I still like the story about Bitcoin, which bypassed the world already, when in 2009 the user offered his friends to buy him 2 pizzas for 10.000 Bitcoin.  I do not remember the end of this story, whether someone brought him a pizza or not, but it really was a very smart offer.

thats indeed funny but whats funny is that your friends have also fooled you to believe on that joke  . i think the joke is a hoax . if those couple are into bitcoin and they want to buy bitcoin , they already done thier research and knew if what it is bitcoin  plus the bitcoin that is describe on the story is also plastic , if ever there will be a physical version of bitcoin , that will not be plastic but it will be the same as what we have on our local currencies  , it should be metal or paper based material   .

They then "showed" him their bitcoin. It was a plastic coin with the Bitcoin symbol on it!
This is one of the mistakes investors must learn. Before they will invest in an investment, they must do some research first before throwing their money. Poor couple they bought a plastic coin for 1000$. I laughed a bit on it but on the other side, I felt pity on them because of what happened to them.

Ok, I fail to see how it can be funny to laugh at some gullible people being scammed out of $1000. It is sad incidents like this, that are causing people to turn against Bitcoin. It also has a domino affect, because these people have friends and family and when they hear about this, they instantly label Bitcoin as a scam, without doing proper research and before you open your eyes, Bitcoin is seen as a scam by millions of people around the world.  Angry

People giving Bitcoin a bad name should be hunted down and shamed in public and they should serve some jail time for these crimes.  Angry Angry Angry

Poor couple this thread was already a year ago I hope they already know how to make money from the real crypto .
It sure is funny but if this was real they lost $1,000 because of they didn't have a proper guidance and didn't bother to know what they are buying.
But I guess we all know some people who got careless because of crypto and made some funny memories.

Poor people, but besides joke we have to understand that it can happen with our loved one as well, therefore, knowledge transformation of Bitcoin is very much important for all to make people aware about Bitcoin and altcoins to buy, sell, and trade it on various exchanges.

Okay...so I have a funny Bitcoin story for you which I heard from a friend.

A middle-aged couple bought 1 BTC for a 1000 USD recently. They were happy beyond what can be described in words at the good deal they had got. So they got in touch with my friend to ask him about how they could sell it. He sent them the links to various medium articles and blogposts on how to buy and sell bitcoin. The couple got in touch with him again and told him that they had failed to sell the bitcoin. So my friend went and met them. They then "showed" him their bitcoin. It was a plastic coin with the Bitcoin symbol on it!


There are really physical bitcoin coins or commemorative coins that is for sale out there and costs only $30. I think its made out of cheap metal and meant only for display. I dont know how much the real coins are but i kmow it exists. This story isnt funny at all and we should feel sorry for them for their lack of information. They should even checked the coin first because if it is plastic then its easy to distinguished. Its all their fault though.

You know I actually believe this story because I once had a guy tell me he found a bitcoin at the casino, I was like uhhhh? he also showed me a plastic bitcoin with no address on it lol. I kind of feel bad, I actually ended up rofling for like 30 mins before explaining to the guy that was fuck all. It was something like these https://www.amazon.com/slp/bitcoin-coins/6qqms8myr43y5h9 He 100% thought it was a real bitcoin.

Hahaha, what a sad tale, they should have just made some researches online before jumping into the river. Reason I am starting a paid class next week  in shop on how to buy and sell bitcoin and other basic security features. people must first learn to go for knowledge before the reward.

Fraudsters always take advantage of our ignorance to cheat. Perhaps the couple thought that they could buy a big profit, but the biggest profit was the money seller who printed the word BTC on it. Think about it, maybe he just bought the coins printed in BTC to celebrate LOL

So, the couple bought bitcoin and gets only a plastic card with a bitcoin symbol in it and they didn't get any other information related to the real value of their bitcoin, like a private key for example? They were fooled then. This isn't  funny tho, but pathetic.

Perhaps the influence of bitcoin is quite large, even its value is gradually more popular with people who don't know it. An interesting and funny story.

OMG, it is not so funny. This is a sad story about people’s ignorance. That is why we need to share our knowledge about Bitcoin with other guys. I am glad to meet messages from newbies on this forum. It means more persons are interested in BTC and many of them are ready to learn much about it.

there is nothing funny in this, this fraud is happening all over the world all the time, because of the lack of education of people, on the general excitement people stupidly believe scammers, without suspecting deceit.

After this story happen in all over the world because the lack of information anf education, do you think its good idea to government or merchant has group of expert which can spread education about bitcoin?
Its good idea if someone or any merchant can teach them.

I find this a little sad because it's slightly symbolic of what we live in today. Some people are buying bitcoin from the word of mouth, but they aren't informed enough to make a purchase. People who pumped in a lot of their savings at the 19,000 mark are currently kicking themselves because they didn't know enough about the market and weren't ready to face whatever volatility was coming their way. Small things like these are what can cause bitcoin to be hated by uninformed people; hopefully more people look into the coins they put their money in before they jump in.

It doesn't mean a funniest thing, but it gives me pride when I think of those incidents. When I was new to the cryptocurrency network I don't know much about it. Still I used to explain what I know to my friends. By those time, they used to make fun of me indicating the virtual presence and not having the physical state as that of our real money. Now they realized the value of the same.
