MODERATORS
His specialty was bitcoin, and he made a good thing out of not mining any. The government paid him well for every bushel of bitcoin he did not mine. The more bitcoin he did not mine, the more money the government gave him, and he spent every penny he didn't earn on new land to increase the amount of bitcoin he did not produce. Major Major's father worked without rest at not growing bitcoin. On long winter evenings he remained indoors and did not mend harness, and he sprang out of bed at the crack of noon every day just to make certain that the chores would not be done. He invested in land wisely and soon was not mining more bitcoin than any other man in the county. Neighbors sought him out for advice on all subjects, for he had made much money and was therefore wise. “As ye sow, so shall ye reap,” he counseled one and all, and everyone said “Amen.”
