Twice yesterday I had to interact with normies trying to get me to do something unbelievably crazy stupid in the legacy fiat system.

I literally burst out laughing in front of them before telling them I’m a Bitcoiner, I don’t have to live in your shitty legacy fiat system.

I walked off.

They were actually quite nice, intelligent people who actually understood how stupid the things they were asking me to do, but thought stupidity was normal.

What were they trying to get you to do?

One incident involved a tenants son who wanted to pay me through the agent for a years rent.

The agent was going to take this by credit card (with all the associated fees and issues), but then realised any amount above £15K in the UK required money laundering checks and would incur costs.

The son was based in Dubai and this caused problems. I asked the tenant if his son was a Bitcoiner (being based in Dubai, I thought he might be), which he was, so I gave the tenant a wallet address and his son is going to send me BTC.

The second incident involves a business and confidentially prevents me disclosing this interaction.
