Seperti biasa pagi-pagi sudah mengirim pesan dan menanyakan aktivitas hari ini kepada Budi "Have a good morning. I exercise out this morning and was getting ready to go to my teacher. What are you planning on doing today?". Dia bercerita akan menemui dosennya.
Budi menjawab "Good morning today I have activity teacher education assistance" karena ada kegiatan Pendampingan Guru Penggerak di sekolahnya. Kim pun membalas "I'm going to go out now. We'll talk when I get home in the afternoon".
Budi pun membalas dengan ucapan "Be careful on the way". Kim pun membalas pesan Budi dengan mengatakan "In the afternoon we can talk calmly". Budi pun menjawab singkat Ok. Lalu Kim pun mengirim pesan "See you in the afternoon". Dan Budi pun membalas "See you".
Sore harinya Kim langsung mengirim pesan mengabarkan bahwa dirinya sudah berada di rumah "Have a nice afternoon. I have arrived at home now. I met my teacher. what are you doing right now?". Karena ketiduran Budi baru membalas beberapa jam berikutnya dengan membalas pesan "Good afternoon sorry I rest and take a nap".
Kim lalu mengatakan "I am resting at home. Today very happy because i meet my teacher". Â Dan Budi pun membalasnya "I'm happy to hear it". Kim lalu menceritakan kegiatan hari itu "I met my mentor (Soyoung Kim - a well-known Korean economist and top financial expert) when I was in college" He taught me a lot, and I also learned a lot from him.". Budi pun membalas "about anything can you tell me?".
Budi pun langsung browsing di Internet nama tersebut dan ketemulah gambarnya seseorang yang dimaksud. Kim menceritakan sedikit tentang mentor dan dosennya tersebut "Dr. Soyoung Kim is Professor at Department of Economics, Seoul National University. He received his PhD in economics from Yale University.He is the editor-in-chief of the Seoul Economic and Asian Economic Journal, and the deputy editor-in-chief of the Macroeconomics and Asia-Pacific Financial Research magazines". Budi langsung mengirim pesan gambar kepada Kim tentan Soyoung Kim.
Lalu kim pun menjawab "Yeah! this is my mentor.I am very lucky to have met my teacher. Did you ever have a teacher who taught you?". Â Budi pun menjawab tetapi agak sedikit tidak nyambung "Yes I ever with teacher in senior high school, There are always look young".
Lalu Kim pun bercerita bahwa maksudnya guru yang telah mengubah hidup kamu dengan membalas "I mean the teacher who changed your life.My teacher is very good, He taught me a lot about investing in cryptocurrency and Bitcoin. I am not as good as my teacher.My company would be unthinkable without my mentor's guidance during the COVID era".
Karena Budi belum menggunakan Crypto dan Bitcoin maka dia menjawab "I haven't used crypto and bitcoin yet". Kim pun membalas "you know 90% of Korean doing investment as a side business to get extra income.in recent years, Cryptocurrency trading is more and more popular among all investments. you should try to learn some knowledge about it".
Mendengar hal tersebut Budi kaget karena pengguna Crypto dan Bitcoin di Indonesia belum sebanyak di Korea. Tapi rupanya Budi belum yakin dan tertarik dengan hal tersebut lalu dia membalas "I'm not sure yet and the price is very fluctuating".
Kim pun membalas "If you have the information and news from the reliable sources you can do data research and analyst to get a good to do trading". Budi pun membalas "Thank you for your information about that".
Rupanya Kim semakin penasaran membujuk Budi dengan mengatakan "my pleasure to share with you. you can search on Google about Cryptocurrency and Blockchain Technology to get basic knowledge".
Budi pun membalas pesan Kim dengan mengatakan "in Indonesia not many use crypto and bitcoin for business". Kim pun membalas "not only in Indonesia, all around the world start using Crypto as a new payment method". Kemudian Budi balik bertanya kepada Kim "your company already uses crypto and bitcoin for any purchases?".
Kim pun membalas "Yes, I exchange some of my company's funds for USDT to make transactions when needed because sometimes to make urgent transactions on weekends we can't withdraw from the bank, isn't it? and some Restaurants, Hotels, Malls and Jewelry shops in Seoul accept the payment with Cryptocurrency and there are also discount promotion for the Crypto payment too".Â
Budi menceritakan bahwa di Indonesia belum banyak penggunakan Crypto dan Bitcoin untuk transaksi di restoran, hotel dan mall dengan mengatakan "In Indonesia still use cash, bank transfer, QRIS and e-money".
Kim meyakinkan Budi tentang keamanan Crypto dan Bitcoin dengan mengatakan "Blockchain Technology is secure and will be one of the pillars of the world's currency. as my experience using Cryptocurrency is very convenient for me. And I can do trading and make profits from it too".
Dalam hati Budi ada banyak permasalahan di Indonesia salah satunya dengan internet yang lambat dengan membalas "a problem that often occurs in Indonesia, the internet signal is still slow, especially in rural areas like my area".
Kiim pun membalas "that only depends on your government. A country to develop fast depends on the Transportation, business, education, and water supply are the most important. but nowaday in the 21st century Internet connection and network also take part role of the develpement of the country".
Dalam hati Budi, belum tahu saja nih Kim kalau di Indonesia banyak jalan yang rusak. Lalu dia berkata "Yes I agree with you" dan Kim pun menjawab "in the past 20 years, in a family, there is one person have a job the whole family can live happily and enough for them. But right now, everybody in the family doing work but the daily expense is not enough to cover. that's why people are start looking to do part-time job or other extra income source". Â Budi pun membalas "maybe because it needs more".Â
Kiim lalu menjelaskan lagi "it's worst after the pandemic. Some people even lost their job and can't support their family well". Budi pun membalas bahwa di Indonesia juga sama banyak orang yang menjadi pengangguran gara-gara Covid dengan menulis pesan "the same as in Indonesia now there are many unemployed".
Kim mengatakan kita masih beruntung dan masih bisa bertahan dengan menulis pesan "it's lucky for us to keep in touch and still frim with our business". Budi pun membalas "Yes, I hope the world gets better" Semoga dunia menjadi lebih baik.
Kim menjelaskan lagi dan bahagia punya teman lintas negara sepertinya "The world is sick and people became greedier. In this kind of situation, I'm happy to get a new friend from far away land and can have a nice conversation, can share something with you. That's the blessing for me". Budi pun membalas "Thank you Ema for making me your friend. We can share about anything". Kim membalas lagi "I wish our life be better in the future". Budi pun membalas "thank you".
Kim akan bersiap makan malam dengan temannya dengan menulis pesan "Now, I'm going to meet a friend who is also my business partner and have a dinner with her.I will send you a message when I get back home from dinner". Budi pun membalas "Ok Ema have a nice dinner with her". Kim membalas "see you later" dan Budi pun menjawab "see you" dan dibalas oleh Kim dengan gambar pinguin dengan tulisan "see you later".
Malam harinya dia mengirim pesan kembali "Have a good night. I have eaten my dinner, Have you eaten your dinner? What do you have plans to do tonight?" . Budi pun membalas "I have eaten dinner with fried rice, I have plan to editing video".
Rupanya Kim ingin dieditkan video lagi oleh Budi dengan menulis pesan I will also select pictures and send them again. Please do one more". Â Budi pun menjawab "Ok i waiting you sent pictures" dan Kim pun membalas 'I will definitely have to choose". Budi pun membalas "Ok I will waiting".
Kim pun membalas lagi "How many pictures of different clothes do you need to make a video file?" Dia mengirim 15 foto disaat budi menjawab "10 pictures". Kim membalas "It is Ok?". Lalu Budi menanyakan "what song do you want?" Kim membalas "Black pink". Budi membalas "what song?" yang langsung dibalas dengan "I thinking". Kemudian Budi menyirimkan video Youtubenya barangkali salah.
Kim membalas "ahahahahhaa, Yeah! It Ok". Budi pun membalas "Ok I will editing video for you". Kim mengirim pesan lagi ingin mengganti lagunya dengan "boombayah, i will waiting you". Budi menanyakan "boombayah or I thinking" malah dibalas " yeah yes yes, Send me when you're done". Â Budi pun membalas "Ok".
Karena editingin butuh waktu lama, maka Kim mengirim pesan "I think it will take some more time to complete. I will wait for you while doing the analyst on the trend of the market". Lalu Budipun menanyakan sesuatu "you must cek analyst on trend of the market every day?". Â Kim pun menjawab "I do it almost every day because if I do I can make profits every day. So, why not?".
Setelah menunggu beberapa waktu video yang dibuat Budi sudah jadi dan dikirim ke Kim. Kim mengapresiasi dengan menulis "wow, Thank you xo much". Budi pun membalas "you're welcome".
Kim menanyakan sesuatu lagi ke Budi "I'm done with my data research too.what are you doing now?". Budi pun membalas "Reading WhatsApp". Kim penasaran "is there another one that you are chatting now except me?". Budi menjawab "Yes only you". Kim membalas "Ok, I will believe you this time". Budi pun membalas "Thank you".
Kim akan memajang video kiriman Budi di Instagramnya tapi tetap menawarkan trading kepada Budi "I post the video you edit for me in IG Story. I'm also thank you for your gift. I really like it. I have to do trading for tonight. Would you like to join? I will guide and teach you to get profits with me. As a friend I can help you with this one back".
Budi membalas "OK' untuk videonya yang akan diupload ke Instagram. Dan Dia belum tertarik karena belum ada uangnya untuk belajar trading "But I don't have money for trading".
Kim membalas bahwa uang bukan masalah karena hanya $200 minimal untuk pemula dengan menulis pesan "You are wrong about that. As a beginner, I don't recommend you to start with tons of money. A minimum of 200$ is enough to start learning about this trading".
Rupanya Kim belum tahu bahwa Budi tidak punya uang sebanyak itu untuk belajar trading. Tetapi Budi tetap membalas dengan santun "Thank you for the advice".
Kim pun menjelaskan lagi "as you know, the trading investment is very promising and everybody start following it. I think it's will be a good chance for you too.What do you think about it? at first, I will give my you data calculated, so you can learn about this trading easily while making profits". Budi pun membalas "Thank you Kim" walaupun di dalam hatinya jadi malas ngobrol dengan Kim kalau menawarkan terus Crypto dan Bitcoin.
Karena Budi mengantuk maka dia tidak bertanya lagi kepada Kim, dan rupanya Kim melakukan transaksi dengan Cryptonya lalu screenshotnya dikirim ke Budi untuk meyakinkan dia bahwa enaknya menggunakan Crypto.
