0 – Prologue, The World We Lived in
If you lose everything you have
What to do first.
It is good to lose money or land or material things,
You can assume that you have lost a family member or lover.
Perhaps I will be hurt beyond recovery.
I’ve never felt the sadness of losing what I’ve been collecting all at once.
Because I haven’t experienced it.
And I was 20 minutes ago
I accidentally lost everything.
I shouldn’t have done that
Too regretful, too long time has passed.
***
Not long ago, I met a close older brother who was a college senior.
Has it been 4 years?
Is this the first time you saw him after graduating?
Now it might be more accurate to say that he was a close older brother rather than a close older brother.
“Hey, haven’t you got a job yet?”
“Yes, so I guess your brother is still there too?”
“So, are you still making money with it?”
The way I made money was simple.
Things that sell game money or re-settlement.
That’s how it was to call it a job
It might be more accurate to call it a side job.
“Yes, well… I have no other ability to make money than this.”
“Damn it… When do you buy a house or buy a car after making money with it?”
“Then hyung? Isn’t hyung also unemployed?”
Hyung laughed
I took out my wallet and car keys from my pocket.
These days, car keys have something like a liquid crystal attached to them.
It was a culture shock for me, a 10,000-year-old man.
Then, he rolled up his sleeves and turned the watch towards me as if to show off.
“Do you see this?”
“…? Isn’t that Patek Philippe?”
“Still, you seem to have eyes to see”
“Isn’t that fake? Repleka?”
“Is it genuine? It costs 200 million.”
It was absurd.
After borrowing money from me and jumping around, suddenly showing off your car key and watch, do you really want to get hit with a knife?
And when I looked closely at the car keys, there was a horse drawn on them.
I mean hee hee hee and cry.
It was the Porsche logo.
“Hyung, did you win the lottery?”
“I can’t even see the lottery anymore. You know it’s a gold coin, right?”
Gold coin.
It appeared around 2008, and was born with a new concept of a fairly minor virtual currency, but it was a guy that only people who knew it for a long time did not see the light of day.
And then, at some point, there were places to use it one by one, and general consumers gradually came to know about it as they made a system that allows payment with gold coins to buy a car from a large foreign company.
For reference, it seems that it is about 60 million won per coin now,
Until 2011, it was worth barely buying a pizza with a few thousand coins…
Maybe he hit the ground and regretted it?
“Well, I don’t know much about it, but I’ve heard of it. It’s famous, right?”
“I made some investments in gold coins.”
“Aha, with money borrowed from me?”
“…I’m so sorry.”
This older brother went diving without paying back the money he borrowed from me.
In the meantime, the borrowed money will exceed 2,000
The first time my brother was diving, the sky turned yellow
I even passed out.
Because it was money like blood.
No, they draw blood and donate it.
It was more important than blood.
But as time passed, I started to become more and more numb.
When you lend money, it’s money you won’t get
Didn’t I ask you to lend it to me after recognizing it?
“Call your account”
“You want to pay?”
“Of course dude… Why did I call you?”
“So, XX Bank 158 5669…..”
A minute has passed.
The familiar ringtone notification window appeared on the mobile phone.
‘Shin Han-yeop deposited 50,000,000 won into his pocket money account’
Huh?
50 Million won?
“Huh? Hyung, didn’t you make a mistake?”
“No, bastard, I think it’s Leeza.”
“Hyung…”
Just looks like an angel.
Not seen.
After that, I started to study the gold coin I heard from my older brother.
I made money little by little while investing.
Sales of game money and re-world sales, which were the main income, were discontinued.
And then ‘that’ happened.
“Oh, I pressed the wrong button.”
I put one more zero digit at the end and put all my wealth around 300 million into gold coins.
How much is the commission?
I had no choice but to lose it, but I was worried about whether I should take it out again.
Because it’s kind of crazy to put all your money into it anyway.
But people around me stopped me.
If you subtract now, what is the fee?
I don’t know how much this is even if it goes up by 1%. Why are you subtracting that?
Is there anyone who doesn’t use the money copy bug? Lol, etc.
If you take it out now, it would be a loss for anyone to see
I also decided to leave it alone.
“Uh…?”
The next day, the coin cabinet was covered in blue as if it had found all blue.

It’s ant hair.
It’s just a reaction to gain momentum.
Etc. Many coin communities say that it is only a temporary symptom.
Everybody agreed that if you sell it now, it’s black beef itself.
“Yeah… That’s right… If you brush it off now, it’s black beef…”
I also believed that much.
If you sell now, you will only lose a few thousand units…
‘I had to sell it then.’
On the TV installed in the subway, there was only gold coin talk all day.
It was news that Gold Coin would be delisted from all exchanges.
In domestic and foreign news, they were busy digging out gold coins 24 hours a day.
The price of gold coins, which are practically trash
It has fallen to such an extent that it can no longer be called a ‘good’.
“Ha…hahahaha…”
I lost everything.
I was an orphan and had nothing, let’s try to reach the goal I had
As if you didn’t deserve it, the road was blocked.
“Now, the train bound for Yangsan is coming in.”
I’m standing in front of a broken screen door.
A screen door that opens and closes at will
The train hadn’t even arrived yet, but the doors opened and closed repeatedly.
“Kiyiyyy”
The iron sound of the train echoes
When you start seeing orange lights
I…
I jumped.
