LOL, it is funny. This is why we need to have a wide research on what we are investing to. We have an acronym saying DYOR, meaning Do Your Own Research. They should've researched first about bitcoin in order for them to not be tricked or not got dwell by their own emotions.
These kind of stories are funny to hear but, my suggestion is that. If we heard something like this or a friend is asking for help in crypto, don't lead them to a way for them to fall. Teach them the way to got up.
Topic: Funniest Bitcoin story ever! - page 3. (Read 7701 times)
stupid people investing in bitcoin, making the wrong speculation, selling low in panic and saying BITCOIN IS BAD - the funniest for me.
Your friend is cheating on the other couple with a huge amount of money, I do not think it's a joke but it is a serious scam as he is taking advantage of those who do not have bitcoin knowledge to cheating on them. I know quite a few of these cases when investors are unaware of bitcoin and they only invest in referrals, which is very dangerous, so learn it thoroughly before making a decision.
I have not seen their coin, but my friend has, and he tells me it is a collectible. The thing is, that the couple only got in touch with my friend after they "faced trouble selling the Bitcoin". They're the kind of rich, snooty couple who would've bragged about their "achievement" at some party had they managed to sell it off successfully.
i don't think this was a funny story. sad to read that people got scammed. yes, its better to check before investing in something, but this people get scammed and this is not funny for me. sorry to say it.
hmm. there are physical bitcoins out there, I don't know if there are any plastic ones, but it is practically a simple object with bitcoin logo on it which also actually contains bitcoin with the public key and private key and everything.
is your friend sure that it was not just an ugly collectible?

Maybe it had a QR code on it that will let you transact your bitcoin, Because yes there are physical bitcoin hovering the market place that lets us store amount of bitcoin that has a QR code so you can scan and transfer your digital bitcoin, And I don't really think that the story is funny, scammers often used uneducated people that don't have any idea about bitcoin and use it to their advantage, Even if the story is untrue it is still not funny to use your knowledge about bitcoin in taking advantage to someone that are not.
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!
I see nothing funny in this story. Elderly people find it very difficult to keep up with the changes in the modern world. They are like children. Scammers took advantage of this and tricked them. What's so funny? If their place were your parents or grandparents you laughed too ? Maybe it was all of their savings. Never laugh at someone else's grief.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.

I'm sorry but I'm not feeling sorry for laughing at them. The couple's not elderly first of all. They are well-versed with computers, at least they know Facebook and Snapchat. They socialize in circles where people have a lot of money and have invested in Bitcoin. My point is, that before jumping into anything at all, and especially something as complex as Bitcoin, blockchain and other cryptocurrencies, you must do your research thoroughly.

oh.. Is that so? But how do you know that the coins are valid? And where do you get these physical coins from?
And I'm not sure if it was the kind of coin you are talking about... It's the first time I have heard of such a thing.
I haven't really paid much attention to physical coins and there are different types of them each doing something different. for example there was one guy who produced physical coins like a capsule with a shining red thing in the middle, you had to create a private key yourself, then encrypt it and send him the encrypted private key so he could etch it at the bottom of the capsule and then seal it for shipping.
Casascius is another type of it: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Casascius_physical_bitcoins
you can also find out more about physical coins which are basically collectibles in their respective board on bitcointalk: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=217.0
how sad they feel after knowing the coin they buy is a plastic coin, and this can make a lesson for us to be more careful, and hopefully it does not happen again.
This is the reason why emphasis should be laid on learning about bitcoin and the blockchain technology before we decide on investing or engage in ways of earning some for free but what we see today is the constant propagation of ways one can grow post counts in order to enroll in a signature campaign without knowing the very basics of this technology. It's sad they got cheated but i guess they've learned about bitcoin the hard way and will be pointed in the right direction hereafter.

Well, I get your point there. But it's funny to me because so many people around me are so blinded by the prospects of making money from Bitcoin that they are jumping into it without any research at all. They could have asked someone who knew about Bitcoin before deciding to buy the plastic coin. And it's not that they aren't literate or something. They probably just bought it because they had heard about it from their friends without doing any prior research about it.

This is sad and not even one bit of it is friendly, how can you even get happiness by posting this story out here. It is never funny to be scammed and i feel your friend and you instead of mocking them down, help them find the guy who conned them and help them recover and had that been the story i would have given you a merit, have some decency and help them.
So you never heard of physical coins that explains a lot, it could be a real coin, go to collectible section look for a reputable guy to help you recover for them

Have you ever asked me if it should start with Bitcoin? I said that if you can afford to join it, it's fun to say this, everyone has to have a personal experience for themselves to get into a new life, of course, that Bitcoin will change. Life is better for the followers of Bitcoin It was funny ever...

Well, in Russia there was a case when a man at the train station for the big money bought a beautiful coin with the symbols of Bitcoin. It's even discussed in the news.
Meaning that middle-aged man is wrong in buying bitcoin, and happiness that leads to sadness, and it's a lesson for us to be more careful in purchasing crypto.
funniest story or crazy story is about hungry developer who bought two pizzas with 10,000 coins (back then it was little known digital currency) now you guess right it was 10,000 bitcoins. all this happened in 2010. those 10,000 coins were worth 40$ at that time. You can just imagine his feelings and thoughts when he saw 19,800$ value by the end of 2017.
Yeah! I guess that's the first time that Bitcoin was used for purchasing something. I wonder what those pizza guys are doing now and if they have any bitcoins or not! And the hungry developer! He must be feeling so shitty today.

Dont worry for Laszlo Hanyecz,he was one of the first miners and he sold and hodls a lot more than 10000 btc. And he does understand that his first purchase is a part of history now and the value of his current stash is higher thanks to him.Maybe if he didnt made that first purchase who knows what would history look like.....
