"while your investment appreciates in value", hopefully.

[-] Tubics@lemmy.world 38 points 1 year ago

Even if it loses 90% of its value it's still a win if the money came from credit cards you never paid back. Although the couple of hundred bucks you get might not be worth the hassle

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago

You will also be unable to take out any debt upon release. It's difficult to get credit as a released felon without a history of defaulting on debt.

So, being generous and saying that he sees a 4% return on his investment, he'll have slightly more than he went in owing, and will be completely unable to even get a car loan, a decent job, or place to live.

He will have turned 0 dollars in to a lifetime of hardship.

[-] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago

Correction: He will have turned 0 dollars into a lifetime of hardship and a few hundred dollars.

In prison.

Butthole destroyed.

Make check on coin.

Massive loss in value.

No.

[-] GlitterInfection@lemmy.world 87 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Just so you know you don't need to go to prison in order to get your butthole destroyed. It's much easier to just go on Grindr, which is only an emotional prison.

[-] nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl 23 points 1 year ago

There is a different story here, hidden beneath the floor boards.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 23 points 1 year ago

Fun fact you also don't need to go to prison for your crypto to depreciate!

You'd still owe that debt. Unless you go to prison for live than the debt's statute length. Generally 7 years.

Also some jurisdictions make you pay for the privilege of going to prison.

Ymmv, choose your state of jurisdiction very carefully.

Also crypto is a bubble IMO.

Don't pay and ignore collectors.... Profit

I think you would make more money if you gave handys behind the Wendy's dumpster every day for 7 years.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 57 points 1 year ago

> Realise you still owe the credit card debt.

[-] nonfuinoncuro@lemm.ee 17 points 1 year ago

I didn't just say it, I declared it

[-] CADmonkey@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Just commit a crime with a longer sentence than your state's statute of limitations.

You already fucked up in step 2

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 48 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Come to that you fucked up in step 1. Do you really think the credit card companies are gonna let that debt just sit there not accruing interest and not send debt collectors to your house while you're in jail?

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 32 points 1 year ago

Not if you sell your house to buy more crypto ;)

[-] Deiv@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago
[-] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Let's go one further:

  1. Get turned into a vampire

  2. Buy crypto

  3. Go sleep in your coffin for 100 years

  4. ???

  5. Profit

[-] independantiste@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

~~5. Profit~~

  1. Realize it's at 0$

  2. Cry

  3. Remember you bought doge because Elon Musk said so

  4. Cry

[-] Ardiente@ttrpg.network 35 points 1 year ago
[-] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago

I mean if I had gone to jail right after I bought any of my crypto I'd be doing better. Sadly, it makes more sense to pull the crypto than default.

I think I had less than a cent of bitcoin and managed to pull 20 later (almost all of it) then another 20 later. Huge percent profit.

[-] jol@discuss.tchncs.de 34 points 1 year ago

You'll have to somehow launder that crypto first.

[-] ryathal@sh.itjust.works 33 points 1 year ago

You probably wouldn't need laundered crypto, but you would need to be able to hide it from the bankruptcy court. This only works if you can clear the credit card debt.

[-] Rin@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

Monero doesn't need to be laundered.

[-] matter@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It does if you want to spend it in any meaningful way

[-] Rin@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I pay for my VPN in Monero. You can also get items shipped to an Amazon Locker near you with Monero. I agree, the adoption isn't great but it's better than nothing.

Edit:

Sorry, it's late and I'm tired. I misunderstood your comment. No it doesn't need to be laundered. It obfuscates the amount of money, recipient and receiver meaning it's as private as giving your friend some cash in person.

Article if you wanna read more.

[-] matter@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yes, I understand how monero works. Yeah you'll get away with buying some groceries or whatever with it, but people who go through bankruptcy (especially who aren't rich, and are felons) have a close eye from the government on their finances. If you try to buy a house or a car or anything actually life changing with that, you're pretty likely to get caught and charged with fraud etc., unless you legitimise it, that is, launder it.

What country does anon live in, where prison food and housing is free?

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 40 points 1 year ago

a country that has any reasonable human rights?? well unless you mean "free" in the general sense in that someone does have to pay for it even if not the prisoner...

Someone actually did this, then built a nuclear fallout shelter in their backyard in the middle of some city, but he did it all redneck and it blew up or something while building an underground generator or something and killed a 17 year old kid, he went back to jail, got out after another crypto spike, tried to cash out and immediately got sued by the family of the dead kid for wrongful death and got sued by the IRS for back taxes. It's a fucking rabbit hole of a story.
