My best BCH experience yet?

**Wednesday, 9th June 2021 was the day I had one of my best experiences in the crypto space with BCH (arguably the best crypto currently in existence).** It was a beautiful morning with a cool weather and a mild to moderate temperature. The rays from the sun peeping through the window to greet my lazy self in bed. Oh, how did I sleep past my usual time to be awaken by nature at 8AM? Was it because I slept later than usual because I tried going through my books to make up for my procrastinations over the last weekend or because my brain recorded the fact that Wednesday was a lecture-free day as an opportunity to be lazy? Either way, it was an awesome night. I got up, loud my speakers and went ahead to do my morning chores. It was during the chores I remembered a beautiful wrist watch I had seen during my visit to one of the boutique few days back. I had always wanted such an easy going watch that could help me to monitor my blood pressure and even answer my calls while my phone rest in the pocket. I didn't even bother to know the product but I was in Love with the specifications and have been wanting to go grab it since then. I decided to take advantage of the free day to go claim my love. Lol. It wasn't too long before I got prepared and set out on the street waving at the next taxi. One came to a halt and I informed the driver of my location. One unusual thing that happened was that, the taxi driver asked for his payment immediately I entered. It has never been like that because I usually pay after I arrive my location. Why is this different? In order not to change my mood by asking too many questions, I reached for my purse in the pocket, opened and handed him the Bill. Fifteen minutes later, I was already standing in front of the boutique. I couldn't wait to go take another look at the beautiful watch and probably take it home. I hurriedly entered and went straight to the corner I had seen it the other day. Oh, they are two now? I picked one and took a thorough look, tried it on and took it straight to the counter to make my payment. The cashier was just smiling at me. I couldn't figure out why she was smiling but I assumed they were trained so to be nice and I couldn't help too but smile back. I was happy I got what I came for. After inspecting the wrist watch, she signaled for my payment. I gladly reached out for my purse, it wasn't in the first pocket. Even though that was where I kept it the last time, I still patiently searched the other pockets. It wasn't in any. Oh! It probably fell off my pocket in the taxi! This was when reality dawned on me that I had lost my purse, wallet and the few Bills that were in there. What do I do? How can I go home without my precious watch? I only came for it and now that my heart has been set on going home with it, I couldn't do otherwise. Even though there was no sign indicating that the boutique accepted payment in cryptocurrencies, I still went ahead to ask the cashier. She immediately said No! as her smiling face was already turning gloomy. I couldn't blame her though because there were other people on the queue waiting to make their payments. I had to step out of the line. Fortunately for me, a guy overheard when I was asking the cashier if she would accept crypto for payment. I think he was moved out of compassion looking at my facial expression to step out of the queue too. He asked which crypto I wanted paying with and this question brought me out of my deep thought. I was actually thinking of which friend to call so they could probably come for my rescue. I immediately answered **"BITCOINCASH"** and he was like **"well, I haven't used that before."** Surprisingly he had Bitcoin.com wallet where he keeps his Bitcoins. One of the questions he asked before opening his app was if the transaction would be immediate. I assured him and He immediately sent me his BCH address. I sent the amount equivalent to the one I was in need of and it appeared in his wallet almost immediately. **He expressed his amazement at the speed** and went ahead to hand his credit card to the cashier and signaled her to deduct the amount for both his goods and my wrist watch. **And that was how BCH saved me yet again!** I boarded a taxi home and paid on arrival. The driver trusted me enough to Wait in the car while I went in and returned with his payment in Cash. Thanks goodness, my ID card or other valuable documents weren't in the purse aside the Credit card and the small cash. **It was such an awesome experience and I now have my beloved wrist watch with the help of BCH.**
