Just the same!

Bitcoin news site Protos warns people to be super-careful when attending the annual Bitcoin Conference.

Long also advised to keep your eyes on your drink to avoid the risk of anyone spiking it. Others suggest watching your back “literally” in case there are any “wrench attacks,” a phrase used to desribe theft through physical attacks. One user equated leaving the conference with your lanyard on as having a sign that says “rob me,” and urged attendees to remove them before leaving. Another warned of the risks of Scopolamine, a drug that can supposedly “zombify” you and leave you prone to exploitation. One user reminded conference-goers to avoid bringing strippers back to the hotel. This scenario may have caused someone to lose $300,000 worth of crypto earlier this year.

That’s odd. I thought bitcoin guaranteed honesty. I thought bitcoin was the non-criminal way to transact business, while Filthy Fiat is the criminal way.

Back in 1978 I worked at the OU Conference Center where we hosted Filthy Fiat banker conferences regularly. Filthy Fiat bankers were just the same as Bitcoiners, except that they didn’t attack or swindle or spike your drink or bring strippers or assault or steal.

Well, actually they were BORING. Nothing ever happened. Banks are supposed to be serious and boring. Excitement is a sign of criminality.

The conference center was easy compared to the commercial motels where I had clerked before. Every night in a commercial motel is like Bitcoin. Whores, pimps, thieves, high-rolling gamblers, sleazy salesmen.
