today I found out that someone that had been taking care of my mom had been stealing most of the sats I had been sending her (which are not little zaps but rather the money she uses to pay for things)

another reminder of how much brutal inflation (Argentina) erodes all moral frameworks and drives a lot of normal people into behaving like mercenaries

En Venezuela pasa exactamente lo mismo, mientras más se destruye la economía los incentivos para la maldad se disparan.

what’s their name? we just wanna chat

hahaha, I have his full name and address from when he sent bank transfers to his account from my mom's bitcoin exchange

💀

😤

Sorry to hear that. That is a rotten thing to do.

That's true. Brazil is going down the same path. Hyperinflation is gonna make this shithole even more degrading.

Stack sats.

the crazy thing is that our countries are structurally more used to these situations

for US/Europe hyperinflation will be a new experience and they will probably think that prices going up is the worst part of hyperinflation when it's actually the least concerning aspect of it

I worked with many LATAM countries, Venezuela, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, and others. I got the Venezuelan and Argentinian ciworkers on Bitcoin early which saved them a lot of grief. When I tell people here is the US that price inflation is a small part of the misery they are experiencing from monetary inflation they think I'm talking crazy talk. Either the gaslighting is very thorough and they can't escape the matrix or my explanation goes way over their heads and I need to do better.

You're right. Inflation is like our long term buddy.

I hope you can find someone better next time

Argh that sucks. Sorry man

I Venezuelan and sadly

this shit is incredibly common. I can imagine going back to the country and not wanting to kill that person

I'm*

Saddest part I forgot yo mention is that a huge amount of times this people are your own family...

On another note. Caretakers stealing from the elderly is not unique to times of inflation. There are a lot of trash people out there.

I am sympathetic to the destruction from hyperinflation but that is outrageously scumbag behavior

just caretaker stuff around the world unfortunately 😭

Ouch! Sorry man

☹️☹️☹️

Ugh, I'm sorry that happened. No sabia que eres Argentino. Hopefully things improve under Milei.

Siento mucho esa traición, sobre todo con una persona vulnerable.

¡ No pierdas la fé en la humanidad ! Eso nos mueve hacia adelante...( y a ti ). Un abrazo.

yikes

when money dies..

Indeed

jeez, sorry to hear that man

very stupid take, inflation doesn't make thiefs

it absolutely does

oh ye, keep repeating it, then it might get true

Some People forget inflation is also a societal problem and not just monetary. When pricing mechanisms breakdown, the worst nature of humans show up in order to survive. Any lack of regard for one's fellow neighbor is discarded. Greed and selfishness automatically kicks in.

That’s awful! So sorry to hear that!

Oof sorry to hear that Pablo

That’s just awful, sorry to hear.

The things people will do these days is just unacceptable.

That’s really terrible. My mom asks me repeatedly not to let anyone know and continue stacking. She also reminds me it is accepted everywhere when I get defeated
