The Gold Standard

Hello. You look a bit disappointed. I’ll bet you were expecting a pot of gold, and here it’s just little old me, a corgi. Well, I’m going to let you in on a secret, treasure hunter: You found something even better. You found a loyal friend, a warm hug when life seems dark, who’ll never judge you even when others will. The love of a good dog is worth more than all the pots of gold under all the rainbows in the world, my friend. Besides, I already used it to buy Bitcoin, and now it’s only worth $27.95.

Wait, now it’s worth $4,500. Wait, $1.95. Wait, $95.17. Wait… (Imgur)

    I’ll take it!

    I have heard several different podcasts do episodes on Bitcoin, and I still do not even remotely understand it. I’ll happily stick with dogs.

    That whole bitcoin thing scares the stuffing out of me. I do know that I wouldn’t trade my pupper for all the bitcoins in all the world.

    Corgis never disappoint. It’s part of the Corgi Code.

    I certainly prefer the Corgi Standard, or the Standard Poodle, or indeed any canine, to Bitcoin, which is even stupider than “real” money—which, naturally, I keep under my mattress.

    Best post ever.

    Oh, yes, I’d take the corgi over any pot of gold – he IS pot of gold.

    Can we make that a “Daily Double,” Alex (er, Mike)?

    No contest — I’ll take the corgi!
