Rick Morrison - Rick Harrison (Pawn Stars) - OC Character
Reviews Q,R & A:
'matthorserider40'
R: With Paul knowing about Shego's past and how she really became bad I wonder if how long it will be for him to keep this as a secret between himself and Kim Possible later on? Plus how will Kim react when he tells her about Shego's and her brothers origin story.
When they meet again I wonder if Shego aka "Stephanie" will end up finding out that Paul knows about her tragic secret and how she will handle it? Plus I wonder he can convince Shego how she can change for herself to be better and leave her life as a villain?
He definitely will tell her that he's sorry for what she's been through and can't blame for being annoyed by her brothers as well as how she's been called a freak for a long while.
She'd be angry at first but I bet she'll later start letting all of her emotions out and once she realizes that he's now trying to help her she'll be really grateful that he's trying to help her turn her life around for the better.
A:( ͡ ͜ʖ ͡ ) I won't comment much about that. But it's a really great pick up! That will be a moment to think about throughout the story. There's endless possibilities. It was pretty difficult to get the ball rolling on that plotline. But it's in motion now. Hope you enjoy reading this story and thanks for the review!

BE SURE ALSO TO CHECK OUT MY POLL ON KIM POSSIBLE
Paul had been a very busy guy for the past week or so, with the Christmas break approaching pretty quickly, he decided to start putting money into the Crypto market.
For months now it had been a priority to start looking around for certain markets and coins to invest in.
Paul had taken advice from Eric and Kyle from a few months ago. Mostly Eric, as Kyle wasn't sure about investing into it this certain coin called... Shiba Coin.
It was a hard coin to buy that coin, but eventually did it in the end. $1,000 dollars. Eric told Paul that the coin was dubbed as the Dogecoin killer, which was another coin. He put in 5k on that because it was under a cent and if it exploded that would make heaps of money, ensuring it doesn't collapse.
Amongst others he's researched for the past few months, like the likes of Bit (Sneezes) Coin SV, BiTorrent, Cardano, Solana and Ethereum. He also had a few other small hitters as well, but those were irrelevant.
The original Bit (Sneezes) Coin was a consideration, but it's price was too damn high. SV was cheaper and rumoured have stated it could takeover the original Bit (Sneezes) Coin one day. He was advised and researched. He's going for broke on this one, keeping a percentage safe aside. I mean majority of it is government's money! Cheques he receives every week and living rent free for two years! Like all the Alan Harpers on the world.
Something that he and his father agreed upon before leaving Australia was investments. For the future.
The time has passed and Paul had decided, what to invest in after extensive research. Whatever money was left over he would keep aside and split again to buy presents for his close friends in America and Australia.
Paul was walking in the middle of town heading towards a certain shop. For a guy that spent more than $30K on Crypto stocks he seemed to be in a very good mood.
He thought he might have a chance to get his rock appraised and put in a nice small box to keep it safe.
There was not many places in town that could appraise this, he decided to go to the town's local pawn shop for some advice. If that fails, the mall has a jewellery store which can help him out.
He reaches towards the pawn shop and walks inside.
He admires all the unique antiques and items that are for sell. Guitars, swords, paintings and memorabilia of sports stars. He looks towards the counter and sees a bald man wearing a black T-shirt. He was inspecting a large samurai sword. It looked very rare.
He knew that this would be the right guy with all of these items looking very valuable. Then again, pawn shops can be very shifty at times. He walks up to the man, who sees him and puts the sword away.
"Hey, how are you?" The bald man says.
"Hi, I'm good thanks. My name's Paul." Paul introduces himself to the man. He had his hand out.
"I'm Rick." The man shakes Paul's hand. He paused for a second, "Morrison."
"Pleasure to meet you Rick." Paul says as he lets go of his hand and is about to present his rock.
"So what do you got?"
"Well, its a bit hard to apprise this but I got a rock that I want to appraise to see if it has any value and potentially purchase a small glass box to keep it safe."
"Nice." Rick looks at the rock.
He found it very interesting. It looked very weird for it to be a rock. "Wow! This looks rare. Where did you find this anyway?"
"In the Cambodian Jungle." Paul says.
Rick looks up at him puzzled, "The Cambodian Jungle?"
"Long story."
"Wow... Are you sure you didn't pick this up from your front yard? (Insert Smoker's Laugh)" Rick says laughing, making a joke.
"(Laughter) No no. I thought it looked rare because of it's unique material." Paul says.
"It really seems to stands out. What did you wanted to do with it? Sell it, pawn it?" Rick says pulling out a small loupe to inspect it further.
"Well I want to put it in a small glass box and put it in display, I just wanted to get this appraise and see what material it is. So if it's worth something... Sell it."
"Right." He says. Rick notices a small detail about this rock... But he's starting to think it's more than that. Maybe he was starting to think this could be a rare find. But wasn't so sure about it.
"Okay... Ummmm. I'm not too familiar with this sort of rock. I'm not a geologist. But I can tell this might be a rare mineral instead."
"Mineral?"
"Yeah, it's not a stone or rock. But I can have a ball park guess of what it could be worth- You know, I don't want to waste your time with guesses... Uhh tell you what. I've got a buddy of mine who is an expert in this type of stuff. He can come down here and check this out properly, but you might have to wait a few days on the appraisal if that's okay. He's out of town and should be back in a few days time."
"Yeah sure. Take all the time you need. Do you need the mineral or photos should be fine?"
"I actually need it here in the shop."
"I'll be at school half the time, that and amongst other things that could occur."
"That's okay. To ensure nothing happens, we can write up an agreement if something happens to it and I'm more than happy to pay for it or small fee if it gets damaged or goes missing. So it protects you and when he comes into the store, I'll call you to come down and tell you the good news. But I can assure you nothing will happen to it."
"Yeah sure, I'm down for that." Paul agrees with Rick.
"Alright. Let's get the paperwork started." Rick says.
Both exchanged phone numbers and Rick took mineral and placed it in a small pouch for safe keeping. They both completed some paperwork and Paul left the shop. He was extremely satisfied that if anything happens to the stone, Rick would pay him 500. But he really didn't want to get that stone lost or misplaced. He liked the way it looked. It looked like a very beautiful.. Now it's considered a mineral, so it looked like a very beautiful mineral.
He would soon get his answer in regards to his so called 'Mineral' in a couple of days time.
In the Bahamas
Drakken's Liar
Shego was inside the kitchen. She went towards the fridge to get milk for her coffee. She tries to pour milk inside her mug, but nothing comes out. She then notices the carton of milk being empty.
She growled angrily at the empty milk carton. She marches straight to Drakken's work area to give him a piece of her mind, in regards to the empty milk carton. Knowing the rule, if it's empty, throw it out and replace it. Drakken did none of that.
"Hey Drakken, why did you... put the-" Shego stops talking and notices a large amount of GPU Desktops all over the liar. There was hundreds of them. Shego was freaked out by this.
"What. The. Fu-"
"Shego!"
"Argh! Drakken! Don't scare me like that." Shego shrieks and tells him off for scaring her.
"Sorry Shego. I need you to do me a favour and change these hard drives in a few minutes time or this PC will fail and we'll lose a mining device." Drakken hands her two slot drives and directs which ones to replace with.
"Mining? Uh Doc. I think the computers have melted your brain, mining is usually done outside. You know? Heavy excavation, large drills? What are you mining in here besides your nose?"
"Well Shego, if you must know. I've decided to create my own coin. Drakoin."
"Creating your... Doc. Forgive me for this, but why are you making your own coin!" Shego says trying to keep her cool, while aggressively putting in the new hard drives into the PCs.
"Well Shego, I'm glad you asked. Have you heard of Crypto?"
"Cryptocurrency? Yes I have. It's just a scam. Like money laundering and Ponzi schemes as everyone says. Why?"
"Well I'm glad you asked Shego."
"You just said that twice." Shego says.
"You see when I create my own coin, it's out there for the world to buy. Once I start hyping this coin as the kids say these days, people will start to take notice. Then once they see the price so cheap, they'll buy it and then once I get a bunch of investors to buy it. Then I sell it! And they get nothing."
"Then don't do the investors make money too?"
"It's called collateral Shego. They are the downfall, while we make the mullah... Is that how they pronounce it?"
"Are you sure that's how it works?" Shego asks thinking it was too good to be true.
"99.3% Shego." Drakken says with confidence.
"Where did you even had the time to learn and research about Cryptocurrency?"
"Cryptocurrency all-in-one for Dummies." Drakken said.
"You mean those dummy books people buy?"
"Well that guy that publishes them makes a killing with them." Drakken says.
"And are you certain this will work?"
"99.7% Shego."
"Okay, that seems fair and all. Just one off topic thing though."
"What's that?"
Shego slams the milk carton at Drakken's chest. Grunting in pain at how hard she did it.
"Were out of milk." Shego says sternly.
"Right. Why don't you get us some then Shego? Be useful for a change."
Shego throw a plasma blast at him and he ducka.
"O-on second thought, I'll just order it and get it delivered... Then again you need minimum $30 for orders." Drakken says frightened at Shego's temper.
Back in Middleton, Kim was at home watching TV with her mum. They were watching a show called Agony County.
Christmas time was approaching for her and this would be her first one without Ron. It's been some weird times for her. New friends, new partner, new mission environments, new enemies. But it isn't bothering her. Although she did wish Ron was back at home.
'DING DONG'
Kim pauses the show. God bless streaming services. The make life much easier to watch shows and films.
"I'll get it mum." Kim says as she gets up from the couch and walks towards the door.
Kim opens the door to reveal Paul.
"Hey Kim." Paul greets his friend.
"Hey Paul, what have you been doing today?"
"Oh running some errands for the day. Is it alright if I can come in?"
"In this household, you're always welcomed." Kim says making a path from him to enter inside.
"Thanks." Paul enters the house. He noticed it was quite quiet. Other times he would hear Jim and Tim playing around.
"Where the boys?"
"Outside playing soccer. They don't usually play this much sport. It's probably a phase. They'll be over it in a few weeks."
Paul was impressed with them continuing to play soccer. He knew Kim was wrong about that. He knew that they wouldn't be giving up any time soon. For a couple of kids that said they didn't want to play soccer and thought it was boring, have actually taken a strong interest in it.
He enters the living room to see Ann watching sitting on the couch. It appeared that Kim and her mum were watching something, hence the paused screen on the TV.
"Hi Ann." Paul says with a wave.
"Hey Paul." Ann says with a grin on her face.
"What are you watching?" Paul takes a seat on the couch.
"Agony County."
"Drama based show?"
"Yep. I used to watch some of this with Ron. We only did it to... stay up to date."
"On Netflix?"
"No HBO Max." Kim says.
"To think, 15 years ago you had to watch this on normal free cable tv."
"Yeah totally. Now its a small fee a month and you have access to a number of rotating films and shows."
"Danny! I got some tickets to see that new romance comedy film, wanna come with?" The girl holds up two sets of tickets.
"Sure Charity I would love too... Afterwards I got another date in the same movie theatre. Two films in one night for the price of none."
Charity just sighed. Danny didn't notice her sigh.
"Later babes."
"I just want to be more than friends." She whispers to herself.
Paul watched this with a ping of anger inside of him. He knew it was a show and all, it wasn't real. But that guy was being a dick to that girl, who seemed to really like him. And he just blew her off like she was nothing and he had the audacity to say he was going on another date afterwards. Well what if that girl wanted to go get food or ice cream!
'Guys like that are real dicks.' Paul says in his mind, he was trying to to enjoy the show.
They continued to watch the show for a bit. It shortly ended afterwards.
Ann decided to have a quick peak at today's news before watching another episode on HBO Max.
While they were waiting for the ad break to end, Kim turns towards Paul.
"So what do you think? Good show huh?"
"That Danny guy sounds like a real prick. He should stop playing with that girl's feelings. Bold and the Beautiful or that other show I've heard of... General Hospital are much better than this."
"But those are soap operas! They have been running since the 70s. And General Hospital?"
"Well it's like that in Australia. Home & Away, Neighbours... It's on prime time at 5 or 6pm."
"Yeah well General Hospital is... Okay. I mean that Kristen Storms actress is really good. She honestly deserves a Emmy for her performances."
"Don't know who that is, but if you say so. But the point I'm getting towards is that, this show makes guys look bad. Not every guy is like that, he blew off that girl like she was nothing. She really liked him and he was straight up being a di-... really ass to her."
Kim didn't know Paul was this emotional about a make believe show. He did have a point though. But he hasn't watched the beginning on the series to understand Danny and Charity.
"Well she acts like a totally B at times too. But Danny is a misunderstood guy, plus he's a hottie." Kim says.
"So you you're telling me you like guys like that?" Paul asks with a sly face. He was only teasing.
"No not at all. But other girls like that." Kim says getting nervous. To be fair, she thought about that bad boy type of vibe before entering High School when it came to guys, but now she only wants one guy. A good type of person and a gentleman. We all know who that is...
She hoped she didn't blow her chances with him thinking she likes bad boys.
"Well they shouldn't personally, I feel like they can be loved and respect with other guys. But hey, it's my opinion, others would think differently about that." Paul says.
"This is Channel 5 news with Tricia Lipowski at 4PM."
"And a good afternoon to you all Middleton, Tricia Lipowski coming live from Middleton News HQ. With Christmas approaching the US malls are preparing for a busy holiday period with gifts and travelling around to see loved ones. Some news from China now, as they broke a record for construction. Building a hospital within less than 2 weeks! The country of China have been developing for the past 3 decades now, becoming one of the biggest countries in manufacturing goods and most skyscrapers with their cities. The hospital took only 10 days to turnover from footings to finish. The 1000 bed hospital has been confirmed by Guinness Book of Records as being the fastest man-made structure being over 50,000 square metres or 550,000 feet."
"10 days for a hospital! That's quite incredible." Ann says.
"I don't think it's meant to be built for quality, but still a great feat nonetheless." Paul says.
"Think about all the workers that were needed for that job. Lots of sleepless nights." James says as he approaches the living room with a cup of coffee.
"In stock market news, the new sensation Drakcoin has risen by 10000% overnight!"
"Paul! Check it out!" Kim says pointing. Paul was already staring at the tv surprised. He was intrigued by the news already. Watching it from the start of the program.
"Hundreds and thousands of people have already invested in the new crypto coin, many are saying it could reach 1 dollar by the end 2022. Experts say don't count on it."
"Drakcoin? Since when did Drakken have time to create his own coin?" Paul says.
"Probably needed some cash to fund his evil plans. He's willing to go extreme lengths for funding." Kim says.
"Well some Crypto coins are a scam. And Drakken isn't exactly a saint." Paul says.
"Crypto? I've heard about that. Those are risky business investments. All the fellow neurologists think it's a great idea though." Ann says.
"It's not so bad if you know what you're doing. Crypto is the way of the future and could be used for all future transactions by the next decade." Paul says.
"Everyone at the Space Centre talks about Safe Moon. Nothing special if you ask me. And you know what. That guy on the coin looks familiar. Where have I seen him before." James says looking at the Drakcoin token logo. He scratches his chin to figure out who this familiar figure was. It will eventually come to him.
'Beep-Beep, De-Deep'
Kim excused herself from her parents and grabs Paul along to hear the Wade they reached a private area Kim answers the call.
"Go Wade."
"Kim we have a major problem with Dr Drakken, he manged to create his own coin-"
"Drakcoin." Both teens say.
"We know Wade." Kim says
"Wow, you guys are getting good."
"No. We just watched the news. We aren't psychic... yet." Paul says.
"Oh... right."
"Alright Wade. Should we go to his liar and destroy all of his equipment? Go rip his lab apart until he refunds everyone that invested in his coin." Kim says.
Oh Kim wished it was that easy. But...
"Well it isn't that easy Kim. You see, we can destroy all of his equipment."
"I'm guessing there's a but." Kim says.
"But..."
"There it is." Paul says.
"He still would have access to his coin via the cloud slash internet. Cryptocurrency is all online."
"And Crypto in Greek means hidden." Paul adds.
"Spot on."
"Okay, so if we can't go to his liar and destroy the coin. Or take it down from the web, how do we stop him?"
"Well Kim, this is a really pickle. And not the regular kind. Pickle egged type kind. Sure... We can stop him mining his coin, which will affect the price. But he would take people's money that have already invested into his coin at a lower price. This is up to the people who have invested in this coin. They can either sell now and avoid losing their money or Drakken can pull the pin now and thousands will lose out, making him rich."
"So if those people who have invested don't back out now and Drakcoin collapses. They'll lose everything they put into? And we can't do nothing about it!"
"It's out of our hands Kim."
"It's up to the investors Kim. It's like getting advice whether to pump or take out. Most don't listen to it. They want to HODL." Paul says
"HODL?"
"Hold For Dear Life."
"Okay Wall Street guys. What if we drop the price of Drakcoin?"
"If we do that, investors will lose some money, but if we can keep it high enough, people won't lose anything."
"If it reaches zero?" Kim says.
"Everyone loses everything." Paul says
"Exactly"
"Well I'm no expert on Crypto. But I would be mad if I lose everything I put into it."
"I'm actually starting to invest in it. Might make a few thousand dollars if everything falls into place. But that's the game Kim, people lose out on thousands or even their life savings! Some know what they are doing, and others are lucky to invest in a coin that's worth less than 1 dollar. Did you know that If you placed 100 dollars in 2010 for Bit (Sneezes) Bless me. Coin, it would've worth 8 Billion dollars today."
"8-8-8. Billion Dollars!"
"Yep. They were practically giving them away. Complete a captcha a you get 10 Bit (Sneezes) Coins. Even 1 measly coin is worth 60K today Kim."
"Wow. And it's all legal. Right?" Kim asks.
"That's if the courts finds cryptocurrency illegal. It's safe at the moment, but cash out when you have the chance to. Either wise 3 Trillion dollars is considered to be useless."
Kim was amazed at how they make money so easily. But it was hard, requires patience and of course, you need the money.
"The risk being the coin could increase price, or collapse. Bit (Sneezes) coin has been known to stay steady."
"Why do you guys keep on sneezing every time you say Bit (Sneezes) Bit (Sneezes) Arghh! How come you two know so much about Crypto?" Kim says.
"For the future."
"Finance myself and family." Paul says.
"Aw that's nice of you." Kim thought it was a really touching gesture.
"Sure is. Okay, let's get back to Drakken. He creates a new coin, but we know he'll just stop the blockchain once he makes millions."
Kim snaps back to reality. She was getting so into the chat, she forget about Drakken for a second. "Right! Wade?"
"Hmm well I think the best thing is to keep the price up. I can help you guys increase the price, but we need to warn these people about this coin."
"Wade I found that to be impossible. These guys won't listen to us. Some will, others will keep on holding. It's a hard thing to do. Their will be heaps of whales buying billions of coins worth of Drakcoin." Paul says, Kim keeps on getting confused with the Crypto terminology.
"You're right... There's nothing you guys can do to stop him. This will be all internal."
"So we can't go out and stop Drakken?"
"Afraid not Kim."
"I'm suppose to be stopping Drakken from stealing people's money and you're telling me it's out of our hands?" Kim says to her computer friend.
"May steal Kim. May steal Kim. He could be making hundreds and thousands of peoples money. If he pulls the pin or the price drops, everyone loses out and Drakken gets millions of dollars." Paul says.
"Right now, there's more than... 50,000 holders."
"50,000 already! There all at risk." Paul says.
Both Paul and Wade knew that nothing could be down to stop him.
"So we have to wait it out?" Kim says.
Wade just nods, Kim just sighs in disappointment. She was really desperate to help out those people.
At school Kim was still eager to stop Drakken, but had to step back and wait for a slip up.
Meanwhile Paul was avoiding Bonnie at all costs. In the last few weeks she had been dressing a bit more differently to get Paul's attention. He was starting to get annoyed by her antics. So far she hasn't dressed in anything too explicit. But she has been wearing more skirts recently!
"Hey Kim, any word from Wade yet?" Paul asks.
"Yeah, but he's texting me these confusing crypto slang. I asked Monique but it was OHL."
"Out... Out of her league?" Paul guesses. He was correct.
"God, we've been spending too much time with her." Kim says with a smile on her face, "I'll forward the message to you... Here."
"Thanks." Paul says as he reads through Wade's message. "Oh yeah, I get what he's saying."
"Of course you do. I think we should get together and get a track on the price for the next few days. See where it stands."
"That's easy to do with stocks, but people are going to get rekt any day now, we need to keep the price up."
"Rekt?"
"Wrecked. When you lose a lot of money."
"Then we need to alert them to pull out now!"
"They won't Kim. Not all of them will do that. Some will pull out and other wouldn't care a will HODL the coin for years." Paul says, he stares in the distance and see Bonnie dressed in a white tube top and short jeans. She just winks at him and Paul shakes his head.
"I'm going to kill that girl one day." Paul says.
"Refresh."

"Refresh."

"Refresh."

"0.0060"
"(Gasps) Refresh!" Kim says loudly and quickly. As she panics at the rapid decrease of the price.
'CLICK'
"0.0080"
Kim sighs and pouts. Both teens were currently outside in Kim's backyard. Paul had his laptop on his lap. He was on the CoinMarketCap website looking for the current prices on Drakcoin. It was a struggle, but they couldn't do anything about this.
"What's wrong Kim? All Cryptos bounce up and down like that in price."
"It's just that these people are going to lose their money from Drakken and I can't do squat about it! I mean, he's physically there, but he's harming them from inside their pockets!"
"Look Kim, I can understand you want to help out these people out. But that's the way the system works. There are heaps of crypto scams out there. We can't stop them all, but we know that Drakken has plans to take over the world. With millions in his pockets, we don't know what he's capable of doing."
Kim stop pouting and stared at Paul.
"Do scams happen often?"
"Everyday Kim, you can prevent it, but they will do what they think, that's best for them when they invest. It's like telling people to stop smoking, but that's an addiction. This is all a risk game. You can't beat yourself up about people spending money when they invest in crypto. Don't be hard on yourself Kim." Paul says.
Kim starts to grow a small grin on her face. He really does know how to make her calm and happy. He steadies the ship at times.
"You know, sometimes I imagine if you, Ron and I did this together, I feel like we would be an unstoppable team." Kim says in all honesty.
"You think so?" Paul says
"Well Ron can do the distractions and we can take down the henchman."
"I could teach Ron how to fight and defend himself properly, we can learn off you as well. You know heaps of marital art skills."
"That would be soo awesome or badical as he would say." Kim says.
It would have been great to have all three teens as a whole team. But you can only hope and dream.
"You can only dream Kim. You can only dream by your wildest imaginations. We are already a strong duo as it is." Paul says.
Kim smiles at this, she goes next to him and they both stare back at the laptop.
"Refresh again please, it's been a few minutes since we last checked." Kim says, as Paul left clicks the mouse button on his laptop to refresh the web page.

Meanwhile at Drakcoin HQ aka, Drakken's liar in the Bahamas.
Drakken was sketching up some drawings at his desk. Beside him he had a few hundred crumpled pieces of paper in the bin.
Shego manages to find him again
"Doc, why are you drawing?"
"Oh Shego, you didn't read the cryptocurrency book I gave you, didn't you?"
"I did. The first four pages and into the bin it went." Shego says as the book have been shoved into the bin.
"So you don't know what NFTs are." Drakken asks.
"What the hell are NFTs now?"
"Non-fungible tokens. It's basically a unique digital asset that belong to you and you only. It can be artwork, logos, music. I decided to create my very own line of Drakcoin NFTs! Have a look Shego." Drakken displays a weird looking photo of himself, that looked like a monkey wearing 3-D Glasses.
"That's actually impressive Doc."
"Thank you. I spent time sketching and drawing in college... before the incident."
"And who exactly is going to pay for these?"
"Heaps of people will. With Drakcoin increasing in price, more people will invest and once it reaches that sweet oh might dollar, I'll pull the plug and make millions!"
"Okay. How does this not tie into, money laundering or Ponzi schemes?" Shego asks.
"It's legal Shego."
"So in short English. Get rich quick scheme."
"Precisely." Drakken says.
Shego was hesitant, but it was his plan and he was the boss and she didn't have a say in it.
"(Sighs) Alright let's do this NFTs malarkey. But If we get arrested, I'll kick your ass in jail until we manage to escape. Also, low fat milk Doc? Really?" Shego holds out a milk carton.
"Milk is milk Shego! It comes out the same hole anyway." Drakken says as he continues to draw more NFTs.
For the past few days, Drakcoin managed to reach 1 cent. It's price at the moment was at 0.07 cents and looked to pace 1 dollar in a few weeks time or even sooner.
Currently being the weekend, Kim told Wade to keep on monitoring Drakcoin for any updates.
'Beep-Beep, De-Deep'
Kim answers the call. "Go Wade."
"Uhh guys we have another major problem."
"What is it?" Kim says.
"It's best if I show Paul first. You wouldn't understand Kim. Sorry."
Paul and Kim had been hanging out over the weekend. They were having lunch when Wade interrupted them.
"(Scoffs) Fine." Kim hands her device to Paul. He gladly accepts.
"Talk to me Wade."
"It's best if I show you first."
Wade shows Paul something. Which widens his eyes within a matter of seconds.
"Oh for fuck sake. He's selling NFTs now!" Paul says.
"NFTs?" Kim asks curiously.
"Non-fungible token Kim. It's where people sell photos or music and once bought the individual can own that unique digital asset."
"So people can buy photos and official own them!?"
"Yep."
"Then why not just screenshot them?" Kim asks.
...
Both boys laugh heartily at that. Kim was getting confused why they were laughing so hard.
"Wh-... What's so funny." Kim says a bit crossed.
"Oh Kim, you're so funny." Paul says wiping a tear from his face.
Kim earns herself a blush.
"People can screenshot them, but they are worthless."
"I don't understand this Crypto bullshit anymore." Kim says getting frustrated.
"You don't have to. Just pick a bunch of coins and HODL until you're 25." Paul says.
"So 10 years they'll be worth something."
"Eh. Maybe, maybe not. It's a risky game."
"Safer than gambling though."
"Right. So... options?"
Paul and Wade think what they should do. NFTs were a new ball game. Once he sells these, he gets the money. They would need to act fast to stop Drakken."
"It's pretty hard to stop that Kim. I mean, we can just tell the investors to pull out. The coin is mooning."
"English please." Kim says
"Crypto prices are going in a upward momentum."
"But these guys won't listen. They are oblivious to whaling and will just keeping on HODLing." Paul says.
"Okay these key terms you're using. I'm soo over it."
"Oh don't be sooo the drama Kim. If not, we'll just bash Drakken's skull with a bat and force him to give people's money back." Paul playfully says before being giving a serious tone.
"Paul!"
"Oh come on Kim, you have to joke once in a while...Unless?" Paul says.
"No. No. We're not going to resort to that."
"The only positive we can take out of this is that the NFTs won't be unlocked until the coin reaches 0.50. Which could hit in a few days time. This would make the price increase more."
"So we still have a timeline." Paul says.
"I have no clue when Drakken will stop this coin, but greed is a factor here. If he's too greedy. He'll let the coin run, ensuring enough people can pull out in time and ensure thousands don't lose out, if he plays it smart. He'll get millions of dollars and heaps of people will lose money. It really depends on him."
"So Drakken holds the investors money in his hands. Knowing him, he'll be greedy and go all out." Kim says.
"That means we have to wait even more time." Paul says.
Drakken has the future of Drakcoin in his hands. The fate of the investors rested in one blue man in the Bahamas. Oh boy!
Author Notes:
Hey, if you'd think I wouldn't do an episode/chapter about Crypto! You're crazy! This is the way of the future baby!
- Okay. I go to admit. I do get angry and emotional at times in shows or films. Most recently being Manifest. I know it's a show and all, most of them, like around 95% end with a happy ending. 70% of the time I enjoy the ending and how things play out and the other 30% is like, I want a redo of the series /ending. It's a thing I get passionate about! I'm sure others have this too!
- General Hospital is an American daytime television soap opera. It is listed in Guinness World Records as the longest-running American soap opera in production, and the second in American history after Guiding Light. If you watch it, you'd realise that Kristen Storms plays on that show. The voice of Bonnie Rockwaller. She plays as Maxie Jones. 2005-11, 2012- Present. And if you're wondering. I've seen a few clips of the show, but I have never watched a full episode. I'm not a big fan on soap operas. A few years back I was interested in Neighbours which is a soap opera show in Australia. But it never ends man. Episode after episode. Geez! How do they even keep the show so fresh! My grandparents always used to watch Bold and the Beautiful at around 4PM.
- Okay, so apparently you can't use Bit (Sneezes) Coin in this format as well. Come on man! Opportunity for a running gag here haha!
