A man walks into a hotel, puts a hundred dollar bill on the counter and says “Id like to see a room, to see if it’s suitable.”

After the man goes upstairs, the hotel owner quickly takes the hundred dollar bill and goes to pay a debt to a butcher who supplies meat to his restaurant next door.

The butcher takes the hundred dollar bill to his feed supplier and gives it to him for feed for his pigs.

The feed supplier then takes the hundred dollar bill to a hooker he’s been seeing and settles his debt with her.

The hooker owes the hotel owner money for rooms she’s been renting. She immediately goes and puts the hundred dollar bill on the counter.

The man comes downstairs and tells the clerk "Thank you for taking that money. I am from the IRS. Now I have some taxes to collect."

Any significantly advanced cryptocurrency is indistinguishable from Ponzi Tulips.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, which will follow the rules of the network no matter what miners do. Even if every miner decided to create 1000 bitcoins per block, full nodes would stick to the rules and reject those blocks.
Advertised sites are not endorsed by the Bitcoin Forum. They may be unsafe, untrustworthy, or illegal in your jurisdiction.

Full disclosure before accusations of plagiarism; I did not write the story, but I added the twist at the end.

I know. That's the bit I like. The original story is full of holes.
