1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: I accidentally made a ton of money in crypto, but

2
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: didn't share it with my sister because she didn't help

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:05,200
Speaker 1: at all.

4
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,719
Speaker 2: Am I the ahole? Okop, this is Okayop.

5
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 3: I'm Samuel Donner and I'm John Fry, and we told

6
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 3: the money astorians on the internet.

7
00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: Sam, have you ever had like an instance of like

8
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,200
Speaker 1: you just like found a bunch of money or just

9
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 1: like accidentally came across like a bunch of cash that

10
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:19,599
Speaker 1: you didn't know you had.

11
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 3: Well, my great great grandmother, wow, was a pirate in

12
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 3: the British Naval forces.

13
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 2: Okay here, and she gave me an.

14
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 3: Old map like that was passed down right, So it

15
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:43,200
Speaker 3: was heirloom and it had an X in a mysterious

16
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 3: spot in Santa Monica. And so I dug it up

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 3: and I found millions of dollars. Hey, just kidding. That

18
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: is a lie. No, I have not found any money, suckers,

19
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 3: you believed it, I know, like a dummy, dummy. Well,

20
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: we have a story of someone who actually was not

21
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 3: a dummy and made some very smart financial moves and

22
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: accidentally made a fortune.

23
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: Wow, it's always nice.

24
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 3: Accidentally making it a fortune is better than trying to

25
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 3: make a Ford.

26
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,160
Speaker 2: Correct. All right, let's get into it.

27
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: So my sister female twenty one and I Mail twenty

28
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: two both used to work in our teens while we

29
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: went to school. The parents of a childhood friend of

30
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: mine own a beverage market, so I used to hop

31
00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 1: out there from time to time. As I got older,

32
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: I started to cover the shifts of people who went

33
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,040
Speaker 1: on vacation in the summer, so I was basically working

34
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:34,400
Speaker 1: full time by my summer break and only occasionally helped during.

35
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 2: The school year. Okay.

36
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 3: My sister, on the other hand, wanted to relax take

37
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:43,560
Speaker 3: her summer break so freeloaded, freaking free kid wanting to

38
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:44,960
Speaker 3: enjoy summer break.

39
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 2: Disgusting.

40
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: So she worked as a waitress two or three nights

41
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: a week, and she took her school breaks off of more.

42
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: I also was not a very social kid, so I

43
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 1: saved most of the money I earned, aside from the

44
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: occasional tech upgrade here and there, while my sister spent

45
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: all of hers on clothes and trips with her friends.

46
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 2: Wow, you have friends that you want to travel with? Disgusting. Gross.

47
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: I started university in the fall of twenty eighteen, and

48
00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: the following summer I discovered that my summer break in

49
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: university didn't really line up with most people's holiday plans anymore.

50
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 1: So he's all alone. He's all alone. But he decided

51
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:25,959
Speaker 1: to put his free time to good use. He started

52
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 1: looking for another job that he could do during September

53
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: and October. So he found an agency that was hiring

54
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: people that could do customer support remotely for their clients.

55
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: So he worked about seven weeks there in twenty nineteen.

56
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: Now here's the thing. The platform that they paid their

57
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,679
Speaker 1: contractors through offered payments in either bank transfer or crypto.

58
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:52,839
Speaker 2: Oh, this gets interesting. This is an investment.

59
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 1: Now, but I wanted to avoid the fees of any

60
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: bank transfers, so I had my wage paid out directly

61
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: to the ethereum address of my crypto accounts. So now

62
00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 1: this platform I was using wanted more information from me

63
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: before I could do anything with the money, and the

64
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 1: university started to pick up again, so I honestly kind

65
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: of just forgot about the money in the account.

66
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 3: I love these stories when people forget about their crypto

67
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: because it's just like the baby.

68
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 2: So great things heating up.

69
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: So fast forward to this Christmas. I overhear my uncle

70
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: who works in it talking about his crypto investments to

71
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: my grandpa. I tell him that I actually had some

72
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: crypto but I forgot about it, and his eyes went wide.

73
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: He's like, dollar signs, slid dollar bills yet coin signs.

74
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 3: Actually, yeah, not dollar bills, blockchain bills, blockchain bills forgetting

75
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 3: dollar Get out of here with your fiat currencies.

76
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,800
Speaker 1: I tell him what happened, and he basically says that

77
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: if I'm telling the truth, my money has multiplied in

78
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: value and I should cash it out if I'm not

79
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: going to actively monitor it.

80
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,680
Speaker 2: Sheesh ssh.

81
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: So the first thing I did the next morning was

82
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 1: log into the account and finish cashing out the money.

83
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: I was paid a little over thirteen ethereum. Thirteen ethereum,

84
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: how much was it at this point of the story.

85
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: So it turned out they were at the time of

86
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: the story worth forty five thousand euros instead of twenty

87
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 1: two hundred euros which I earned in twenty nineteen, So

88
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: they paid him twenty two hundred euros. He ended up

89
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: with forty five thousand.

90
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:21,839
Speaker 2: Not a bad investment.

91
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 1: So I told my family about the windfall at dinner,

92
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: and my parents were happy for me, but my sister

93
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: got very.

94
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 3: Quiet why she should be happy for her brother. When

95
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,480
Speaker 3: we asked her about it a few minutes later, she said,

96
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: it wasn't fair that I'd accidentally made so much money,

97
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,000
Speaker 3: and then I should share the money with her.

98
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 2: Because we both worked just as hard and I fimily got.

99
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 3: Lucky one they did not work as hard too. Our

100
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 3: boy p had no friends give it. Let him have

101
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 3: something for real? Like what license do you have over like?

102
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 2: No? No, no, no right to this? No right.

103
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,599
Speaker 1: I don't think she's entitled to any of the money, agreed,

104
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: because it could have just as well been worthless, and

105
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:05,360
Speaker 1: nobody would have expected me.

106
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: To pay in that case. Another good point.

107
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 1: My mom told me she agrees with me, but she

108
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten involved yet, while my dad says he understands

109
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 1: us both and I should at least offer to buy

110
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: her a car or pay for her vacation to keep

111
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: the peace.

112
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: So am I the a hole? If I don't share

113
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: the money with her?

114
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: You are not the a whole? But it might be

115
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 3: nice to get your sister like a gift or something,

116
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 3: not a.
