A humorous story about a crypto conman and some Bitcoin art

Good morning traders and crypto friends! Markets got you down again? Let's cheer us up with some curiosities and humor from around the world. If the following story doesn't cheer you up, i don't know what will :)

Have you ever had someone try to steal or scam you out of your Bitcoin or other cryptos? Surely many of us have had our fair share of contact with some shady characters in the anonymous cryptosphere. But this story will make you wonder, how far will some people go, to get hands on that delicious Bitcoin.

Meet Neil Murphy, an Irish man, owning some Bitcoins and discussing it online. Apparently Murphy was sent a friend request on Facebook by an egyptian bloke, Yousef, with some shady ramblings about Bitcoin. Now - usually the most of just dump the bloke and block the further chat, but Murphy is not the usual man and wants to have some fun on the account of the shady egyptian scammer.

He told the scammer, that he would agree to send him 0.15 BTC, if Yousef, the scammer, would dress up as a raccoon, rummaged around in his neighbours trash and sent a picture of it as proof. Yousef, being a scammer, tried to get some as a pre-payment, but Murphy quickly dismissed the efforts, saying that he had been scammed before with photos of a badger rather than a raccoon.

At this moment, you have to wonder what Yousef is thinking - whether he believes his victim is having fun on him or perhaps some sort of weird fetish. The following events probably prove that he believed the latter, as he managed to get his face painted as a raccoon, obtained a black and white striped shirt and headed for the town.

One of Muprhy's demands was that there would need to be as much trash as possible and Yousef would need to snarl at the camera like a real raccoon, so the scammer sent a series of photos, where he is on all fours at an overturned giant trashcan, dressed like a raccoon, as demanded. The look on his face when snarling at the camera is priceless :)

The outcome? Murphy said he wasnt going to send any money and you can only imagine Yousef's disappoinment and shame.

Bitconiano refers to Bitcoin as a she, and has a nice backstory for all his drawings. This one is about the cheap pizza for Bitcoin, compared to a few years back:

No one does pizza like Fibonnaci.
As usual she got their special - Three levels of cheese support with Ichimoku sauce, difficult to offer resistance to. One after another every triangle has been ascending from the box and descending into her mouth.

Make sure you check out Bitconianos other chart art as well. Looking forward for future projects :)
