I hope they find the money.

You go investing wise if it's about money. Tell you man we pour our money in to that shit to avoid parking tickets.

Imagine a stupid worker that can't find a parking lot for his needs. Plus a laundry day at home is cheaper than going to work.



I think the issue is clearly not about a sign saying that cryptocurrency payments are accepted, but about the overall nature of the business. If scammers see that the business is doing well and the owner is openly showcasing a luxurious lifestyle, then it doesn’t really matter what the sign says, just having that sign doesn’t mean the person is receiving large amounts of cryptocurrency. I believe that if you can offer crypto as a payment option, you should present it simply as an additional service for customer convenience, not as an indicator of wealth or high income.


I make 5 dollars per day on tron dividends? Checking. It's closer to 10.

We don't have any real criminals around since Ponzi. We have the shop tho.

I wonder why Charles makes a target of him self with his mac donalds shirt. Reminds me i got some burger boost left. It's ehh from the "we use the whole animal" sentence. Cheers!

Means you get a ticket free of charge. Tell you man. I ran of with 78k after one snipped 18k from me. You get better according to timeline on this one.

Steep or slope. The criminals that got mentally deleted from your attack learned a thing or two. Some shit steals intellectual property.

Who guards the basket? Donald.. He make a war criminal feel at home. Terrible person compared to the union. Speak the language dude.

I wait for maga to buy their stupid coins back. Tron is "chinese". Dude! Cheers! The whole debt aspect.

You see how Midnight dust copies Tron energy. You don't want to dress as a radical message.

You check how oil prices goes down as I do my normal thing.

Piss break and get more beers. You try an electric blanket if you don't have a dog to keep you warm. A dog from the sleed team.. Terrible.

Try fast food next! With Charles as bait! Smack my bitch up! Mod. You come jumping in and makes a time out! Ice ice baby. Going.

Drink your beer first. You got lots of time. You ain't guarding a ruined club house.

Question is: What would I need a criminal for? Dohh!! Perhaps I get the time to check your numbers. Kafka. Heck your lights and stuff. Measure your speed. And put it all in a database.

So if your bad shit your rehearse till you get it right. Better be under a rock when that happens. 2 weeks. Terrible..

Putin is not fighting to get out of jail. He would fight as the next. Out of fear I would glue his hand to the table when it was my turn.

It's like we got good time to discuss anything. Not stealing mind properties.

I turned more to perhaps they can have Greenland if that is better for them. Sucks to pay 80 for gram.

You make the difference between a pusher and a dealer. It's called "customer".

The term "Customer" means what is available is just that as long as you pay for it.

Turned out after all we are not up to mocking the President of the United States of you know.

Perhaps they end up as hungary soon. Crying for an open line! How the fuck you repair that shit with bombs is still a mystery.

Stop supporting workers comes jumping in for a helping hand. You can still help people that don't have the means. Making them "consumers". All the good stuff.

You imagine Hitler when he was told his bunker could survive anything. CIA using only bushes for cover.

Talk about God and you get retrictions to it. Since the subjects seems rather undefined. You calling priests in only tells you have friends.
What we got next? Why was Greenland given that name in the first place? To get it sold fast! On claims if you have to.

Throw some "shit" and see what sticks.

I have been in fear for two days straight after I heard that few numbers of people are kidnapped and I happen to know one of the victim, they are asked to pay ransom in Bitcoin, I don't know maybe I should call this stupid or not but I am lost in my thoughts....

As a developing country that I am from, my people don't even have their ways of tracking criminals on the Blockchain, even in other countries that are well developed than mine, wrench attacks still happened and none of them attackers got caught.

The reason for my fear is the fact that I have "Bitcoin Payment accepted here" displayed on my business signboard, so I think it is time for me to bring it down for my own safety. What would you have done if you are in my shoe? Any better option you have in mind?
I understand how you feel. You feel scared, anxious, and can't stop thinking about the kidnapping, especially when one of the victims is someone you know. Of course, this is a very natural reaction and is also human nature. A vigilant response to prevent becoming the next victim of kidnapping is something that should be done to maintain safety from the evil intentions of others. I would say “security is a priority”, so taking down the sign that says “Bitcoin payments accepted here” might be a good idea for a while.

You can also consider replacing it with other, more secure payment alternatives, such as using a more secure payment gateway. Kidnapping under the guise of Bitcoin ransom is a serious crime, it is natural that you feel affected because some people have found out that you received payment in Bitcoin. So it's better for you to focus on things that keep you safe until the perpetrator is found and the situation returns to normal.

I turn my "babelizer" at it and see what comes out right. Cheers!

It's almost as you make a replica of a piece of art. Problem is people can't act up to dumb nuts if it gets serious.

I take a chance on it. Seems safe. You can come out now. Johny Stroganoff.. I can smell it from here.

It's with hash roach and beers.. People who don't kick you as a child. I would claim it's an angel act.

People who don't make a living from keeping you trenched. If you only have sunshine and flowers it's different world. More blue pilled. It's mostly about absorbing anything to make it safe. Skipping on pain gestures.

"Bite your tung!" Who said that? The madness. Don't come looking. You know how I passed styx in 2d just to expand. Floating on a leaf to see the world reshape.

You learn it to aim for target.

Throw some "shit" and see what sticks.

What would you have done if you are in my shoe?

Take down the signs within thinking twice.
Before, I used to think that Kidnapping always about getting information on who is rich and who's not. But from what I have seen, even those who can barely feed themselves are being kidnapped and massive ransoms are being demanded. Especially in countries where security is a complete mess and the government is not taking responsibility, keeping a low profile does not make you 100% safe.

Though, Not all kidnapping cases involve crypto, but if the majority of the kidnapping cases in your country keeps demanding for Bitcoin or any other crypto, then there is likely either a direct attack on possible crypto holders, or there is just a widespread kidnapping, where Fiats are not longer considered. So, all you have to do is to do the best that can keep you safe at all cost.

I believe in some places now they even kidnap people who are struggling to make a living, you can be struggling to make a living and some fool somewhere will just think you are rich with too much money, for your safety dude i will advise you to bring down the billboard since you lack security around you when you stay in an environment that is peaceful you can make a notice and start up your business, i think this is the reason why most people don't even talk about bitcoin even when they are busy buying bitcoin because the mind of people is full of wickedness.

I think the issue is clearly not about a sign saying that cryptocurrency payments are accepted, but about the overall nature of the business. If scammers see that the business is doing well and the owner is openly showcasing a luxurious lifestyle, then it doesn’t really matter what the sign says, just having that sign doesn’t mean the person is receiving large amounts of cryptocurrency. I believe that if you can offer crypto as a payment option, you should present it simply as an additional service for customer convenience, not as an indicator of wealth or high income.


The problem with some people is that once they hear crypto or bitcoin they start assuming that the person is extremely wealthy. That’s just the mindset of most people in our country, they don’t even bother to know how much is your bitcoin worth, their mind is already telling them you’re rich simply because you mentioned bitcoin. So at times even if you present bitcoin as just a service for customers convenience there’s already this notion that having bitcoin means you’re extremely rich or wealthy.

This is not just a matter of billboards. If you have a house and a big business, you can be attacked by those criminals. To live in harmony with the social situation, you have to be financially well-off and show it to others. In almost all societies acceptance depends on a strong financial system. This means that the better off you are financially the more respect you will receive.

With a financially secure position, you can balance your own and your family's security. Due to your social position there will be a change in your thoughts and consciousness and you will choose those places where you feel more secure.

As you move into a better position financially, the number of your enemies will increase. Be careful about those things because as you said people's minds are full of wickedness and many of them envy the good position of others and try to harm them.

They don't know how bitcoin is that is why they think when ever someone have bitcoin they will assume you have more then one Btc they don't know you can invest any among. That is why you need to be educated very well before you understand more about all this crypto. Most people ave failed to invest and some that invest don't have enough patience to keep for long term to get the benefit. Some lies just to think they are rich, they will be telling others that don't have knowledge about bitcoin that they have alot of bitcoin and telling them they should invest if they want to become like him, and they don't know that bitcoin is not something that can make you rich in just a few months. We just need to be wise and get experience about things before  we focus more on it so that we won't fall in trap.

This is actually true
The assumption is so real, not even about criminals anymore once any one is known for involving in crypto they all assume the person is rich

And funny enough, if they meet the ones that are not rich they feel they are just being fake or lying about being a Bitcoin participant.
The ignorance is so real

This mostly happens in rural areas where the population is mixed with average and poor people and most of them get intimidated by businesses that accept bitcoin as payment and seek ways to attack. For one to accept bitcoin as payment option they should have enough to hire expert security services both within their premises and for their personal safety. If we can't afford that then it's best to stay safe and avoid it completely. The level of wickedness in the world today is so high that one has to extremely careful about how the carry themselves and the extent to which the go about their businesses.

You cannot take any decision based on two or some different incidents. Because there are some criminals who will try to hide their crimes in various ways, taking advantage of the opportunity. If any decision is taken based on their activities, then you will definitely be cheated. Currently, countless people around the world are using Bitcoin, and in the case of some people, they may be the victim of various types of attacks due to their security reasons. And here, due to carelessness, various incidents can happen. So I think that instead of lagging behind in using Bitcoin due to such isolated incidents, we should be more careful. If such a situation occurs, we should strengthen our security. We also see various types of frauds happening with fiat all the time, so there is no way to say that this happens only in the case of Bitcoin.

How can someone think of opening a business in rural area that's place that is not well developed and still add bitcoin as a method of payment? Although you might be right when you said that this mostly happen in rural areas since it is not well developed people can just come out from no where to mount unnecessary pressure on you that is why opening a business in rural areas is very risky and op almost make it worst by adding bitcoin as a method of payment, although if it's in a country where everybody have access to bitcoin then there will not be any challenge.
