We don't do it in Bitcoin!

[matchi2011]

LOL, bitcoin is just being stored electrinically in device or it could also be done in writing it to paper or a print of details to access the wallet. There is no need to place like gold in the rectum that so gross.

If only that guy knows about bitcoin then he can get his gold sold and buy bitcoin. It will make his life more comfortable and away from getting pain or infections from the material things that inserted to rectum. LOL

This is actually funny but I can't also get worried with that guy after he had done those things. The worst is that he was caught so sad.

Anything for the sake of money, we ain't sure if this guy knew about bitcoin since if he does for sure it will be much easier for him to sell the gold and buy bitcoin then travel out.

This news only proves that if you are more internet savvy you'll find better ways if you deal with illegal things, sad true that after being caught aside from the pain in the ass now he will suffer more inside the jail, we know what will happen after he's being convict.. but kidding aside it's really cool to learn bitcoin / crypto knowing that you have an alternative way to keep/ transfer your money much easier.

I've come across several such news in the past. This is just common in Asian countries. Most of the time gold is being smuggled into the country from North East Asian country Dubai. Different ways are being followed to smuggle gold. This doesn't have anything to be related to bitcoin. This is quite risky for health and it's a old style of smuggling.

I think it is clear that the relationship with bitcoin is impossible and obviously very different, but the actions taken are brave and it seems sometimes unthinkable why anyone would dare to do the same as smuggling heroin which obviously could be dangerous and might even lead to death. Is it because those who did it had no alternative but to do that, and in the end also died because of poverty.

[acener]

We really wouldn't do it here in crypto since we don't have to go anywhere if we want to send our crypto into another country.
I think this is also why smuggler choose to use crypto and why people thinks it is a terrorist money since we could easily send funds and avoid tax everywhere in the world.

[akram143]

It happens everywhere, and it is very normal in India. As far as I know people used to smuggle kilograms of Gold in the tablet forms or something which can fit inside our stomach.And also possible with bitcoin but we can't blame bitcoin since fiat money involved in the transaction so without converting bitcoin into fiat is is not really spendable.

[Sadlife]

One of the odd examples out there that Bitcoin doesn't need to smuggled anywhere because it's not regulated by entities or government, of course im not saying to do illegal activities but im suggesting a better and easy way. You can do it in the comforts of your home. Without sacrificing your body parts just to transfer money.

In our country, gold is only one of things that is being smuggled, but also there are other things that are of higher value like gold and they will hide it in a part of their body that you would not think that it is possible just to avoid paying feee. Well, gold have its physical form if you will compare it to bitcoin. Bitcoin is a virtual cryptocurrency so it is impossible to smuggle it inside your stomach except if you will store it in a hardware wallet and attach it to your body. But if you to think of it, no need to smuggle bitcoins because we do not pay taxes here.

[Sapphire915]

OMG! This is really something that we can only saw in some movies and yes, its usually drugs. Never thought that some people does it for Gold too. Its kinda hard for this person to carry this precious metal but I guess he has no choice but to do it for the sake of money/profits that he will be getting back when he succeeded this kind of tricks. On the other hand, we can  clearly  see the great advantage of Bitcoin nowadays with this scenario. We dont need to insert bitcoin in any parts of our body for transfer, we only need a smart gadgets, an internet connection and a secured digital wallet to send bitcoin across the globe. This is just something so accessible, reliable and more profitable.

"Plane passenger caught smuggling gold nuggets in rectum to avoid taxes." - nypost.com

Indian airport authorities literally struck gold when they spotted a man walking oddly — and discovered he had about 2 pounds in bullion shoved into his rectum, according to a report.

This is really disgusting when I first saw the headline of this news. Honestly, it's my first time to hear a news like this, since I thought I this is only happened in movies (some of in the movies are illegal drugs) or some happened in real but not gold.

Well what can happen in Drugs can be surely applicable in Gold because it is smaller in package compared to drugs.
In Columbia there are tons of cases people are swallowing drugs just to get rid of arrest even though it can cost their life if the drugs packaging broke and directly enter their body system.
So i think in Gold this can be more easy." But Not in the Rectum part,i wonder how they do that"

Recently, this news became a little trend everywhere where they compare Bitcoin with Gold on this kind of situation, we all know Bitcoin is intangible, where it is not a physical. Since when you do it on Bitcoin, you don't need some physical things to shoved in your rectum or in any of your body.

What can you say about this?

Yeah we only Need ledger Nano to bring Bitcoin all over the world,but of course depend in the availability of Bitcoin in that country.

[Xembin]

There's no way we can compared gold with bitcoin because gold is more popular than bitcoin in the world. Many investors are use to gold business over 20 years now compare to bitcoin that is just over 11 years.
Bitcoin is decentralized all over the world. And it not control by any government official in the exchange market. Many that use to bitcoin see bitcoin as the easier business if only you can follow all the protocol guiding the platform.

[Silberman]

Lol this is funny as hell first of all.  Once again we are seeing the comparison of bitcoin and gold by you and by the news you're talking about.  They are very different things that happen to have a few of the same qualities.  I honestly applaud the guy for trying.  Some of the worlds countries taxes are so god damn high and unfair, if you pay your due and then some..fuck them I have no problem with this.  I guess this is one positive over gold though if you are comparing, I'd rather sneak nothing up my butt but keep a number stored in my head lol.

This is the great advantage of bitcoin, one of the weakest aspects of gold has always been to move it from one location to another, this is in part one of the reasons why fiat currencies eventually emerged, after all moving a few coins in your pocket is not a big deal but what if you are a merchant that moves goods from one side of the world to the other? Then it is easier to move just a bunch of paper money than it is to move gold, but bitcoin is even easier to move, as you say if you have your seed words memorized then you can easily move your bitcoins from one wallet to another without having anything on you that tells you are holding any amount bitcoin.

Smuggler always do such thing for gold, drugs and any other tangible and valuable things to escape from the authority.  Of course he does it to make profit without paying tax. About Bitcoin, it can't be smuggle because you can bring it anywhere that know one knows but only you. Unlike Gold or drugs which is tangible and visible that why it's difficult to hide.

[Krislaw]

He was lucky to have escaped metal detectors and unlucky to have improvise on how he walked.
Well, you can't compare bitcoin to gold because one is physical and the other one is not. Bitcoin doesn't need any physical space and is cross border

Do this comparison still need up some serious thinking between smuggling a digital thing compared on a solid one? or does have physical form? Its no brainer on which one which one will really have an easy access to perform out in terms of smuggling.When it comes to goods then those people will really do anything even on putting up something into their rectum as long they would able to make out some money and just
to avoid some taxes to be charged on it without minding much on health conditions that might be possible in danger on doing such way of smuggling.This had been common though but
authorities are already fully aware on where these things can be possibly hidden out and once caught then you know up the charges.

Well, this is one of the major advantages bitcoin has over gold. The very fact that bitcoin isn't physical and doesn't need to be carried about gives it an edge over gold.
Yes, I know gold did have some advantages over bitcoin which is normal for any comparison between two things, the fact that bitcoin is digital give it great advantage.
Another benefit of bitcoin is that it cannot be trafficked unlike gold. I'm pretty sure a lot of bitcoins would have been siphoned and trafficked if it had been a physical asset

[shamimal93]

Bitcoin is a digital asset.  It can be easily moved from one place to another.  It does not require any physical touch to carry.  All you need is a crypto wallet on your phone or hardware.  It does not even require a third party to be exchanged.  Now let's talk about the guy who did it.  One thing I don't understand is how he put that gold bar in that sensitive place.  It was not right for him to take such a big risk just for the money.
 If he were a crypto user, he would never have to do this.  This is the difference between Bitcoin and Gold. Physical touch is required to carry gold, but no physical touch is required to carry Bitcoin.

[Debonaire217]

This is way too hard to imagine especially when I saw the image of the gold bars. It just came into my mind, is it possible that we can have a digital version of gold with real gold reserve equivalence, meaning, we will acquire the gold cryptocurrency and when we want to withdraw it, it could be in real gold from gold reserves? In that way, people will not spend more time putting the gold to their private parts just for the sake of escaping the taxes or fees they need to pay to transfer the golds.

Though, I also found the disadvantage of it. if there's a huge amount of gold withdrawal, there's a tendency that they still need to physically transfer these golds which will still incur taxes.

[imstillthebest]

rectum as in part of the body . i read it different earlier and mistaken that rectum word as a place . this guy is freakin crazy , theres other parts of the body where he can store the gold but why he chose that part.  he undergone on surgery to put the gold or he ate the gold directly and it goes on his rectum ?  moves like this happen in reality but those were lighter items like drug and injected to other body location  . if only the guy use btc instead of gold but tax is tax you cant escape it if you use btc

Oh Gosh...... under this andemic people are ..... just like

[gurjasmeetsingh]

Due to currency is based on digital transactions, l can't think this is will be frauds. Because this currency is easily transactions like moveable to one to another. If we have crypto wallet. Then why not we transaction is our crypto wallet.
