Render their mouse useless.

Set this as their desktop wallpaper.

Tape this behind their office door. (Maybe move it around from one office to another.)

I have no idea what this is about either, but I have to say my favourite bitcoin-related april fools has been the one perpetrated by the admins of this forum with the avatars. I was quite confused as to why everybody had chosen to have bitcoin memes as their avatar. I was worried there was some secret bitcoin club I wasnt a part of that had conspired to use bitcoin only memes.

Ha, some of those are pretty funny but this one wouldn't work very well in your office as people are aware which toilet is which, but would work well in restaurants and public toilets etc.

Spamming wont get you anywhere but banned. You wont be able to have an avatar until July 7th when you'll become a Full Member because of the way activity works.

Breaking news, the UK has stated they are going to ban cryptocurrency.


UK Royal Family Secretly Buying Huge Quantities of Bitcoin (http://www.coindaily.co/2018/04/01/uk-royal-family-secretly-buying-huge-quantities-of-bitcoin/)

“Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth wishes to express her joy that His Royal Highness The Prince Of Wales has, at long last, found a way to make some filthy lucre.”

http://www.coindaily.co/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/queen-converting-gold-into-bitcoin.jpg

"After three centuries as banker to Britain’s rich and famous, from Charles Dickens to Queen Elizabeth II, Coutts, one of the world’s oldest banks, is trying to modernize. They are allegedly employing a team of agents to buy bitcoins from localbitcoin sellers around the globe. Often paying with sacks of cash, or trucks filled with gold bars."

In an official statement that he made exclusively for Crypto Insider, Mr. Dimon said “I genuinely thought that a cryptocurrency of the bankers and by the bankers was the solution that we needed to increase our institutional efficiency. However, as soon as I saw a couple of tweets from XRP Trump and Tiffany Hayden, I instantly FOMO’d and thought to myself ‘What i{f} XRP is actually the standard?’. I mean, if Bill Clinton agreed to hold a speech at their Swell Conference, then they must be up to something, right?”.

Internet is claiming that cryptocurrency is starting to go down and joiners are profiled and ready to go to jail.
Good one! lol wicked

April fools!

2541 people submitted the KYC form, but the actual data entered into the form was never even sent to bitcointalk.org, much less collected. So if you actually entered any sensitive info there, you should feel a bit silly, but don't worry about it. (Probably some people left funny comments, but regrettably these were not collected.)

The verification flairs were random.

Thanks to Mr. Big, hilariousandco, malevolent, Halab, Mitchell, and Xal0lex for contributing ideas related to this, and to everyone else for having fun with it!
Thank you theymos this year's was super fun.
