Ok. So I'm going to make a bot that posts this joke and then changes the amounts every five minutes...

Edit: thanks for the awards?

Edit: rip my inbox

Edit: my new top comment is in r/jokes... not sure how I feel about this.

FarMake60 · 2021-05-31T23:32:44+00:00

You should keep going in to the post and editing the amounts..

Dhaerrow · 2021-05-31T23:16:29+00:00

Keeping with the spirit of the joke, I shall keep changing my vote over the next several hours.

Oznog99 · 2021-06-01T06:44:25+00:00

This joke is SO 3:46PM on Nov 10, 2020

x_Machiavelli_x · 2021-05-31T23:18:13+00:00

You can tell how old this joke is by how off the point the price is. Bitcoin fluctuated around 15k in 2018. It's about $40k rn.

HyperGamers · 2021-06-01T08:36:03+00:00

Should have updated this joke with 2021 prices instead of reposting it with the 2017 prices...

cryptolemaik · 2021-05-31T23:42:21+00:00

As someone who once owned what today would be a fortune of bitcoins I approve of this joke.

cloud3321 · 2021-06-01T07:36:02+00:00

And then there's that guy who bought a 40,000 bit coin pizza.

Kiflaam · 2021-06-01T05:59:10+00:00

finally, a non word-pun

Wolfenberg · 2021-06-01T05:46:23+00:00

This joke's old, huh?

baenpb · 2021-06-01T06:39:53+00:00

This joke makes me nostalgic. I remember years ago when bit coin was to be used as a currency. What a simple and optimistic time that was.

GoofAckYoorsElf · 2021-06-01T07:14:46+00:00

Not volatile enough

BoiIedFrogs · 2021-06-01T09:28:53+00:00

If only it were that stable

mrdannyg21 · 2021-06-01T12:05:26+00:00

Lol you can tell this is a repost based on the amounts

Awake00 · 2021-06-01T12:23:34+00:00

Lol didn't even change the price to update it.

wakeupagainman · 2021-06-01T14:04:16+00:00

Unlike BTC, the USD is consistent -- it gets worth less every day

UnsorryCanadian · 2021-06-01T05:57:41+00:00

Nice to see jokes from 2017 again

sonicrings4 · 2021-06-01T11:47:08+00:00

Alright guys, it's my turn to repost this joke next time.

StarStealingScholar · 2021-06-01T12:17:47+00:00

This post was at the top of the subreddit but whatever i guess im on r/jokes what can I expect

RedditPowerUser01 · 2021-06-01T12:41:50+00:00

This repost is clearly at least 6 months old

Cajunbot · 2021-06-01T13:27:10+00:00

That jokes so old, bitcoin was 15k.

tysonsmithshootname · 2021-06-01T16:39:58+00:00

You can identify the date the joke was first told and when OP stole it.

tanmayshah28 · 2021-06-01T06:58:14+00:00

Hahaha

karatekid430 · 2021-06-01T07:10:36+00:00

"Son, why would you want something that Elon Musk just shat all over?"

D0wnVoteMe_PLZ · 2021-06-01T09:22:52+00:00

Why does he need $36,257?

fleetadmiralj · 2021-06-01T10:57:08+00:00

Price swings not extreme enough

2021-06-01T08:37:09+00:00

Ha! That's a nice update to an old classic.

darthwad3r · 2021-06-01T08:51:12+00:00

This joke can never exactly be a re-post.

2021-06-01T12:38:28+00:00

Lmaoo this is hilarious

Gamingaloneinthedark · 2021-06-01T15:35:30+00:00

What is bitcoin?

StitchFan626 · 2021-06-01T15:41:04+00:00

So... is the joke here that the market fluctuates so rapidly? I doubt stock holders would find this funny.

pHoEnIx_3_ · 2021-06-01T07:49:38+00:00

I've lost interest in this

apsyche · 2021-05-31T23:21:54+00:00

Waiting for it to hit 69k, so I can finally get beaten by my dad for two reasons

hoosyourdaddyo · 2021-06-01T06:56:08+00:00

OK, Son, I can spare $5.25

coldfuser · 2021-06-01T03:08:20+00:00

you should cross post this to /r/bitcoin

Stooven · 2021-06-01T07:06:10+00:00

If you're going to steal a joke, at least update the price to be in the ballpark of what it's been for the last few months

Renfah87 · 2021-06-01T15:10:46+00:00

Just give him a quarter and tell him it will be worth more than 1 BTC someday

The_Great_Goblin · 2021-06-01T12:56:38+00:00

We would also have accepted:

"A whole bitcoin? Do you have any idea how much one bitcoin costs in this day and age?? Because I don't. How much does it cost today?"

zladuric · 2021-06-01T10:15:55+00:00

It should have been: "fuck off, son, dad's been trying to get a new GPU for months now but I can't because of you little crypto bastards"

2021-06-01T05:20:41+00:00

Smarifyrur · 2021-06-01T07:40:41+00:00

I could use $36.769.11

reddit_chaos · 2021-06-01T12:43:43+00:00

After a few minutes, he said, “here, have your $100”.

lost40s · 2021-06-01T13:35:45+00:00

$38,000 is a lot of money. You should invest that $25,000. Aaaand it's gone.

WhyDiner · 2021-06-01T13:54:10+00:00

It’s funny but true which is why Bitcoin transactions have been flat for five years and crypto currency’s will never make it as currency’s.

_g550_ · 2021-06-01T14:53:14+00:00

He needs a charger for his iPhone.

bananainbeijing · 2021-06-01T08:08:08+00:00

lol, this is so terrible. Prices are wrong, the fluctuations are not really crypto level fluctuations.

Could have been much better implemented, even for a repost
