LIVE FREE: A Short Story

Prof. Wale, whose hairs are now grey from the dye of time, stands in awe watching a bulldozer uprooting his only house. The house stands on the popular Tinubu road. The teacher's eyes are red, full of dust and tears. The government had issued him a notice to quit a few weeks earlier and now the evil day has come.

Prof. Wale is a cold skeptic who does not believe anything. He had stumbled on bitcoin years ago when the miracle coin was sold at $1 but he cited the "greater fool theory" as why he would not invest in cryptocurrency. He said, "bitcoin is a bubble, it will burst soon"

As the bulldozer kisses the roof of the helpless building, Prof. Wale wished he had bought 50 bitcoins nine years ago. Now, he would be worth over $700,000. With this huge money, he would build a mansion and even visit the moon. Alas, it is too late. He had lost the opportunity to LIVE FREE.
