Scene: A Gym in the Early Morning



The gym smells of rubber mats and faintly of sweat, with upbeat music pumping in the background. Two gymbros, Mike and Tom, are midway through their workout. They're taking a break between sets of bench presses, wiping their brows and catching their breath.

Mike: (grinning) Bro, I’ve been meaning to ask. If you had, like, $10K right now, would you invest it in your dream business or just throw it into Bitcoin?

Tom: (chuckles, picking up his water bottle) Bitcoin. Easy choice, man.

Mike: (raising an eyebrow) Wait, really? What about starting your gym clothing line? Didn’t you say you had designs ready?

Tom: Yeah, yeah, but hear me out. Bitcoin is like... the ultimate cheat code for business. If I grow $10K into $100K in a bull run, I can start five businesses, not just one. And let’s be real, starting a business is risky. Most fail in the first few years. Bitcoin? Sure, it’s volatile, but the upside over time is insane.

Mike: (nodding slowly) Okay, but how do you know Bitcoin’s gonna keep growing? What if it tanks?

Tom: (leaning back on the bench) It’s not about if. It’s when. Bitcoin’s like the heavyweight champ of money. Limited supply, decentralized, no central authority messing with it. Compare that to fiat, which gets printed like confetti every time governments panic. Over time, Bitcoin’s been crushing every other asset. Even gold can’t keep up.

Mike: (grabbing a towel) I get that, but isn’t it just... digital numbers? You can’t lift it, you can’t wear it. At least with a business, you’re building something tangible, something people can use.

Tom: (laughing) Bro, you’re thinking short-term. A business can be great, but without capital, you’re always limited. Bitcoin is like building a foundation. Once it grows, you can fund any dream you want—start a gym, open a restaurant, launch a clothing line. Bitcoin’s like your protein shake; it fuels everything else.

Mike: (smirking) So you’re saying Bitcoin’s the bulk phase?

Tom: Exactly! Stack sats, bulk up your portfolio, and when the time’s right, cut by cashing out to fund your dreams. Plus, businesses have so many headaches—regulations, taxes, competition. With Bitcoin, you just need patience and conviction.

Mike: (laughing) Damn, you’re making me feel like I should sell my stocks and jump on the Bitcoin train.

Tom: (grinning) Dude, do your research, but think about it. Bitcoin’s been around for over a decade, and the demand keeps growing. Businesses come and go, but Bitcoin? That’s like the deadlift of investments. Always reliable for gains.

As they return to their sets, Mike looks more thoughtful. Between reps, he starts pulling out his phone, scrolling through Bitcoin price charts, while Tom smirks, knowing he might have planted the seed of another Bitcoiner in the gym.

The End.
