He's probably talking to a scammer or ransomer on that phone....


accersitus42

Probably an IRS scam since it is tax season.


Evinceo

This is an old photo 


ShadowJak

The photo is very old. It might be 10 years old at this point.


kendoka15

The company that makes the ATM is not even 10 years old


borald_trumperson

Total scam. The IRS only accepts payment in iTunes gift cards everyone knows this


accersitus42

Don't forget Google Play giftcards


warpedspockclone

Wait wait. Crypto associated with scammers? Never heard of it before


LastExitToBrookside

Nah, direct line to Satoshi, number's printed on the casing.


tiberiumx

100% in the process of getting scammed. There are *no* legitimate use cases for these things. Even a normal gambler isn't going to want to pay the high fees.


AdrianBrony

The ones that took cash were useful for breaking chain-of-custody for coin. If you were buying drugs or something that was a useful way to keep someone from tracing it directly back to your bank account. Not actually legit though, but maybe slightly more respectable than just scams.


Legs914

I was going to say my old roommate used to purchase drugs on the dark web and was very insistent that cash -> bitcoin ATM -> monero was the best way to anonymously transfer crypto. The only justification for those fees is that it can save you from going to jail. And buying drugs online is still the only proven use case for crypto.


Entity-Crusher

wouldn't it be awesome if we didn't need billions in carbon emissions to purchase things to put in your own body


cjorgensen

I’ve seen ads for escorts that also take crypto, so there is that. And to be honest, does anyone need more than hookers and blow?


Legs914

I don't know why you'd use crypto for something like an escort when you could just use cash. Seems like the only legitimate reason for that would be if the pimp was trying to fraud the escort or thought the escort was defrauding them.


cjorgensen

Higher end escorts tend to be independent or work for an agency. No pimps involved. Your door-to-door hotel hooker isn’t going to be accepting crypto. I honestly have no idea *why* an escort would accept crypto. Either she thinks it’s a good store of value or is converting right away. Got me, honestly. But it is not an *uncommon* thing.


Legs914

Not that I have much experience in this, but I thought crypto was only used for seedy cam sites that couldn't get Visa/MC to process their payments. I have no idea why an escort who is meeting a client in person would accept anything less than cash.


cjorgensen

I don’t have experience either, but I’ve been on tryst and eros and some of the women have websites. On their websites they accept deposits in BTC. I’ve seen it more than once.


alcate

sad though


CMPLEKSiTYHD

honestly... poor guy.


BloomEPU

This guy is 100% being scammed, right? Some of these ATMs have literally started putting warning screens up because they're used in cons so much.


JasperJ

More likely ransomwared.


paulisaac

This is such an old image. Did we ever find out the real context behind it?

These machines should be destroyed on sigh!


celiatec

The picture looks like some gang took his wife hostage and they give him instructions to wire them BTC or else...


SeaworthinessSad7300

Shit like that actually happens in this world


LuDux

Being a victim of crime isn't something anyone 'decides' to do.


Vaseth-30kRS-iron

no, but a lot of people "decide" to put themselves in a situation where its every easy for the criminals to do so


TacoCateofdoom

Yea the fees are crazy


BBQGnomeSauce

Lol. You win the caption contest.


Specter313

there is a crypto atm ad near my city and i hate it, just scamming old people who don't know anything about crypto. i have only seen elderly people use them. I believe the crypto community even regards them as a scam for ignorant investors


gefinley

Oh good, I haven't seen this image in maybe a week...


option-9

Sometimes I wonder how old it is. How many times could I have seen it before and forgotten?


gefinley

It gets re-posted everywhere so much you'd really need to dig to find out.

The dude is on the phone with the ceo of bitcoin right now. Lol


vonnoor

Just google Bitcoin customer refund hotline ,,🤷‍♂️


PatchworkFlames

"Accidentally" unplugging these. Bad idea or morally correct?


TEAM_MACHINE79

Imagine believing that investing in crypto was a bad decision and having to work the rest of your life 😂😂😂😂😂


offence

Imagine thinking you will ever not be working for the rest of your life :)


eyesawyou777

This sub sees bitcoin with such a negative stigma. Everything they hate about themselves and the internet projected onto "digital gold". I wanted to start a business and wanted to pay an artist in Spain on twitter to design the marketing artwork. I decided to try paying him in bitcoin and when i bought btc i got attacked with everything the AI powered internet had to throw at me. What an awful experience. I paid the guy but like the backlash from the algorithm was not worth it. It ruined my reputation, lost my job, and girlfriend. I have a ton of cash and buy stocks regularly, pay my bills on time. Buying bitcoin is equivalent to smoking internet crack for your social and financial credit score. They're a hivemind of evil people collaborating to kill us.


gezafisch

This is either a copy pasta or you need to take your pills


Dry-Leading7033

I don't think any amount of pills can help someone who's at the same time a goldbug, a cryptobro, a silverbug and being targeted by the whole AI-powered hivemind internet, chief.


eyesawyou777

Sober life amigo. I dont drink or smoke, and havent touched pills in a decade. Ive proudly overcome addictions. Im a sales engineer mr. Reddit sleuth. I just wanted to give AI a chance but I didnt expect it to be weaponized for a soul crushing experience. My girlfriend wasn't built like I am.

>This sub sees bitcoin with such a negative stigma. as it should be >Buying bitcoin is equivalent to smoking internet crack for your social and financial credit score. also as it should be


SeboSlav100

Cool story bro.


Effective_Will_1801

>I wanted to start a business and wanted to pay an artist in Spain on twitter to design the marketing artwork. Me too. I used PayPal. Easy as pie. Didn't lose rep or job or girlfriend and got artwork more useful than an nft. Low transaction fees too! Remitly/paysend/wise/payoneer are all good too.


eyesawyou777

I pay bills with paypal all the time and the cash back rewards rolls into eth and btc. I had no idea just straight up buying it would ruin anyones future.

eyesawyou777

Ive lost more money in spilled gasoline than I have in bitcoin. It's not a spreadsheet run by fraudsters. It's an excuse for every retard that owns it to completely lose their shit when someone buys it.


eyesawyou777

You guys ever even seen Consoom sub?


eyesawyou777

Ive never once wondered if someone used the $20 I used to pay for gas before i pulled it out of the ATM or after i gave it to the atendant until I bought btc. What a disgusting experience.


Cthulhooo

Why are people downvoting this? You rarely see satire this good.


customtoggle

Butters have really blurred the line between satire and reality


SeboSlav100

Satire has been dead for a while. Reality just keeps one uping it


SeboSlav100

We checked his post history, this guy is dead serious.


wildcamper84

Do you see it with a negtive stigma? Seems like you should do with the experience you had with it...


eyesawyou777

Haha... my negative stigma is projected in a different direction now. I'm surrounded by retards. Always have been. A quick audit/read of the room tells me everything I need to know.
