The Steem blockchain is one of the weirdest communities online I am fortunate enough to be taking part in. Today I had probably the weirdest: I sold my tooth on Steem.
Fun fun week of dental pain
I've had a pretty shitty week, starting with an emergency visit to a sleepy dentist at 3AM Saturday morning. I will save you the graphic details, but suffice to say that I left over an hour later with a prescription for A LOT of antibiotics, death-flavored mouthwash and a fat bill. In addition, he recommended I visit my regular dentist to have the tooth removed. It was the biggest in my mouth and apparently cracked under its crown.
So yesterday noon I dragged myself to the dentist and had the thing removed. It still hurt. Last night on the Utopian Open Source Radio Show I complained extensively about my face feeling like it's being punched ALL THE TIME. Gods bless my medical weed permit for allowing me to sleep.
Enter Steem Tooth Fairy!
This morning I woke up to a long list of messages, one of them from the amazing @nothingismagick (who is totally magic). He sent me the following meme:
I responded by saying I had forgotten to put my tooth under the pillow. "Considering it was the biggest," I said, "I expect a bitcoin wallet address under my pillow!"
So he offered to be my tooth fairy. I was convinced he was joking until he sent me 10 STEEM with the memo: "The Tooth Fairy is Real."
Shit just got real.
I mean, I've watched "Orange is the New Black" and considered selling dirty panties (for about 15 minutes on a really bad day) but mailing my tooth to someone on the Internet? Will he clone me? Will he wear it as a trophy? Either way, I think a tooth that big is worth more than 10 STEEM. Especially with today's prices. According to some, the toothchain might be a better investment.
Why no photo of the tooth in question?
Because for some reason it feel like taking a photo of a used tampon or a turd and posting it on Steem (ew ew ew). It was in me for most of my life. It's yucky looking, huge, and in a little jar on my desk until I decide if I am returning the Fairy his money or shipping the little jar abroad.
