 I haven’t interacted with the legacy financial system in a long time so I forgot how bad it is. I’m trying to collect payments from normies for our fantasy football league and it’s all coming back to me now.

“We made two small deposits in your bank account. Please verify what these amounts are.”

 You can't make this shit up 🤣🤣🤣 
 It’s so frustrating! 
 The beatings will continue until you opt out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 
 I tried getting them to do a Bitcoin prize pool but couldn’t get everyone to agree. Even if i did, they’d still need me to convert their fiat for them 🤷‍♂️ 
 Play fiat games, win fiat prizes! 😜 
 im in a football text thread for the first time since going esim +  jmp.chat #, and i cant reply cuz jmp wont let me send text to more than ten people in a group...and they want me to venmo them for the pool which i dont even know how to do anymore but they also dont kkow that cuz i cant reply 😂

getting brought back to normie ways is jarring as fuck. even my 76 year old mom uses signal, gdayum 
 Lmao wtf is jmp chat? 
 non kyc phone # you can pay for with btc or xmr 
 They should use Strike. They don't even need to know it uses bitcoin.  
 Getting them to download signal for the group chat was like pulling teeth man 🙃
