    How Crypto Currency works... an analogy in Layman's terms.

    Not long ago a merchant found many monkeys living near a certain Village.
    One day he came into the Village stating that he wanted to buy these monkeys.
    He announced that he would buy the monkeys for $100 each.
    The villagers thought that this man must be crazy - How can somebody buy stray monkeys at $100 each?
    Still people caught some monkeys and sold them to the merchant for $100 each.
    This news spread like wildfire and more people caught monkeys and sold them to the merchant.
    After a few days, the merchant announced that he would now buy monkeys for $200 each.
    The laziest villagers now ran around to catch the remaining monkeys!
    They sold the remaining monkeys at $200 each.
    The merchant then announced that he would buy monkeys for $500 each!
    The villagers start to lose sleep!.....They caught six or seven monkeys, which was all that were left and got $500 each.
    The villagers were awaiting anxiously for the next announcement.
    Then the merchant announced that he is going on Holiday for a week, but when he returns, he will buy monkeys at $1000 each!
    He also said that his employee will be in charge, and would take care of the monkeys he had purchased pending his return.
    The Merchant went on holiday!
    The Villagers were frantic and very sad as there were no more monkeys left for them to sell at $1000 each as promised by the Merchant.
    Then the Merchant's Employee contacted them and told them that he would secretly sell them some monkeys at $700 each.
    The news spread like wildfire, as the Merchant had promised that on his return he would buy monkeys at $1000 each, for a $300 profit for each monkey.

    The next day The Villagers queued up near the Monkey Cage.
    The Employee sold all the monkeys at $700 each. The Rich bought monkeys in large lots. The poor borrowed money from money lenders and bought the rest of the monkeys!
    The Villagers took care of their monkeys & waited for the Merchant to return!
    However nobody came ! .... Then they ran to Find the Employee
    ....However he was not to be found!
    The Villagers then realized that they have been duped into buying the useless Stray monkeys at $700 each and were now unable to sell them!
    This Monkey Business is now known as Bitcoin!
