last.

I have brought them more than 650% over the last 12 months! Not bad for a dead man, right?

Concerning the youth: “Any toy is O.K. that keeps the baby at play”.

Can you remember any other asset that has shown such an impressive profitability over a year? (laughs — author’s note).

Apparently, you cannot. Therefore, all those pessimistic analysts that have considered me dead for three-hundred-and-something times are creating additional hype around me without even knowing it.

Want to bet? I will have some rest (sea, sun, sand, you know), and then will renew the growth. Thousands, no, tens of millions of investors will rush to buy me. Then my yearly profitability will be 6500% rather than 650%!

The history shows that after every decline I reach new price peaks that exceed previous records by 3.5 times. Remember, my friends: I am immortal! The future belongs to me! Now I beg your pardon, it’s high time to take medicine, as bloody DDoS attacks are wearing me down (coughs and goes away — author’s note).
