Patient: Doctor, doctor I'm addicted to Bitcoin! When I wake up the first thing I do is shout, "BITCOIN AHOY!".

I get in the shower and have to sing Ode to Satoshi really loudly until a passer-by throws a rock through my window (I guess so they can hear me better).

Then I get dressed, smelling my socks which I bought with Bitcoin as I do so. I love to darn those socks - at least 27% of the cotton in them is original!

I have to have alphabetti spaghetti for breakfast so I can spell out "I love Bitcoin" on the toast. Sometimes there's no letter "v" in the tin, so I just write on the wall instead.

When I drive to work I catch up on the latest LTB podcasts. Occasionally I swerve all over the road a little bit as I try to remember the "magic word" for later. I can't wait to see if the LTB network will start a subscription service for early release episodes and audio versions of all their content! Chain Radio's launching next week too.

Sometimes I accidentally drive into the side of the local bank because I went into a daydream, imagining a time in the future when the bank is no longer there. When this happens I get locked up and have to spend my time inside thinking about Bitcoin.

When I get to the office I send all of my work to someone the other side of the world, and they do it for me. I pay them with Bitcoin because it's better than using Western Union. I'm hoping to get locked up for this too, so I can spend my time in prison thinking about Bitcoin. I spend my time at work reading articles on http://letstalkbitcoin.com because they haven't made them available in audio format yet. Nevermind, at least I earn LTBcoin for doing it

On my drive home I listen to year old episodes of LTB which I missed the first time round. I love it. It reminds me how lucky I am to have Bitcoin in my life.

When I get home I turn on my computer and open up a couple of Bitcoin related windows in the browser. One of them will often be http://letstalkbitcoin.com again, so I'll keep refreshing the page to see if there are any new topics or articles to read! The other may be something like Winkdex. I like to press Alt-Tab really really really quickly to flash between the windows until I feel sick! I call this a Bitcoin high. I think it's legal.

Then I eat a tin of Spam and go upstairs to pray (A Bitcoin Prayer:

Our Satoshi, who art in hiding

Hallowed be thy name

Thy protocol done

Wallets will come

On clients as they are on paper

Give us this day our daily Bitcoin

And forgive us our speculation

As we forgive those who use silk road

And lead us not into no confirmation

But deliver us from fiat

For thine is the blockchain, the power and the glory

For ever and ever

Anon

Then I go to bed shouting, "BITCOIN AHOY!", and I dream of Bitcoins and Gravy!

Is there anything you can do to help me?

Doctor: What's Bitcoin?

    Cool post; I have had similar experiences, and I have the crypto bug big time. Your socks gave me a chuckle as I do the same with my T-Shirts.

    Must learn that prayer. +1

    Now this is dedication, lol. I hadn't even seen these bitcoin fan-boy projects so thanks for the heads up.

    This would be a good narrative style for a weekly forum roundup.

    Ha, I just posted this photo yesterday, with the drug inference with a bunch of bags of Bitcoin keychains.

    If you ever want to promote this to be an article, you're welcome to use the image.

    Our Father, which art in the blockchain, Hallowed be thy Node. Thy Moon will come. Thy hash will be done, on earth, As it is encrypted. Give us this day our daily coin. And forgive us our DDoSes, As we forgive them that DDoS against us. And lead us not into regulation, But deliver us from fiat currency inflation. For thine is the Ledger, The processing power, and the wattage. For ever and ever. Amen

    That's what I thought as I was reading along.

    Thanks everyone for your comments. I'd have put more thought into it if I knew someone would mention the possibility of promoting it as an article!

    My original idea was just someone wittering on about Bitcoin and the other person not knowing what they're talking about. Then I thought of making it a "doctor, doctor joke" and decided to post it here. I made it long just to hide the punch line.

    I only spent a few minutes on it, so it could have been written and arranged so much better. I agree that the narrative style would be a good way to put together a weekly forum roundup. Does anyone with the time to research and compose such a thing fancy doing it?

    Thanks @rotalumis, I see it here on the front page. What was the process? Is it just a case of submitting it, or is it more long winded than that? I'll have a think about how much to tip you, once I've had time to find out how much LTBc I'll get for this.
