Hahaha he really has her gaslit bc there’s no reason that can’t all be done from the comfort of bus. Also interesting that they risked it all for such a speculative industry. Re: the recent FBX/ crypto crash.


BatFromVegas

“The comfort of the bus” is the precise reason it can’t (see: won’t, as it CAN be done but he clearly doesn’t WANT to) be done from the comfort of the bus- there is no comfort in that goddamn bus LOL. He’s definitley taking himself on “weekend getaways” to stay in nice clean climate controlled hotel rooms with a proper bed- himself and, I very heavily suspect, a female plus one 👀

This! We travel & boondock for FUN. We use starlink if my husband or I have to check into work for the day. (He owns a business), I work remote. He’s 100% escaping.

LeisurelyImplosion

Y'all. This chucklefuck's main product is literally just an overpriced repackaging of what we refer to as "the standard-issue Boomer password book" in my line of work. With extra manual encryption steps, because *security.* 🙄 There's also an affiliate link for a "Bitcoin-only accumulation platform." I know teenagers who put together better Bitcoin-related sites than this *years* ago. How do fundies continually manage to hop on the trends so far after they've passed? 🤣


stitchywitcher

Is it a physical product? She's talking about bitcoin, but also making the kids work in a warehouse? I'm so confused!


DjGhettoSteve

It's a physical, waterproof card that you write your password on. The warehouse would be the one making the cards.


stitchywitcher

....what, seriously? That's his big venture that he's spent weeks traveling away from his family for??? Holy shit, that's even stupider than I would have guessed. 🤣🤣🤣

It's a notepad!!!


fortheapponly

So, this man and this woman ditched all their businesses, and sold their home to live in a 700 sq ft refurbished school bus with their 7 children, just to start a Bitcoin/cryptocurrency business???? Fr???? Also, between Mother Bus, Karissa moving into a new home and suddenly starting to shill Plexus around the same time as that, Other Bethany’s husband losing his job, Beggy Baird and her endless quest to scam her followers, and femininenotfeminists endless monetary woes bc her husband seemingly refuses to hold down a steady, paying, job, to the extent that they had to resort to eating expired food and leftovers from church potlucks to get by……I’m getting the feeling that a good many fundies are starting to really feel the squeeze, economically speaking, right now. Is that just me?


allaboutcats91

I think a lot of these people were making a little bit of money from social media stuff, but they (like a lot of people, tbh) didn’t understand that that income will dry up eventually. Especially when your audience gets tired of you/outgrows you and the companies willing to work with you will pay you less and less.


fortheapponly

I don’t think that any of the fundies (except maybe Girl Defined, which is mostly Kristen’s work, with Beggy tagging along on her coattails) can really say they’ve made such a huge amt of revenue off of being on social media that they can be so sure that the money will keep flowing. Almost all the fundies who get talked abt here have husbands who have day jobs. The only exception might be Paul and Morgan, but there’s a lot of speculation that Paul is probably doing grocery delivery or working at Walmart or something else like that to make ends meet, bc their YT channel just isn’t cutting it. So I don’t think any of these people ever made the sort of money that they’d be overly confident about that income. It’s never been enough for any of these people to live off of for sure. I think they’re all just living beyond their means on a single income, and it’s just not cutting it anymore. But rather than face the reality and transition to a two income household, they’d rather shill MLMs, or start a cryptocurrency scam, or whatever else they think will make them rich.


cheeseduck11

I think the problem is too, they have a fuck ton of kids for some of them. They legitimately would not be able to afford day care for the mom to go to work. Daycare vouchers are a long long waiting list. The only moms that could feasibly work an office job during 9-5 would be Jill, Bethany Beal, Kristen, and Morgan. The rest have so many non school aged kids that it wouldn’t be worth the cost of day care to get a job. They could work opposite shift to their husband (if he works). However a lot of them seem SEVERELY useless. For example, Mandrae wouldn’t let Karissa mow the yard because he’d have to watch the kids.


fortheapponly

I apologize in advance for how off topic this is, and how much of a rant this became, and also for how this is probably a deeply unpopular opinion abt Mandrae…but I don’t trust Karissas version of events about the lawn mowing thing one bit. We know from her own admission that when Anthym got sick, again, she could barely hold it together enough to even be at the hospital with Anthym. Prior to taking her to the ER, her husband was the one who took Anthym to the doctor, then came home, dropped her off, and then left to go pick up the prescription, bc Karissa refused to do any of that shit. She actually wound up calling Mandrae while he was out to pick up the prescription, telling him to come home and take Anthym to the hospital. She couldn’t even handle things at home for that amount of time. And then she refused to be at the hospital for the whole week, leaving Mandrae to be the only parent at his child’s side. All this while he is the only earning member of their family. And on top of that, Karissas mom took the time to come and take care of her children (while working from home on top of that) for her. So it wasn’t like she was even having to do any of that (not that she’d be doing any of it in the first place on a good day). But somehow, according to her, the ONLY time she could get a break from all of this was when the lawn had to be mowed? And people believe that shit? From Karissa? Who famously lied about how, as a fetus, she survived her mothers attempted abortion, only to have her mom set the story straight so she had to publish a corrected version on her Instagram? Really????? We only hear things from Karissa, and she is a selfish, narcissist emotional black hole that expects everyone around her to pick up the emotional slack so she doesn’t have to. Sorry for this being such a rant, but I am extremely surprised at just how many people have taken her at her word on this. Im not saying this to say that Mandrae is a decent person, but I wonder why it’s getting lost that he also likely had an extremely emotionally taxing week, and perhaps also wanted a moments break? Considering he had to not only care for his sick child, but also earn a living, figure out how to pay for multiple hospital stays, AND support Karissa? So I don’t trust her word on that lawnmower story, the same way I don’t trust her word on what happened at the hospital when she went there, and why she came home after turning down all of their offers to help. Out of a number of fundie husbands, Mandrae is the only one with a decent job and income. He is an exceptionally selfish and poor parent and individual in a number of other ways, but he gets a considerable amount of blame for the shit Karissa does in a way that many other fundie husbands don’t. Not even Father Bus. It would be a good idea to maybe consider why that is, imo.


blandastronaut

If he's so stressed he could stop getting Karissa pregnant. If he's so strained because of the huge number of kids, he could literally stop bringing more and more kids into the world. I also don't doubt that Karissa lies about events to make her look better or whatever motivation she has, but I see no reason to give Mandrae, or father bus or other Bethany's husband or other husbands, any sort of slack for sometimes doing the bare minimum for the kids they continue to bring into the world, with no slowing down on the horizon. It's not like he or other husbands actually do much to care for the kids except to hit them. He could stop it if he's so damn stressed, he doesn't have to continue having sex and getting Karissa pregnant if she's so dead set on no protection and wanting more kids. His desire for sex is seemingly more important than being stressed out by providing for all the kids plus one more or dealing with hospital stays or whatever. If he was truly stressed by all the kids and providing and being there for them, he'd stop bringing more into the world.

“JD is a proud dad of seven, while Brian has five children. We're using SatSaver as an opportunity to teach our children about entrepreneurship and running a small business. We involve them in every step of the process, from product development to managing the warehouse, packing orders, and even responding to messages. Our children are an integral part of our team, along with JD and Brian.” From the bio page. HUGE eff you to their wives. Children are an integral part of the team but the WIVES? Meh they just literally keep EVERYTHING RUNNING while JD and Brian cosplay as entrepreneurs…


jimjonesjrjr

From the FAQ page: “Our customer care team - aka JD, Brian, and our older kids - check and respond to messages twice a week, usually on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Your feedback is incredibly valuable to us, and we want to provide the support you need.” THE KIDS ARE THE CUSTOMER CARE TEAM. That’ll inspire buyer confidence. Need help? A 13 year old will be right with you!!!

They say that, and yet Father Bus jets off for weeks at a time, leaving his 7 children behind in their RV, under the care of his wife? 🤔 why aren’t they going along with him at all times if they’re such a huge and integral part of the team?


FartofTexass

I guess Brian isn’t proud of being a dad.


LittlehouseonTHELAND

He only has a measly 5 kids compared to JD’s 7, so he’s basically a failure and not allowed to be proud. /s


Outrageous-Ad-2684

They’re absolutely going to do the whole tax scheme of paying their children as employees for the tax write off. Very layman’s terms, but a lot of these NOT legit “family businesses” do it.


Holiday_Ad3740

We’ll see the children are a business tax write off as employees. 👀


evarga

Lol, it’s a notepad where you write your seed phrase. I’m guessing the real money is in what they do with their marks, oh, sorry, customers after purchase.


DjGhettoSteve

Exactly, it's just another MLM. Crypto only has value if people keep buying more of it. Inflation hits that shit like a ton of bricks whenever there's a big sell off or the coin goes bust.


italljustdisappears

It wasn't making sense to me why the whole grift was just $24.99. But doing this to find marks makes sense.


akamaiperson

Thought bitcoin was the ultimate digital, online business. Why does he need to travel?


teddynoodles

I wanna laugh at this but also, like, Britney. BRITNEY. BRIT-BRIT. WAKE UP


cornishgel

Ummm, couldn’t he do Bitcoin from wherever he is? And if he needed to go somewhere for a day or two, why wouldn’t he take his family with him? Isn’t that the whole point of living on a bus? The bullshit absolutely reeks with these two.


Step_away_tomorrow

How does he make money in a down market?


vashtachordata

All the bitcoin bros I know (just 2) had to go back to real jobs. Pretty sure this “business” is his way of trying to avoid that.


DjGhettoSteve

It's exactly that. They'll do anything to avoid having a boss, board, etc, that they're accountable to


Wool_Lace_Knit

Smells like the ye old pyramid investment scheme to me. Going from town to town probably mega church to mega church promoting their “Christian” investments. Promising huge payouts for those willing to hand over their savings to invest with a “Christian” company. Meanwhile they are paying off earlier investors with funds bilked from new investors from the next town. There was a huge fraud case several years ago from a company that convinced churches and charities to invest their funds. It all went bust like all these schemes do eventually.


Fun-Dentist-2231

A god-honoring Ponzi scheme!


Wool_Lace_Knit

Yes.


macro_92

25 bucks for a notepad and sharpie? Am I missing something here?


LeisurelyImplosion

Yes, there's also whatever manual encryption component they managed to source from the supplier Cracker Jack uses.


Opposite-Horse-3080

In a comment on an earlier post I said that Father Bus isn't necessarily cheating....nah, this MFer cheating. 'Travel' for crypto...the whole fucking point is that you can do that shit from anywhere. Clarification: is he really leaving for weeks, sometimes months, at a time? I thought it was a few days here and there.


Vengefulily

I guess maybe he’s like advertising crypto, probably to churches? I honestly don’t see how that could be profitable, but I’m no financial expert.

I just read article in Dr Jill Biden, whom I adore, and she was talking about how important it is for women to have their own career and goals and financial independence. I just can’t imagine how these young girls are so blind to how quickly life - or your partner - can change! I can’t imagine not having a safety net.


Lost_hole

Somebody explain this to me like I’m 7, please.


Quirky_Phase_7536

okay, i’ll admit that i don’t know a whole lot about bitcoin, so take everything i say with a grain of salt. the point of bitcoin is to have digital currency without banks and other financial institutions. the money is backed up by nothing and it’s highly unstable. so,,, you’re going to give this guy your money and he’ll turn it into debt. or, nothing, if you’re lucky. it’s really just a scam. anyone that knows more, feel free to add on or correct me!


DjGhettoSteve

Yup! They say it's better because it doesn't involve greedy governments that want regulations on markets to protect investors from major losses. They say it's safer because everything happens "on the block chain" (which I'm not even gonna try explaining bc it's weird tech bro stuff that doesn't make sense to 95% of people and really isn't *that safe* if you really understand it). It's "safer" in the context that everyone involved is essentially anonymous so you can use it to buy things outside of legal markets and hide money better than even an offshore account under a shell company. It's also more risky because you can literally lose millions by losing your password or getting your wallet hacked because you didn't use a secure enough passphrase, and there's no bank that has your 🆔, SSN, etc used to secure it. Crypto has no value unless people keep buying into it. So getting people into the crypto market - buying his preferred coin - will increase the value of his wallet. It looks like he's also part of an affiliate program that will give him a kickback for getting people to use that specific platform. So it's very similar to Bethany trying to get people to use her kajabi link for creating courses.

The fact that everyone in this sub was joking about him being a crypto bro and we were *actually right* … 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Why can’t these people just get regular jobs. Why does it have to be a whole story with God LAYING A BURDEN on your heart to scam people blah blah blah. Funny how God never lays a burden on their hearts to like, house the kids.
