Honestly Hexbear sharing the name with a crypto is funny as hell.

Imagine a techbro looking up Hexbear coin and stumbling across our little clown show

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 42 points 2 years ago

We're not in the circus with them.

They're in the circus with us joker-dancing

At least our HB name has some backstory. The shitcoin feels like the name was just some madlib generator spat it out.

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

As much as I hate to give them credit, it sounds like the name from the Hex block chain and Bear markets.

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I refuse to learn what that means (okay, I'll admit I know what a bear market is, but I refuse to learn what the Hex block chain is).

[–] Dr_Gabriel_Aby@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Crypto is Chuck e cheez coins on the internet, and I refuse to ever take a deeper analysis on that.

Check out this dope ass shitcoin

Reposting the time I worked at the Hexcoin launch event:

Hex Coin. I catered and waitered one of their events in a huge team in a super fancy building in central London last year. The event lasted about 12 hours and got increasingly out of hand with every hour that went by.

They made us make this ENORMOUS cake. I'm talking like, one square meter at least. But hex shaped and coloured. Later in the night I carried it onto the stage with a colleague (with a procession of cyborg strippers - more on that later) for the CEO to cut. He cut one slice and then told us to take the cake back to the kitchen because he didn't need it for more than that. An entire cake wasted. Me and my friends did our best to take as much of it home with us as we could, but there was still loads left that just got binned.

After prepping the food I went to do the meet and greet plus coats and bags rack. I'm on the door and everyone who comes through it gives me a spiel about why I should get into crypto. One guy asks me to make sure his bag is secure because he's got hard terabytes of sensitive information on his hard drives in his bag. The ones who didn't give me a spiel just ignored me. The only thank yous I got were from the programmer looking blokes - you know, the khaki shorts and stained olive drab t shirt look. They were generally quite shy so I guess just appreciated a friendly hello and reciprocated.

Anyway, the night goes on, im serving platters and carrying bags of ice to the VIP bar. Everything seems normal ish for a corporate event so far.

Then a guy wearing a suit (and top hat) covered in silver reflective plastic walks in to some knock-off daft punk sounding music. He's followed by about 10 women who are also dressed in this reflective stuff, but only in teeny bikinis. They come out and put on a crypto themed strip show, where the the main guy controls them with a remote, at which point I was called back to the kitchen to bring the cake on.

After that, the girls go to the VIP bar, and every time I go in there, there's a new slobbering cryptohead Andrew Tate prototype telling the girls how much money they make. By this point, most people are blind drunk.

I head to the bathroom that was pristine earlier, and it's trashed. It's full of dudes doing coke. A group of scousers are all throwing up all over the sink and floor. One guy is on the toilet doing hilariously loud fart/shits/sharts. The smell in there is ungodly. I do my business and exit as soon as possible.

From there it just gets continually lary, lots of glasses smashed, general rich dickery. Many of the odd things I saw that night have probably faded from my memory by now and been replaced by new stories of rich creeps. Like the time I catered and waitered for an old Etonian gentlemen's cravat/cognac club, or the russian tennis oligarchs, or the diamond auction golf dinner.

This makes me laugh like every single time. I do not understand where people get the idea that this shit actually works but it is completely pervasive among these types of guys. Among the rich horse-girls the response is an eyeroll because it's less than daddy, among the average it comes off as replacing personality with a wallet and only the women that see free shit in it for them go along with it, everyone else is repulsed.

I remember the first time I looked at the website for that coin it took so long to load I thought the page was broken or left blank.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Who keeps falling for this bullshit? I know people must be falling for it, but who the fuck are they?

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Beyond the name, it's funny how she clearly knows absolutely fucking nothing about this but:

-tries to inform people about it

-plans to spend money on it

Every "not a financial advisor" grifter shilling crypto on Youtube ever.

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

I am not a financial advisor. This is not financial advice.

they said the thing

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 6 points 2 years ago

hexbear is the feeling you get inside you when you look out into the world and see nothing but horrors beyond your wildest reckoning, and then the subsequent act of posting about owls with ibs online

it's that exact thing and nothing else

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They never ask how is Hexbear, cause my sinus is kinda inflamed deeper-sadness

[–] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

Can you put your sinuses on the blockchain? Didn't think so

Get your hexbears for the low, low price of 1/120,000th of a cent
