TikTok is really creating problems in this space.

I watch tt videos that come up on IG, giving me one level of protection from being sucked in šŸ˜„
My daughter has a successful brick and mortar vintage clothing store and her tt videos are a fun advertising tool. I've thought about jumping on for what I do, but it's a lot of work and I'm an ocd perfectionist so I never get past the idea stage. Story of my life.

Yeah I was gonna post videos of my foster dogs. They did get views, but no adoptions.
 
Im in HK's Discord and the sheer amount of dumbfuckery in there...

the whole 'Im just a girl' vibe these TT creators are bringing stupid(uneducated) people into the peptide world is just as terrifying as it is annoying.

just oceans of people I would never give a source to, and as a source would never do business with.

"Why do I have to pay shipping AND a tariff?"
"How many MGs in an ML?"
"Which peptide should I get for energy"
"Oh, you should use ____"(non-expert to non-expert)

Bella has way more patience than i do.

Why even bother thinking about never mind worrying about this stuff?

Focus on the things you can control in your own lives, not what anyone on TokTok, MySpace or anywhere else says and does.

Doing otherwise is like trying to tell water to stop being wet.

Myspace, Zippity? Really? šŸ¤­

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 thatā€™s excessive butā€¦ scary times!

Yah I plan to stock up on a few high dose kits of reta and tirz during my next buy just in case.

They've got to earn that affiliate commission somehow now that their followers have been finding out about cheap Chinese vendors. Domestic vendor affiliate commissions just doesn't cut it anymore.

HK, Ou, SSA, Zztai, ZLZ, and others all pay out commissions to influencers in the pep space.

I didnā€™t know SSA and HK do too! Do they have discount links through affiliates?!

Usually it's just sales through a group that the influencer has set up with their partnered "vetted" vendor. The commission isn't necessarily disclosed.
Sometimes it's the opposite of a discount and the price list within an influencer affiliate group will be marked up to cover the influencer's commission šŸ˜¬

I definitely recognize some of those screenshots but without names I'm so lost from where šŸ˜‚ Unless you're just posting them everywhere!

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"

Number 4 is why I havenā€™t wanted to get into crypto. Iā€™m perfectly fine with exchange rates, Iā€™ve lived in several countries around the world so thatā€™s fine. But to make an exchange and then it changes againā€¦ just donā€™t see how itā€™s better.

which is why its an argument for using stable coins.

But it's not "changing again" it's just 2 transactions that involve an exchange rate. I go to mexico a lot. Some of the businesses I deal with only list their prices in USD because that's their primary customers. But they only accept MXN. Meaning I need to buy MXN at one exchange rate and pay them later at another exchange rate.

With stable coins the exchange rate is always 1:1 with USD. that's their entire purpose.

Key thing is to get out of the stable coins ASAP. I.e. use them quickly and then convert to something else or don't hold crypto. Tether and similar other stables have never proven their assets/solvency. Could be 1 year, could be 10, but someday there will be a rush and they will go down.

This is true for all currency.

Government currencies have the full force of the military behind them. They donā€™t really make claims on reserves. Tether claims they have reserves that they probably donā€™t. So tether is a fiat currency without an army to back it up.

And that describes the majority of currencies. But we're getting way off point. No one is suggesting you put your life savings into it. Just that it's perfectly fine to use it for transactions.

I took time last week, am learning how to use crypto, only for buying.

SNL is so weirdly proprietary with their videos, I just removed the link from my comment. I had a hard time finding a link, but if you look up 'SNL bitcoin sketch' it really is very funny, just seems to only be carried on some IG and FB accounts.

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 donā€™t receive their products in 7 days or less initiate PayPal disputes, Alibaba disputes, go on TikTok and whip up hysteria. Itā€™s legit creating a domino effect.

Another big issue is these newbies who know nothing fighting against the ā€œgatekeepersā€ 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 didnā€™t need or want the extra publicity. They choose how to advertise. Iā€™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 arenā€™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 donā€™t go there way flip out and spread massive amounts of misinformation.

There are bad things that will result. However, more folks using grey will cause increased manufacturing and folks involved in sales. That should lower the price even more than it has already fallen.
