1- Hey Tom



2 - Hi Sarah



1- Tom have you seen all the news about bitcoin?



2- Yeah I have actually, why?



1- Well I'm thinking about buying some, do you think I should?



2- Well, I did



1- Really? how much did you buy?



2 - I bought 500 dollars worth of bitcoin, and when I bought it the price was 1 bitcoin for 18 thousand dollars, and now the price is 1 bitcoin for 9 thousand dollars, so I've lost half of my money, I'm 250 dollars down.



1- Oh no, what are you going to do?



2- I'm going to hold, I'm not going to sell, I'm sure the price will go back up soon.



1-Well you know what, maybe I should buy now because the price is so low.



2- That's not a bad idea, hmm I think I'll buy some more as well. Just another 200 dollars. Imagine if the price goes to 50 thousand dollars.



1- I'm so excited can you show me how to do it.
