Chapter 14
Ripple rises too fast
Even when Ripple reached the 800 won range, I thought it was the high point.
‘It went up too fast.’
People’s greed is strong, so I made a decision to wait and not sell.
It was decided to take the risk that the price would fall to some extent.
‘Even if it’s adjusted, not everything that went up won’t fall.’
While I was spending three days working hard to forget coins, an ophthalmology conference was held on the weekend.
“Director Myeong-won says he will be playing golf tomorrow morning with friends in Cheongna.”
“Then you should take it with you. Who wants to go?”
“I will go.”
“Is there a kalguksu restaurant in Yeongjongdo? Director Shim Ho-young said he wanted to eat it.”
“That seems to be a place I know. I’ll go deliver.”
from morning to 2:00 a.m.
As a sales clerk, he was not involved in what was going on within the conference, but he spent the weekend busy running errands.
In the course of three days, Ripple broke through 1,000 won.
It rose steadily even while other coins slowed down.
〈Virtual currency mania, Ripple soars 8,000% compared to the beginning of the year〉
〈Quantum 130% in One Day of Burning Virtual Currency〉
〈Government regulation is good, Ripple keeps going〉
〈Cryptocurrency decline, only Ripple endures〉
Because of Ripple, who always walks in place, ‘Litto Sok’. It was to the point that there was talk of being fooled by Ripple again.
‘Does this make sense?’
Even Bitcoin and Ethereum were slowing down, but Ripple was running frantically.
The graph is sloping upward, and the market capitalization catches up with other coins.
―Gazuaaa!
―Ripple Gajwa!
– He starts running. Ride Ripple now.
―Ripple ride is good~^^
―Ripple Knight is here.
―You can only see Ripple on the virtual currency bulletin board.
―Ripple revenue certification.
―vureung vureung vureung
On the virtual currency bulletin board, Ripple investors were excited.
‘Where is the end of this greed?’
Ripple 230 cents. I bought it for less than 300 won in Korean currency, so my investment of 50 million dollars tripled in one week.
‘You’re crazy. really… … .’
The term “money copying” did not come out of nowhere.
I’m watching, thinking that coin is the end king of capitalism’s greed.
〈The leader is Bitcoin, but the profit is overwhelmingly altcoin〉
〈Infinite Rush Ripple, Rising Despite Government Cryptocurrency Regulations〉
〈Ripple alone, new all-time high price〉
〈Coin Exchange “Investment is at your own risk.” Ripple rises 60%>
〈Ripple rises more than 50%, rising trend led by Korea〉
Articles related to Ripple are pouring in.
Ripple, which stayed in the 930 won range after falling slightly due to the government’s announcement of additional regulations, rose 60% or 555 won in one day.
60% per day.
There is a limit in the Korean stock market, but there is no such limit in virtual currency.
‘I hoped Ripple would rise, but… … .’
To be honest, I didn’t expect it to rise so fast and so incredibly.
―I couldn’t buy Ripple, but my stomach hurts.
―Ripple 1 Dollar Ripple 1 Dollar Ripple 1 Dollar
―When you buy Ripple for 590 won, why would anyone buy it?
―Ripple is awesome today haha
―Thank you Ripple.
A state in which fear is swallowed up by greed.
It reminded me of a quote my late father left at the Go-Stop seat.
“When you win, you don’t make money. You have to pick it up and get up to make money.”
Everyone is happy when they make money.
There is no such thrilling pleasure.
When you start to lose, after you lose your principal and lose a lot of the money you have.
From then on, the wailing began.

Among the company’s employees, it was Kim Sang-ki, Ahn, and two other employees who started the coin.
I listened to the news and the success stories of my co-workers, and I dipped my feet in one or two.
“I bought it by believing what Assistant Manager Kim said. The real Ripple is the best filial piety.”
“It’s really amazing to see ripple go up.”
“timing! And the tenacity to not sell just because it went up a bit. I ate four pears in one week.”
“I didn’t know that Assistant Manager Kim would be so good at coins.”
Now, it was hard to find an employee who did not use coins within the company.
It is said that the female employees also started.
They went up on the roof and drank coffee together.
“Manager Kim, can you recommend a coin?”
“I do not know. Coins are dangerous.”
“There were rumors that you were very good at it?”
“… … Ripple was fine not long ago, but now it has risen a lot, so I don’t know.”
I didn’t have to speak.
From coin-related overseas news to government regulations, etc.
Not only our company, but also the employees of other companies in the building are busy talking about coins.
The company rooftop has become a space for sharing information about coins.
‘There are more human indicators.’

Wed, Thu, Fri.
It was the end of the year, and after the ophthalmology conference held on the weekend, the company gave me a day off because my work decreased a lot.
A day off after a long time.
Look at the graph of Ripple on the coin trading site and look for information.
KakaoTalk!
I thought it was a group chat room of my co-workers and opened it.
-Han Chae-won: I have something to tell you.
It was a sudden call from my ex-wife.
―Han Chae-won: I know you must have had a hard time after we got divorced.
It wasn’t hard.
I was so happy compared to my married life.
When I lived with her, I was nervous about how to take every word she said.
She reacted unexpectedly to words spoken with good intentions and often lost her temper.
After the divorce, I slept close to a good night’s sleep every day.
Because I learned through my marriage that people die from stress.
In severe cases, otitis media, in which pus flowed out while sleeping, was completely healed.
These days, while doing CrossFit, my body was hard at first, but it was light as if I could fly.
-Han Chae-won: I’ve been thinking about it a lot.
―Han Chae-won: I think we made a lot of mistakes because we were the first to be married. You’ve been alone for a long time, and you didn’t have parents.
―Han Chae-won: I should have understood that, but I think I lacked understanding.
‘What the hell is he talking about?’
To be honest, I didn’t get angry when I saw the text message.
A little absurd, a state where emotions have cooled.
If you break up, you’re saying that you’re worse than others, and you’re talking about Han Chae-won.
-Han Chae-won: See you today. I have something important to tell you.
I didn’t think about the decision
‘Why am I meeting him?’
No matter what I hear, I think I will feel frustrated alone. It’s also time consuming.
KakaoTalk!
When I thought about blocking Han Chae-won, it turned out to be someone else.
―Joshua: Today is a holiday, what are you doing?
Sooah Jo.
Bright, kind, pretty, and popular.
As word spreads that I have a lot of money, the female employees treat me well, but the person who was kind to me when I was poor is a really good person.
I sent a reply
-Kim Shin: I’m at home.
―Joshua: Are you alone?
-Kim Shin: Yes.
―Joshua: Will you stay at home all the time?
―Kim Shin: I’m going to the department store in the afternoon. There are many things that are not at home.
I moved, but it was also a job to fill the house with necessary items.
―Joshua: Is that so? Who are you going to shop with?
―Kim Shin: I was just going to do it alone.
―Joshua: I have nothing to do either. Can I follow you to the department store?
I suddenly remembered what Han Chae-won had said.
That no woman living with me would be happy.
-Kim Shin: Yes. Wanna see you at 4pm?
―Joshua: Yes. I’ll prepare it right away.
-Kim Shin: I’ll see you at 4 o’clock.
―Joshua: Ah… … I’ll be there at 4 o’clock.
I put on my sweatpants and drove to the department store.
something I really wanted to do.
“You can come this way.”
The parking attendant directed us to a good spot.
I arrived 30 minutes early and waited in front of the lobby.
A lot of people passed by.
‘I’ll have to get used to the department store now.’
Even though he owns $300 million, the appraisal amount is rapidly increasing, sometimes petit bourgeois thoughts come out.
It’s only been one month that the money has increased.
The sale of bitcoin to cash out was even shorter than that.
The interior of a fancy department store, the prices of items sold.
I think a month is too short a time for a beggar’s mentality to change.
“brother.”
Thinking it was a familiar voice, I turned my head and saw Jo Soo-ah.
Her sky-blue hair hangs behind her shoulders, and she is wearing a white padding.
I’d say it’s a taste.
I preferred these comfortable outfits to sophisticated women’s clothing.
Maybe because of the clothes and light makeup, she looked pretty like a college student.
“hi. But he’s just an older brother… … .”
“It is outside the company. Can’t you just call me brother?”
Before he had a substitute, he called him senior, so the title issue didn’t really matter.
“Call me whatever you like. Then let’s go.”
“yes.”
I headed to the living hall of the department store with Jo Soo-ah, who looked happy for some reason.
‘I spent a lot of money on a car, but can I really spend it here? Aren’t you looking for the cheapest items on the Internet after looking around?’
Even if you have 300 million dollars, the value of 10,000 won is still 10,000 won.
I don’t want to spend just because I have a lot of money.
I walk around the living hall of a department store and touch the futon with my hand.
“Wow.”
“deputy… … Brother, why are you like that?”
“Sua, look at how soft the blanket is. Touch this!”
I liked the soft and light duvet.
When living in a semi-basement, it had to be heavy and thick to block the cold energy.
However, it is said that it is so light and soft, and it even contains high-tech materials that prevent mites in its antibacterial properties.
“Give me three blankets.”
I couldn’t be this proud of buying a quilt I liked.
‘It seems like a very good choice.’
The next stop was an electronics store.
“Wow.”
“brother?”
“vacuum cleaner. I really wanted to buy a cordless vacuum cleaner.”
After using only a broom, it was a new world when I operated a cordless vacuum cleaner at the store.
“This is what it feels like.”
I bought a television, refrigerator, dryer, washing machine, vacuum cleaner, cordless vacuum cleaner, and air purifier at an electronics store.
What I felt while spending money was that money was good.
‘Even if I spend it like this, the property will not decrease.’
Investment judgment is not important, daily consumption does not affect the property.
“Aren’t you bored just watching?”
“no. it’s fun.”
When I was married to Han Chae-won, I had to do everything according to her taste.
Jo Soo-ah takes an interest in items she doesn’t know about.
Even so, there was nothing to choose from in the bowl section of the department store.
Whether it’s made in England, or made in France or Germany. How does it affect the taste of food?
‘It was rare for Han Chae-won to cook for me.’
They say that when you spend millions of won on a pot or bowl, they will cook you delicious rice for the rest of your life.
Kimchi fried rice, soybean paste stew with clams, steamed tofu, soy sauce egg rice.
I think I gave her more of the self-made dishes I made.
“Wandering around makes me hungry. Do you want to have dinner? What kind of food do you like?”
“I like meat.”
A steak shop in a department store.
I ate delicious meat and took her home.
She lives in an officetel near her office, so we parked in the parking lot and drove her right to the front of her house.
“Come in.”
Jo Soo-ah hesitated about something before speaking.
“yes. It was fun today.”
