I received 43.224***** bitcoins into my wallet from someone today and I don't know where it's from. There is no reference number and no message. I can only assume that a one in a million chance, someone had an address very similar to mine mis-typed / incorrectly copied the intended address. Unless I have an unknown admirer ?
It's amazing to think that this could actually happen.. I calculated 43.224*** bitcoin as $97,297.22 which is a very handy amount to be given for free, by mistake. I was thinking what I could do with it. What do you think I should do with it ?
put it toward a new house
give it to charity
re-invest it in other things / coins / metals, etc
other suggestions ?
All suggestions will be considered & I will make a decision at the end of the week!
Now there's a very interesting anecdote about a rock band's rider. I can't remember who.. Someone like The Grateful Dead. A band's rider is a list of things they want when they turn up to a venue / hotel and in some cases it can be very long and complicated (if there's a large entourage.) Often it's about sound equipment or in the case of a hotel, what facilities the rooms should have.
This particular band made a clever move and inserted way down the list (this may be an urban myth by the way) green m&m's.. They didn't actually want green m&m's but if there wasn't a bowl of green m&m's at the venue the manager / tour manager knew that they hadn't read the rider, so would likely get the important sound equipment wrong.. which could ruin the whole gig !
So the moral of that story is read very carefully to the bottom of an article. I completely made this whole idea up just to show you that you shouldn't believe everything you read, only half of what you hear.. and you'll never know which half. People will post anything to get a response. It's called clickbait and is used by people selling advertising space to inflate their costs. A lot of fake news is created, cynically for this reason.
I feel kinda bad I tricked you, because I do actually genuinely produce tons of original content from photographs and films, art and poetry, music and writing about this that and sometimes, the other..
However if you have managed to read this far, you are in the top 1% of awake people. Thanks for being shrewd and be careful out there. stay frosty.. The story about the spider and the coffee.. that is actually 100% completely genuine ! if you've seen my feed, you'll know what I mean :)
Plot twist... The end is actually the fake part
screenwriting .. the art of getting out ! the spider story is 100% true and original.. if you still don't believe me, check out the photo for yourself, you can see the spider's reflection in the coffee and a tiny cotton fibre on it's front right leg !
Lol! I meant the story is actually real and the fake part was you saying it was fake :). I have no idea what your spider story is all about.
Ha ha, nice idea for a ruse - I'll follow you for that =)
thanks avarice.. nice name btw !
no way lets see the blockchain screenshot. lol
I read it to the end just because I couldn't believe such a "mistake" ! If i was to transfer 43 BTC intentionally, I would check the adress like 40 times before sending it ;-)
But you made your point, you got my attention !
i would too.. I'd copy it on to a laser etching machine.. transfer it to CAD then route it in steel first !
I'd buy some m&ms for the spider
you're in the top 0.1%
1 BTC for the people who comment below!
I'm a green m+m eating spider I'll take 2
What? Just anything? Done!

nice try cowboy.. read again !
donate it to me :)
I'm giving half of it you.. maybe :)
What is that building? is that your house?
that's a house near where I live ! which I'd probably like to buy with the extra e-cash ;)
I guessed the house was in england by the brickwork..... And, I'm surprised they got planning permission. Do you have any more info about the house? Or an address? I just love tiny homes, and alternative housing.
It's notable because it's in an area of beautiful Victorian architecture. I'm surprised it got planning permission. I can find out. It's in an area called De Beauvoir in Dalston, London Zone 2.. I like houses that are different, low tech and ecobuilt too !
Hey sup, followed, voted, listen I'm not a writer and did not look at your other posts yet, but break up the paragraphs a bit, it helps to read it^^ and looks nicer. P.S. saw the spider story but haven't took a look only due to time restraints during week for me, ill check it now tho, peace.
Please everyone take an adventure.
