🇮🇳 A man in India dug up his deceased sister's skeleton and brought it to the bank just to prove she had died.
He'd been trying to withdraw money from her account for months.
Staff kept telling him the account holder needed to appear in person.
He's illiterate and had no idea a death certificate existed.
The bank got what it asked for.

Anyone else have stablecoin ticker fatigue?
Imagine you receive USDPT to your Solana address but realize your wallet doesn’t have USDPT on default token list. You also need gas so you bridge ETH from Ethereum and wait several minutes and want to swap USDPT for USD on CEX but your preferred CEX doesn’t support USDPT so you swap on chain for USDT but realize the CEX conversion for USDT to USD is not 1:1 on Solana and wire transfer takes days so you bridge to Tron and realize you don’t have TRX so you bridge gas from SOL but realize the bridge has a minimum so you bridge more ETH. Your MetaMask wallet doesn’t yet support Tron so you download a second wallet. Now you realize USDT support on Coinbase ended so you take a chance and finally transfer to MEXC where they lock your account for suspicious activity for several weeks.
Cô ấy đột nhiên tiến lại gần hỏi tôi:
“Bình thường anh chơi meme nào thế?”
Tôi lạnh sống lưng, ấp úng đáp:
“Ờ… cái đang hot dạo này ấy…”
Mắt cô sáng lên:
“Trên chuỗi Base hả? Con $PING tăng mười lần trong một ngày ấy, dùng giao thức X402 để mở bán thật ngầu luôn!”
Tôi lắp bắp:
“Không… không phải…”
“Vậy chắc là trên chuỗi BSC rồi, con $GIGGLE meme từ thiện hôm nay m��i niêm yết spot đấy, CZ đúng là biết nắm bắt nhiệt độ mà.”
“Tôi… cũng không chơi BSC…”
“Vậy là Solana à? Có gì phải ngại đâu? Meme tiếng Trung $索拉拉 trên SOL cũng vui mà.”
Cô nghiêng đầu cười nhẹ.
“Tôi… không chơi SOL…” — cổ họng tôi nghẹn lại, giọng run như viên đạn kẹt trong nòng.
Cô im lặng hai giây, bỗng trợn to mắt:
“Không lẽ… anh vẫn còn chơi TRON sao?”
Ánh mắt đầy thương hại của cô chiếu thẳng vào mặt tôi như đèn pha. Tôi run rẩy, tai ù đi.
Tôi bóp chặt đùi, từ kẽ răng rít ra một tiếng run run như muỗi:
“Không… không phải mấy cái đó…”
Không khí bỗng chốc lặng ngắt.
Nụ cười của cô đông cứng lại, giọng lạnh hẳn đi:
“Vậy rốt cuộc anh chơi meme nào?”
“Cái meme đang hot ấy, còn gì nữa?” — giọng cô như mũi khoan băng đâm thẳng vào tim.
Hai chân tôi khuỵu xuống, nước mắt rơi lộp bộp xuống sàn:
“Tôi… tôi chơi BELLS…”
Cả hành lang lập tức chết lặng, chỉ còn tiếng tôi sụt sùi vang vọng.
Những ánh mắt thương hại xung quanh dồn tới. Tôi ôm mặt, nước mắt thấm qua kẽ tay nóng hổi.
Cô gái cầm áo khoác, quay người định rời đi.
Tôi gào lên, nắm chặt vạt áo cô:
“Xin em đừng đi! BELLS của bọn anh… thật sự vui lắm mà!”
Đám đông bật cười khúc khích.
Nhưng tôi càng ôm chặt hơn, nghẹn ngào nói:
“Không được cười! Dù ông chủ có viết bài FUD thì sao chứ! Dù cộng đồng nát bét chẳng xây dựng nổi thì sao chứ! Dù ai cũng bảo $BELLS 100u không lên nổi 100m là toang thì sao chứ… chẳng lẽ… chẳng lẽ không được chơi sao! Với lại BELLS của bọn anh sắp nâng cấp OP_CAT rồi! Rồi… rồi nhất định sẽ tốt lên mà…!!”
(Từ xa vang lên ti��ng bước chân bảo vệ và một tiếng thở dài:
“Lại là một người chơi BELLS nữa…”)

When ppl claim this I always wonder how they think it happens, or have unrealistic expectations on how much $1bn actually is.
I joined crypto with $200. If I held my initial bitcoin since then and never traded, I would have ~$300k.
If, instead, from that moment I sold the top and bought the bottom of every crypto cycle on Bitcoin, and never paid any taxes, I would have ~$6m USD.
If I put my entire net worth into the Ethereum ICO and never touched it, today I would have ~$150m pre-tax.
While it was definitely possible to have made >$1bn with the opportunities in the market, these versions of reality would also require me to make no mistakes, and have no need to spend $ in real life, or take excessive risk via leverage.
In reality, I grew up in a working class family. I didn’t have a trust fund and I had to pay off my student loan myself. I had a job at Tescos while at high school. After university, I needed to pay rent and fund cost of living and eventually buy a place to live.
I worked at startups for relatively little $ salary, and while a couple have done okay, they still are illiquid and worth nothing until some exit.
Perhaps if I erase a couple of dumb mistakes and drawdowns, or if I had a lil more grind, then my answer would be different today. But it is easy to say this with perfect hindsight vision. It’s easy to see where you could have optimised better, and decisions you made look dumb when the past makes things so obvious.
The truth is I have always optimised for enjoying my life and not going to 0. I never felt like I had a safety net, so it was never possible for me to do anything in any other way. I would probably have less money if I had tried to add more risk or chased $ harder, because being all-in with your entire livelihood is a mental battle and I feel I only win that battle when the stakes are lower.
In writing this, maybe I do understand why CT folks believe this, because modern CT sees crypto as a late-stage lottery ticket farm, where the optimal strategy is to 5x leverage up your portfolio in a hope of catching a good 20% move and then leaving. Or, literally going all-in on the next coin they heard Ansem is buying. So perhaps to them, looking back at the charts, of course that’s what successful folks did.
In reality, I use leverage close to never (and typically to reduce risk rather than add risk — have used it to add risk maybe 3 times in the last 5 years, and maybe 15 times ever). I never go all-in on anything, have only ever done that on BTC and ETH before in the last decade. When I buy other things, I limit risk to tiny amounts, because I treat it as a 0 until proven otherwise (so, always <1% liquid portfolio). Liquid portfolio is also a smaller % of overall portfolio to future-proof against my own fuckups.
Obviously I made a lot of money, I have been here 12 years! CT doesn’t want to hear about “getting rich in a decade” though. I am happy with where I am and have never really cared or optimised for maximising $ earnings, but instead having a nice life that lets me enjoy the game we play together.
