All right, quick disclaimer before we start.
You don't need to know Jack about the stock market, crypto,
or any of that financial wizardyto enjoy this episode.
Seriously, this isn't Wall Street, it's Reddit.
Think of it like gambling, but with cooler names and way more
regrets. Some people made millions,
(00:36):
others lost everything and are now emotionally bonded to a
Dogecoin tattoo. Before we dive into their
gloriously chaotic stories, here's a quick crash course on
the three crypto characters you're going to hear about
today. OK, very easy.
First, there's Bitcoin, seen as BTC.
(00:59):
It's the OG, the granddaddy of crypto.
Imagine digital gold but way more volatile and with a cult
following people hoarded like toilet paper in the pandemic.
I know you remember those people, or maybe you were one of
them. And there's another two we're
going to cover. Second one is Etherum, seen as
(01:21):
ETH. Sorry if I butchered the saying
of that one. This one's the brainy cousin.
Not just money, it's a platform.People build apps, games, NFTS,
and probably virtual casinos their moms don't know about.
And if they did, goodbye retirement fund.
It's like if the apps were in Monopoly, had a blockchain baby
(01:44):
And the third and last XRP, the Fast and Furious 1.
XRP is built for speed, like blink and the transactions done
type of speed. Banks low key love it, but
crypto Bros argue about it like it's pineapple on pizza.
So now that you're basically a crypto expert minus the yachts,
(02:05):
let's read some stories about people who bet it all on digital
coins and got burned, blessed, or both.
OK, first story of today, let's go ahead and get into it.
A truly inspiring Bitcoin story.And of course, the story is not
theirs. It was originally posted on
(02:26):
Twitter. We we do love a Twitter or X
whatever you want to call it. No matter how hopeless and bleak
your financial situation is, never give up.
Here's my own personal story anda peek into my past.
Let's rewind back in 2011. I was five years into a drug and
drinking problem, got a DUI, went to prison and when I got
(02:48):
out I was over $30,000 in debt do do fines, lawyer fees,
etcetera. Congrats bro.
I had to move back into my dad'shouse and the drug problem
continued. By 2013 most of my friends were
dead from drug overdoses or in prison and I was sold $25,000 in
(03:10):
debt. I mean you paid off 5K of that.
I mean I guess that's something not a lot of people can say.
I realized I was going to end updead or in prison as well if I
didn't make a change. I managed to find myself an
efficiency apt I could afford and the local fire department
was gracious enough to give me achance since my prison record
(03:30):
was only DUI related. OK I work full time and on
evenings and weekends. I went to fire school for an
entire summer till I was interior certified, helped with
fundraisers and started paying off my debt.
Being on the flip side of drugs was a sobering experience.
Most of the medical calls we ranwere fentanyl overdoses and it
was eye opening to see the devastation drugs cause the
(03:53):
immediate family members of the addicted individual.
Wow you. You wouldn't say Sir, You
wouldn't say. I witnessed more death in one
year than most people experiencein their entire lives.
That's first responders, man. Surrounding myself with a new
group of friends from the fire department and staying busy by
working and volunteering 24/7 was enough to keep me out of
trouble. By 2016 my debt was finally paid
(04:15):
off. You know, honestly kind of kind
of impressed. Like what, 2016 to 2013?
That's the hell yeah dude. Was clocking that overtime OK
and actually had several grand in savings but never thought I'd
be able to retire due to understanding how rapidly out of
control inflation was. I was looking into gold real
(04:35):
estate, you know that fun stuff,to figure out where I could
start parking my money, but nothing seemed to be the perfect
solution. The one day and early summer of
2017, I discovered Bitcoin whilewatching a documentary on the
Silk Road. I was immediately fascinated.
I studied it for a couple of weeks and finally pulled the
trigger, making my first purchases 2 weeks before the
fork wars kicked into full gear.OK, I was unsure if I made the
(05:00):
right decision at the time. My friends laughed at me and my
family was concerned I fell victim to a Ponzi scheme.
But I didn't let any criticism, you know, persuade me
differently. Then came the euphoric pump to
$20,000. I felt vindictated till the
price collapsed and I received even more mockery for not
(05:20):
selling this. Rinse and repeat happened for
another full cycle. Keep holding bro, keep holding.
But I had made-up my mind that Iwas riding my Bitcoin stack to 0
or to 1,000,000. Yep, literally just gambling
with extra steps. With each passing year my
conviction only grew stronger asmy knowledge of the topic
(05:41):
increased. Fast forward to present day and
I have a higher net worth than the average median retiree and
I'm only in my mid 30s. Congratulations.
Where's my happy? Where's my happy?
I don't have a happy clap notification.
Dang. Oh well, I'll give an updates on
congratulations on it Sir. Thanks to Bitcoin and the grace
of God, I not only have my life back on track, but I'm looking
(06:03):
at retiring a couple decades early which will allow me to
pursue my true passions. If you made it this far, I
appreciate your time and hope this can inspire even one person
who feels like their situation is hopeless.
Getting yourself out of a deep hole when the odds are stacked
against you isn't easy, but nothing is impossible and it
gets easier with each passing day.
I wish you all the best of luck in your own individual journeys
(06:25):
throughout life. Keep stacking Bitcoin and with
time you will be rewarded. TikTok next block.
OK real quick I'm a little sad for Opie.
I'm worried that if he retires early he's just going to fall
back into drugs because it sounds like his whole life
revolves around the support system of his work.
Because you have no time as a like any type of first
(06:48):
responder, you do not have time.So now you're just going to have
a bunch of free time. Wow, that's literally reminds
you of the addiction day. So I hope he has something set
up with that because yeah, yeah.Let's see if Reddit has anything
to say about that. Let's take a look at the top
comments. The first comment was negative.
(07:08):
Lol, the Internet man. Obviously that comments deleted,
I can only imagine what they hadto say about it.
Probably someone really fucking pissed that they sold that first
wave and didn't hold on another comment.
What a great story. They come back is always
stronger than the set back. Well done.
Fantastic, fantastic. So that one was about the
(07:30):
Bitcoin and we're going to do another Bitcoin story.
My accidental Bitcoin journey ended tonight.
Posted five months ago. I originally bought my first
bitcoins in 2012 while living inEurope as a means for buying
substances of ill. Someone's playing a really
(07:51):
intense video game right now. OK, At any given time I had
several of them in an online wallet.
Don't even remember where. I eventually stopped partying so
much but still had three to fourlying around by the time I moved
back to the US in 2015. I remembered that the wallet and
was shocked to see that what wasoriginally maybe $50.00 worth of
(08:11):
coins I turned into something like 1500.
I didn't understand it, but thatis when I started reading more
about it. I would talk about it with my
friends and try to convince themto buy.
I eventually built my stack up to about 7 bitcoins by late
2017. As the price soared, I kept
imagining my life as a millionaire.
When the crash happened, I forgot all about its cyclic
(08:34):
nature and panicked selling for them around the 7K mark.
OK real quick real quick, let mesee how much 1 singular Bitcoin
is worth for those that aren't balls deep into this
cryptocurrency. So basically a lot of people
sell it in fractions because youknow that's how stocks work.
(08:56):
Like if you search up stocks you'll see like a number and
like a decimal and like 2 numbers over.
So right now one Bitcoin is worth 96,669 nice and $0.35.
It went down $262.00 today and that is of May 3rd 2025.
(09:16):
Someone quick remind me in five years, OK so they sold it and
for seven K each I invested that30K and left the three remaining
bitcoins in my wallet and they stayed there for six more years.
In 2023 I sold another one for about 25,000.
Help pay for my wedding at that.That's why you don't tell your
(09:37):
wife about the Bitcoin wallet, OK?
That's why you can put them in like a little like fancy, not
even fancy, no take fancy away. Just put them in little like USB
drives and no one will. No one will think differently.
Fuck no, don't let anybody know about that.
At that point I vowed not to sell my last two until it moons.
(09:57):
Today my wife and I did something we never thought
possible. We made an offer on an
investment property. It was accepted tonight and I
sold my last two remaining bitcoins for a just a shy of 20
two $100,000 so that I had made the funds for a down payment.
Maybe I played the game horribly, brother.
Real quick. Let's do the math real quick.
(10:19):
Let's do the math real quick. This was five months ago.
Let's see. I mean, hell, I don't even need
to do the math if it's like 96,000 per one.
Like he yeah, if he got 200,000 for his last two, he I mean, he
made more than he would today. He made more.
He made about like what, 1415 K more?
(10:39):
I don't know. Oh well, maybe I played the game
horribly. Maybe I should have waited to
their $700,000 worth of Bitcoin if I stuck on my original plan
of keeping 7. I don't know.
Feels pretty good to turn a pretty small investment into a
25% down payment on a investmentproperty though.
I'll continue to occasionally buy Bitcoin after this, but I
recognize that I may never afford to ever get close to
(10:59):
owning one Bitcoin ever again, let alone multiple.
At least you're realistic bud. But I'm OK with it.
I got a debt free wedding and aninvestment property out of it.
I'm happy just a little story tosay that it's OK to use your
Bitcoin to find your life along the way, but it's likely part of
the journey as well. And real quick edit wow I'm
(11:20):
blown away by all the responses.I honestly expect it to be 80%
negative average rented experience.
So thank you to those well wishers.
I honestly get and understand the negative sentiments.
I found myself in an unbelievably lucky position and
squandered it all the way. According to naysayers and
naysayers. I haven't heard that word in a
while. I will continue to believe in
(11:40):
and buy Bitcoin. There's still plenty of time to
invest in it as a retirement option.
I wanted passive income and I satisfaction whatever that word
is, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
And another edit. OK, so the stock tanked 3 years
ago blah blah blah. Mr. Freeman, let's go ahead and
see what comments are saying real quick.
(12:02):
Top comment. Bitcoin is scarce, but what is
more scarce is your time on earth.
Congrats on keep stacking. Correct.
Absolutely. I feel like no matter how much
money you would have made selling it, you would have still
had that regret. Because what is that called?
Oh yeah, gambling. Literally.
(12:23):
And I know y'all know what I'm talking about man.
No one ever went broke taking profit.
Well then Opie and I wish you and your wife all the best for
your future. Yeah, you did a good job, bro.
You use something that was so not involved in your life to
(12:44):
come back into your life and take care of things that people
spend their whole lives trying to take care of, of dreaming of
even having the opportunity to take care of.
You did good bud. You did good.
And you don't need Reddit's validation.
But I get the guilt because it'salways 99% of the times after
you sell, it goes up. It goes up in volume, man.
(13:07):
Pisses it pisses you off. I get it, bro.
But it's OK. Another story.
People who were ultra early to Bitcoin, how did they catch on
to it? I think this is the last Bitcoin
themed one. Yeah, this is the last Bitcoin
themed 1. And of course, it might be
brought up again. This is the last one.
Imagine it's 2009. You hear about money Without
(13:32):
Borders? I think they misspelled that
wrong. Yeah.
And how it'll revolutionize the finance.
Yep, they definitely spelled it right for my audio listeners.
They spelled borders as BORSERS and Howe as HOW apostrophe L and
revolutionizes REVOLUTIONISE. Very proud.
(13:54):
I don't think the stock market is what he should be investing
in. I think it's education.
OK imagine looking at the price and it's worth fractions of a
penny. Imagine trying to understand how
to send Bitcoin from one wallet to another.
There are so many barriers to entry yet people still latched
on SO2 main questions. One, how did people hear about
(14:16):
Bitcoin so early? And two, why did they stick
around? OK for my experience I was in
like dude like 4th grade. This was like during like Owl
Owl City Fireflies would be playing like that music video.
When did that music video come out?
Let's let's look that up. Let's look that up.
(14:37):
Fireflies by Owl City 2009. Oh my gosh.
Oh yeah. It was long time ago.
And I specifically remember thatbecause at the mall, in the food
court, you would have the music video TV's and you would, you
could text to have like the nextmusic video play.
(14:59):
And my mom would like, always beso upset that we do that 'cause
it wasn't unlimited texting backthen.
It was like $0.25. I sound old.
My God. But yeah, no, you could like
text to try to get the next music video to play.
And I just specifically rememberthat because there was a The
Fireflies by Owl City, I think. Yeah, was it would play and I
(15:22):
and I yeah, I was just like, wow, this is so crazy.
Like the music video with all the lights.
How is this connected to Bitcoin?
OK, hear me out. There would be, you know, the
ATMs at the food court. There was a Bitcoin 1 and it was
new and it was in front of one of the like, main areas where
(15:44):
all the food was lined up. I don't know.
I was like, wow, what does that even mean?
And it just had the giant Bitcoin logo and it was
touchscreen. The entire thing was like mainly
touchscreen. And that was not common back
then. So that's how I heard about
Bitcoin. I was in 4th grade.
God forbid I actually bought thechocolate milk for my lunch
(16:04):
money. And I should have just saved up
my coins and figured out how to insert them into that that
Bitcoin machine. And why did they stick around?
In my opinion, money laundering.OK, let's see what the comments
have to say. Top comment.
I heard about it on Runescape. Oh man, I also worked in IT and
(16:25):
received many newsletters about this new revolutionary coin.
Thank you for spelling that right.
Then like a fool I dumped $40 into it and stored it on a
Hotmail account. RIP millions for those that
don't know Hotmail like wiped everyone's account if you
weren't like active on it like within past couple years.
(16:47):
But I'm telling you there are people that were still active on
it and they just wiped that. I'm telling you dude, I I think
that Hotmail got in trouble withsome things that they shouldn't
be emailing and sharing across and I think it was related to
that they had to erase, you know, they had a Hillary Clinton
it. But anyone Bitcoin Ballers want
to finance me a lawsuit? I'll give you 80% of the 8000
(17:08):
Bitcoin I hope to recover from breach of contract.
Holy shit, $40 was 8000 Bitcoin brother.
OK, another edit. They deleted my emails against
their own terms of service. If anyone can suggest a lawyer
that will have the balls to takeMicrosoft, I'd appreciate it.
(17:31):
It must be an old server somewhere.
Nope, bro, that shit's gone. They took that from you.
Come on. Come on, brother.
They're going to say it's unrecoverable data.
You want to know why? Because they can't return the
yachts. Yeah, they can't return all the
gold flakes that motherfucker ate with your money.
(17:53):
Another comment, I thought of Bitcoin in 2014 after reading an
article on Wired. Oh my God I loved wired.
I used to go to the my school library and get the the
magazines of it. I'd always be like wow it's so
cool. I was fascinated and intrigued
enough to buy all at the time $450 other than a few random
(18:14):
small purchases I'm holding for life.
Like others in here, I'm a true believer.
It's humanity's first fair currency.
Interesting take. Interesting take and we're going
to read one more. I was fascinated with the dark
web, reading about it, not usingit when I was quite young.
You and me both brother. That's why we're on Reddit.
(18:37):
I went to say Bitcoin was around£0.50 at this time, so maybe
about like $1.00, like one USD dollar.
This could be false, but I distinctly remember getting £20
a week pocket money. That's pocket money for you.
How young were you? You said you were quite young,
20 years. That's that's a lot of money.
Tried to buy either 20 or 40 Bitcoin, but couldn't quite work
(18:58):
out how. But fucking FIFA points instead.
What an investment. I mean, kind of reminds me of
those memes where you like you asked the the the genie asked
for like, what's your wish? And you just you're playing
video games with your cousin andhave pizza take out and the
genie's like you can still get another wish like you.
(19:21):
You had one of those moments. That's a but yeah, no, I, I
don't know that that would have been a lot of money, huh?
So I get where you're coming from.
I get where you're coming from. But then again, once you have
like a massive increase in money, you're always going to
want to go back to what you were.
(19:42):
That's all I can say. Not from my experience to where
I've like won the lottery or anything, but when you like
increase your income, you'll start noticing, wow, I can buy
this now. I've always wanted this and you
start realizing like, wait, it'sjust GTA.
But I I miss the like other games I used to play or I miss
(20:06):
like the my first car or I miss.My the old clothes I used to
wear you you feel like almost like a fraud in your own body
because of the expectation of what you think money can do then
don't get me wrong money can do a lot of things, but it doesn't
fix everything. New story.
What's the most insane crypto story you've heard?
(20:29):
Oh OK discussion. I have a programmer friend who
got paid 100 Bitcoin for a job in 2011.
That's a lot of Bitcoin. This is the biggest 1 yet.
He got a job and left his computer in storage at his mom's
house in India. Oh man, he he bopped around and
worked and kind of forgot about it.
In 2018-2019 during the first big rise, he came home from the
(20:52):
first time in seven years only to find that she threw away his
old computer away because she needed space for her vacuum and
cleaning supplies. Epson chat.
Epson chat. Not for the mom's vacuum.
You know, that vacuum was the same vacuum they've had with the
stupid ass fucking like cardboard bags that you have to
(21:14):
like somehow like connect on. My grandparents had that shit
and I never could understand to do it.
But then they were like, why didn't you vacuum bitch?
What the fuck? It was like how?
Like why is it at this point it'd be easier for me to clean
up the shit with my hands, whichI did.
I would take a fucking paper towel, get it a little God damn
damp and clean the fucking floormyself man.
(21:36):
Maybe that was only an original experience.
OK to his credit he thanks her, saying that if he had the
Bitcoin on him he would have sold early and be kicking
himself anyway. So he's not blaming her for the
millions. What's the most insane crypto
story you have? Wow that dude has probably told
himself that story a lot of times in the mirror telling him
(21:57):
it's OK. Tell him he just would have sold
it. OK bud top comments.
I think the fact that someone accidentally paid like 70
million in gas for a transactionin the pool that mined the
transaction sent the money back to the original owner.
The pool could have kept the money but they didn't.
The pool could have easily exit scammed and be financially free
(22:21):
and their descendants for life. That's called blood money now
blood money is even deeper than that.
That's that's probably like that's the pocket change for
blood money. Dude that's crazy.
OK next comment the story of theguy who tried to port his maker
CDP over to arbiturum using Oasis dot app.
(22:44):
Sorry I did not. I've never heard of arbiturum
where no such instance of mark marker exists.
Initially lost something like 60.
This is the the etherum. That's what the ETH means and
that is a lot. Well like I said, we'll get into
that one here soon. Guy post on Reddit and peeps
(23:06):
help with him with contact to the maker team.
The geniuses that maker devise away to potentially get the funds
back but say it is risky and will cost a lot of gas.
It might not work anyway. The team goes for it and not
only gets all of it back but covers the cost of gas for him
too. It just shows how close users,
devs, and project leads are and how if you have an issue you
(23:27):
should be able to easily get in touch and get help.
Damn and they included a link tothe entire story.
Engineers can have little, they can have little.
Like gangs themself. Damn.
You don't see like what some of them do just by themself.
Hell, one hacker, well he, he's an engineer.
That's like what he does. Obviously you have to like no
(23:49):
shit like that to pack shit. He took down the entire, I
forget what server it was. Oh my God, He did it all by
himself. I, I read it.
I read about it on like one of my early episodes on Reddit
radio. I can't even remember, man.
I've, I've read like over 100 since then.
But basically he was like, hey, I am willing to work with you.
(24:13):
It was like an actual governmentlike thing.
Like it was a government page. It was, yeah.
Another comment. In the early days of Bitcoin,
there was a woman that would knit and send people socks for
three Bitcoin. My friend Ken still has the
socks, which we call his $150,000 socks brother.
(24:35):
Oh, no. I hope he doesn't like do the
unforsaken in that sock. We can all only hope, but it's
Reddit's. They'll do anything with a
Little Pony container and a jar,let alone a sock.
I made $458,000 in a flash crashbuying XRP at see this this
(25:00):
amount see this amount. It's 0.00004 USD each.
Like how we were talking about earlier that bitcoins not really
typically purchase in one full go 'cause it's a lot of fucking
money. Then the exchange reversed the
trades and took my profits. Are you fucking kidding me?
(25:21):
OK, they want advice for this dude, you just cry in the
shower. I'm sorry bud.
Other than that I that that's asfar as I can go.
Just with that title, if you go on to the pairing on LA token
and scroll back to the 23rd of February bro got screenshots?
(25:43):
You go back to the 20th of February you can see the price
dropped. I had placed very low limit
orders prior to this that have since been filled.
When I logged into my account after placing these low bids on
the market a while back, I was amazed to see I had 632,151
tokens. Here's the heartbreaking bit.
I naturally was mind blown, so Itried to sell some of the XRP in
(26:07):
the account, then withdrew my profits from the exchange
elsewhere, only to have the withdrawal declined and my
account temporarily closed for one day sitting in violation of
our terms of use. Bro you got robbed.
This is why you don't use Robin Hood.
He's using a different one. I just wanted to thirst shade at
them. I have done nothing wrong and
simply set low limit orders thatwere filled.
(26:28):
I contacted support asking why this has happened.
They didn't tell me why my account was restricted or what
terms of use I had broken. Fuck no.
They're trying to figure out to spend your money bud.
After the 24 hours my account isbacked up, all the XRP is gone
and I'm left with the cryptocurrency I had originally.
I contact support again asking for my coins back.
I get vague responses not related to the issue for proof
(26:51):
of this happening. Because yes, let me click a
hyperlink that's listed on Reddit.
OK, so there's the trade. Like he actually like if I I
can't zoom in anymore because ifI zoom in anymore, it's going to
mess up my ratio of for my for my visual listeners.
But yeah, I know it shows. Yeah, it shows all those coins
(27:14):
He let man, I this is one of those times where the red arrow
actually is necessary. Appreciate you, bud.
Appreciate it. Yeah, yeah, from for My Audio
stemmers, we're looking at a screenshot, you know, like where
it has all, like the little charts and it shows like how
(27:34):
much things are worth and where the market's AT and where the
drops are AT. And it has an area where his
trades are for those. I have no idea.
I'm talking about. Think about your Amazon order.
Think about your account history.
He has a screenshot showing thathe did purchase this with the
timestamp. Yeah, and it shows the account
restriction applied e-mail. Dear user, due to violation of
(27:56):
returns of use, your account hasbeen temporarily suspended for
one day. You have been suspended for
Please refer to our terms use ofservice and it gives a link to
it. If you have any further
inquiries or funds left on the platform, please contact our
customer support team. Best regards LA Token team.
Yeah no, it just says you have been suspended for but the
colons and it's blank. Oh no dude.
(28:23):
Oh no. Yeah no you got scammed.
There's no way. There's no way that was an
accident. Not at all.
Tough comment. Read the terms of use.
Some exchanges have some weird disclaimers in case of flash
crashes. If not, demand your money and
sue if they don't comply. Another comment.
(28:44):
Save their terms page. They may try and update it.
Brilliant, I hope he did that because this comment is from
three years ago. Your first mistake was using LA
Token exchange. I'm sorry OP and they stole
$450,000 from you. Take the legal route and sue
(29:08):
them. Well I hope he did and I hope
that's why we haven't heard fromhim.
Because he got money now or now he owes even more money now
because the the lawsuit didn't work out.
Cashed out raw 4 O 1K account and put it all to XRP.
(29:28):
Call me crazy, but I'm very sureXRP will continue to outperform
normal traditional retirement accounts.
Let's keep pushing. Was that from four years ago?
No no no, this is for five months ago because I know four
years ago that I I've heard a similar story.
Edit I had this account for my former employer that I quit last
year and figured that money was going to sit in that retirement
(29:49):
account for at least over 2 decades, so I projected extra P
would do pretty well over that time period.
We'll see. Edit too, I should have been
more clear on the timing of thisand I apologize for not thinking
this through when creating the OPI.
Quit my job in June of 23 and proceeded with the Roth 4O1K
Cash out a little after that. Then I timed the market and
pushed and purchased in August 2023 at .47.
(30:14):
It's really late post, but I figured I'd share it with the
community anyway. In hindsight, it would have been
more ideal to have made this post back then, so Needless to
say, that decision has worked out favorably so far.
OK, see what Reddit has to say about this.
Boy I hope it full Suns just because I know you've got people
who think you're crazy and I want them to get awestruck and I
(30:34):
want to hear the story after quick.
Somebody remind me in four months another another comment,
you better update us another one.
I cashed out my 4OK4O1K2 let's go loan though so I pay myself
back and I wish I was young enough to take a chance like
that. Hope it works out for you.
I mean every day is another opportunity to feel young with a
(30:57):
lot of money and Wendy's is always hiring if this fails.
Good luck, dude. I no.
Oh man, oh man, oh man. We don't know yet.
We don't know yet. I hope, I hope all is well.
I truly do. Only because of specifically
(31:18):
that comment, because that, thatis a pretty clever comment.
Because you know people are going to be calling him crazy
right now. A story about my mom posted in
the XRP community. This is ridiculous.
It may offend some of you. Oh I am super excited.
I called my mom the other day and we were chatting.
She's 75. We only speak every couple of
(31:40):
months or so. Somehow crypto came up in the
conversation. She's probably watching too much
CNN. She said.
Oh I ended up doing some quite well for myself.
I had no idea which that she hadbought crypto at all and was
100% surprised and gobsmacked. I asked her what coin she had
bought and she said Ripple. For those that do not know XRP
(32:02):
is they they say Ripple owns it but in like reality like XRP was
like it has like 80% of their tokens into ripple I think don't
kill me OK? She then proceeded to tell me
she had nearly $30,000 worth of ripple.
She is not a rich lady by the way.
I said what the fuck? Apparently I told her to buy
crypto some years ago and on a whim she put a few 100 in and
(32:25):
put it all in ripple. I said why ripple?
And she said, and I shit you notbecause it had a nice sounding
name, nice sounding name. You know, you can't you can't
blame her. This reminds me of those like
Grandma's that like by those BMWs that are like those like
that, that really pretty blue. Oh my God, hold on.
(32:46):
Like I need to figure out which one that one's called.
What is that BMW? And it's like that light blue.
Oh man, I think it's the M4, butbasically it's like one of the
most expensive BMW models out there and it comes in that blue
and you always see like a reallyold lady, like just fucking
(33:09):
whipping the fuck out of it. And you know damn well she was
like, oh, I like that color. Oh man you know damn well those
car salesman are probably like fuck yes 800 credit score and
they don't even need the credit score because they just pay it
all in full. 0 research doesn't even know what crypto is.
(33:32):
I made absolute bank off of her investment.
And edit to those thinking karmafarming, please have a quick
look at my post history. I literally never post in here
and never write anything this long.
Just enjoy a funny story and be happy.
That's too much to ask of Reddit.
You know this. That's too much to ask, but I
know you had to clarify that foryour own mental clarity.
(33:56):
Take a look at the comments though, let's see what they're
saying about this. I'm the mother guys.
He's lying. He told me to go all in at $3.
The bastard. Another comment down vote for
only talking to your 75 year oldmom every couple of months or
so. That's if anything in your post
is even true. Ah, I see why he did that his
(34:16):
his edit. But no, unfortunately that is
fairly common when it comes to those people that age.
And yeah, that's awesome. That sounds like something I
would do by something because ofa cool name.
Congratulations to your mom. She sounds like a cool lady
lady. And thanks for the cool story.
So much stuff these days is depressing.
You know, to be fair, even if itis fake, they're not fucking
(34:38):
wrong. Even if it is fake, it's a happy
one. It's a happy one.
What? Why?
Why we cry baby Boo boos? Why we cry baby Boo boos?
The mom made monies or didn't make monies, either way.
Either way, we know that she's not only going to be talked to
(34:59):
every couple of months. Now, that point can be over
quite a bit. And you know damn well that's
how people do that shit. So dumb.
So dumb. OK, we're actually on our last
story. Last story.
Chinese citizens are using Etherum to record a
heartbreaking story. More than 200,000 falsely made
(35:22):
vaccines were used by newborn babies, causing permanent damage
and even death. Did they work with doctor Fauci?
Was the CDC involved with this? For those that know, they know.
OK it's a discussion. All the related news on Chinese
media has been taken down the articles on and they list like
(35:44):
WeChat, the Weibo, Southeast China post, etcetera.
By the way, this was seven yearsago.
Very important to put that in. OK, so they have two links.
It shows the transaction and it shows the report.
So if we Click to the transaction you it'll all be in
a Chinese characters. That's what we're looking at
(36:06):
right now for my audio stemmers.For my audio stemmers, I would
like to actually visually see this.
We're at like time Mark, 40 minutes, thirty, 3738 minutes
somewhere around there. I'll also have the timestamps in
the description, but we're goingto go ahead and translate that.
And by the way, by the way, for anyone that doesn't get the pop
(36:26):
up for the translation, there's a thing on Google Translate.
I'm showing it right here. You can copy and paste the
website URL and it will open up.It translated for you.
So here's it translated. A state owned vaccine company in
Northeast China quietly carried out.
Looking back many years later, people understand the meeting on
(36:47):
September 18th of that year, a biotech high tech place listed a
company welcomed 2 new shareholders and they listed two
names of them. Han is one of them.
It's Han and Du. Han bought 30% of the equity for
biotech for 13.32 million and became the second largest
(37:09):
shareholder. His joint venture would do
became a minority shareholder. So they were both the do as the
sales director. The deal went almost unnoticed.
It was two years after the immortals were put in the
spotlight. Really funny translation on that
one. At the end of 2003, GAO, the
head of Chongshun High Tech and Chongsheng Biotechnology, put 20
(37:34):
million into the company's account to privatize.
Wow to privatize it. Damn.
They privated the company after calculation GAO's bid and 2.4
per share. At that time, many bidders said
that they were willing to pay $3per share.
Like that one comment. Remember, GAO thanked them for
(37:55):
their bids and then turned them down.
This has aroused a lot of suspicion, and some people have
sent a report letter to the citygovernment about the sale of
state owned assets at a low price, but it still not did not
prevent GAO from becoming the third largest shareholder of
Chongsheng Biotech. Finally, GAO, Han and Du came
(38:15):
together, and they held most of the shares in their hands.
In 2007, Han sold Whoo these words.
In 2007, Han sold his shares to GAO, helping the latter become
the absolute controller of ChongChong Creature.
Ten years later, they already have half of China's vaccines in
(38:37):
their hands. The largest hepatitis B vaccine
company, the largest flu vaccinecompany, the second largest
chicken pox vaccine company, andthe second and 4th largest
rabies vaccine companies. God damn they monopolize in
(38:59):
health. They're trying to be like
America so bad. They produce vaccines which are
injected into you and your child's body every day.
I mean, yeah. Just when GAO was Golding the
capital market and completed thethe privating of the biotech
company, Han and Du had already gone S they were eyeing
(39:22):
Changzhou Yanshan Biotech, whichhad just obtained the rabies
vaccine production qualification.
Soon, Han Indou won 90% of the shares of Changzhou Yanshan for
20 million and recognized it into Jiangshu Yanshan with Han
as the chairman. Dude, talk about connections,
(39:44):
you just need three men and theyhave it all.
They have. Bro who Dude did all this
remotely in Canada. At this time, he had already
obtained the Canadian green card, and as long as he stayed
for a few more years, he could become the hometown of Doctor
Bethune, an old friend of the Chinese.
In less than three years, Han obtained the projection approval
(40:04):
of the influenza vaccine, the tracheitis vaccine.
And I've never seen this before in my entire life.
It's let me try to let me try itout for it looks like
fergilicious for run see sealosis.
Let me try to do that really quick for run sealosis.
(40:29):
Vaccine. Oh man, I'm laughing at like
people staying alive, but laughing at the vaccine, not the
people. It's OK, it's OK.
So Jiangshu soon became China's largest supplier of influenza
vaccines in the 4th largest rabies company.
Jesus Christ. If it were not an accidental
(40:49):
discovery, they would have landed in the capital market.
And then in 2009 d'alene, what? Who's who's delayed?
They never talked about him, butthe rabies vaccine was found to
be counterfeit and a random inspection.
Oh, OK, that matters. It doesn't matter.
Let me, let me. Does it matter that I skipped
(41:10):
over it? Hold on.
Sorry. I'm just so shocked.
I was not expecting counterfeit vaccines like you.
You're not supposed to say counterfeit and vaccine in the
same fucking sentence, especially after all that
information we just read. So in March 2009, Dalang Jin
Gong Dion rabies vaccine was found to be counterfeit and a
(41:31):
random inspection, and the Food and Drug Administration
immediately conducted a surpriseinspection of the rabies vaccine
manufacturer and Jiang Shu. Yan Shin was found to be
suspected of counterfeiting 5 batches of products.
The Food and Drug Administrationfound that Yan Shen cut corners,
cheated, evaded supervision, andthe antigen content of the
(41:53):
vaccine was lower than the national standard and could not
meet the efficiency experts fromIt's Peking.
What the hell? Peking University's Medical
Center summed up the ineffectivevaccine in 2 words.
Killing what? How?
How's that 2 words? This is where the translations
are all a little messed up, OK? However, at this time, 180,000
(42:15):
doses of the vaccine have flowedinto 107 CDCS and 21 provinces,
and all of them have been injected into patients.
Whoo. That's going to be a crazy case
study that they're doing right now.
And there's nothing we could do,no recall, no compensation.
After the case, he was sentencedto a fine of $3,000,000 for the
crime, for producing and sellingfake and shady products.
(42:38):
And the general manager and fiveemployees were sentenced.
All he got was $3,000,000. No jail, no, no bye, bye lock up
time, no public execution. Hello.
Wow. Chairman Han and another major
shareholder were unscathed. So they got away with it.
(42:58):
They, they were just like, I mean, technically they weren't
tied to it other than the fact that they were shareholders.
So, I mean, are you really supposed to know what's going on
in a company if you own it as a shareholder?
Not really. You're just an investment for
them. OK, let's see.
Let's see. It received 1.6 million orders
from the Epidemic Prevention Department.
(43:19):
Wait, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's even more bizarre is that
Jiang Shu Yan Shen quickly made a comeback, and only half a year
later, it received 1.6 million orders from the Epidemic
Prevention Department at the price of more than 100 million.
Soon after it obtained a licensefor the production of influenza
(43:40):
A vaccine. When was this written?
Because a lot of people ever speculating that COVID was
influenza A and I have no insight of when this was written
other than that this post was from 7 years ago.
I mean there was a swine flu andall that going around during
that time. That was a Obama time huh?
(44:03):
OK, Under the nose investigationteam, Du transferred all the
shares of his company that produced fake vaccines, crashed
out, cashed out, I mean valid crash out too, if we want to put
that, but cashed out $200 million and successfully
withdrew from the extension. In front of Du's eyes is a sea
of stars, and according to a personal report, in 2007, Do
(44:26):
sold his family property in China, gave up his
naturalization, returned to China with his wife and
children, and rejoined the fieldof vaccines.
Brother, who would allow you to go back to vaccines?
Excuse me, I am familiar with this industry.
This is a quote quote. I am familiar with this industry
(44:46):
and know that China's bio industry is to develop and I
feel more and more abroad that letting vaccine technology in
the hands of the Chinese themself is related to the
country's bio security. Yet foreshadow for what happened
in 2020. The apartments that got welded
fucking shut. Sorry, I'm like I got angry.
So I like slammed my chair for the apartments to get fucking
(45:11):
welded, shot with people stuck in them and caught on fire.
You care about bio security? Bio security in the sense of
population control. Damn, hold on.
Let me let me scroll because this is a long fucking like look
at this dude. Let's just read the last part.
(45:35):
Let's just read like the last two, last three.
OK, OK, what? Sell pancakes?
So someone's selling pancakes. I don't understand what these
numbers mean. By the way, the hold on, I'm
going to get the relationship done.
OK, here we go. Let's just read this one because
why the fuck did we talk about pancakes?
I told you it was going on for awhile that even the fucking
article writer got bored. In 1989, at Merck and Co
(45:58):
President Roy Brown, under the Jello's leadership, the
hepatitis B vaccine production technology was given to the
Chinese at a very low price. Preventative medicine is the
best medicine, and the best way to deal with the contagious
disease is to prevent it, he said.
And that's true. I'll never anger anger.
I'll never be angry at somebody saying that.
(46:19):
At that time, the hepatitis B hero should not have imagined
that infectious disease could beprevented, but some things could
not. Is it true that there is no rule
of law for poverty? So I guess they probably gave
those vaccines to the poor communities.
What a shocker. It's almost like how America
advertises cigarettes and poor communities.
(46:39):
Oh my gosh, wow. People just suck, man.
People just suck. They really, really, really do.
It's really unfortunate that that's going on because if that
was seven years ago, imagine what has happened since then.
And not just in China, just in China.
(47:03):
China. OK, OK.
Well, that was this episode. And remember, OK, don't take any
of this seriously. I mean, I'm literally just
talking to a mic. Well, you're probably eating
cereal in your pajamas. Financial genius.
(47:23):
Hardly. But hey, good luck out there.
You got this, go buy it and listening to Reddit radio catch
you on the next frequency.
All right, quick disclaimer before we start.
You don't need to know Jack about the stock market, crypto,
or any of that financial wizardyto enjoy this episode.
Seriously, this isn't Wall Street, it's Reddit.
Think of it like gambling, but with cooler names and way more
regrets. Some people made millions,
(00:36):
others lost everything and are now emotionally bonded to a
Dogecoin tattoo. Before we dive into their
gloriously chaotic stories, here's a quick crash course on
the three crypto characters you're going to hear about
today. OK, very easy.
First, there's Bitcoin, seen as BTC.
(00:59):
It's the OG, the granddaddy of crypto.
Imagine digital gold but way more volatile and with a cult
following people hoarded like toilet paper in the pandemic.
I know you remember those people, or maybe you were one of
them. And there's another two we're
going to cover. Second one is Etherum, seen as
(01:21):
ETH. Sorry if I butchered the saying
of that one. This one's the brainy cousin.
Not just money, it's a platform.People build apps, games, NFTS,
and probably virtual casinos their moms don't know about.
And if they did, goodbye retirement fund.
It's like if the apps were in Monopoly, had a blockchain baby
(01:44):
And the third and last XRP, the Fast and Furious 1.
XRP is built for speed, like blink and the transactions done
type of speed. Banks low key love it, but
crypto Bros argue about it like it's pineapple on pizza.
So now that you're basically a crypto expert minus the yachts,
(02:05):
let's read some stories about people who bet it all on digital
coins and got burned, blessed, or both.
OK, first story of today, let's go ahead and get into it.
A truly inspiring Bitcoin story.And of course, the story is not
theirs. It was originally posted on
(02:26):
Twitter. We we do love a Twitter or X
whatever you want to call it. No matter how hopeless and bleak
your financial situation is, never give up.
Here's my own personal story anda peek into my past.
Let's rewind back in 2011. I was five years into a drug and
drinking problem, got a DUI, went to prison and when I got
(02:48):
out I was over $30,000 in debt do do fines, lawyer fees,
etcetera. Congrats bro.
I had to move back into my dad'shouse and the drug problem
continued. By 2013 most of my friends were
dead from drug overdoses or in prison and I was sold $25,000 in
(03:10):
debt. I mean you paid off 5K of that.
I mean I guess that's something not a lot of people can say.
I realized I was going to end updead or in prison as well if I
didn't make a change. I managed to find myself an
efficiency apt I could afford and the local fire department
was gracious enough to give me achance since my prison record
(03:30):
was only DUI related. OK I work full time and on
evenings and weekends. I went to fire school for an
entire summer till I was interior certified, helped with
fundraisers and started paying off my debt.
Being on the flip side of drugs was a sobering experience.
Most of the medical calls we ranwere fentanyl overdoses and it
was eye opening to see the devastation drugs cause the
(03:53):
immediate family members of the addicted individual.
Wow you. You wouldn't say Sir, You
wouldn't say. I witnessed more death in one
year than most people experiencein their entire lives.
That's first responders, man. Surrounding myself with a new
group of friends from the fire department and staying busy by
working and volunteering 24/7 was enough to keep me out of
trouble. By 2016 my debt was finally paid
(04:15):
off. You know, honestly kind of kind
of impressed. Like what, 2016 to 2013?
That's the hell yeah dude. Was clocking that overtime OK
and actually had several grand in savings but never thought I'd
be able to retire due to understanding how rapidly out of
control inflation was. I was looking into gold real
(04:35):
estate, you know that fun stuff,to figure out where I could
start parking my money, but nothing seemed to be the perfect
solution. The one day and early summer of
2017, I discovered Bitcoin whilewatching a documentary on the
Silk Road. I was immediately fascinated.
I studied it for a couple of weeks and finally pulled the
trigger, making my first purchases 2 weeks before the
fork wars kicked into full gear.OK, I was unsure if I made the
(05:00):
right decision at the time. My friends laughed at me and my
family was concerned I fell victim to a Ponzi scheme.
But I didn't let any criticism, you know, persuade me
differently. Then came the euphoric pump to
$20,000. I felt vindictated till the
price collapsed and I received even more mockery for not
(05:20):
selling this. Rinse and repeat happened for
another full cycle. Keep holding bro, keep holding.
But I had made-up my mind that Iwas riding my Bitcoin stack to 0
or to 1,000,000. Yep, literally just gambling
with extra steps. With each passing year my
conviction only grew stronger asmy knowledge of the topic
(05:41):
increased. Fast forward to present day and
I have a higher net worth than the average median retiree and
I'm only in my mid 30s. Congratulations.
Where's my happy? Where's my happy?
I don't have a happy clap notification.
Dang. Oh well, I'll give an updates on
congratulations on it Sir. Thanks to Bitcoin and the grace
of God, I not only have my life back on track, but I'm looking
(06:03):
at retiring a couple decades early which will allow me to
pursue my true passions. If you made it this far, I
appreciate your time and hope this can inspire even one person
who feels like their situation is hopeless.
Getting yourself out of a deep hole when the odds are stacked
against you isn't easy, but nothing is impossible and it
gets easier with each passing day.
I wish you all the best of luck in your own individual journeys
(06:25):
throughout life. Keep stacking Bitcoin and with
time you will be rewarded. TikTok next block.
OK real quick I'm a little sad for Opie.
I'm worried that if he retires early he's just going to fall
back into drugs because it sounds like his whole life
revolves around the support system of his work.
Because you have no time as a like any type of first
(06:48):
responder, you do not have time.So now you're just going to have
a bunch of free time. Wow, that's literally reminds
you of the addiction day. So I hope he has something set
up with that because yeah, yeah.Let's see if Reddit has anything
to say about that. Let's take a look at the top
comments. The first comment was negative.
(07:08):
Lol, the Internet man. Obviously that comments deleted,
I can only imagine what they hadto say about it.
Probably someone really fucking pissed that they sold that first
wave and didn't hold on another comment.
What a great story. They come back is always
stronger than the set back. Well done.
Fantastic, fantastic. So that one was about the
(07:30):
Bitcoin and we're going to do another Bitcoin story.
My accidental Bitcoin journey ended tonight.
Posted five months ago. I originally bought my first
bitcoins in 2012 while living inEurope as a means for buying
substances of ill. Someone's playing a really
(07:51):
intense video game right now. OK, At any given time I had
several of them in an online wallet.
Don't even remember where. I eventually stopped partying so
much but still had three to fourlying around by the time I moved
back to the US in 2015. I remembered that the wallet and
was shocked to see that what wasoriginally maybe $50.00 worth of
(08:11):
coins I turned into something like 1500.
I didn't understand it, but thatis when I started reading more
about it. I would talk about it with my
friends and try to convince themto buy.
I eventually built my stack up to about 7 bitcoins by late
2017. As the price soared, I kept
imagining my life as a millionaire.
When the crash happened, I forgot all about its cyclic
(08:34):
nature and panicked selling for them around the 7K mark.
OK real quick real quick, let mesee how much 1 singular Bitcoin
is worth for those that aren't balls deep into this
cryptocurrency. So basically a lot of people
sell it in fractions because youknow that's how stocks work.
(08:56):
Like if you search up stocks you'll see like a number and
like a decimal and like 2 numbers over.
So right now one Bitcoin is worth 96,669 nice and $0.35.
It went down $262.00 today and that is of May 3rd 2025.
(09:16):
Someone quick remind me in five years, OK so they sold it and
for seven K each I invested that30K and left the three remaining
bitcoins in my wallet and they stayed there for six more years.
In 2023 I sold another one for about 25,000.
Help pay for my wedding at that.That's why you don't tell your
(09:37):
wife about the Bitcoin wallet, OK?
That's why you can put them in like a little like fancy, not
even fancy, no take fancy away. Just put them in little like USB
drives and no one will. No one will think differently.
Fuck no, don't let anybody know about that.
At that point I vowed not to sell my last two until it moons.
(09:57):
Today my wife and I did something we never thought
possible. We made an offer on an
investment property. It was accepted tonight and I
sold my last two remaining bitcoins for a just a shy of 20
two $100,000 so that I had made the funds for a down payment.
Maybe I played the game horribly, brother.
Real quick. Let's do the math real quick.
(10:19):
Let's do the math real quick. This was five months ago.
Let's see. I mean, hell, I don't even need
to do the math if it's like 96,000 per one.
Like he yeah, if he got 200,000 for his last two, he I mean, he
made more than he would today. He made more.
He made about like what, 1415 K more?
(10:39):
I don't know. Oh well, maybe I played the game
horribly. Maybe I should have waited to
their $700,000 worth of Bitcoin if I stuck on my original plan
of keeping 7. I don't know.
Feels pretty good to turn a pretty small investment into a
25% down payment on a investmentproperty though.
I'll continue to occasionally buy Bitcoin after this, but I
recognize that I may never afford to ever get close to
(10:59):
owning one Bitcoin ever again, let alone multiple.
At least you're realistic bud. But I'm OK with it.
I got a debt free wedding and aninvestment property out of it.
I'm happy just a little story tosay that it's OK to use your
Bitcoin to find your life along the way, but it's likely part of
the journey as well. And real quick edit wow I'm
(11:20):
blown away by all the responses.I honestly expect it to be 80%
negative average rented experience.
So thank you to those well wishers.
I honestly get and understand the negative sentiments.
I found myself in an unbelievably lucky position and
squandered it all the way. According to naysayers and
naysayers. I haven't heard that word in a
while. I will continue to believe in
(11:40):
and buy Bitcoin. There's still plenty of time to
invest in it as a retirement option.
I wanted passive income and I satisfaction whatever that word
is, and I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
And another edit. OK, so the stock tanked 3 years
ago blah blah blah. Mr. Freeman, let's go ahead and
see what comments are saying real quick.
(12:02):
Top comment. Bitcoin is scarce, but what is
more scarce is your time on earth.
Congrats on keep stacking. Correct.
Absolutely. I feel like no matter how much
money you would have made selling it, you would have still
had that regret. Because what is that called?
Oh yeah, gambling. Literally.
(12:23):
And I know y'all know what I'm talking about man.
No one ever went broke taking profit.
Well then Opie and I wish you and your wife all the best for
your future. Yeah, you did a good job, bro.
You use something that was so not involved in your life to
(12:44):
come back into your life and take care of things that people
spend their whole lives trying to take care of, of dreaming of
even having the opportunity to take care of.
You did good bud. You did good.
And you don't need Reddit's validation.
But I get the guilt because it'salways 99% of the times after
you sell, it goes up. It goes up in volume, man.
(13:07):
Pisses it pisses you off. I get it, bro.
But it's OK. Another story.
People who were ultra early to Bitcoin, how did they catch on
to it? I think this is the last Bitcoin
themed one. Yeah, this is the last Bitcoin
themed 1. And of course, it might be
brought up again. This is the last one.
Imagine it's 2009. You hear about money Without
(13:32):
Borders? I think they misspelled that
wrong. Yeah.
And how it'll revolutionize the finance.
Yep, they definitely spelled it right for my audio listeners.
They spelled borders as BORSERS and Howe as HOW apostrophe L and
revolutionizes REVOLUTIONISE. Very proud.
(13:54):
I don't think the stock market is what he should be investing
in. I think it's education.
OK imagine looking at the price and it's worth fractions of a
penny. Imagine trying to understand how
to send Bitcoin from one wallet to another.
There are so many barriers to entry yet people still latched
on SO2 main questions. One, how did people hear about
(14:16):
Bitcoin so early? And two, why did they stick
around? OK for my experience I was in
like dude like 4th grade. This was like during like Owl
Owl City Fireflies would be playing like that music video.
When did that music video come out?
Let's let's look that up. Let's look that up.
(14:37):
Fireflies by Owl City 2009. Oh my gosh.
Oh yeah. It was long time ago.
And I specifically remember thatbecause at the mall, in the food
court, you would have the music video TV's and you would, you
could text to have like the nextmusic video play.
(14:59):
And my mom would like, always beso upset that we do that 'cause
it wasn't unlimited texting backthen.
It was like $0.25. I sound old.
My God. But yeah, no, you could like
text to try to get the next music video to play.
And I just specifically rememberthat because there was a The
Fireflies by Owl City, I think. Yeah, was it would play and I
(15:22):
and I yeah, I was just like, wow, this is so crazy.
Like the music video with all the lights.
How is this connected to Bitcoin?
OK, hear me out. There would be, you know, the
ATMs at the food court. There was a Bitcoin 1 and it was
new and it was in front of one of the like, main areas where
(15:44):
all the food was lined up. I don't know.
I was like, wow, what does that even mean?
And it just had the giant Bitcoin logo and it was
touchscreen. The entire thing was like mainly
touchscreen. And that was not common back
then. So that's how I heard about
Bitcoin. I was in 4th grade.
God forbid I actually bought thechocolate milk for my lunch
(16:04):
money. And I should have just saved up
my coins and figured out how to insert them into that that
Bitcoin machine. And why did they stick around?
In my opinion, money laundering.OK, let's see what the comments
have to say. Top comment.
I heard about it on Runescape. Oh man, I also worked in IT and
(16:25):
received many newsletters about this new revolutionary coin.
Thank you for spelling that right.
Then like a fool I dumped $40 into it and stored it on a
Hotmail account. RIP millions for those that
don't know Hotmail like wiped everyone's account if you
weren't like active on it like within past couple years.
(16:47):
But I'm telling you there are people that were still active on
it and they just wiped that. I'm telling you dude, I I think
that Hotmail got in trouble withsome things that they shouldn't
be emailing and sharing across and I think it was related to
that they had to erase, you know, they had a Hillary Clinton
it. But anyone Bitcoin Ballers want
to finance me a lawsuit? I'll give you 80% of the 8000
(17:08):
Bitcoin I hope to recover from breach of contract.
Holy shit, $40 was 8000 Bitcoin brother.
OK, another edit. They deleted my emails against
their own terms of service. If anyone can suggest a lawyer
that will have the balls to takeMicrosoft, I'd appreciate it.
(17:31):
It must be an old server somewhere.
Nope, bro, that shit's gone. They took that from you.
Come on. Come on, brother.
They're going to say it's unrecoverable data.
You want to know why? Because they can't return the
yachts. Yeah, they can't return all the
gold flakes that motherfucker ate with your money.
(17:53):
Another comment, I thought of Bitcoin in 2014 after reading an
article on Wired. Oh my God I loved wired.
I used to go to the my school library and get the the
magazines of it. I'd always be like wow it's so
cool. I was fascinated and intrigued
enough to buy all at the time $450 other than a few random
(18:14):
small purchases I'm holding for life.
Like others in here, I'm a true believer.
It's humanity's first fair currency.
Interesting take. Interesting take and we're going
to read one more. I was fascinated with the dark
web, reading about it, not usingit when I was quite young.
You and me both brother. That's why we're on Reddit.
(18:37):
I went to say Bitcoin was around£0.50 at this time, so maybe
about like $1.00, like one USD dollar.
This could be false, but I distinctly remember getting £20
a week pocket money. That's pocket money for you.
How young were you? You said you were quite young,
20 years. That's that's a lot of money.
Tried to buy either 20 or 40 Bitcoin, but couldn't quite work
(18:58):
out how. But fucking FIFA points instead.
What an investment. I mean, kind of reminds me of
those memes where you like you asked the the the genie asked
for like, what's your wish? And you just you're playing
video games with your cousin andhave pizza take out and the
genie's like you can still get another wish like you.
(19:21):
You had one of those moments. That's a but yeah, no, I, I
don't know that that would have been a lot of money, huh?
So I get where you're coming from.
I get where you're coming from. But then again, once you have
like a massive increase in money, you're always going to
want to go back to what you were.
(19:42):
That's all I can say. Not from my experience to where
I've like won the lottery or anything, but when you like
increase your income, you'll start noticing, wow, I can buy
this now. I've always wanted this and you
start realizing like, wait, it'sjust GTA.
But I I miss the like other games I used to play or I miss
(20:06):
like the my first car or I miss.My the old clothes I used to
wear you you feel like almost like a fraud in your own body
because of the expectation of what you think money can do then
don't get me wrong money can do a lot of things, but it doesn't
fix everything. New story.
What's the most insane crypto story you've heard?
(20:29):
Oh OK discussion. I have a programmer friend who
got paid 100 Bitcoin for a job in 2011.
That's a lot of Bitcoin. This is the biggest 1 yet.
He got a job and left his computer in storage at his mom's
house in India. Oh man, he he bopped around and
worked and kind of forgot about it.
In 2018-2019 during the first big rise, he came home from the
(20:52):
first time in seven years only to find that she threw away his
old computer away because she needed space for her vacuum and
cleaning supplies. Epson chat.
Epson chat. Not for the mom's vacuum.
You know, that vacuum was the same vacuum they've had with the
stupid ass fucking like cardboard bags that you have to
(21:14):
like somehow like connect on. My grandparents had that shit
and I never could understand to do it.
But then they were like, why didn't you vacuum bitch?
What the fuck? It was like how?
Like why is it at this point it'd be easier for me to clean
up the shit with my hands, whichI did.
I would take a fucking paper towel, get it a little God damn
damp and clean the fucking floormyself man.
(21:36):
Maybe that was only an original experience.
OK to his credit he thanks her, saying that if he had the
Bitcoin on him he would have sold early and be kicking
himself anyway. So he's not blaming her for the
millions. What's the most insane crypto
story you have? Wow that dude has probably told
himself that story a lot of times in the mirror telling him
(21:57):
it's OK. Tell him he just would have sold
it. OK bud top comments.
I think the fact that someone accidentally paid like 70
million in gas for a transactionin the pool that mined the
transaction sent the money back to the original owner.
The pool could have kept the money but they didn't.
The pool could have easily exit scammed and be financially free
(22:21):
and their descendants for life. That's called blood money now
blood money is even deeper than that.
That's that's probably like that's the pocket change for
blood money. Dude that's crazy.
OK next comment the story of theguy who tried to port his maker
CDP over to arbiturum using Oasis dot app.
(22:44):
Sorry I did not. I've never heard of arbiturum
where no such instance of mark marker exists.
Initially lost something like 60.
This is the the etherum. That's what the ETH means and
that is a lot. Well like I said, we'll get into
that one here soon. Guy post on Reddit and peeps
(23:06):
help with him with contact to the maker team.
The geniuses that maker devise away to potentially get the funds
back but say it is risky and will cost a lot of gas.
It might not work anyway. The team goes for it and not
only gets all of it back but covers the cost of gas for him
too. It just shows how close users,
devs, and project leads are and how if you have an issue you
(23:27):
should be able to easily get in touch and get help.
Damn and they included a link tothe entire story.
Engineers can have little, they can have little.
Like gangs themself. Damn.
You don't see like what some of them do just by themself.
Hell, one hacker, well he, he's an engineer.
That's like what he does. Obviously you have to like no
(23:49):
shit like that to pack shit. He took down the entire, I
forget what server it was. Oh my God, He did it all by
himself. I, I read it.
I read about it on like one of my early episodes on Reddit
radio. I can't even remember, man.
I've, I've read like over 100 since then.
But basically he was like, hey, I am willing to work with you.
(24:13):
It was like an actual governmentlike thing.
Like it was a government page. It was, yeah.
Another comment. In the early days of Bitcoin,
there was a woman that would knit and send people socks for
three Bitcoin. My friend Ken still has the
socks, which we call his $150,000 socks brother.
(24:35):
Oh, no. I hope he doesn't like do the
unforsaken in that sock. We can all only hope, but it's
Reddit's. They'll do anything with a
Little Pony container and a jar,let alone a sock.
I made $458,000 in a flash crashbuying XRP at see this this
(25:00):
amount see this amount. It's 0.00004 USD each.
Like how we were talking about earlier that bitcoins not really
typically purchase in one full go 'cause it's a lot of fucking
money. Then the exchange reversed the
trades and took my profits. Are you fucking kidding me?
(25:21):
OK, they want advice for this dude, you just cry in the
shower. I'm sorry bud.
Other than that I that that's asfar as I can go.
Just with that title, if you go on to the pairing on LA token
and scroll back to the 23rd of February bro got screenshots?
(25:43):
You go back to the 20th of February you can see the price
dropped. I had placed very low limit
orders prior to this that have since been filled.
When I logged into my account after placing these low bids on
the market a while back, I was amazed to see I had 632,151
tokens. Here's the heartbreaking bit.
I naturally was mind blown, so Itried to sell some of the XRP in
(26:07):
the account, then withdrew my profits from the exchange
elsewhere, only to have the withdrawal declined and my
account temporarily closed for one day sitting in violation of
our terms of use. Bro you got robbed.
This is why you don't use Robin Hood.
He's using a different one. I just wanted to thirst shade at
them. I have done nothing wrong and
simply set low limit orders thatwere filled.
(26:28):
I contacted support asking why this has happened.
They didn't tell me why my account was restricted or what
terms of use I had broken. Fuck no.
They're trying to figure out to spend your money bud.
After the 24 hours my account isbacked up, all the XRP is gone
and I'm left with the cryptocurrency I had originally.
I contact support again asking for my coins back.
I get vague responses not related to the issue for proof
(26:51):
of this happening. Because yes, let me click a
hyperlink that's listed on Reddit.
OK, so there's the trade. Like he actually like if I I
can't zoom in anymore because ifI zoom in anymore, it's going to
mess up my ratio of for my for my visual listeners.
But yeah, I know it shows. Yeah, it shows all those coins
(27:14):
He let man, I this is one of those times where the red arrow
actually is necessary. Appreciate you, bud.
Appreciate it. Yeah, yeah, from for My Audio
stemmers, we're looking at a screenshot, you know, like where
it has all, like the little charts and it shows like how
(27:34):
much things are worth and where the market's AT and where the
drops are AT. And it has an area where his
trades are for those. I have no idea.
I'm talking about. Think about your Amazon order.
Think about your account history.
He has a screenshot showing thathe did purchase this with the
timestamp. Yeah, and it shows the account
restriction applied e-mail. Dear user, due to violation of
(27:56):
returns of use, your account hasbeen temporarily suspended for
one day. You have been suspended for
Please refer to our terms use ofservice and it gives a link to
it. If you have any further
inquiries or funds left on the platform, please contact our
customer support team. Best regards LA Token team.
Yeah no, it just says you have been suspended for but the
colons and it's blank. Oh no dude.
(28:23):
Oh no. Yeah no you got scammed.
There's no way. There's no way that was an
accident. Not at all.
Tough comment. Read the terms of use.
Some exchanges have some weird disclaimers in case of flash
crashes. If not, demand your money and
sue if they don't comply. Another comment.
(28:44):
Save their terms page. They may try and update it.
Brilliant, I hope he did that because this comment is from
three years ago. Your first mistake was using LA
Token exchange. I'm sorry OP and they stole
$450,000 from you. Take the legal route and sue
(29:08):
them. Well I hope he did and I hope
that's why we haven't heard fromhim.
Because he got money now or now he owes even more money now
because the the lawsuit didn't work out.
Cashed out raw 4 O 1K account and put it all to XRP.
(29:28):
Call me crazy, but I'm very sureXRP will continue to outperform
normal traditional retirement accounts.
Let's keep pushing. Was that from four years ago?
No no no, this is for five months ago because I know four
years ago that I I've heard a similar story.
Edit I had this account for my former employer that I quit last
year and figured that money was going to sit in that retirement
(29:49):
account for at least over 2 decades, so I projected extra P
would do pretty well over that time period.
We'll see. Edit too, I should have been
more clear on the timing of thisand I apologize for not thinking
this through when creating the OPI.
Quit my job in June of 23 and proceeded with the Roth 4O1K
Cash out a little after that. Then I timed the market and
pushed and purchased in August 2023 at .47.
(30:14):
It's really late post, but I figured I'd share it with the
community anyway. In hindsight, it would have been
more ideal to have made this post back then, so Needless to
say, that decision has worked out favorably so far.
OK, see what Reddit has to say about this.
Boy I hope it full Suns just because I know you've got people
who think you're crazy and I want them to get awestruck and I
(30:34):
want to hear the story after quick.
Somebody remind me in four months another another comment,
you better update us another one.
I cashed out my 4OK4O1K2 let's go loan though so I pay myself
back and I wish I was young enough to take a chance like
that. Hope it works out for you.
I mean every day is another opportunity to feel young with a
(30:57):
lot of money and Wendy's is always hiring if this fails.
Good luck, dude. I no.
Oh man, oh man, oh man. We don't know yet.
We don't know yet. I hope, I hope all is well.
I truly do. Only because of specifically
(31:18):
that comment, because that, thatis a pretty clever comment.
Because you know people are going to be calling him crazy
right now. A story about my mom posted in
the XRP community. This is ridiculous.
It may offend some of you. Oh I am super excited.
I called my mom the other day and we were chatting.
She's 75. We only speak every couple of
(31:40):
months or so. Somehow crypto came up in the
conversation. She's probably watching too much
CNN. She said.
Oh I ended up doing some quite well for myself.
I had no idea which that she hadbought crypto at all and was
100% surprised and gobsmacked. I asked her what coin she had
bought and she said Ripple. For those that do not know XRP
(32:02):
is they they say Ripple owns it but in like reality like XRP was
like it has like 80% of their tokens into ripple I think don't
kill me OK? She then proceeded to tell me
she had nearly $30,000 worth of ripple.
She is not a rich lady by the way.
I said what the fuck? Apparently I told her to buy
crypto some years ago and on a whim she put a few 100 in and
(32:25):
put it all in ripple. I said why ripple?
And she said, and I shit you notbecause it had a nice sounding
name, nice sounding name. You know, you can't you can't
blame her. This reminds me of those like
Grandma's that like by those BMWs that are like those like
that, that really pretty blue. Oh my God, hold on.
(32:46):
Like I need to figure out which one that one's called.
What is that BMW? And it's like that light blue.
Oh man, I think it's the M4, butbasically it's like one of the
most expensive BMW models out there and it comes in that blue
and you always see like a reallyold lady, like just fucking
(33:09):
whipping the fuck out of it. And you know damn well she was
like, oh, I like that color. Oh man you know damn well those
car salesman are probably like fuck yes 800 credit score and
they don't even need the credit score because they just pay it
all in full. 0 research doesn't even know what crypto is.
(33:32):
I made absolute bank off of her investment.
And edit to those thinking karmafarming, please have a quick
look at my post history. I literally never post in here
and never write anything this long.
Just enjoy a funny story and be happy.
That's too much to ask of Reddit.
You know this. That's too much to ask, but I
know you had to clarify that foryour own mental clarity.
(33:56):
Take a look at the comments though, let's see what they're
saying about this. I'm the mother guys.
He's lying. He told me to go all in at $3.
The bastard. Another comment down vote for
only talking to your 75 year oldmom every couple of months or
so. That's if anything in your post
is even true. Ah, I see why he did that his
(34:16):
his edit. But no, unfortunately that is
fairly common when it comes to those people that age.
And yeah, that's awesome. That sounds like something I
would do by something because ofa cool name.
Congratulations to your mom. She sounds like a cool lady
lady. And thanks for the cool story.
So much stuff these days is depressing.
You know, to be fair, even if itis fake, they're not fucking
(34:38):
wrong. Even if it is fake, it's a happy
one. It's a happy one.
What? Why?
Why we cry baby Boo boos? Why we cry baby Boo boos?
The mom made monies or didn't make monies, either way.
Either way, we know that she's not only going to be talked to
(34:59):
every couple of months. Now, that point can be over
quite a bit. And you know damn well that's
how people do that shit. So dumb.
So dumb. OK, we're actually on our last
story. Last story.
Chinese citizens are using Etherum to record a
heartbreaking story. More than 200,000 falsely made
(35:22):
vaccines were used by newborn babies, causing permanent damage
and even death. Did they work with doctor Fauci?
Was the CDC involved with this? For those that know, they know.
OK it's a discussion. All the related news on Chinese
media has been taken down the articles on and they list like
(35:44):
WeChat, the Weibo, Southeast China post, etcetera.
By the way, this was seven yearsago.
Very important to put that in. OK, so they have two links.
It shows the transaction and it shows the report.
So if we Click to the transaction you it'll all be in
a Chinese characters. That's what we're looking at
(36:06):
right now for my audio stemmers.For my audio stemmers, I would
like to actually visually see this.
We're at like time Mark, 40 minutes, thirty, 3738 minutes
somewhere around there. I'll also have the timestamps in
the description, but we're goingto go ahead and translate that.
And by the way, by the way, for anyone that doesn't get the pop
(36:26):
up for the translation, there's a thing on Google Translate.
I'm showing it right here. You can copy and paste the
website URL and it will open up.It translated for you.
So here's it translated. A state owned vaccine company in
Northeast China quietly carried out.
Looking back many years later, people understand the meeting on
(36:47):
September 18th of that year, a biotech high tech place listed a
company welcomed 2 new shareholders and they listed two
names of them. Han is one of them.
It's Han and Du. Han bought 30% of the equity for
biotech for 13.32 million and became the second largest
(37:09):
shareholder. His joint venture would do
became a minority shareholder. So they were both the do as the
sales director. The deal went almost unnoticed.
It was two years after the immortals were put in the
spotlight. Really funny translation on that
one. At the end of 2003, GAO, the
head of Chongshun High Tech and Chongsheng Biotechnology, put 20
(37:34):
million into the company's account to privatize.
Wow to privatize it. Damn.
They privated the company after calculation GAO's bid and 2.4
per share. At that time, many bidders said
that they were willing to pay $3per share.
Like that one comment. Remember, GAO thanked them for
(37:55):
their bids and then turned them down.
This has aroused a lot of suspicion, and some people have
sent a report letter to the citygovernment about the sale of
state owned assets at a low price, but it still not did not
prevent GAO from becoming the third largest shareholder of
Chongsheng Biotech. Finally, GAO, Han and Du came
(38:15):
together, and they held most of the shares in their hands.
In 2007, Han sold Whoo these words.
In 2007, Han sold his shares to GAO, helping the latter become
the absolute controller of ChongChong Creature.
Ten years later, they already have half of China's vaccines in
(38:37):
their hands. The largest hepatitis B vaccine
company, the largest flu vaccinecompany, the second largest
chicken pox vaccine company, andthe second and 4th largest
rabies vaccine companies. God damn they monopolize in
(38:59):
health. They're trying to be like
America so bad. They produce vaccines which are
injected into you and your child's body every day.
I mean, yeah. Just when GAO was Golding the
capital market and completed thethe privating of the biotech
company, Han and Du had already gone S they were eyeing
(39:22):
Changzhou Yanshan Biotech, whichhad just obtained the rabies
vaccine production qualification.
Soon, Han Indou won 90% of the shares of Changzhou Yanshan for
20 million and recognized it into Jiangshu Yanshan with Han
as the chairman. Dude, talk about connections,
(39:44):
you just need three men and theyhave it all.
They have. Bro who Dude did all this
remotely in Canada. At this time, he had already
obtained the Canadian green card, and as long as he stayed
for a few more years, he could become the hometown of Doctor
Bethune, an old friend of the Chinese.
In less than three years, Han obtained the projection approval
(40:04):
of the influenza vaccine, the tracheitis vaccine.
And I've never seen this before in my entire life.
It's let me try to let me try itout for it looks like
fergilicious for run see sealosis.
Let me try to do that really quick for run sealosis.
(40:29):
Vaccine. Oh man, I'm laughing at like
people staying alive, but laughing at the vaccine, not the
people. It's OK, it's OK.
So Jiangshu soon became China's largest supplier of influenza
vaccines in the 4th largest rabies company.
Jesus Christ. If it were not an accidental
(40:49):
discovery, they would have landed in the capital market.
And then in 2009 d'alene, what? Who's who's delayed?
They never talked about him, butthe rabies vaccine was found to
be counterfeit and a random inspection.
Oh, OK, that matters. It doesn't matter.
Let me, let me. Does it matter that I skipped
(41:10):
over it? Hold on.
Sorry. I'm just so shocked.
I was not expecting counterfeit vaccines like you.
You're not supposed to say counterfeit and vaccine in the
same fucking sentence, especially after all that
information we just read. So in March 2009, Dalang Jin
Gong Dion rabies vaccine was found to be counterfeit and a
(41:31):
random inspection, and the Food and Drug Administration
immediately conducted a surpriseinspection of the rabies vaccine
manufacturer and Jiang Shu. Yan Shin was found to be
suspected of counterfeiting 5 batches of products.
The Food and Drug Administrationfound that Yan Shen cut corners,
cheated, evaded supervision, andthe antigen content of the
(41:53):
vaccine was lower than the national standard and could not
meet the efficiency experts fromIt's Peking.
What the hell? Peking University's Medical
Center summed up the ineffectivevaccine in 2 words.
Killing what? How?
How's that 2 words? This is where the translations
are all a little messed up, OK? However, at this time, 180,000
(42:15):
doses of the vaccine have flowedinto 107 CDCS and 21 provinces,
and all of them have been injected into patients.
Whoo. That's going to be a crazy case
study that they're doing right now.
And there's nothing we could do,no recall, no compensation.
After the case, he was sentencedto a fine of $3,000,000 for the
crime, for producing and sellingfake and shady products.
(42:38):
And the general manager and fiveemployees were sentenced.
All he got was $3,000,000. No jail, no, no bye, bye lock up
time, no public execution. Hello.
Wow. Chairman Han and another major
shareholder were unscathed. So they got away with it.
(42:58):
They, they were just like, I mean, technically they weren't
tied to it other than the fact that they were shareholders.
So, I mean, are you really supposed to know what's going on
in a company if you own it as a shareholder?
Not really. You're just an investment for
them. OK, let's see.
Let's see. It received 1.6 million orders
from the Epidemic Prevention Department.
(43:19):
Wait, Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's even more bizarre is that
Jiang Shu Yan Shen quickly made a comeback, and only half a year
later, it received 1.6 million orders from the Epidemic
Prevention Department at the price of more than 100 million.
Soon after it obtained a licensefor the production of influenza
(43:40):
A vaccine. When was this written?
Because a lot of people ever speculating that COVID was
influenza A and I have no insight of when this was written
other than that this post was from 7 years ago.
I mean there was a swine flu andall that going around during
that time. That was a Obama time huh?
(44:03):
OK, Under the nose investigationteam, Du transferred all the
shares of his company that produced fake vaccines, crashed
out, cashed out, I mean valid crash out too, if we want to put
that, but cashed out $200 million and successfully
withdrew from the extension. In front of Du's eyes is a sea
of stars, and according to a personal report, in 2007, Do
(44:26):
sold his family property in China, gave up his
naturalization, returned to China with his wife and
children, and rejoined the fieldof vaccines.
Brother, who would allow you to go back to vaccines?
Excuse me, I am familiar with this industry.
This is a quote quote. I am familiar with this industry
(44:46):
and know that China's bio industry is to develop and I
feel more and more abroad that letting vaccine technology in
the hands of the Chinese themself is related to the
country's bio security. Yet foreshadow for what happened
in 2020. The apartments that got welded
fucking shut. Sorry, I'm like I got angry.
So I like slammed my chair for the apartments to get fucking
(45:11):
welded, shot with people stuck in them and caught on fire.
You care about bio security? Bio security in the sense of
population control. Damn, hold on.
Let me let me scroll because this is a long fucking like look
at this dude. Let's just read the last part.
(45:35):
Let's just read like the last two, last three.
OK, OK, what? Sell pancakes?
So someone's selling pancakes. I don't understand what these
numbers mean. By the way, the hold on, I'm
going to get the relationship done.
OK, here we go. Let's just read this one because
why the fuck did we talk about pancakes?
I told you it was going on for awhile that even the fucking
article writer got bored. In 1989, at Merck and Co
(45:58):
President Roy Brown, under the Jello's leadership, the
hepatitis B vaccine production technology was given to the
Chinese at a very low price. Preventative medicine is the
best medicine, and the best way to deal with the contagious
disease is to prevent it, he said.
And that's true. I'll never anger anger.
I'll never be angry at somebody saying that.
(46:19):
At that time, the hepatitis B hero should not have imagined
that infectious disease could beprevented, but some things could
not. Is it true that there is no rule
of law for poverty? So I guess they probably gave
those vaccines to the poor communities.
What a shocker. It's almost like how America
advertises cigarettes and poor communities.
(46:39):
Oh my gosh, wow. People just suck, man.
People just suck. They really, really, really do.
It's really unfortunate that that's going on because if that
was seven years ago, imagine what has happened since then.
And not just in China, just in China.
(47:03):
China. OK, OK.
Well, that was this episode. And remember, OK, don't take any
of this seriously. I mean, I'm literally just
talking to a mic. Well, you're probably eating
cereal in your pajamas. Financial genius.
(47:23):
Hardly. But hey, good luck out there.
You got this, go buy it and listening to Reddit radio catch
you on the next frequency.
