My 1st Crypto Love

Let me tell you a story about me and my crypto wife. Her name is Scala. But she will always be Stellite for me.

She wasn’t easy to find, oh no, on the contrary! You could not find her in the prestigious clubs like Binance, Coinbase or KuCoin. No, my friend gave me a tip to go and check out a small bar in the backstreets of Cryptoland called TradeOgre. I found her there sitting alone at the table. She immediately caught my eye. But she wasn’t alone, there were guys trying to get her like crazy. Trades were delivered to her table at a rocket speed. I observed her on multiple evenings before I finally gave in, stood up to the challenge and proposed her at 3 sats. I just could not resist her charm, lovely purple colour of her skin and extremely big potential she had. She got me with her idea of a mobile miner, where everyone can mine their coins on a small device like mobile. Damn she was really persuasive. And stubborn. She layed around those 3 sats for months before she finally said YES to me. We married in March 2018 and from that moment on, we were flying, both of us!

We were euphoric. We flew by 4 and 5 sats up to 9 sats in no time. She really changed my life in a short term. So much I had to get back firm on my feet, so I did the unthinkable. I told her she needs to lose some weight. Just some small portion, 20%. To cover up for all the energy I put in when picking her up at 3 sats and all the energy she sucked out of me with her crazy run up to 9 sats.

She was furious! Damn, this girl is stubborn! She went on and on and flew up to 16 sats in a single day! I was shocked. I thought I am losing it. But then it hit me. I need to nurture her better. So I did again the unthinkable and told her unload some additional weight. Another 20%.

This time she understood. She came back down, slowly, back into my sight. I welcomed her with open arms and injected some fresh energy into her. We were again happy and smiling all the way. Life could not be better as she was finding her peace with me and she began to understand that for long term success she needs to grow up and evolve, before she goes ballistic towards 100sats. Make no mistake, we both dreamed big during this times, that mobile miner was unpolished diamond sitting right in front of us. But it needed time and a lot of work.

As we enjoyed our peaceful times and she worked hard on herself we thought we have it all. But then it happened. Bears have attacked our Crypto country and started to devastate the lands. Although I was determined that we will win against them we quickly realized this will be long term war. So we have hidden ourselves in my underground cabinet. Waited there for some time, thinking they will go away. But they didn’t.

With each day passing by she got more and more frustrated. She wanted to work and evolve further, but bears were slaying and killing everyone’s day by day by day by day. This was clearly getting to her. She changed. She changed completely. She was no longer pink…her skin became blue. She also renamed her to Scala. Just like that, puf! I wasn’t happy. I was devastated. I thought I lost her. This was just too much for me.

The next day she ran away…I don’t know how and when exactly, but she left me. I cried, I really did. I hold on her bag, my initial 3 sats bag, I couldn’t sell it, not like that, not without a proper goodbye. Life goes on, especially in Crypto lands, but it was never the same. There were new girls coming each day, new and flashy, but I didn’t even blink. They weren’t her.

With time passing by my optimism disappeared. I thought I will never see here again. I was sure the bears got her and that she is dead. I mourned, I berried her. In my head, she was gone.

Bears did however leave our land. It took almost 3 years, but I survived. With one goal — of finding her! It wasn’t an easy job, but it was what I owed her, for everything she did for me.

Luck has finally struck when last week, one evening, the unthinkable happened. In the evening as I was checking my old laptops I heard a knock on the doors. I was sure some stranger was lost again…but it wasn’t a stranger, nobody was there. When I returned back to my table there was a message on my laptop waiting for me. A puzzle! A true Indiana Jones puzzle. I had to go through some serious tasks and traps. And as I was going through challenges it became clearer to me what I am doing, I am bringing her back to life! After more than a year and a half, SHE IS READY TO COME BACK! And after a couple of hours of research and with a help of some tips and trick from her support team I brought her back to life!

She was still blue…still called herself Scala, but she was GEORGIOS! Her new nickname $XLA was even better as the first $XTL one. She was thinner, younger and her Energy, oh man, she completely dazzled me. AGAIN.

She told me her story, how she escaped the bears barely alive, fallen 100s of times but always got back on her feet (I told you she is stubborn!) and kept wondering through wastelands looking for her way back home, to me. Bears have set traps for her, tried to catch her and burry her alive, but at the end, she won. She never betrayed me, she never forgot me and she always tried her best to find the way back to me.

Now yesterday, with a little magical tool called Scala Swap she did it! And now the work continues, her mobile miner idea is close to be ready for launch and there sre new ideas she worked on in the past year and a half — all I can say is — THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT!

I am super happy and I am proud to be a strong Scala HODLer!
