A comedy sketch where someone tries to pay their friend Jerry with DigiByte cryptocurrency. Jerry refuses, pointing out that banks won't accept it and he'd rather have cash. The sketch pokes fun at crypto's promises of speed and decentralization versus the reality of actually using it.
So say you owe your friend Jerry some money. You decide to meet him in some such cafe, and you order some such coffee. And when he comes, he says, where's my money? You say, do you take digibyte? Jerry frowns. Nah, man. Give me the cash, man. You eye Jerry suspiciously. But digibyte has its own decentralized, immutable blockchain. One of the fastest, if not the fastest, in the world. And if I pay you with digibyte, it'll be recorded on their blockchain. So next month you won't forget and come back to me claiming I never paid you. It's called blockchain, Jerry. Digital currency. Get with the times, Jerry. Jerry gets defensive. I've heard all about this cryptocurrency stuff. I'm not your mom. I also know that all of these currencies keep popping up, and most of them are scams and will be worthless in a day. Well, Jerry, Digibyte has actually been around for four years. Four years, Jerry. That's the whole of the 21st century in crypto time. And they have consistently worked to become faster and more secure. So download their wallet. Shut up and take my money, Jerry. But Jerry isn't having it. He shakes his head. I'm not taking it. My bank won't let me deposit it. How are you supposed to put it into your bank if they won't take it? You stand up, you get mad, you get libertarian. I am my own bank, Jerry. But Jerry isn't giving up. Well, here's the one thing that cryptocurrency will never have, he says. Jerry pulls out his wallet and takes out a $100 bill. The security of cash. At which point you grab the cash from Jerry's hand, knock him over the head with a coffee mug, and run home to buy yourself some more Digivyte.
