TikTok is really creating problems in this space.

[Skidude]

My poor fat vagina makes me incapable of crypto. Practically a disability.

I am not sure if I wanted to laugh or propose..
But that is the best sentence I have read in a while! 🤣 💍 🥰

I totally get the problem and am not sure how to avoid it. Maybe the vendors need to do Crypto only on 1st purchase.
I think we are in the midst of changes that may help mitigate the issues here, but it is tough to control.
I do feel for those folks who are, legitimately, needing to solve a real life problem and get the meds they need; and most of those take it more seriously.

I wrote a poem about it~

This is great - absolutely golden 🤣

…But I agree (and hope, and hopefully not too optimistic) this this is just a phase and in the end we’ll end up with a better system and market place for it!!

 

[Edboy]

Agreed. I dont post much anywhere, but always read and learn. Been actively stocking up for 6 months now. Will be satisfied at 3-4 year supply.

It's not just the surcharge but the added risk of getting Roached. Our infamous insect friend who ripped off a ton of people by being their middleman.

1) No, he means buyers prefer stable coins so the value doesn't cause them to lose money during the transaction. (see #4)

2/3) You are just dead wrong on this one. It also applies to any other regulated account like paypal. It has happened to many people. It has absolutely nothing to do with the size of the transaction but the destination wallet.

4) Good luck with that. Most vendors want the price as stated in USD. So there isn't an "agreed upon bitcoin amount" there is an agreed upon USD amount and I've seen it go wrong for people that didn't understand why their 500 was only worth 400 before they were able to send it.

5) This one just feels like you aren't a native english speaker? If so that's fine. But otherwise he was literally saying "it's not really that hard, but seems intimidating at first"

I will always remember this moment, when Zippity zpped pushed back on me and TheSavante in the very same reply 😂

I, uh... how you doin?

We both know I think crypto is hard and I think you're hot shit. But I'm not passing up on the opportunity to insult a misogynist.

Can someone say this louder? Thank you for posting.

We've gone so far off the rails that I forgot what the topic was. 😂😂😂

I think Pekcura Labs is domestic. They are stupid expensive though.

Holy mother of God they make everyone look affordable. They must just want to cater to the wealthy clientele that need convenience and are easily pacified by paper.

All I have to say about TT is that it truly is a problem now w/ all the unboxing videos. It’s just unreal! Isn’t TT only paying them Pennie’s per video? Maybe their goal is to sell on the TT shop? That’s got to be what it is. All those Bellie Wellies peeps. 🐥

 

[Laniebug007]

Heads up on a someone named ‘kimber your peptide bestie’ on TT. She tells people to contact her for vendor info & is then rude as hell when…she can’t read! 🙄 It’s very unfortunate for anyone new coming across her account. She is confusing many, based on her complaining about 350 DM’s/comments content.

(I have receipts!)

Unfortunately, she is just one of many. I just did a very basic Google search and 5 others appear with her as top videos.

The amount of sheer buffoonery on TikTok I fear is creating massive problems with vendors and also leading to the quality control, payment option limitations and other insane shenanigans we are seeing.

And this is mostly coming from uneducated newbies, all demanding vendor lists without any research or understanding how the market works. The way these people act toward these vendors are appalling and then when they don’t receive their products in 7 days or less initiate PayPal disputes, Alibaba disputes, go on TikTok and whip up hysteria. It’s legit creating a domino effect.

Another big issue is these newbies who know nothing fighting against the “gatekeepers” saying everyone should have this information and publicly sharing all the vendors in massive lists, with contact information thinking they are white knighting for the market.

The vendors didn’t need or want the extra publicity. They choose how to advertise. I’ve had several of my reps begging folks to please stop.

I fear this is only going to get worse. Customs is cracking down. FDA is cracking down. Costs are shifting. Payment options becoming more limited.

The market will survive. It always does. But it may look quite different and the people who refuse to educate themselves aren’t doing anyone any favors.

Sorry needed to rant. So freaking frustrated at the idiocy I am seeing. People want everything served up to them without knowing the ins and outs, treat it like China Amazon and then when things don’t go there way flip out and spread massive amounts of misinformation.

I think the world as a whole would be much better off without tiktok!

I made sure to locate 3rd party COAs and print them, attaching them to the stock. 😉

This is an excellent idea. 👏

Then you'd fall under "the rest".

I know crypto and the prospect of irreversibility can be scary. I have gone through the paces with it and last year and made a walkthrough for beginners buying crypto (USDT-SOL) to pay vendors.
I will soon(ish) be updating it and will post it here. It's not the end-all be-all of crypto, but it is a step by step guide with screenshots and big red circles and arrows to direct you.

This is a stellar idea. My vendor has instructions for crypto but they are not workable in the UK, sadly.

As has been said before, it would be nice to know what our future maintenance dose would be. So even a one year supply of a max dose could last four years (like 12 mg of reta vs 3 mg).

For GLPs, it seems most of the gray veterans here already have a significant backup, like at least two to three years, and even more than that, depending on future dosing.

I bought again because I did the math. Since my last count a while ago at a much lower dose, I went from 5 years to 2. I want at least 3 years, ideally 4. I know that’s excessive but… scary times!

Paying with a credit card is much simpler than buying/swapping/sending crypto, no doubt.
But doing so to facilitate a chargeback in case something goes wrong is a problem and needs to stop.

I don’t see anyone saying that’s why they use a CC. That’s not why I use it.

I use CC because I can’t be bothered to learn and deal with crypto, too many steps and options for my ADHD brain such that I’m bound to mess it up, and my vendor is close enough to crypto vendors where there’s little to no benefit to me to using it.

We are all comfortable on what we choose for ourselves. Should something change down the line, we can choose to move with or move on. It all depends on someone's comfort level all around.

No one mentions the real reason I use a credit card or paypal. I can spread out those payments.

Exactly. I hate to keep hiding behind my level one autism, but things like crypto literally make my brain melt. I get that it’s easy for some, but it is the exact type of thing that someone with my brain wiring is going to fail. And crypto is not forgiving. Accidentally type in the wrong thing and your money is gone forever. That’s crazy! For the time being, I’ll stick with crypto “helpers.” I know that’s risky, too, but at least if I get screwed I’ll know exactly why.

Wait .... are we allowed to be openly poor here?

Hot damn, I'm in!! 🥳
