Millennial Thieves, How Do You Figure? (A mysterious message on the bathroom wall)
![854C390B-C4BA-46C7-9709-00746BCD2819.jpeg](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZ9GRGBUf76RkjJA32BJtdg2ThmmYjXZotUU1yErfYd8Q/854C390B-C4BA-46C7-9709-00746BCD2819.jpeg)

# I found this plastered to the bathroom wall at the Barnes & Noble in my hometown.

# On the sticker are the words: “millennial thieves” and “how do you figure?”

I don’t know if this is one, unified message, or if two different individuals wrote these messages at different times.

In the latter scenario, it could be that someone is criticizing users of Bitcoin as young, “millennial thieves,” and a second writer is responding with “how do you figure” in search of the rationale behind such an accusatory claim.

In the former scenario, it could be some catchphrase, the meaning and origin of which I’m not familiar with. Maybe being a “millennial thief” is a good thing in the mind of the messenger. I kind of like the ring of it.

# Could it be that, when those in power are crooks, the only righteous course of action is to become a “thief?”

# And when “money” can be printed ad infinitum, so it has no sound value, sound money is viewed as “stealing” by the crooks?

# I think so.

This is sone pretty profound thinking for bathroom graffiti:)

I think it was written by people not in Bitcoin, jealous of people who have made money in it. The people they see making money are millennials. If they are not included or choose not to participate then they rationalize "those" people must be shady or theives.

Just my theory, feel free to flush it:)

I kinda like and concur with your thoughts. What I find really intriguing is the fact that graffiti is mentioning Bitcoin in a toilet! I cannot imagine that this would have happened even just a short while ago. Seems it is hitting mainstream bigtime! xox

I would assume that the individual who wrote that is not into bitcoin or does not understand bitcoin. 

Although, I have never heard the term "millennial thieves" before. It is pretty catchy though.

I think it's pretty clear that most millennials have found themselves in a position that they have to do whatever it takes to make a living for themselves. I don't think most have resorted to any real kind of thievery, but I think it could appear that way based on how they are willing to fight for their stake.

I don't see how something like that can be viewed as theft really. How is bitcoin taking something from this guy anyway?

Ok, I have thought myself into a full circle on this one lol.  Pretty deep topic for the shitter!

  My guess is there are three individuals involved.   

   Number 1 slapped up a Bitcoin sticker in the stall.  He is a true believer, probably has a snickers bar in his pocket too, because he didn't realize that these would even melt?   He buys shoes with no laces.  He is hoping to make people more aware of bitcoin, so someday he can buy another snickers bar with bitcoin.

  Number 2 (haha - that's right, I said number 2 in the stall)...He feels that he is well educated because he watches the news.  While he's dropping the kids off at the pool, he decides to set this Millennial "sticker slapping slacker" straight by adding some well known facts that he has learned about bitcoin from the media.  Things like if it is allowed to continue, it will bring down the banking system, the economy, and probably his whole damned retirement plan.  He only has 4 more years until he can draw that pension.  Fuck these Millenial Thieves!!  He scribbles his "Millennial Thieves" note using his left hand to throw off the cops, in case they suspected him of it.  Unfortunatly he had to google Millennial for the correct spelling, and still spelled it wrong, then accidentally  wrote his third "L" in cursive.  Oh well, it will make it that much harder for anyone to figure out it was him, he thought. 

  Number 3: He notices the Bitcoin sticker, and the older guy's accusation of being a thief.  He is a little offended, as he considers himself a member of that group, and also has a Bitcoin wallet.  He is a thinker though, and is sort of happy to have something different to "ponder while he poops".
  He finally settles on adding the "how do you figure?" comment.  He poops here almost every day, so he is sort of hoping to start a dialogue with the guy.  He wonders if it is his boss?

  Great idea for a post @kafkanarchy84!

Haha..thanks @kafkanarchy84.  I might have had too much time ⌚ on my hands yesterday.

  A classic stall proverb: "He who writes on bathroom walls, rolls his shit in little balls."  
  "He who reads these words of wit, eats those little balls of shit!"

Oh, I remember having long, highly philosophical conversations with some random stranger at the shitters when I was last deployed in Iraq.  Every day I would go to my favorite porcelain throne eagerly expecting to read what were probably the best stress relieving notes of the time.  I would reply in kind with my own series of afterthoughts.  I mean we talked about life, family, perpetual motion, the huge (and incredibly well-shaped) tits on the girl working behind the counter at supply (and what chances we possibly had to get taste of that). I think bathroom writing is inspirational, it should be a requirement for all governments to use this technique, maybe they could achieve more meaningful things while they're writing on the door and pushing out a big brown log.
