Topic: Was it my fault or not? - page 2. (Read 533 times)

I guess it is bad that you make an introduction with the bitcoin or the crypto itself because they understand how the market getting hyped with this, and they have different perspectives on it so if there are some cases that there's a chance they short in the balance of the total need to deposit or debit to their calculations there's some possible suspicious thing can accuse which is who the one who use other people more knowledgeable with the investment. I didn't tell you that you did this but we cannot remove the possibility of their perspective you open it up they remember and they make a speculation. This is the reason why not all the time we need to open up with the crypto.

OP you seem to be making up an origin story. but if it's true, it's your fault anyway. Besides, it doesn't make sense when a boss who doesn't understand how Bitcoin works can accept your suggestion to accept Bitcoin as an alternative payment in his business?
The boss's mindset will not be that easy to trust his subordinates. Maybe you can teach him, but when your boss doesn't really know how it works and the risks of using Bitcoin, I'm sure he won't just accept your advice.

Moreover, your suggestion of using a centralized exchange platform as a payment account also proves that you yourself don't really know the risks of Bitcoin. Not to mention the wrong choice of address that you mentioned, a warning before sending coins will be clearly visible on the customer's device before making a transaction. Your story is very difficult to believe.

Yep true, accepting bitcoin in a business where we are the only person who actually understand how Bitcoin works is very risky, especially if we are not the one who will take most of the risk where something bad happened. Tho OP could make the owner learn the details of how bitcoin works and he should put extra effort on that, but still if something bad happened OP is the one that will be blamed.

There is a lot of inconsistency in OP’s story and I agree with those who believe the story was made up. But on the other hand, I think there is a lesson to learn here because OP is not the only one who has tried to add bitcoin payment in his business. Others have done so in the past, and there may be members who would want to do the same. I would advise you only accept bitcoin as a payment method if only you’re the sole owner of the business and you can bear the loss if anything goes wrong. The story presented by OP may be fictional but it shows how risky it is to coerce people to invest in bitcoin.

OP from what I could understand from your story is that you introduced a new payment option for your supermarket which is Bitcoin payment and from the looks you have taught your Boss how the Bitcoin ecosystem works but from what I have read here, it seems you did not teach him properly how to spot Bitcoin wallet address and how to use it for payment because if you had done that this issue would not have emanated and secondly I was thinking if your Boss and the customer did not see any error message while inputting the wallet address and trying to send payment because that should be the next pop up response they could have seen to  make their corrections.

Lastly, as it is that you are the only one informed about Bitcoin in your work and you introduced it there it would have been nice you used the opportunity to educate other staff aside from your boss so they too could have the knowledge about Bitcoin that in your absence, they would be able to work with it instead of waiting for your return. With that you have succeeded in introducing your colleagues into Bitcoin and the awareness and adoption could have spread through that means. As it happens that you are the only one informed about Bitcoin in your organisation no one could handle such you could have told your boss to wait till you return from your break while they continue with their fiat payment as they have been doing for long.  Well it is not your fault you wanted your organisation to be ahead of others so you could gain more customers and it is not your Boss fault as he is not well taught about the Bitcoin ecosystem and you also would not blame the customer too.

As you have said, it was just a misunderstanding between all of you which needs a peaceful resolve.

That's a funny story, @OP

But we assume that it is a true story.

It seems this was a mistake by your director @OP, who incorrectly provided a USDT address instead of a BTC address. But supposedly, when the address entered into any BTC wallet is not a BTC address, it will show an error as pointed out by @Cantsay and @Hatchy.

But in this case, @OP may also be guilty of not explaining the differences between each coin, or BTC and USDT, so such a mistake occurred.

If @OP is already in jail for that mistake, it's necessary so he doesn't lie and give false stories again.

It looks to me like a made up story, first, your Boss cannot just arrest you without wanting to hear your own side of the story.
Besides the police would want to have your own statement to present as fact, but here your saying, the police officer didn't want to hear a word from you anymore and that you where just dumped into the police cell.
I feel there is more to this story.

This is not possible at all for a bitcoin is sent to a USDT address. You need to exchange it first. In your case, the fault is yours as well as the director too. When you advised him to use bitcoin payment why you did not educate him about the bitcoin. After the advice you need to explain everything about Bitcoin to him and yeah he will never do such stupidity. Also, the director did the wrong thing in that he provided the USDT address instead of BTC and to repay his loss he arrested you to recover his lost money.

So be aware for the next time I know you advised him for his betterment but see how you get arrested by suggesting Bitcoin to the wrong person. Next time you advise someone then please give him a complete guideline about the bitcoin so you will not be arrested again.

As the wise peoples says 'A little knowledge is a dangerous thing'.   

Its not buddy and he is not a good story writer as well. This forum is supposed to be a place for meaningful discussion, not some fanciful bedtime tale. I'm actually outside my apartment, and it feels like a quiet night to listen this story but I wont waste my time.

sorry but it seems to me that its just a made up story, if this story is true you might have really steal the money in the first place, like the comment earlier address will be invalid once you put it there, so its either true that you made up stories, or you did steal the coins, posting made up stories will not help you grow here since it will be attach to your name, in the forum, so the next time you post members will think twice if its true or not, so be very careful, with what you said in the forum.

They made up stories to fish merit. They think it is best and easiest to fish merit..

It’s possible that the police could pick someone up in a mass arrest situation but, it’s not always the case when you’re singled out for an arrest. You must have committed something or born out of a misunderstanding.

As initiator of idea and a more better expert on the course in your supermarket as I’ll like to presume,
It’s okay for you to instruct them to call you when confused or not take a transaction at all when you’re not readily available. They’ve been doing well with fiat and could still manage a few days of your absence from work. It’s easy to say, “our sales rep in cryptocurrency collection isn’t available” and you provide alternatives.

Either ways, I can’t blame it on anyone as you’ve rightly stated it to be an issue of misunderstanding. It ain’t your fault, neither is that of your boss. You both misunderstood each other.

This has got to be the dumbest story I've read here!

I do like this part though:


Am I the only one getting a "naughty vibe" here? 

That's because it's an obvious lie an all made up story, for me when I read the whole write it just made wonder what even gave him the inspiration to even write such nonsense. Maybe OP must have re-enforced himself and his is fully back to hunt for some merit because thats the only obvious reason someone can cook up some story like this

This story does not seem very believable. It's strange how your post is so detailed and isn't completely plagued with grammatical errors like your previous posts which barely make any sense. The part where you say Bitcoin was sent to a USDT is where your story falls apart. This would only be possible if it was an Omni Layer USDT address which Binance doesn't support and also the fees on Omni are too high to be realistically used for supermarket purchases.

Before anything else I'll like to say a big thank you to OP, for I am entertained and the interesting part is than I was entertained for free. Lol.

Op from the story as read, everything that happened  was all your fault. And I'll itemize why I said so.

1. For trying to outsmart the community with such a dumb cooked story

2. For being so eager to get merit at all cost but not doing so morally.

3. For not interested more in learning but merits etc.

It's all your fault next time put in energy to making your fiction story more real and connecting.

I have to say this, OP is a good storyteller. Maybe OP should specialise in writing fiction. I think that would suit OP perfectly well. I was wondering how on earth it is possible to send Bitcoin to usdt wallet address here. Indeed a fictitious story. On a normal when you insert a wrong wallet address on the wrong chain wallet there is always a caution sign to alert you that it is a wrong address not to talk of when the wallet address is not complete. I think OP is just a kind of teasing us here with this type of joke.

Although I still see this as a joke because in the real sense we all know how things works on the Crypto space.

I laughed so hard at this story. The story sounded suspicious at the beginning, but the lies at the end sold you away. Get knowledge first before you try to lie to people who know more than you do, so you can at least cook up a story convincing enough to lie with.

Where you seriously hoping to earn merits from your cooked up story? @OP This is a poor attempt!

Congratulations, you have successfully been added to my ignore list.

Your story is quite interesting and funny. You gave good advice to your director to accept Bitcoin as payment, and of course giving or accepting Bitcoin as payment can play a huge role in the value of Bitcoin. I think you told your director to only accept Bitcoin as payment. You didn't give him a complete guide about Bitcoin. You should have given him full information.


The woman may have asked him for a Bitcoin address to send Bitcoin to, while your director may have given her a USDT address, causing the Bitcoin to go to the wrong address. When your director didn't receive the Bitcoin, he suspected you, that you stole his Bitcoin, and his suspicion was correct, because he didn't know anything about Bitcoin. However, in this whole story, as far as I understand, the entire fault is yours, because whenever someone is told about Bitcoin, he should be given full information about the risks involved. Incomplete information can lead to similar problems.

Sorry about your wrongful incarceration, but here is what I think using an example...

Your situation was like giving someone a loaded gun and asking if it is your fault for them going on a rampage shooting at everything that moves and you do not want to be implicated in it...might not be the best example but you introduced your boss to cryptocurrencies without proper guidance especially that you are running a business and most likely very much aware that crypto transactions are irreversible.

The best approach was to start with baby steps to get the boss familiar with this ecosystem, a few YouTube videos or something to get them to know how crypto works before jumping to wallets and the alike, by now he would have known the dos and donts, but unfortunately he had to learn the hard way.
