B.C. by Mastroianni and Hart for July 21, 2021

Just might be how it really works.

I don’t get this one bit!

Panel 5: BC looks confused.

Panel 6: BC punches Peter square in the nose.

Some fools never learn.

People will buy anything. Companies bought nothing from the Government in the 1980s so they could broadcast wireless signals. The “airways” cost the Government nothing to produce and they made money on it.

People pay good money for this thing called cryptocurrency. You can’t see it. You can’t touch it. Yet people believe it exists. I guess you can say the same thing about God, Santa Clause and Covid. You humanoids are really funny creatures.

Crypto? Isn’t that where the Pharaohs stored all THEIR riches?

They may be in the cloud but…..Clam got feet!!!!

Next panel: Peter makes his getaway in a “cloud”…of dust!

Rip off.

You don’t get them, they are in the “Cloud”. You know your money in the wind.

Kind of the same thing as a credit card back in the day. Perhaps as crazy of paper instead of gold. However, I rarely hear of anyone trading their crypto currency back into cash. Maybe they do and that is just not interesting enough for news, but I think I’ll wait for this “net boom” crypto thing to bust and see what happens.

“The Cloud” aka somebody else’s computer.

If it’s important, keep it where you can get it.

And the cloud opened up and rained ‘currency’ down upon the people.

Sounds like a lot of “crapto” !

PT Barnum of the “There’s a sucker born every minute,” quote would be bowing down to the Bitcoin people exclaiming “I’m not worthy.”

rather, it’s in your imagination. But according to your own terms, cross your fingers so it doesn’t start raining

Wrong little clam. You exist, you can be seen, you can be traded for durable goods, food shelter. Crypto/clam coins can not.

Imagination doesn’t always remain high in the atmosphere. What will be under the fall? What widespread area unwittingly is to experience the fall? Our currency is currently supported by good faith only.

Sign of things to come. One day we’ll have to pay for air.

Of course you don’t:)

Wonder where clams are in the evolutionary scheme of things.

And, thus does Jeff Bezos’s ancient ancestor starts to build what would later be know as Amazon.

Just another bubble a little thinner then most……one day ( SOON ? ) ……POP……..than many people saying OH SHIT !!!!

One could argue the “to” in the last panel s/b “too”, which would apply to maybe both the strip and the concept…
