<v Speaker 2>This is the Flex and Frooms catch up podcast.

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:13.440
<v Speaker 1>Hello, Love Fine LEXI, We've got a DM from a woman.

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:17.280
<v Speaker 1>This is spicy. It's a relationship question about an ex.

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:18.440
<v Speaker 2>So strapping voice.

0:00:19.360 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Flex Rooms and Mickey, Mickey, you've really transcended the

0:00:22.280 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 1>producer tag. I'm not gonna lie the third co host

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 1>please keep an on for this one. Don't want to

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>get in any trouble. My ex from ten years ago

0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>reached out to me and I'm still in shock and

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.839
<v Speaker 1>admittedly haven't chatted to anyone but you girls about this

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:36.239
<v Speaker 1>till now. Me and my ex, let's call him Greg,

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.120
<v Speaker 1>were high school sweethearts. We got together after formal loll

0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>Jeffrey Campbell's etc. Stand up, and we were together throughout

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:46.159
<v Speaker 1>first year, second year UNI. Greg was always quite smart.

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>Back in twenty eleven, he got very excited about the

0:00:48.240 --> 0:00:50.720
<v Speaker 1>prospect of bitcoin. I thought it was all a bit

0:00:50.760 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>silly at the time loll. But Greg wasn't spending crazy amounts.

0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I think it was only five hundred dollars for a coin,

0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.320
<v Speaker 1>so I didn't really get involved. For Christmas one year,

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>there was some sort of deal going on like buy

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>a bitcoin, get one free. I told him to put

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 1>in half twoin fifty to give to him for Christmas.

0:01:06.560 --> 0:01:07.240
<v Speaker 2>As his gift.

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 1>Greg and I broke up not long after that. Ooh,

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:12.759
<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't a nasty breakup. We just grew apart

0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and need some time after high school. I feel like

0:01:15.200 --> 0:01:16.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a post school His breakup is the vibe that

0:01:17.000 --> 0:01:19.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting. Fast forward last week. It's been more than

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>ten years and I get a DM on in ste

0:01:21.200 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>of requests.

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>We unfollowed each other long ago. It's Greg. Here's what

0:01:25.000 --> 0:01:25.400
<v Speaker 2>he said.

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.440
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Ex, okay, long time, no c This is a

0:01:29.440 --> 0:01:30.960
<v Speaker 1>bit weird, but I have something to ask you.

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:32.920
<v Speaker 2>Bear with me. This is not a scam.

0:01:33.200 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>As you know, I spent a fair bit in bitcoin

0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>when we were together, and I've decided to start selling

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>some of it. When I went through my portfolio, I

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.039
<v Speaker 1>remembered you pitched in and brought me a bitcoin for Christmas.

0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.479
<v Speaker 1>It felt wrong to not message you before I did it.

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 1>But if I sell the bitcoin you brought me, would

0:01:46.800 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>you want half the money? There would be no strings attached.

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Promise think about it and let me know as I

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>need the money right now. Happy to call, but I

0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>don't have your number.

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 2>Let me know, greg. Girls, I was shook.

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.120
<v Speaker 1>She said the going price for bitcoin at that moment

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>was fifty K, and as much as I needed the money,

0:02:04.880 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>something feels wrong about taking money from a man I

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 1>haven't spoken to in.

0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:09.840
<v Speaker 2>Years and it was a gift, wasn't it.

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. It's making me feel icky, and I think my

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 1>current partner would be uncomfortable about the whole thing. It's

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:16.680
<v Speaker 1>stressing me out. Girlies, What the f do I do?

0:02:17.160 --> 0:02:19.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean bitcoins? Is it going for fifty k currently?

0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:19.560
<v Speaker 1>No?

0:02:19.919 --> 0:02:21.000
<v Speaker 2>But this was then.

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>Listen, we need to talk about this.

0:02:23.480 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 2>It's just down way. I know it is down from

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 2>eighty or something.

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.800
<v Speaker 1>It's fifty three k right now. Yeah, one year ago,

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>I reckon I got up to eighty. I bought it

0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 1>when I was sixty three thousand, idiot. I got one

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:37.440
<v Speaker 1>thing to say to you, miss girl. Of course you're

0:02:37.440 --> 0:02:38.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna take the money.

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.080
<v Speaker 2>Nah? Are you crazy? Nah?

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>Twenty five thousand dollars?

0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:46.400
<v Speaker 2>Tell me why the circumstances are strange.

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 3>I don't understand the motivation of someone you haven't spoken

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 3>to in ten years. You pitched in for half a

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.639
<v Speaker 3>bitcoin as a gift. If I gave you a Chanelle

0:02:54.639 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 3>perfume as a gift, and then ten years lady, you're like, hey,

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.520
<v Speaker 3>I'm selling it consignment. I'm actually getting five K for it.

0:03:00.560 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 3>Do you want half? Because you gave me a gift,

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:05.320
<v Speaker 3>You'd be like, I'm not entitled to anything you get

0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 3>from this. He probably doesn't want to withdraw on himself

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 3>because of the tax implications on him.

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:13.119
<v Speaker 1>That's not how it works though.

0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, but this split it in half. How are you

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 3>gonna do that? Put some coins in her wallet, let

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:18.440
<v Speaker 3>her hold it for a bit.

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Now he's gonna give her the cash, is he? Well,

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 1>why would he reach out exactly?

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.800
<v Speaker 2>Why would he reach out? It sounds shady, boots.

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:32.240
<v Speaker 3>If this guy was into bitcoin ten years ago, the

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.760
<v Speaker 3>kind of literacy he has about what to do with

0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:36.480
<v Speaker 3>it and what not to do it with it far

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:39.800
<v Speaker 3>exceeds her. And from her, as you said before, someone

0:03:39.840 --> 0:03:43.200
<v Speaker 3>who's not like someone has a rudimentary understanding of it.

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 2>From her personally, she's like, oh my god, I feelgy

0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 2>because you're gona give me money.

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:49.320
<v Speaker 3>Why would someone ten years into the bitcoin game be

0:03:49.360 --> 0:03:51.200
<v Speaker 3>thinking about giving you any kind of money.

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that he's had a kombaya come to God

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>moment and is like, I want to spread love and peace.

0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 3>This same guy who would have had a kombaya come

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.360
<v Speaker 3>to come to Jesus moment when bitcoin was like eighty

0:04:02.400 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 3>six thousand dollars per coin. I don't think so. Something

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 3>shady is happening. Look, leave yourself out of it.

0:04:08.280 --> 0:04:10.320
<v Speaker 2>Sis. If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Now I say take the money and run. You're with
