Since I've been under the weather and didn't feel like an hours motorcycle ride back and forth to the bitcoin atm, I tried to buy some online. Big mistake! After a selfie with an explanation of the purchase while holding my ID which was difficult to hold up living alone- although I did manage a clear pictures, then two pictures of my id with my payment card, the purchase was rejected by the exchange and I was told to use another card.
I told them to forget it, and I would like a selfie from the exchange's CEO holding a signed note wherein he promised to destroy all pictures and information I had provide them with.
Who wants to put up with such nonsense? The only reason I deal with the ATM is for online gambling, which our countries cause us to lose more money on since we have to pay extra USD to buy the bitcoin, and then lose a couple of points when it is deposited.
If it was easily available within 1% of spot, it might find adoption- like if you could buy it the way you buy anything else online, simply type in your cc number and four digits on the back. Btc is supposed to be anonymous and easy but it is neither.
Yeah me too, I use crypto for me to be able to play on a
gaming site so that I can play many types of games to ease my boredom yet earning money. In addition, well we need time for global adoption to completely happen. We are slowly progressing, but we cannot demand for it to happen in no time, because this type of technology is not the type of technology that can be accepted in an instant. Stores need to upgrade themselves and how about those third world countries? Even developed countries are slowly adopting to it, what more to the poor countries? Be patient, that will happen.
