*Awrite Boomdawg!*

I looked up. My [Bitcoin purchasing colleague](https://steemit.com/life/@meesterboom/the-dealer) landed in the chair in front of me as if falling from a great height. He looked awfully pleased with himself. 

I narrowed my eyes at him, there was something off. Had he been drinking perhaps? 

*How you doin?*

He sneered at me in a passive/aggressive love-hate-fighty way. 

It seemed as if he was desperate to share something. I hoped fervently that he hadn't been *goosing the bishop* in the toilets. I could do without hearing about that.

*So Boomdawg. Remember that Bitcoin you sold me?*

Oh lord, here we go.

*How could I forget.*

Bitcoin boy spun around slowly on the chair.

*Well, turns out I took it a wee bit further.*

His smugness was threatening to explode all over both of us like the ejaculate from a small dog.

*Oh really. And what have you __taken further?__*

He stopped the spinning of his chair and looked around conspiratorially. After he ascertained the coast as being clear he scooched forward. His eyes bulging like tennis balls in a sock. 

*I decided to... diversify my portfolio...*

He snapped back and gazed intently at me. As if expecting me to fall to my knees and sloppily felate him.

*Diversify your portfolio?* 

The urge to boast was making him tremble like a cat about to wipe its anal glands on something.

*I have become a trader in cryptos.*

Somewhere a mic dropped but there was no one to hear it so it might not have happened.

*A trader eh. Is it going well?*

He flicked out his phone and opened the Blockfolio app. He waved it at me like Mr Miyagi *waxing off.*

*You could say that Boomdawg. Made a few gains. Sitting quite pretty.*

I took his phone and looked. He leaned way back in his seat till it threatened to topple and tucked his hands firmly behind his head. 

*I guess you could say... that sometimes the student... becomes the Master, eh Booom __dawg?__*

He gave a tiny snort of derision like a woman would at his penis.

I passed him back his phone. Now it was my turn to cross my hands behind my head. 

*The things is matey chops. I sold you 0.014 BTC worth at the time, about 50 quid, yes?*

*Yup.*

Bitcoin boy shot an imaginary assassin descending from the roof with an imaginary pistol.

*Your Blockfolio app shows that your "portfolio" is worth 64 quid, yes?*

*Oh yes Boomdawgydawg. 14 buckeroos, straight profit. If I keep going at this rate I would more than __double__ my money in a year.*

He pulled at a train whistle only he could see and made a *whoot whoot* noise.

I pulled my own phone out now and googled BTC to GBP and tapped in 0.014. I showed him the screen.

*So if you had done diddly fucking squat and just sat on your Bitcoin like a __Master__... You would have made way more than double in three months...?*

He snarled like a wild dog would at a cucumber.

*What?! That's just shit. This fucking shit is rigged man. I fucking knew it, it's all a fucking scam.*

His face was as red as my lucky left testicle as he got up and stomped off muttering about scams and internets. 

I went back to counting down the days till Christmas with a big ole smile on my face.
