Ba Er Ye Is Selling Beef in the US? The Day He Called Bitcoin a Scam, I Laughed My Ass Off!

You think crypto big shots are all busy fleecing the masses? Wrong! Ba Er Ye, once China's self-proclaimed "Bitcoin billionaire," is now selling beef in Texas. Here's the kicker: he said live on stream, "Bitcoin is a scam, I stopped believing long ago." The next day? Bitcoin crashed 30%.

But plot twist: this "traitor" actually hoarded 20,000 Bitcoins back in 2014 (worth over 10 billion RMB today). His beef farm? He heats it using excess heat from Bitcoin mining. Even crazier, he just quietly turned it into a "Bitcoin-themed steakhouse," with a menu that says: "Eat a steak, get 0.001 BTC free."

When asked why beef, he grinned: "Can't fleece the sheep anymore, so I'm switching to cows. Either way, they're all cattle—what's the difference which one I butcher?"
