2/ Joe buys a super food at one of only a handful of stores available to him or anyone else. Not everyone knows about this food, so it's never been a problem to buy it until now.
This food, like #Bitcoin , is hard to make but helps keep him healthier than anything else.

3/ Most people poo'd poo'd the idea of a food that can handle all the nutrients a person needed, but over time, it became more popular. Like #BTC , so much so that the shelves were becoming bare due to demand.
What happened next bothered Joe.

4/ The shortage caused people with more money than Joe to start buying the food directly from the drivers ( #Bitcoin OTC exchanges), so the food wasn't even making it to the stores, or were being sold at the back of the store, thus never making it to the shelves.

5/ Joe also tried from drivers. But one day, even the drivers couldn't get any.
Joe found out that companies & governments were going directly to the very small group of farmers ( #BTC miners) growing the super food & keeping it for themselves.
Joe was no longer a buyer.

6/ Ultimately, large companies & governments either bought the farmers or prohibited them to make the super food, controlling the rest that could be made until the ground was no longer fertile (last #Bitcoin mined).
Joe now only was given some when allowed.
