# Bitcoin Fortunes 🍪
If you love fortune cookies and Bitcoin, this is for you.
Start your morning with a fresh fortune about Bitcoin, randomly
picked from a curated collection of interesting quotes, facts,
email excerpts, and relics of the past.
### Prerequisites
Make sure that you have the `fortune` and `cowsay` packages
installed.
#### Debian/Ubuntu
```sh
$ sudo apt-get install fortune-mod cowsay
```
#### Mac
```sh
$ brew install fortune cowsay
```
### Usage
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/onyb/bitcoin-fortunes
$ cd bitcoin-fortunes
$ fortune . | cowsay -e "BB"
```
**Note:** It's a good idea to do `git pull` on your local
repo from time to time, in order to keep your fortunes
collection up-to-date.
### Display a fortune when opening a new shell window
Depending on the shell you use, add the following at the end of your
`~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc` file.
```sh
fortune | cowsay -e "BB"
```
### Contributing
Pull requests adding new fortunes are most welcome, as long as they
are relevant and interesting.
Please add your contributions directly to the `bitcoin` file. After
merging each PR, I'll manually rebuild the fortune database (`bitcoin.dat`),
and push to the repo myself, in order to prevent shipping spam / unsafe
content.
