The First Encounter
My name is Ryan, a programmer and an early Bitcoin holder. While most of my life revolves around code and price charts, deep down, I yearn for a genuine connection.
It was a weekend afternoon, and I was coding at a café. Suddenly, a girl approached me and asked softly, “Is this seat taken?” I looked up and saw her wearing a light blue dress, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, her eyes clear and her smile warm. I paused for a moment, then replied, “No, please sit.”
Her name was Sophie, a freelance illustrator. We hit it off immediately, chatting about everything from coffee flavors to our careers and future aspirations. She liked my sense of humor, and I was drawn to her talent and gentleness.
The Conversations
We exchanged WeChat and started talking frequently. She would often share her artwork with me, while I would tell her interesting stories about Bitcoin and blockchain. Although she didn’t fully understand the technical aspects, she always listened attentively and asked thoughtful questions.
Once, she asked me, “Why do you love Bitcoin so much?” I smiled and said, “Because it’s like a belief, representing freedom and decentralization.” She nodded thoughtfully and said, “So, is it like love? Something that can make you both happy and frustrated?” I was caught off guard, surprised by her comparison.
The Date
We decided to meet in person. That day, I wore a white shirt she liked and brought a bouquet of roses. When she saw me, her eyes lit up, and she smiled, saying, “You look handsome today.” I felt a little shy and handed her the flowers, saying, “These are for you. I hope you like them.”
We went to a small restaurant she recommended and ordered her favorite dishes. During the meal, she suddenly asked, “Besides Bitcoin, what else do you enjoy?” I thought for a moment and said, “I actually love traveling, but I’ve never found the right companion.” She smiled and said, “Maybe we can go together next time.”
The Moment
After dinner, we walked to a nearby park. The night was beautiful, with moonlight gently illuminating her face. We sat on a bench, talking about our dreams. She said, “I hope one day my art will reach more people.” I replied, “I’m sure you’ll make it happen.”
Suddenly, she turned to me, looked into my eyes, and said softly, “Ryan, I really like you.” My heart raced, and I wasn’t sure how to respond. She smiled and added, “You don’t have to answer right now. I just wanted you to know.”
The Future
From that day on, our relationship grew closer. We traveled together, shared the little moments in life, and supported each other’s passions. She started learning about Bitcoin, and I accompanied her to art exhibitions. We became an integral part of each other’s lives.
One day, she asked me, “What do Bitcoin and love have in common?” I thought for a moment and said, “They both require trust and persistence.” She nodded and smiled, saying, “Then let’s keep going together.”
Epilogue
Today, we’re still together. She continues to paint her dreams, and I continue to chase my beliefs. The price of Bitcoin may fluctuate, but our bond grows stronger every day. Perhaps this is the story I’ve been searching for—the story of Bitcoin and roses.
