[Amid the growing anxiety of investors every day due to the collapse of virtual currency, controversy is arising because WHTS Company, a cryptocurrency developer, bought a super-expensive building. The building is located on Teheran-ro near Gangnam Station and has a value of about 200 billion… … .]
Beep.
I turn off the noisy TV and look outside.
Outside the window, cars lined up in a row are running around like miniatures. Elsewhere, there was nothing to see except buildings, people, and cars.
“I don’t know what makes a place like this so expensive.”
The 200 billion building on Teheran-ro that was just mentioned in the news is this building.
Originally, I was planning to put the office building in a quiet place on the outskirts of Incheon or Gyeonggi-do, but I bought a building in the middle of Gangnam because of its symbolism.
smart.
A voice comes from beyond the door with a knock.
“CEO, it’s time to move.”
The newly relocated representative office is so spacious that it feels like the secretary’s voice is audible. Or is it because the door is thick?
I packed only a thin jacket and went down to the parking lot.
A luxurious large sedan was waiting in the parking lot, showing off its luster.
Rolls Royce Phantom.
This, too, was chosen from the symbolism of being an expensive car.
It is a pass in that even I, who is no stranger to cars, can know that it is an expensive car.
thud.
I feel the weight when I open and close the car door. Overall, it feels like riding an aircraft running on the road, not a car.
“Still, this is worth the money.”
Purchasing ultra-expensive buildings in Korea’s leading yolk land, and purchasing super-expensive cars that are known just by hearing the name.
The reason why they spend so much money was that they were conscious of the gaze of the outside world.
I wonder if there is a reason to do this, but looking at the way the virtual currency board is running now, I have no choice but to do something like this.
Ethereum -86%, Bitcoin -71%.
Other than that, the basic value of Jobcoins went down to -90%, and there were a lot of things that were delisted from exchanges.
The reason for the money rush in the first place was not because of the technology or vision of virtual currency, but because of speculative assets gathered after hearing rumors such as ‘Who made how much money’, so it was only natural that money would drain out when the price plummeted.
If all the money is withdrawn from the cryptocurrency market, a dark period will inevitably come for the next three to four years.
I am delivering a message to reassure investors with overspending to prevent such a phenomenon.
Well, look. Even if the company spends money like this, the market price of Acorn Coin does not budge! So, invest in Acorn Coin with confidence!
It’s called ‘Operation f*cking Money’.
The effect was amazing. While investment money was flowing out of other virtual currencies, only Acorn Coin was the only investment money flowing in.
If the atmosphere continues as it is, it may be unreasonable to surpass Bitcoin, which is the number one market cap, but it is certain that it surpasses Ethereum, which is the second place.
‘When the value of Ethereum was high, the market capitalization was around $400 billion… … Will Acorn Coin grow to that extent?’
The future is unknown. Because the virtual currency market was already at a stage beyond the information and predictions I had.
So I just do the best I can.

A man and a woman holding a large camera and a microphone are standing with their mouths wide open in front of a luxury passenger ship, also known as a cruise ship, docked at Incheon Port.
“Senior, the event venue written in the invitation… … Could it be that you are here?”
“I think so.”
“Wow, the scale of the WHTS Company is no joke to rent a cruise ship this big and hold a party. It’s really great.”
The two people who couldn’t help but be surprised were reporters from the Naeil Economy Newspaper.
The cruise party held here was originally a private event inviting only WHTS Company executives and 30 Acorn Coin owners.
Having been invited to such an event, the reporters boarded the cruise without being able to take their excitement off their faces.
cheek! Bam Bam Bam! cheek! Bam Bam Bam! cheek!
Exciting club music greets them as they board the ship.
The moment they stepped onto the deck of the cruise, they had no choice but to open their mouths at the same time.
“and! what is this… … ?”
The ship was exactly divided in half, with a large performance hall on one side and a super-large lazy river and water play facilities seen only in water parks on the other side.
The stage side was already full of people shaking their bodies intoxicated with the music, so the reporters took their seats at the table with the liquor table and snack bar.
“Sir, it seems like a completely different world here.”
“after… … I know. It’s to the point where I want to hang out there as well, if it’s not for coverage.”
While you sit at the table and take a break, a staff comes and serves you a simple dessert and champagne.
The reporter took a close look at the champagne label the employee poured out. Usually, there were many cases where cheap alcohol was served at parties like this, but the champagne I just poured was an expensive branded champagne.
“I just pour champagne for 3 million won per bottle.”
“Is this drink worth 3 million won?”
“Even if it’s 3 million won at a department store and you can’t go to a club or bar, you’ll get 5 million won per bottle, right?”
“under… … Guys, is this okay? Right now, other cryptocurrencies are making a fuss while talking about crashing.”
The senior reporter said after sipping champagne and munching on the truffles served as dessert.
“It’s a crisis, so I’m just spending money like this. That way, investors will flock to it with fantasies.”
“Is it an illusion?”
“The illusion that I too can be rich and party. Even ants with broken heads will invest again if there is such a thing.”
“ah… … It’s kind of marketing.”
From noble mtl dot com
“That’s right, if you were talking about cost reduction like other cryptocurrency companies, the price of Acorn would have gone down by now.”
The music cuts off when the glass is half empty.
The DJ who was playing club music on stage went down, and the surrounding lights turned off for a moment.
“I thought you were going to do something?”
The background music that heightens anticipation plays for a while, and then the lights illuminate the entrance of the stage again.
One In-young slowly climbs onto the stage.
It was a world-class pop star lady muse who captivated the stage with splendor.
“Lady Muse? I never thought I’d see her here. Such luck!”
“Muse! I am a fan!”
“Waaa!”
Since she even won the Grammy Awards this year, the reaction was explosive.
Everyone ran to the front of the stage and screamed and shook their bodies, and the muse created a song to match.
The intense beat heated up the whole party atmosphere, but the reporters couldn’t adapt to this atmosphere at all.
“Senior, is that person on stage really a lady muse? really?”
“Then who do you see in your eyes?”
“No, I can’t invite Lady Muse to a party on board like this… … I feel like my common sense is being denied.”
But the real shocking news came after the stage of Lady Muse was over.
Muse took the microphone herself and said:
-The reason I accepted this invitation is because I am one of the investors in Acorn Coin. I will continue to invest in Acorn Coin, and I have no doubt that Acorn Coin will become the currency of the future.
Acorn Coin investment declaration by a world-famous pop star.
As if the people at the party couldn’t believe it, there was a silence of bewilderment for a while, followed by applause and cheers.
“Did it really hit the jackpot? Pop star lady muse’s investment! In the future, Acorn Coin will become really big.”
“Don’t make a fuss about giving me lip service.”
“Is this lip service?”
“Think about it. Why does an investor go up on stage and sing?”
The junior reporter belatedly realizes something strange and hits my forehead.
“Then, this stage itself is being recruited by WHTS Company?”
“of course. Could Lady Muse fly to the other side of the world if it weren’t for public relations?”
“Hearing that, I lose steam.”
“Even a public relations is not an ordinary thing. Because the recruitment fee for a lady muse level starts at 10 million dollars. And since Korea is far away, you should give it a double.”
“For $20 million… … Hee! You gave me 25 billion won in Hanwha?”
Spending tens of billions of dollars just to invite a singer to a party is crazy.
However, the representative of WHTS Company did such a crazy thing without any notice.
‘If I spend a lot of money on a celebrity and the market reaction is not good, what am I going to do?’
However, this thought was only the whim of the reporter alone.
Investors at the party were already turning on their phones and diligently placing orders to buy Acorn Coins.
Even the junior reporter sitting next to him is busy accessing the coin exchange.
“hey? What’re you doing?”
“I need to buy acorns. If this news comes out, it’s 100% rice cake. Seniors, buy it quickly too.”

The shipboard party attended by the owner of Acorn Coin drew a lot of attention before even getting on the news.
The large-scale cruise party was also a surprise, but since the invited singer was a lady muse, related news was already being plastered on social media.
-Is the person in the video the real Lady Muse? I can’t believe it.
– I’m so envious. I would also invest in acorns.
– It must be worth the money spent by the attendees over there.
Acorn Coin owners had no choice but to like this party, and investors of other coins were also in a welcoming mood, saying that money was coming into the stagnant cryptocurrency market.
However, when Taylor from the Ethereum development team heard the news of the Acorn Party, he was shocked.
“Are you jealous of me? Aren’t you all crazy? Don’t you know that it’s all done with your investment money?”
To spend tens of billions of dollars on a one-night party without investing in any other asset.
What was even more absurd was that investors judged this acorn party as a good thing.
“That’s a good thing, not a bad thing. But the moment your investment runs out, you all become X!”
Taylor continued to tweet about the dangers of the Acorn Party.
However, all he got back was sarcastic comments telling him to do well.
“Shoo! stupid stuff! Everyone join hands with the acorn and go to hell.”
While he whimpers, a man approaches and sits down next to him. It was Vitalik Buterin, a colleague in the same development room and the project chief.
“Hey, Taylor, why are you so hot in the middle of the day?”
“It’s because stupid people don’t understand even if they give advice.”
“advice? What advice did you give me?”
Taylor shows Buterin the tweet’s post. There were 10 pages of comments lined up.
Buterin skims the comments and lets out a short sigh.
“Taylor. I know your heart, but the acorn won’t crumble easily.”
“What are you talking about? Those bastards are supporting the market with investors’ money. So the moment the money runs out, the game is over!”
“What would you do if you had a lot of money?”
“what?”
Buterin hands him a thick stack of papers. The document was a transaction ledger handed over from a virtual currency exchange.
“The WHTS Company had been monetizing their virtual currency for three weeks prior to the accident.”
“Three weeks before the accident… … Isn’t that when it’s almost at its peak?”
“It’s not just the peak, it’s the peak. Even though the market atmosphere was good at that time, the market price was always sideways, right? That’s what they did because they poured a lot of cryptocurrency into the market.”
Taylor couldn’t believe it. How can you rob all virtual currencies at the peak right before the crash?
“no way… … Didn’t those bastards know in advance that an accident would happen?”
“Maybe.”
“How do you know that? ah! Maybe they planned this accident.”
Taylor gave a gorilla-like roar and sat down in front of the monitor.
“Oooh! I won’t let these bastards go. How dare you touch this body?”
“What are you thinking?”
“What? should return the same Acorns are also Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies anyway. If you dig into the transmission code, there will be a vulnerability.”
If it had been Buterin, who was cold-hearted as usual, he would have stopped Taylor. Because there is still no clear evidence that they are the culprits.
But this time I didn’t want to. It was because he was dissatisfied with Acorn Coin, which surpassed Ethereum in his heart.
