Ah well I can help you with that. The universe does have an end, Milliways the restaurant at the end of the universe which serves a particularly fine Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster.

Is it like playing “Dope Wars” but with imaginary currency instead of imaginary drugs? I spent the odd afternoon & morning filling my time at work over the years playing this game with some success. I may give “Bitcoin Wars” a go.
I remember having a conversation with a bloke from Stroud in the Admiral Benbow pub in Bristol, in 1983, where I posited the argument that as computer usage became more prevalent, humans would evolve to have no fingers as such but just little stumpy flippers, with which to jab away at keyboards. He countered, not unreasonably, by describing my theory as ****e, saying 'How would we get our money out of our pockets with short, stumpy digits?' We won't need to, I retorted, financial transactions will be entirely electronic. 'Ernie, you're a no-nowt ****', he cheerfully rejoined, in a deep west country drawl, 'Get your hand in your pocket whilst you still can and buy us a pint.' During that evening I think I invented Bitcoin.

Only other things I remember about him (sorry, you); he was a big fan of The Cure and he did a lot of weed. He really landed on his feet, mind. We all lived in digs. His was this fantastic house with a lovely posh couple. Two weeks in they announced they were going to spend the year in the States and would he mind awfully house-sitting for the duration. They even left him a maintainance allowance. Which he spent on dope. We had some great parties there.
The only thing I know about bitcoins is you can buy Russian prossies off the dark web with them. And kilos of Turkish brown. What’s not to like?
