⚡️🇫🇷 NEW - He thought he would pocket €70,000 by selling Bitcoin. He left with... a suitcase full of counterfeit bills.

In Montpellier, a man decided to sell €70,000 worth of BTC and quickly found a buyer willing to pay him in cash.

The meeting was set in a hotel in the city. The buyer arrived with a suitcase full of neatly stacked bills.

The man then transferred the BTC, the transaction was validated, and everyone left.

But a few hours later, the seller opened the suitcase again to recount the money and realized that... all the bills were counterfeit.

According to a journalist from France 3 Occitanie, the fake buyers used very realistic imitations, to the point of deceiving the victim during the meeting.

The man immediately filed a complaint, and an investigation was launched for fraud and use of counterfeit currency.

Investigators are seeking to identify the group behind the trap: everything suggests that this is an organized scam, targeting individuals seeking to convert their cryptocurrencies into cash without going through official platforms.

If gold was easily divisible, instantly verifiable, had a known limited total supply, and could be sent and received globally over the internet with no middlemen, then the gold bugs might have a point.

GM, peace among worlds

Haven't posted on #31days but cheering you all on. I tweaked my lower back in a deadlift. Twas my fault, form was weak and I knew it going up. Going to rest it off

Jelly?

Dropped the magic salt on the floor, half the container gone 😭

Had a crazy day yesterday. I broke my arm in the morning, then I got back from the E.R. and I found my dog writhing in pain. I scooped him up and took him to the vet. They told me he had a brain tumor that was causing him severe nerve pain. I made the decision to put him down.

Then I got home and told the kids what happened. They cried and i held them. The whole time i just thanked God for everything that was happening that day. And I felt calm all day.

I was genuinely grateful to god for the broken arm because it could have been much worse. Thankful for the years we had with our dog.

Thankful I was able to comfort our children. It was honestly a beautiful experience.

Life is simply better when you trust God and his plan for you.

But you just use an electric razor every few days. The time to do that is still much less than the time people spend styling their hair and shampooing. Some barbers charge up to $50 too yikes

Most days I'm incredibly optimistic because of how far we’ve come and because stuff mostly works. Today I'm incredibly frustrated because a lot of stuff I care about is still incredibly broken.

When people get triggered by numbers 😂

SELF MADE PASTA WITH SELF MADE PESTO FRIDAY.

I’ll never compromise on my values

Not really. People with hair have to go to the barber every 2 weeks and then waste time and money using shampoo and conditioner. If you’re bald, you just shave it and then live your life.

Not hating on bald people. But I don’t like when people who are balding try to hold on to the past. It just looks so damn bad. I respect people who embrace being bald.

Perhaps I am experiencing large context windows where the lack of memory leads you back to explaining and framing the basics you started with. Three or four "solutions" result in errors but a little logical input from me and the solution appears. Maybe limitations.

But like the algo feeds, why wouldn't ai string you along for a few more spends if it is cheap for them to do?

I’m about to post something intellectual and captivating for an audience that prides itself on being uncapturable.

You know the game…If I try too hard, you’ll smell the effort and dismiss it. If I don’t try hard enough, you’ll scroll past. If I’m clever, you’ll call it pretentious. If I’m simple, you’ll call it shallow.

Everyone here wants to be intellectually stimulated, but admitting you were intellectually stimulated feels like admitting you weren’t already thinking that thought yourself.

So here’s my actual move….I’m not performing for you. I’m performing with you. This post is a mirror. Your reaction to it (whether you like it, zap it, boost it, ignore it, or write a 400-word reply about why I’m wrong) reveals more about your relationship with intellectual performance than anything I could say.

The hardest groups to perform for are the ones who forgot they’re still an audience.

What’s your move?

Orange Pilled Finance Guys is on a rip!

Looking up some words 🤭

Both. The culture had drifted from God’s law, and when laws just followed that corrupted culture, even strong states enforced injustice. Münster had weak authority too, but the others had functioning governments that simply reflected ungodly cultural values.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This has been tried and failed multiple times..

-Weimar Germany (1919-1933)

-Antebellum American South (1800s-1861)

-Münster Anabaptist Kingdom (1534-1535)

-Roman Republic (1st century BC)

When culture becomes the ultimate authority for law, you get no external check on cultural drift toward injustice, oppression, or self destruction. Culture can embrace terrible things and when law simply follows culture, there’s no mechanism for correction.

can we have a KO?

I found that part hilarious specially if you know the definition of that Gen Z slang 😂

I am actually highly retarded in some circles.

Not yours, though.

This was a great summary. Thanks!

Though I’m listening to the whole thing too :)

GM good people

Happy it’s Friday 🐸
