The Painful Truth Behind “The Monkey Business” Story

Once upon a time, a lot of monkeys lived near a village.🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒

One day a merchant came to the village to buy these monkeys!🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵

He announced that he will be buying monkeys at $100 each. 🐵💵

The villagers thought that this man is mad.😇

They thought how can somebody buy stray monkeys at $100 each?

Still, some people caught some monkeys and gave it to this merchant and he gave them $100 for each monkey.

This news spread like wildfire and people caught monkeys and sold it to the merchant.😬

After a few days, the merchant announced that he will now buy monkeys at $200 each. 🐵💵💵

The lazy villagers also ran around to catch the remaining monkeys!🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒

They sold the remaining monkeys at $200 each.😋

Then the merchant announced that he will again buy monkeys at $500 each!
😮💵💵💵💵💵

The villagers start to lose sleep! … They caught six or seven monkeys, which was all that was left and got $500 each.🙊🐵🐵🐵🐵🐵🐒

The villagers were waiting anxiously for the next announcement.

Then the merchant announced that he is going home for a week. And when he returns, he will buy monkeys at $1000 each!🐵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵

He asked his employee to take care of the monkeys he bought. He was alone taking care of all the monkeys in a cage.🤠🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒

The merchant went home.😎

The villagers were very sad as there were no more monkeys left for them to sell it at $1000 each.☹😞😓

Then the employee told them that he will sell some monkeys at $700 each secretly. 😶

This news spread like fire. Since the merchant will buy monkeys at $1000 each whenever he returns, it means there is a $300 profit for each monkey.😬

The next day, villagers made a queue near the monkey cage.🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐵🐒🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑

The employee sold all the monkeys at $700 each. The rich bought monkeys in big lots. The poor borrowed money from money lenders and also bought monkeys!
🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵💵

The villagers took care of their monkeys & waited for the merchant to return. 😕

But nobody came! …😤 Then they ran to the employee…🤠

But he had already left too !😉

The villagers then realised that they have bought the useless stray monkeys at $700 each and unable to sell them! 😩😫😨😰😭😭😭😭😭😭.

This is the story of bitcoin and other similar wonder banks as well as other greedy ways of acquiring wealth.
