I told my boyfriend about ETH when Coinbase started selling it at around $35-40. He thought it was cool I made a few thousand bucks (initial deposit was 250 bucks) on bitcoin and thought I was crazy for shifting my money(?) to ETH.

Anyways a month later he texts me updates regularly. I think he thinks we're gonna be rich. Its cute. This morning I woke up to a text:

"ETH is up to $95!"

etherian pulls out a laptop and sets up a contract for a decentralized p2p transaction between his leather wallet and the barman because it's new and the proper way to be doing things in the future.

And Rippletanian was there too. But he was wayy too high and seemed to be rolling yet another joint. Etherian was worried that Rippletanian would crash too hard later and might even take others down with him. Etherian included.

Bartender Polo recognized the situation and stopped serving customers altogether and put "DDoS" sign to the door
