I used to work in defense contracting and ended up with a couple of coins from some colonel or other I found one earlier this week when cleaning and literally was like "why the hell do I still have this useless thing" and threw it in the garbage so anyway that's my challenge coin story

the only isis-themed challenge coins i can find are the predictable KILL AND MURDER THE ISIS PEOPLE OFFICIAL COIN ones but i did find out that isis minted their own currency for a while which seems perfectly sized for this use: i also found this one which is very confusing  and this one which shows your militaristic support for your favorite... brand i guess?  also after scrolling down a few pages of google image results for "isis challenge coin" a picture of bitcoins came up, bringing the whole thing full circle

the first bitcoin picture returned by "communist challenge coin" lead to this not at all fake news article about how wonderful bitcoin ox is and how you should be using it https://newconomy.media/news/bitcoin-ox-will-transform-coin-trading quote:Bitcoin Ox offers great security for an online wallet. Since launch, there have been no reports of security breaches and this is likely to be the case for good. In the world of crypto wallets, there is no two ways of going about it. A vulnerable wallet is simply a sitting duck with lethal hackers and thieves picking their shots. In this sense, it is paramount to have a wallet that prioritizes security. With this, a user can actually get to worry about their next investment rather than the safety of their assets. wow i sure am glad this online wallet comes with no reports of security breaches and safety from lethal hackers quote:The wallet is also excellent for asset management. This is because of a unique tailor-made algorithm that makes Bitcoin OX uniquely efficient for the trading process. These algorithms provide reliable information that enables a user to predict changes in market trends more accurately. As such, users have at their disposal a trade hack that is unique to this wallet. This is one feature that you can legitimately say enhances your trading capabilities. Soon, users will be able to export their transaction history and import Electrum standard seed. "trade hack"

Lutha Mahtin posted:is it true that like military generals have an assistant trailing them so the assistant can hand out a coin to everyone the general shakes hands with I've never seen this, but there are high ranking military members that give them away. A lot of people collect them from the various units they were in. A funny experience I did have regarding these stupid loving challenge coins was the battalion commander of the unit I was in at the time telling the dudes in my team and I how he appreciated the hard work we did running an indoc, and how he wants to show us his appreciation by giving us a CUSTOM MADE coin he "rarely gives away." Then this mother fucker pulled a gallon sized zip lock bag full of them out of his desk, and gave each of us one like a piece of Halloween candy. None of us liked the guy since a few months before this, he said how he thought our community was full of prima donnas, and before the coin hand off he came up with some lame rear end excuse on why he didn't do pt with us, pointing to the ruck he packed for the day as proof he was ready. The dude was a huge fuckin' loser, and probably invests in bitcoin today. elite_garbage_man fucked around with this message at 21:02 on Dec 20, 2019 |
