I'm u/bornluckiest you're local tinfoil-hat wearing story-teller with a round-up of the latest conspiracy theory revolving around the Wu-Tang Clan NFT.
Quick 101
- In 2014 the "Wu-Tang Clan", one of the most influential hip-hop groups in history, produced an album but only ever released a 'single' copy of it.
- The album, called "Once Upon a Time in Shaolin" was produced as a rebellion against cheap copies and piracy and fraud of digitised media.
- It was the follow-on to the album "A Better Tomorrow" (Lyrics) (If you have the time you should listen and read those lyrics to get an idea about what this 'follow-on' album is about!)
- It's a double album consisting of 31-tracks, it reportedly has many unexpected featured mainstream artists, eg. Cher. (Wu-Tang ft. Cher ... WTF?)
- It was produced in a priceless/unique silver jewel-encrusted box with leather bound notes.
- The "one copy" toured museums, galleries and music festivals before being sold in 2015 for $2m.
- Martin Shkreli who bought the album was later convicted of Fraud, and got 7-years for a naked short selling scam.
(Thankfully, he's still inside! He's the scumbag who bought rights to the medicine Daraprim and then hike'd the price from $13 to $750!) - The album was then later seized as 'proceeds of crime' and sold, rumour to be for around $7.4m, to cover the costs of damages that Shkreli had to pay. (It may have been sold for less)
- The album and case features in Skrillex's "Fuck That" video, at time point 4:20, you can see how special this item is: https://youtu.be/Ka7wBGFSuSE?t=260
- The terms of ownership are complex - it can never be sold commercially for 88-years.
- It's widely considered to be the most expensive album in the world.
Side Fact: Did you know the guy who originally bought this album was coke buddies with Cramer?
How is this the catalyst?
If you study the above background you should clearly understand the story of that unique item, how it is SO special.

By now its clear, not even speculation at this point, we have an unannounced partnership with Binance and their new Bifinity Digital wallet. Source #1 Highlights: “Bifinity Digital Wallet service provided to you by Binance UAB (“Bifinity”), Paysafe Payment Service Limited (“Paysafe”)”……“fiat (government issued) currency services provided by Paysafe for the correct functioning of the Bifinity Digital Wallet, including all processing necessary to facilitate: deposits with credit card, bank wire, instant banking and other alternative payment methods (APMs); withdrawals by the same methods; handling chargebacks and other processes for returning funds; debiting and crediting your Bifinity Digital Wallet balance with your transactions; handling transactions and exchanging information with Bifinity to manage fiat transactions related to your cryptocurrency (crypto) trades i.e. when you buy and sell crypto currency using fiat currency;”
Source 2 Highlights: “service is provided to you by Bifinity UAB (“Bifinity”), Paysafe Payment Services Limited and Skrill Limited (together “Paysafe”)). Bifinity and Paysafe (collectively referred to as “we”, “us” and “our”) work together to provide you with the ability to turn currency into cryptocurrency (and back again), by linking Bifinity Digital Wallet service provided by Paysafe to your existing Bifinity account”…..”Paysafe provides the functions of the Bifinity Digital Wallet that give you the ability to add and withdraw fiat (government issued) currency to the Bifinity Digital Wallet by whichever method you choose from the available options, and to make trades to and from cryptocurrency using that currency. Paysafe Payment Solutions Limited provides this service to customers in the UK and Skrill Limited provides this service to customers in the EEA” Towards the end of this we are given “Bifinity’s Privacy Notice” and “Paysafe’s Bifinity Digital Wallet Privacy Notice”, interesting to note that Bifinitys is hot linked to more information while Paysafes “doesn’t exist” yet..? My take is that they are trying to keep things under wrap until announcement. Also just generally shitty market conditions all around.

Greetings,
Wanted to ask if anyone has an experience using this app and paying via digital wallets. Last time I paid using a regular credit card at the pump, it tracked within 2 days with no issues.
This time I paid using the gas station's app/digital payment, so it asked me to submit a receipt. I submitted the receipt and the amount is still pending. This purchase was made back on December 26th.
Is there just an unusually long pending time for this or am I SOL? Thanks!
UPDATE ON 1/6: It didn't credit and I never got the rewards. Bummer.
During September 2021 El Salvator formally started accepting Bitcoin as legal tender and continues to be on the forefront of the move to mass crypto adoption. Today, President Nayib Bukele announced that Bitcoins presence in his country is so prolific that the number of citizens using digital wallets has outgrown those that have traditional bank accounts.

During the initial stages of the transition to Bitcoin as a legally accepted currency, the Central American nation was the target of heavy criticism. Many leaders around the globe warned El Salvador that there would be monetary consequences of his country’s foray into digital currencies. President Burkele doubled down in the face of doubt and cited the large portion of his country’s populace without access to any form of a banking system, over 70% at the time, as his main motivation for supporting the switch to Bitcoin.
The transition to Bitcoin was not immediately seen as a victory by the citizens of El Salvador as protests, some violent, arose in opposition to Bitcoins adoption, but things quickly changed and the country and its people have rapidly seen the benefits of adopting Bitcoin as a financial tool to empower the masses.
El Salvador has ramped up its efforts to add additional features to its Bitcoin network and has already deployed hundreds of Bitcoin ATMs. The country has also been aggressive in buying any dips to Bitcoin’s price, adding over 800 Bitcoins when the valuation fell into the $30k-$40k range. Bitcoin’s price quickly recovered from the previously stated lows allowing El Salvador the financial flexibility to redistribute its earnings to construct new schools and hospitals while improving its infrastructure.
Other countries around the world have taken notice of El Salvador’s approach to take its financial future into its own hands via digital currencies and are quickly taking notes. While other nations are adding the ability to blend cryptocurrencies into their existing financial ecosystems, El Salvador remains the prime example of the benefits that Bitcoin can have as a vehicle to re-engineer the finances of an entire country.
As most of the world’s superpowers continue to show their support for Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies as a whole, it’s entirely possible that more nations decide to follow suit with El Salvador’s strategy of building wealth.
