The individual telling the story is intentionally being misleading when telling it.

The storyteller says at the beginning that he sells metal pins with logos on them. And that when his luggage was scanned those metal pins showed up on the x-ray. Someone seen a bunch of metal on the x-ray. They weren't able to identify what it was, and rightfully asked to open the bag. Which is exactly what they are supposed to do if something unidentifiable shows up on the x-ray.

Some of those pins had a Bitcoin logo. For someone who doesn't exactly know what bitcoins really are, they might come to the wrong conclusion that they were physical bitcoins. They may come the the wrong conclusion that the individual is carry a large amount of "cash" in the form of bitcoins.

Of course they are wrong for thinking that the storyteller is transporting physical bitcoins. But it is understandable how someone who doesn't really know what bitcoins are would come to this conclusion.

The storyteller is deliberately trying to mislead any listeners, and make it sound like he's some sort of victim. Instead of admitting that he was acting like a dick to people who were just trying to do their job. All while absolutely refusing to acknowledge that there might be people in this world who don't understand what bitcoins really are.
