Ah, Uncle Fago… for those who don’t know him yet, he’s the kind of person who is capable of coming up with completely crazy ideas to achieve his goals. And today, he’s obsessed with Bitcoin! For months, he’s been following the rise and fall of cryptocurrencies, going from euphoria to panic, then to excitement… In short, the total emotional rollercoaster. But one day, faced with the astronomical rise of Bitcoin,
He says to himself that he has to take action. And then, he comes up with a rather too brilliant idea: sell a kidney to buy Bitcoin!
Uncle Fago's flash of genius
One morning like any other, Uncle Fago is sitting in his kitchen, with his black coffee (and yes, no sugar, he always says that sugar is for the weak). He scrolls on his phone and comes across a graph that shows the surge in the price of Bitcoin. His eyes widen. His heart races.
"If only I had put a little more money into this!" he thought to himself as he saw the curve skyrocket. But then, Uncle Fago isn't really the kind of guy to have a mountain of cash under his mattress.
So he embarks on what he calls his "intense brainstorming session": an old notebook, a half-empty pen, and his imagination. He starts listing all his possible financing options: selling his bike, selling his golf game (even though he hasn't played in three years), even organizing a fundraiser among his friends and promising them a share of his future winnings. But none of these ideas seem spectacular enough. And then...
Mmmmmm! The idea of a genius (or a madman?) comes to his mind: "What if I sold a kidney?"
At this point, Uncle Fago starts laughing nervously, because, of course, he's joking... well, at first.
A dive into the dark internet
Of course, Tonton Fago is not the kind of person to stick with an idea without following through. Curious (and a little unconscious), he then starts searching the Internet for information on the "kidney market". He already imagines himself as a daring investor, ready to do anything to buy this coveted Bitcoin.
The first results of his search are… well, scary. He comes across dubious sites that promise painless transactions and “simple” surgeries (which, let’s be clear, is not reassuring). On one of the sites, he even finds a “kidney price” sheet next to a Bitcoin chart! The site offers him an “organ comparator” to evaluate his kidney against other options (you never know if he might want to sell a spleen as an extra).
But Uncle Fago, although aware of the danger, says to himself that it is a sign of destiny! After all, perhaps it is the moment to take action.
Contact a professional (aka Doctor Kidney)
Of course, a good investor knows that you should always consult an expert before getting involved in a serious business. So, Uncle Fago, with all the determination in the world, decides to meet a so-called "organ transaction specialist" found in a dark corner of the internet (spoiler: it's actually his friend Luc, whom he convinced to play the game in exchange for a pizza).
Luc introduces himself as "Doctor Rein", sporting a fake moustache, sunglasses and a white coat that, let's be honest, has nothing medical about it. He adopts a deep voice and launches into a pseudo-consultation, explaining to Fago the "minimal risks" of the operation.
"Don't worry, Uncle, one incision here, and presto! No one will see it. And if you keep your eyes closed, we'll even give you a small discount on the anesthesia!"
There, Uncle Fago is torn between laughter and anxiety, but he ends up agreeing to go through with it, while telling himself that "it's for the crypto" (and yes, for him, it's a real argument).
The day of the operation… or almost
D-Day arrives, and Tonton Fago decides to document "his adventure" on video. He films himself in his car, ready to leave for what he calls "the deal of the year". On the way, he tells his subscribers about his dreams of future wealth: with his future Bitcoin, he already imagines himself owning a villa, a yacht, or even a small castle with a garden to organize parties worthy of the name. He also says that he plans to open a "crypto investment school" to teach young people to "invest intelligently".
He finally arrives at the place of the operation (Luc's living room), where Doctor Rein is already set up, with an improvised "operating room" (a coffee table, a blanket as a sheet and a desk lamp). Uncle Fago is starting to get a little stressed, but he is determined. "You don't get anything for nothing," he murmurs to reassure himself.
Doctor Rein, aka Luc, then begins to prepare his "tools" (kitchen utensils he brought to make Fago laugh). But just before he begins, Fago has a flash of lucidity: "Wait a second... am I really doing this?!"
Conclusion
When Uncle Fago finally decides to keep his kidney
Then everything becomes clear to him. He films himself while taking a serious look:
Well, after much thought… I’ll keep my kidneys! After all, Bitcoin can wait, but my two kidneys are priceless!
And he turns to the camera to deliver his final piece of advice to his subscribers: So friends, lesson of the day: invest yes, but not at the cost of your organs! Because true wealth is staying healthy to see your gains grow. And if you enjoyed this little madness, subscribe, because I have plenty of other almost serious advice to share!"$BTC #MarketSentimentToday
