I think the internet is trying to tell me magic beans.🫘

Greetings, fellow creatures!
So, remember how I told you I found this strange glowing machine in a dumpster? Well, I’ve been spending quite a lot of time on it lately, and I have a confession to make.
I think I’ve accidentally entered a world where everyone speaks a different language.
Crypto. Blockchain. Bitcoin. Wallets. Mining.
Mining?!
As a raccoon, I was initially very excited about this one. I thought we were finally talking about actual digging. Maybe gold, maybe buried treasure, maybe a particularly interesting collection of shiny objects.
But apparently, no. Nobody is digging holes. They’re solving complicated computer puzzles and somehow making money out of it.
I have several questions.
First of all, why is everyone buying imaginary coins when there are perfectly good bottle caps lying around?
Second, who decided that a picture of a frog could be worth money?
And third, how does one acquire these mysterious internet coins without accidentally losing everything to a suspicious creature named something like CryptoKing420?
I won’t lie, I’m intrigued.
I may not understand a single thing yet, but I’ve learned that the internet is a very strange place, and apparently, there’s money involved.
So naturally, I intend to investigate.
If anyone knows how to explain cryptocurrency to a raccoon with approximately three brain cells and an unhealthy attachment to shiny objects, please leave a comment.
Until next time, stay curious and keep scavenging. 🦝
