    My Bitcoin success story

    Posted: 04 May 2018 11:09 AM PDT

    I'm currently traveling through South America, where credit cards are rarely accepted (only by really high-end restaurants and hotels). I normally take cash out of the ATM and use that, but I screwed up and forgot to take my card back from the ATM so it got eaten. I called the ATM's bank and they said it would take 5 days to get the card back, but I was already on my way to a different country. My bank said they could mail a new ATM card but that would also take 5+ days. So I found myself stuck with about $25 to last me for 5 days, maybe even more.

    I looked at my different options, Western Union and MoneyGram wanted to charge about $15, plus a 3% fee on conversion rate - PLUS a bank wire fee of $25 by my own bank!

    Then I had the idea to get on Coinmap, and lo and behold there's a cafe that accepts BTC. I stopped in for lunch and the owner asked me if I wanted to sell any Bitcoin. I was like hell yeah, that would be a lifesaver! He used a local exchange rate, which was worse than mine, so not only did I get a fresh stack of cash to hold me over for a week, I did everything completely "off the grid" and actually made a few percent instead of paying like $50 in fees.

    It was my first cash sale of Bitcoin and it really showed me how useful and flexible having a decentralized currency can be. Anyways, just wanted to share my success story from today :] Cheers all

    More fee lies from "Bitcoin Judas"

    https://twitter.com/WhalePanda/status/921994604500709377


    Roger Ver lies more often than he tells the truth. This is not an attack, just an objective observation of the facts.

    "Mt. Gox is totally fine." (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UP1YsMlrfF0) ... shortly thereafter Mt. Gox implodes ... "I am here to 'apologize'. Even though everything I said when I told you 'Mt. Gox is fine' was true, I am sorry that some of you lost money when it collapsed. Buy ether."

    "I am banned from posting in /r/Bitcoin" ... accidentally posts to /r/Bitcoin ... "Oops. Now I'll pretend like I never claimed to be banned from /r/Bitcoin, and ignore anyone who asks me about that claim."

    "I've dumped a few hundred BTC for BCC"... 2 weeks later: "I haven't sold a single Bitcoin for Bitcoin Cash up until yesterday"

    He lies about the subreddit he controls. He regularly lies about his holdings. He lied and scammed his way into the bitcoin.com domain, which he uses to push out FUD about Bitcoin and its developers. He lies on agreements he signs (e.g. "the bitcoin.com pool will mine with NYA/btc1/2x code... whoops just kidding, we're mining bcash instead"). He even had the audacity to lie about what happened in court, when there is a public transcript available which disproves everything he said.

    There are more examples of blatant deception that I don't have the time or patience to dig up right now. Make no mistake: the man is, unfortunately, a sociopath.

    Posted: 04 May 2018 11:33 PM PDT

    How many are like this staring at the market? Patiently waiting.

    Posted: 04 May 2018 07:22 PM PDT

    Everyone should report this misleading Bitcoin video right now. I have done my part, you should too.

    Posted: 04 May 2018 11:06 PM PDT

    When Bitcoin gets to $10k we all know what is going to happen.

    Posted: 04 May 2018 07:14 PM PDT

    Chill its joke.

    Posted: 05 May 2018 12:33 AM PDT

    Still space for some before BTC hits $10k and leaves you behind!

    I love Bitcoin.

    What a fucking time to be alive. We are on the brink of seeing what is quite possibly the first worldwide currency. We live in a time of monumental change and there is for sure light on the horizon.

    Federal Reserve is "comfortable" with "overshooting" inflation. The wealth confiscation of our savings through devaluation will be allowed at even faster speed.
