Bitcoin Swindle

Recently, I heard an interesting story about Bitcoin. A Japanese famous comedian was asked to buy ten coins for 1000 dollars by an acquaintance. The coins were plated with a golden color and had a letter "B" carved on the surface. He said these are Bitcoins. He said to the comedian that Bitcoin would definitely rise in value. The comedian knew Bitcoin was popular, so he bought them for 1000 dollars.

If you noticed that the story was strange, it means you knew something about Bitcoin. Because Bitcoin is virtual currency, so they don't exist as real coins. The comedian noticed after he bought them that he had been deceived. Did you laugh at him? Or might you have been deceived like him?

  • Hi, Roman. Thank you for your comment.

  • Hi Tam!

    I didn't know about that comedian and about that story. But I have heard in general, that some people try to scum, selling material coins as Bitcoins :D

    No, I would not be deceived like that comedian. :)

  • Hi, dara. Thank you for your comment. Yes, maybe so. But cash is still  popular in Japan, especially among elderly people.

  • Arigato Tam! It seems to me that in the near future, the cash dealings can vanish, don't you think so?
