Cw: animal abuse

If someone was trying to sell an old or sick horse and pass it off as younger or healthier they'd cut the skin off a finger of ginger and put it in the horse's butt. The burning and discomfort would make the agitated horse seem more active and energetic than it really was.

I don't know how you could relate that to bitcoin but they are both scams.

I read "finger of a ginger, and was like damn, bad time to have ginger hair

I forgot all about figging, except I had never heard of people doing it to horses.

But yours isn't a pyramid scheme

Point.

What if we trained the horses to water-ski and had them stand on top of each other. In a pyramid?
