We need a Better way to buy Bitcoin.

in #bitcoin8 years ago (edited)

Coinbase alone is not enough. Are there any Bitcoin atm companies reading this. Are your owners? Sponsor my blog. Send me a free BTC atm I will give you a tagline at the end of every post for a period we agree upon. Why? Because I want a free BTC atm? No. Because I want to put these A*holes out of business that own them now. In my area a BTC atm means paying AT LEAST 100$ over spot price simply because an ATM has not found its way to the hands of a decent human being yet. Literally this is not an exaggeration. They all are colluding without even getting together to make the cheapest Bitcoin atm in my entire state 80$ over spot price. That is just reflective of the fact most of btc atm owners dont even understand bitcoin they are just clueless shop owners sold on making a quick buck. Then when a guy who does understand Bitcoin buys a BTC atm he sees no reason to undercut the market beyond 20 - 40 $. I will set my bitcoin atm at 10 dollars over spot price. Who cares how fast I make the initial investment back when I made no initial investment right!? help me help the local bitcoin community . If you cant send me a btc atm an upvote goes a long way toward me affording one.

peer to peer... that's the best way... in a way you could look at it as, if you are having trouble buying bitcoin... you circle of friends aren't as progressive as you are.

With the recent news about the IRS and Coinbase, I really don't want to use it for withdrawing funds. Are there better, trusted alternatives that aren't easily harassed by or within reach of the US government? An ATM in my neighborhood would be nice.

Change the laws...

That's a good one! The government will never change their laws to keep them out of the pockets of their "citizens." So, I guess I'll just have to find another option, unless Coinbase can somehow get around any IRS inquiries, which is doubtful.

I recently went to one of the local offices of my bank (on Canary Islands) and asked the employee if she could help me in exchanging some €€ to bitcoin. You should have seen her face! :-D I would be happy to have at least a 'local bitcoin community'....

Localbitcoins is indeed the best.

.mp4 is best. Later versions will support more video formats but I think that for the moment we are stuck there. I need to look into what github.com/mafintosh and github.com/feross are using. The basic tech on that site is called webtorrent. If there is a video being viewed by 500 people, the server doesn't need much bandwidth at all. Instead, the users serve the video to one another.

I think the size limit is on your hard drive if I had to guess.

I founded satoshipoint, a UK bitcoin ATM company. there are more costs involved running one than you probably realise. AML KYC regulations are also a headache.

10% over spot is about $70-80 ....

I like the way you are thinking.

My current aim is to promote adoption by local businesses.
