The One Coin to Rule Them All

So the online crypto narrative really has no end these days.

It has been said that the crypto market resembles that of the dot.com era. And it's not only the explosive market, but also entirely new visual, linguistic and financial discourses are being created. New memes and new cyber-slang. Back then it was LOL and BRB, now it is HODL and FUD. But more importantly, cryptos have opened the door for ordinary people to find their way to financial freedom, either by trading or investing, or through sites like Steemit.

So, while I find this whole phenomenon interesting to witness on a cultural level, I also chuckle myself ever so often. Just today, it was this piece of technical analysis that got me:

Dear Friends,

This is the tell of a hero, and the incredible journey he will follow to answer his true calling: Become the leader and savior of a kingdom once dominated by evil forces. But such great reward doesn't come that easily, and many challenges await on the road.

You will have guessed, this hero's name is Badger "Corn" Bitcoin. And like every good fantastic story, his ultimate goal is to kill the evil lord of this scorched land, the dragon of many faces, the one whose name raise fear in every heart... But I will tell you more about him another time. Badger has to reach Mount King, there are many ways to get to it. Let's take a closer look at the possible places Bitcoin might visit.

1. The Dark Forest ($8-11k)
   At the moment, our hero is lost in the dark forest. Indeed its not easy to find one's path in the deep woods of this malicious place. Every path looks the same. Let's hope he will find the exit that leads to the hoping hills

2. Hoping Hills ($12-15k)
   The exit to the hoping hills is in the northern part of the woods. Above 12k and Badger will have an easy stroll through this rather friendly countryside, populated by enthusiastic bulls. Another, more tortuous way leaves the the forest at around 8.5~9k and also leads to the hills.

3. The Swamps of Anger ($3-4k)
   Countless have lost their lives drowned in the swamps. Stay on the path and you might find the fork that leads to the low pass. Choose well though, a wrong turn and you'll end up in a place no one ever came back from

4. The Dungeon of Capitulation ($1-2k)
   Here is the most dangerous place on the map. I have yet to come across a soul to tell the story of what lies in the depths of the dungeon. If Bagder ever wanders in those parts, his will will be most likely tested like never before. He will have to gather all his strength and courage to not give in to the dark forces that haunt this place.

5. The Desert of Despair (---)
   Might our beloved hero loose all faith, he will probably miss the path that shoots off the dungeon and end up wandering in the endless desert of despair. Who knows when, where and if he will get out of this forsaken land.

6. The Low Pass
   This is one hell of a tricky road. Falling rocks, steep cliffs and venomous vipers are expected to be bothering our brave Corn -0.07% . But the road eventually leads to the summit.

7. The High Pass
   The easier road to Mount King. Follow the edge of the mountain to summit. Watch out for the crevasses

8. Mount King
   Here it is! The top of the mountain. Mount King is a key milestone and from there Badger will be able to see what lies beyond, and what lies beyond is another chapter of this fantastic journey.

That's it for today. A shout out to the author of the above tale, and to all of you Steemians. I really love this site.
