Yakuza Bkdk: The Credit Card Switcharoo Part 1

It’s a chance encounter where Katsuki bumps into skinny, green haired guy that looks like he hasn’t slept for days. The resulting collision results with both of their wallets and the contents to spill onto the ground.

Katsuki curses while the skinny man apologizes profusely.

He ignores him, hoping his dragon and tiger tattoos would spook the man off as he gathers his stuff. Gladly they did, the green haired man hightails it away from the blond Yakuza member. After this, Katsuki goes to buy himself cigarettes… Only for his card to decline.

“What the fuck…?!” Katsuki glances down at his card and notices that while it has the same All Might print, it’s not his name on it.

It belongs to a Midoriya Deku.

He grinds his teeth, thinking back to the green haired man he met earlier.

He must of rammed into Katsuki on purpose and stole his card!!

Katsuki’s going to find that bastard and get his fucking card back before that thief drains his bank account.

Meanwhile, Midoriya Izuku, in his sleep deprived mind after working 8 days straight at his crummy warehouse job, is attempting to get himself something to eat from a hot meal vending machine.

Izuku wonders why he even bothers. His card always gets declined even if he attempts to get the cheapest thing on the machine.

To his surprise, his transaction goes through and he almost cries when he gets his favorite flavor of cup ramen. The warmth of the broth and noodles fills his stomach up.

Stomach satisfied for now, he believes it’s a fluke from the machine and it giving him a free meal.

To sleepy to pay attention to the name on the card as he slips it into his wallet, he makes his way to his home.

Which is his car that has seen better days.

Laying down in the backseat that is uncomfortably lumpy all over, he uses a bag full of shredded newspapers as a pillow.

He snuggles underneath a thin blanket and an extra jacket he knows to keep warm.

Not knowing his world is going to completely change…

It’s been three days since Katsuki’s card had been stolen. He had planned on locking his card, but he wants to see what this thief is buying and where he is buying the items from to get a better location.

So far, to his surprise, most the purchases are from cheap vending machines.

One vending machine even being one of those hot meal ones.

Besides those, no exuberant charges are placed. For a thief who stole a card with an account with over 3,000,000 ¥, he’s seems to be cheap.

And so far, no one has been able to locate a Midoriya Deku.

“Are you sure you’re reading the name right?” remarks his right hand man, Kirishima. “You may be good with guns, mathematics, and other things, you are not the best at… reading well.”

Katsuki glares at him.

“Fuck off.”

Kirishima shrugs. “At least let me see the card and read the name.”

Katsuki begrudgingly hands over the card. The red haired man takes it and glances down at it, reading it. Then he clamps down his lips, trying so hard not to burst out laughing. But a few giggles slip out.

The blond doesn’t take to kindly to this. “What?! What’s so damn-“

“His name isn’t Midoriya Deku, it’s Midoriya Izuku.”

Katsuki feels like he’s falling into a pit of embarrassment at such an error. And it seems it doesn’t end because Kaminari, Kirishima’s boyfriend, is also sitting at the long table Katsuki situated himself at to investigate. It doesn’t even take a second for the electric blond to start laughing his ass off.

“Oh my Gods!! Hahaha!!” Kaminari laughs, holding his stomach. “The great Bakugou “The Red Eyed Dragon” Katsuki making such a blunder is hilarious!! Hahaha-AHHH!!!”

He couldn’t take it the moron’s laughing. Katsuki practically launches across the table at Kaminari, about to strangle him. But the little shit is quick and hightails it to hide behind his mountain of a boyfriend.

Katsuki seethes. “Come out from behind him, you coward!”

“Kirishima, protect me!” yells Kaminari, still hiding behind his boyfriend to get away from Katsuki’s clutches.

“Whoa! Whoa!” says Kirishima, holding his hands up in order to placate the red eyed blond. “No killing boyfriends here. What we have to focus on is that we now know this thief’s true name.” He clasps his hand on Katsuki’s shoulder, giving him a sharp toothed grin. “So we can go and find him much faster and easier than before.”

Katsuki begins to calm at this.

Right.

That green haired thief will pay for stealing what’s his!

There’s no telling by now what this thief is cooking up to buy with Katsuki’s money next.

“Alright. Tell everyone to look for a Midoriya Izuku and report his whereabouts to me ASAP!”

Kirishima and Kaminari nod their heads.

“Yes sir!”

Izuku sneezes.

“Achoo!!” He covers his mouth with his elbow, sniffing a little.

“Bless you!” says his coworker Hatsume Mei. Both of them are covered in grease from loading car parts and other metal objects into boxes; they should be shipping out right about not to their destinations. “Someone must be talking about you.”

He playfully rolls his eyes. It’s an old superstition that people still spread about.

“Don’t know who would be talking about me though…,” he mumbles to himself.

But then only one person comes to mind…

And it makes Izuku’s skin crawl.

The Old Guard Loves Big Accounts. Crypto Loves Everyone

If you are a resident of North America, you no doubt take for granted the banking system which allows us to send and receive funds through many of the regulated institutions. While this topic may not even seem worth discussing in comparison to other pursuits, there are many places around the world that are not afforded such a necessity. Consider for a moment not being able to receive payment, pay bills or transfer funds in the manner we are accustomed to. All of a sudden this 'insignificant' item becomes very important in your life as without the banking system as we know it, things start to get challenging. This very issue is at the heart of many countries with a large 'unbanked' population, but which have persevered in novel and innovative ways, none more so than cryptocurrency. Teaching An Old Dog New Tricks Taking a basic example of swapping a good or service for a unit of monetary value (i.e. Dollars, Pesos or Yen), if you wish to purchase a bag of apples, the process would be fairly straight-forward. You would go to the local market, pick out your apples, and buy them with your debit or credit card (or fiat-currency). Taking this same situation to a non-banked location, the same bag of apples may be the same, but the payment could be done either with cash, or a via digital assets such as XRP. Where on the one hand, the traditional 'bank' method may be simple, there are transaction fees associated (especially with credit cards), as the old-fashioned system has intermediaries which take a cut for your convenience. Back over at the 'un-banked' use-case with the XRP token, the transaction occurred from one wallet address to another in a matter of seconds, without any middleman or additional fees, other than the base crypto transaction fee which was a fraction of a penny. Let Them Play Their Games Did it have to be this way? No, but since the major financiers are dead-set on serving only the market that makes them comfortable, the 'others' around the world will just have to shut up and take it. But, by their actions, this has opened up a door where many of the population who have used crypto to transact for goods and services would rather continue to utilize this form of value. Why? Because it's too much of a bother to try to fit a square peg in a round hole via the old way, not to mention being eaten alive by ridiculous fees. Cryptocurrency, be it XBT, XRP or whatever token or coin strikes your fancy doesn't care about you or I... it just does what it does, which is refreshing as unlike the 'Member's Only' form of banking, crypto is no respecter of persons, treating everyone equally - including the high-financiers by the way. Is it any wonder why for these reasons alone this asset class keeps growing in popularity?

When you take into account the growth that occurred post-2017, the old-school bankers rose up and took notice and quickly sprung into action by formulating their plan, which is a blueprint for massive gain (for them) and a campaign of fear for us. The good news for the masses is that the news for the 'classes' is being put into proper context as the song they have been singing for years has not changed one IOTA (pardon the pun). Mass Deflection And Protesting Math Daniel Boorstin once proclaimed that the greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance, but rather the illusion of knowledge. For those that have been in the crypto space for some time, hearing the incumbent financiers talk of the evils, perils, or even stupidity of Bitcoin is about as accurate as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. If you believe them, you fall prey to their game of bait-and-switch so common on the traditional news outlets saying un-truths like 'forget the Bitcoin fad - just stick with gold'. What many hear is that this rich dude on TV who is to be trusted deserves my attention (and vote) rather than the YouTuber that is showing us an alternative with crypto. Sadly, there are too many folks who blindly follow the news of the 1% and are unwilling to look under the hood at the facts by investing time in R&D and instead just take the low-road, which is by design as they got to where they did by convincing us to relinquish REAL assets in an effort to lower the price, so they can buy more... and then rinse-and-repeat. Going back to the 'just stick with gold' malarkey, which is one of the most common games the power-grabbers play, let's consider the plain, unfiltered facts, using a simple calculation of a gold-vs-Bitcoin performance metric since the dawn of thew new digital asset:

As per the Gold Return Calculator, If you invested US$1 in gold when Bitcoin started trading in July of 2010, you would have US$1.64 today (Dec. 2023).

As per StatMuse, if you invested $1 in Bitcoin at the same time you invested in gold, you would net a return of a whopping US$878,400 today.

Now of course the ones telling us to avoid crypto and look where they want you to look and not 'there', would never admit to this obvious difference in performance, and the reason is as simple as time immemorial. The are 'banking' on the fact that the majority will have their attention captured for just a brief moment in time and quickly go to other news so the consumers will not have the time to let the information sink-in and allow the mind to process it. These are not stupid people. Their actions are deliberate, carefully planned with an obvious end-game, and when the 'jig is up', they will proclaim how great crypto is and to buy from them, but when this happens, the opportunity for sizeable gains will be gone because there is no more risk. Looking at crypto for what it is, the final say on it is that it cannot be controlled by Governments, Kings or Dictators because there is no 'throat to choke', due to it's pseudononymous make-up. This new form of value can be transferred by anyone with a smartphone, digital wallet, and that's about it. If you're a newcomer to the space, the best advice is to keep your wits about you, and do the prudent, unpopular thing by taking the high road in doing your own research. It doesn't take a lot of time, and if you invest just 15 minutes a day, it won't take long until you are able to see the glass hidden in the grass. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Title Image by Shnick | Rise of Satoshi graphic by The Bitcoin Therapist | Quote by Morrissey
