[Panel 1]
[Jaakko]
Nils, we need to talk
about your code.
[Nils]
Not only will I deny there are any
bugs, I'll rewrite the commit
history to prove they weren't mine.
[Ginny]
It's not the bugs exactly, it's
what people are doing with it.
[Panel 2]
[Jaakko]
Remember back in the day you
invented electric cowrie shells
so that our more, er, dedicated
users could keep playing when
the markets were closed?
[Nils]
Er, yes?
[Ginny]
Some of them
bought cowrie
shells for
real money.
[Nils]
HOW? (I won't bother to ask why.)
[Panel 3]
[Ginny]
From other users.
[Jaakko]
And it has got
caught up in the
cryptocurrency hype...
[Ginny]
And now one cowrie shell is
supposedly worth a thousand quid,
but nobody's spending them because
they think the price is going up.
[Panel 4]
[Nils]
Oh, is THAT all?
Sell all our cowrie reserves.
That'll crash the price and
everyone will forget about them.
Then next week we turn them off and
bring out Cowrie Shells Gold.
[Jaakko]
And it can help top
up our beer kitty.
[Ginny]
Except they'll probably want
to buy them with Bitcoin.
