Title: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Ehrhc on September 30, 2017, 08:33:14 AM My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet!
Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more: 1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate! 2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305. 3- Is it safe to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) Just stay inside your hotel! Don't leave! Don't invite someone to your room! At the lobby. You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!! Both countries are safe, exchange rate to USD is good, and to Bitcoin is great! Do your own research... Nothing impossible, you just invest right, use the income to do something very unique! You don't live twice!

I have always heard people here saying they will spend money on travels or buying for routine life, but I feel your story shall be an inspiration for many of us, who would like to use Bitcoin over cash, just out of curiosity, the prices were preety much fluctuating, did you had a contingency plan, Incase the price went to low. I am sure many will take your story as a example, but not all are lucky to have 3 Bitcoins to spare. Title: Re: I did it!

Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet! Sorry to say so, but you must have a shitty credit card deal if that's the case.

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Pursuer on September 30, 2017, 08:55:11 AM this is one of my dreams to travel to some other country and take with me only bitcoin on my cell phone or even on some paper wallet and spend it there. although my dream involve spending bitcoin directly not to be forced to convert it to local currency and then pay for stuff.
like paying your hotel, taxi, restaurants,... with bitcoin. 1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate! but how about the price difference? for example if bitcoin is $4300 on localbitcoin I usually find much lower prices that they are buying at. won't that negate the $305 you saved up?2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Mi5h0 on September 30, 2017, 09:07:37 AM Yeah, Bitcoin can enhance your traveling experience. By coming into contact with local bitcoin users at bitcoin friendly places, travelers will be able to see a different side of the destinations they visit. They will even have the opportunity to bond with the locals over their shared values and opinions on bitcoin.
Next time I travel internationally, I hope I'll be able to leave my credit and debit cards at home. :D Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Don Pedro Dinero on September 30, 2017, 09:12:50 AM Congrats man! People like you contribute to bitcoin booming.
I was searching the other day for places where to spend bitcoins in my country and I couldn’t find many. Some of them were supposed to accept bitcoins but when I went on to the website I couldn’t find it as a kind of payment accepted. I suppose I was seeing the glass half empty whereas you saw it half full, so thanks for your optimism. Title: Re: I did it!

Save $305 from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges is fantastic. Thanks for share your experience, will encourage more people to use bitcoin even though it's always fluctuate. But, as long as there's no bad news which lead to another crash, price fall down over $1000, it will be fine. Well, if you can share some photos about your journey will be great. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: okissabam on September 30, 2017, 09:16:56 AM Congratulations and I'll take this as an inspiration, I'm planning to travel with my partner too next year and we both are planning to use Bitcoin and just a little amount of cash in case of emergency but still planning where to travel. We kind of made a plan to travel just somewhere in Asia and hopefully there'd be restaurants who would accept bitcoin as payment.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: ajmapalo22 on September 30, 2017, 09:22:07 AM I think we should not worry travelling without fiat but only bitcoin because it is really accepted globally and consider as normal money or just in case it can always converted into fiat if others would not accept it. Bitcoin is getting more popular and I will not shock if I heard a lot of people using bitcoin as their pocket money while travelling.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: rausvi15 on September 30, 2017, 09:30:04 AM Good to know that friend. There will be a time in the future, when such instances will be normal and people will be using the bitcoins for their regular daily needs. As the bitcoins are getting popular; many shops, restaurants and other service providers will start to accept the bitcoins then it will be more easy to roam without fiat currency.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Nahl on September 30, 2017, 09:38:27 AM that was awesome experience and apparently you're already proven that bitcoin can be use instead of money and also so popular on the countries which you already visited because i see you hadn't having trouble to made transactions with bitcoin and i think this is good reference for those who want to get vacation and not carrying much money but having bitcoin
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Enya97 on September 30, 2017, 10:45:08 AM wah must be very fun yes to travel anywhere without complicated only use bitcoin and little money, no need to be afraid of robbers.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: CataloniaFM on September 30, 2017, 10:48:48 AM With bitcoin it's very convenient to travel and I want to earn a lot of coins to be able to try to do it. It is only necessary to choose those countries in which it is not prohibited.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: mbelosto on September 30, 2017, 10:52:27 AM have you tried direct payments with bitcoins to local businesses? are there any in turkey or egypt?
or only exchange to local currency? have you checked rate differences between USD -> egypt pounds and BTC->pounds? Title: Re: I did it!

How did you do it, bought on those places where BTC where accepted? I would love to see a more detailed list on how you saved $300. Title: Re: I did it!

Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!! I think he's referring to forex fees. If you are using a dollar based credit card and spending in say pounds, you usually get charged a 5% forex fee (they bump up the exchange rate by 5%). And if you are travelling to places like Egypt, they can bump up the exchange rate by as much as 10%. You might not even be aware this is happening unless you check the real exchange rates. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: countryfree on September 30, 2017, 11:50:28 AM A few questions.
How many days have you been traveling? How many BTC transactions, and how many non BTC transactions? This would help us understand the value of your experience. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: laserguy on September 30, 2017, 11:53:58 AM I am a Turkish citizen and I wonder how you spent your coins in Turkey. Could you please give more details?
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Dhaaaw on September 30, 2017, 12:02:34 PM You must've had an awesome time there OP to spend 1.9 bitcoin in less than 9 days hahaha. That aside, i'm really surprised that you did survive with only bitcoins in a country like egypt cause as far as i know egypt is not really up to date with bitcoin payments so it kind of struck me. But the important thing is that you did it. Congratulations.

That's great and a wonderful experience, you should create a blog or an article about your experience so people will read that you can use bitcoin in your travel and daily activities like shopping and going to a movie and eating in a restaurant you can open a blog in blogspot and it's free Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: princesocapuyo on September 30, 2017, 01:09:43 PM Good job dude! However you shouldn't be spending your Bitcoin right now. How will you feel when in 5 years they are quadruple or more of the value right now. Good experience but don't do it again.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: BY_ATOM on September 30, 2017, 01:15:47 PM It's really cool! I am very glad that you got it. The more such actions and people, the more popular will get bitcoin all over the world!

You showed us that you can use BTC abroad for a travel, without having issues! But there will be always some risks with whom you should deal in LocalBitcoins! Good that you met good dealers, that enhanced your experience in travelling with Bitcoin!

Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) It's the first thing i had in mind when reading your post. Maybe i'll try it soon. I had the idea to travel just using bitcoin but i had different plan to turn my coins to cash. I'll try to deal with local person and we will see. Title: Re: I did it!

I don't know which bank you use! Here is my trick with international guys ( Since now i have experience?), most have their number there, you call from your hotel ( free) and say I am at this hotel, would you like to make an exchange ( none said no), not just they showed up, they feel plus you that you are among this exclusive club! and most topic was when it will hit $5000.

I am sure many will take your story as a example, but not all are lucky to have 3 Bitcoins to spare. Yes, I was carrying my cards ( visa and master card one debit other credit) plus the $100. Well I was doing small transactions 1 per 2 days ( So I don't cry if while it was going up!). Plus both Egypt and Turkey kinda cheap for US citizen, or let me reverse it, if you go where locals go and eat plus travel, it will be freakin cheap. it did cost me $10 a day in Egypt to travel and eat!

You deal with cash face to face, the deal is always close if not match to real time trading! Plus you are dealing with their local currency, Egypt and Turkey don't have tide currency exchange rate! So its dynamic day per day. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Ehrhc on September 30, 2017, 05:38:54 PM have you tried direct payments with bitcoins to local businesses? are there any in turkey or egypt? or only exchange to local currency? have you checked rate differences between USD -> egypt pounds and BTC->pounds? No, to be honest, I was doing local exchange face to face, in turkey there are couple of restaurant and stores accepting btc, but i was ehh , get fiat in best rate and go every where! Yes, the exchange math you do it once! Then you have multiple guys in Egypt and Turkey who will give you real time matching, because you are dealing face to face! And Everyone was into the experience itself! You know my other fellow BTC holder! its like exclusive club member reunion :) Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: xaxistech on September 30, 2017, 05:41:14 PM It is amazing mate, i am so happy to read things like this, it really motivates me to do some travelling right now, but i can not because i have too much work and i can leave my computer at the moment, i work more than 12 hours a day in front of my computer, so it is difficult for me to go travel. But i really think that i will need a few days off in some time, what a nice idea.

Here is what chase does: 1- If you withdrawal cash its $5 fees + %5 forex fees. 2- In Egypt I just put the card to see how much i can withdrawal! its 3000 pounds, which is $170 so for every $170 I am paying up to $10... Turkey same for chase, but withdrawal limit is up, i forgot but something like $400or $600 Title: Re: I did it!

I heard the TenX card allows you to withdraw from ATMs in the local currency, but I don't have one and I don't recall seeing any videos of that before. That would be quite useful for as an alternative backup plan to localbitcoins.

The currency difference we have with the currency of the country we visit sometimes becomes a burden in itself. First, sometimes we often experience bad luck where the money changer that we visit give the exchange rate / exchange rate is very bad, so it can cut even up to 10% of the value of our currency. Secondly, there are many fake Money Changer who don't have official permission from the government which is certainly risky when we transact there. and one of the advantages of bitcoin is that we can exchange it with any currency that exists in each country with very cheap fee. so we do not have to worry that unpleasant events will happen to us. So I think traveling with bitcoin is worth to try. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: EmmanCryp on September 30, 2017, 10:47:05 PM My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet! Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more: 1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate! 2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305. 3- Is it save to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!! Yes its a good feeling that we don't have to be carrying much physical cash again. Our phone or paper wallets can do the job better Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: aoihs00 on October 01, 2017, 04:01:06 AM Another good story from the traveller with only bitcoin with him. I have seen stories like this on YouTube also where people actually spent whole month on the bitcoin and they tried to buy food, water and rent hotels with only bitcoin. They were successful too.
With your case I can imagine how localbitcoin might helped you through your long journey. But I'm wondering how much time that might have consumed while making the trade and getting the cash. I mean you might have met people in real but with the meetings fixed at specific point and time. That we can not neglect here because it is in general waste of time. Would love to know more detail story. Share us with more motivational incidences you had. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: chesegrinder on October 01, 2017, 04:16:25 AM I cant say that I been travelling using my bitcoin in my wallet buy a book my travel using Coins.ph convert my btc to fiat and book using traveloka. been have 1.2 BTC in my wallet and pay travelloka using coins.ph this is the first travel i pay online using bitcoin/digital money in my wallet. This was happen last week and I enjoy it, i only have 150$ as a pocket money... Well for me it is not good to spend your bitcoin without converting it to fiat money as its price are fluctuating everytime...(just to say) happy travel and earning to all of you
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: eaLiTy on October 01, 2017, 02:23:06 PM @Ehrhc That is a wonderful experience and an experience i have never heard in this forum from anyone,hope this encourages people to dare and travel around the world with just bitcoin and use local bitcoins to get the necessary exchange in fiat for the trip,i would say it is a daring trip with just $100 fiat in your hand,either way well done and thanks for sharing your experience.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Sir Cross on October 01, 2017, 02:48:07 PM That sounds awesome! Wish I could do the same. I don't know much about 'Localbitcoins' so could you tell me more about it? Maybe I could use it the next time I travel and save as much as you did from the exchange rates. You really do lose a lot of money there and credit card fees whenever you travel.
This is pretty inspiring for bitcoin users like me and this could encourage others to use bitcoin as well. It would be such a convenience to able to use bitcoin while traveling because you won't have to go through the hassle of exchanging your fiat money to the local currency all the time. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: StonedWolf on October 01, 2017, 04:38:52 PM I think if you asked the opinion of bitcointalk's members, before leaving on your trip, on your idea and what you are going to do all the users will give you negative answers and you will receive enormously negative waves. But thanks to your courage and your determination you have completed an adventure far from being realizable later.

That would be quite useful for as an alternative backup plan to localbitcoins. Its another card!Why ...When you have people you can meet and exchange?

This is a great story, and i feel like this just proves how convenient bitcoin is. People should really stop saying that bitcoin is useless or whatever and hear this man right here. Of course, right now you still need to convert bitcoin into fiat whenever you want something but in future you should be able to just pay with bitcoin, directly. You could have actually gotten more bang for your buck if you chose to wait and instead of selling to an offer, create your own offer on localbitcoins. That way, you take advantage of the spread and actually get more than spot price for your coins, instead of being disadvantaged because of the spread. Title: Re: I did it!

Search for best local currency rate! 2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305. 3- Is it save to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!! Well, it's nice to hear that. Bitcoin has grown so much from 2012-2013 when people were first amazed that they could even convert bitcoin into real cash. Now, with localbitcoins, paxful, bisq and many others you are able to travel anywhere in the world and get their local currency with bitcoin, without having to resort to high forex conversion spreads that you have otherwise gotten. Good job, and hope you enjoyed the trip :) Title: Re: I did it!

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Ehrhc on October 02, 2017, 09:43:03 AM Nice for you, I am so happy to hear that from a bitcoin user, meaning bitcoins has been accepted in the market already. so just as I suspected, bitcoin will take over in the market and be used in trade and business. Yes it will, but we have a part to take it main street! Using it! Enjoy having it. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: kamikadze69 on October 02, 2017, 09:44:57 AM I think it is a good diving. I hope in the future there is a machine that can convert bitcoin into local currency with instant, so it will make it easier for us to travel or anything else.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Taki on October 02, 2017, 10:01:43 AM That is great experience! I would love to repeat it. But currently I have another kind important costs, I bought a house like a month ago and now I am doing some renovation inside of the house and it costs. So all my bitcoins are going on that and I think it's also great to have such support as bitcoin gives to me to solve that.

This will only prove to every disbeliever about the usefulness of bitcoin in the real world. It is not only a thing that can be used through internet and online shopping but can now truly be used almost as a real money. And i thank everyone responsible for its materialization.

Truly an inspiring story mate and thank you for sharing and giving us idea how to travel with bitcoins only. I think this story should be published to a crypto news website such as cointelegraph.com so that others can see how bitcoin can be truly used outside of investment instrument. Maybe others wo would read this will make the same journey and really document it with video and post it in youtube where it can seen by million bitcoin enthusiast.

Title: Re: I did it!

You exchanged Bitcoin for cash in Turkey? Did you feel safe at all transactions, I think I would be pretty nervous tbh... You probably picked sellers with a lot of good reviews, at least I hope so? You also left when the price dropped significantly, did you panic when you saw the price dropping right before your vacation? Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: RayvenPierre on October 02, 2017, 01:06:09 PM Congratulations to you man!

This is truly an inspiration for people who are hoping that bitcoin will make their wishes come true and that it can help them financially.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Sadsong on October 02, 2017, 01:20:56 PM A common question at customs well travelling, is how will you be paying for things or if you have access to funds so that you are not a potential liability on the visit. Most places would still be flagging you by mentioning bitcoin sadly.

That is so cool for you to have been able to do that and its much more interesting to share your escapade and how far bitcoin had gone eben beyond places that are popular in the crypto space. It signal to one effect which is, bitcoin is present in most countries of the world. The journey might be smooth considering where you are a citizen and the proposed country of destination which might not be same for a foreigner entering America. I have seen people going into the states turned back at point of entry because they don't have enough cash to sustain them for the intended stay. Even with several amount as bitcoin which its yet to be recognised, I doubt if its going to be as easy as you had it. Title: Re: I did it!

This is some kind of a test as well if there are many people who are already using bitcoin and as a result, you were able to save some unnecessary fees because of bitcoin. This is an inspiration as well to the people who would like to travel in other country using only bitcoin since bitcoin is use worldwide so there would be possibility that in every place you go, you can spend bitcoin directly to pay or find someone who will buy your bitcoin in exchange of their fiat currency there. Maybe one day, I would try this but for now, I would just accumulate as much as I can. If you dont count hotel and airline, my whole trip to EGYPT( Food, traveling between, gifts) costed me $275 ( which is almost the fees I would pay with card and currency exchanges) It is dirt cheap now, but not an ideal holiday destination for Westerners. < Political instability and ISIS are still active in these regions > People I have spoken to, says unemployment & crime increased and the situation on the ground is still very volatile.

Wonder what currency you sold your coin for in Egypt. Dollars or Egyptian currency? If Egypt's, I assume the currency was received in person at specific locations in Egypt.

Well, it is not a shocking scenario for me after all since bitcoin can be really used up into different purpose of usage depending upon the user or the owner of the bitcoin holding he have. Bitcoin usage in western countries you have recently travelled is really in a wide use. Well, it is really interesting that you have kept into yourself the $100 you have and used up bitcoin to prove that bitcoin can be used as a term of payment not just for online purchase but also for travelling.Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more: 1- I used Localbitcoins for cash!

I do hope that in years time many countries wilk open their trades for bitcoin. This is s great step for bitcoin.

However now, I think this must have been hard given that not everyone are familiar with Bitcoins. Which means that a lot of stores, especially in countries that do not accept yet totally Bitcoin, are not accepting Bitcoins as payments. Maybe in the future there will be the time that majority or all stores will be open and willing to accept Bitcoin payments.

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: lucifochrome on October 04, 2017, 05:56:19 PM It is nice to hear your story, did you use just bitcoin like, mainly bitcoin in all you purchases or had to trade it to real money. if you just used bitcoin and all, i am impressed as there are a lot of establishments now that accepts bitcoin that it was before, and do airlines accept bitcoin now as well? did not heard about it that much. but this is just an advice, it is up to you whether you will take it or not. Do not just bring a 100$ with you, bitcoin is highly volatile, the next thing you know prices may have dropped insanely so if in case that happens would you still trade your bitcoin for real money or just use the money you have until price gets back up.

Search for best local currency rate! 2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305. 3- Is it save to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!! Wow thats nice to hear bro. Bitcoin is doing good for travellers I guess. You do not need to bring large amounts of money to roam around. You only need is your smart phone with your bitcoin wallet and exchange you bitcoin in their local fiat just like what you did. It is better to have bitcoin with you than cash. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: 7jaka7 on October 05, 2017, 02:07:26 PM If someone would take trip from April to September there would be a big chance that he would come back even richer in terms of FIAT money :).
That would be a story to tell: I went on vacation for 5 months and earned xxx$ :D Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: BigBall on October 05, 2017, 02:10:04 PM Wow you saved so much on those credit card fees.That is really good amount of money.This post will help to newbies so they can see what bitcoin is really,they will not be scared anymore of new online coins.

But the amazing thing would be when you don't have to use localbitcoins for all your payments, uses and bills. Gotta ask, how many vendors throughout your journey actually accepted bitcoin? Any tickets, bookings, restaurants or anything? Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: South Park on October 05, 2017, 10:29:48 PM what you say can not everyone do, i better keep it ,. probably because you already have a lot of bitcoin or money. but for me bitcoin is very valuable until I collect it piece by piece. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: shield132 on October 05, 2017, 10:42:30 PM That's very good but bitcoin is very changeable so sometimes when price is high and you decide to exchange, you can lose some $ like there was fall couple weeks ago. If I understand correctly you where meeting persons face to face to exchange btc? This would help you to save atm withdraw fees? Am I right? On another hand what about XAPO card in such situation? As I know you can usw their card worldwide and atm withdraw has fixed fee.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Mike Mayor on October 05, 2017, 11:37:53 PM That is so cool. You should have recorded it and put it into a blog to track your while journey so we can all see and maybe you can make some or all of the money back with ads and stuff. It would be really nice to travel and make money that way. Also open a steem account and post there.
This shows the practical use if Bitcoin. I'm glad people are starting to use it and realize it's full potential. Title: Re: I did it!

It is hard to spend bitcoins though since the potential to earn from it will lost. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: jimrome on October 05, 2017, 11:58:53 PM It was a risky trip in my opinion,i would get a bitcoin based debit card rather than trusting local bitcoins when i am on a trip,either way hope you have a wonderful experience with just hundred dollars in your pocket and the rest being in bitcoin ,the volatility is high and you cannot predict the price and if i am in that situation i would not take that risk.

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: rachelia13 on October 06, 2017, 12:56:55 AM It's sounds great, traveling with bitcoin and $ 100 only, maybe someday I can follow your trail, traveling to Japan where there are many places that receive payment with bitcoin, if for now I have not been able to do it because my bitcoin amount in my wallet not much and in my country only one city that receive payment with bitcoin, and even then only for hotel, whereas for other purposes still have to use fiat or card, so for now on i only develop bitcoin that i have by trading so later i have enough bitcoin to realize my dream to travelling with bitcoin to Japan
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: nocturnalsheet on October 06, 2017, 12:58:32 AM great stuff! planning to do that as well but have to choose a bullish month so my bitcoin will keep going up even if I keep spending haha

Next time take the camera and shoot about this blog, I was interested to see it on YouTube. How about trying a round-the-world trip with more bitcoins? soon we can use bitcoin for replacing our fiat to travel round the world trip and we only need to exchange our bitcoin to fiat and we can buy ticket, food, drink, pay the hotel, pay the accommodation for our holiday. someday i will be travel in one place too and i will carrying my bitcoin to feel how it like and i hope that place have ATM machine too so i can try it later.

Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!! I have always heard people here saying they will spend money on travels or buying for routine life, but I feel your story shall be an inspiration for many of us, who would like to use Bitcoin over cash, just out of curiosity, the prices were preety much fluctuating, did you had a contingency plan, Incase the price went to low. I am sure many will take your story as a example, but not all are lucky to have 3 Bitcoins to spare. Hahaha I think the backup plan is the $dollar. But that is a bit scary when something like a huge dumping happen and you are in the last stop away from home and needs a lot of money to go back. This story of yours prove that bitcoin can be use as a substitute from fiat but also proves the the volatile price of bitcoin is really a huge disadvantage. Maybe someday there will be a software that can freeze the bitcoin value that you want and unfreeze it whenever you want. Title: Re: I did it!

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: ssb883 on October 06, 2017, 08:16:51 AM Good job dude! However you shouldn't be spending your Bitcoin right now. How will you feel when in 5 years they are quadruple or more of the value right now. Good experience but don't do it again. Can you guarantee I am going to be alive an 1 hour from now? I bought btc when it was $104! Plus I am investing in Litra, so no matter what i am going to have 5x-10x within 3 months. Money is way to enjoy life! BTC is just making it more exciting fun and chance to meet other awesome guys! This I understood you. You have nice concept of living. Most people would stop themselves from spending BTC but none of us have assurance we'll still be here by the time BTC have higher prices than NOW. Great you bought BTC early. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Opquar on October 06, 2017, 08:20:51 AM That's pretty incredible. I wish there was like a global service that exchanges Bitcoins for all currencies with international presence. Most are local right now. That might be too big of an operation for with very few users though.

You actually did what I was dreaming for like, my whole time here in the crypto world. I really wish i could do the same. To be able to travel anywhere using just bitcoins. That would be the greatest thing i would ever do in my whole life. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: sch_lau on October 06, 2017, 09:55:28 AM how were you able to pay for food and souvenirs with bitcoins? are they popular in Egypt?

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: greeklogos on October 06, 2017, 09:59:40 AM That is great experience. I suppose bitcoin ATMs there are in every big city now, so that wasn't a problem for you to cash out your coins. I can only dream to do something like this now, I just joined the forum and my bitcoin savings are not so big yet.

That is another option, you can use a bitcoin debit card to withdraw money from ATM all over the world, that way you will not have to deal with people and the risk that entails but even then I think the strategy of the OP was bold but it show to us that in a few years traveling and using only bitcoin is going to become a lot more common.Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: StonedWolf on October 06, 2017, 11:35:19 PM I think if you asked the opinion of bitcointalk's members, before leaving on your trip, on your idea and what you are going to do all the users will give you negative answers and you will receive enormously negative waves. But thanks to your courage and your determination you have completed an adventure far from being realizable later. You are totally right, and I couldn't agree more with you, but it was an adventure, and it was worth it, I would listen to this forum members couple of years ago, but now! NO! Do then share! But don't ask to do.Many negative trash waste of time people here now. You dont have to listen to all those trash and recieve thoe negatives waves, you just need a lot of motivation and determination with a good company in order to have a very funny moments. And remember, the most important thing is to be optimistic about your adventure !! Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Shamie1002 on October 07, 2017, 05:17:08 AM I think that the use of bitcoins in traveling will bring great experience. We all know that bitcoin is decentralised and canvassing cost may be made easier when services can be paid directly in bitcoins.
It's great and inspiring reading experiences like these because it makes us feel more secured in the use of bitcoins. And that the use of bitcoin in traveling is real. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: GreenBits on October 07, 2017, 05:29:01 AM Man, I couldnt get to the next state with 100 bucks in any currency, LOL.
But seriously, this is one of the hidden strengths of bitcoin; being able to travel with your wealth, and being able to convert your wealth to local currency and back again, without having to make foreign currencies cross borders (which can be illegal if you are carrying too much). problem is actually using the local exchange; until adoption is better, you cant assure everywhere you go will have an easily accessible exchange. and the cards that use bitcoin as a balance are usually tied to a certain market; you would incur international transaction fees (but this would be convenient, if the card worked). best strategy is to already have a bitcoin debit card for the locale you intend to visit ;) you can always just take the unused funds off the card when you are finished. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Eternu on October 07, 2017, 05:32:52 AM You are the first person that I heard of who have tried somehing like that. It worms my hearth even more to see that you succeeded in your mission. From this we can see that main mission of Bitcoin is starting to accomplish it self. This also show us that Bitcoin can become worlds currency. I hope that in future there will be more people who will be able to confirm things like this.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Xenrise on October 07, 2017, 05:42:05 AM Wow that is great. By travelling 2 cities with 3 bitcoins and only $100 WOW.

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: 24core on October 07, 2017, 10:11:33 AM I have tried something similar but it is very difficult. Buying food and groceries would be great and I do see this coming to cryptocurrency very soon.

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Dyn@styN3rd on October 07, 2017, 10:27:23 AM First of all congratulations OP for a successful travel using Bitcoin as your currency. Would love to have 3 BTC as pocket money if ever I plan to take a vacation too! This is such an inspiration as you can do something now with just Bitcoin on your wallet.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: jmigdlc99 on October 07, 2017, 10:42:24 AM Congratulations on your trip. But in reality isn't it possible that you probably just got lucky that someone wanted to buy your bitcoin at the time you needed it? Or another possibility is that you posted your selling price too low not to be ignored by someone to buy?
Is this story legit? I mean if you just landed at an airport im assuming you need to get a taxi to a restaurant or somewhere right? Or did someone coincidentally want to buy bitcoin at an airport? Lol. You said you still have the $100 intact and i don't see how when you said you traded with people in restaurants. What if nobody was buying bitcoin when you landed at the airport? Would you wait for days until someone contacts you for a trade? Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: planfox on October 07, 2017, 10:46:02 AM It is wonderful that there is already an opportunity to travel with bitcoins, but not all countries can pay them.

Or another possibility is that you posted your selling price too low not to be ignored by someone to buy? Is this story legit? I mean if you just landed at an airport im assuming you need to get a taxi to a restaurant or somewhere right? Or did someone coincidentally want to buy bitcoin at an airport? Lol. You said you still have the $100 intact and i don't see how when you said you traded with people in restaurants. What if nobody was buying bitcoin when you landed at the airport? Would you wait for days until someone contacts you for a trade? 1- Please do read before you say stupid things. 2- Its all about research and planning, it was bold adventure, i had cash as backup and didn't use. 3- Please do read before you say stupid things.

This is the new revolution or the new era of cryptocurrency. We can go out now without any fiat money! Hooray for BTC> This is going to get a lot more common in the future, I think we are going to see a lot more of this kind of travels, I will not be surprised if a daring individual tried the challenge of traveling all around the world using bitcoin only, that will be an amazing journey that I will be very interested in reading if someone tried that.Title: Re: I did it!

Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!! I really think this is great. However, it's a little difficult to travel anywhere without cash, because not all countries and retailers honor bitcoin for payment. You're lucky you were able to find ways to use your bitcoin for travelling. This sounds like a great idea! I hope someday I can do this. Title: Re: I did it!

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: TheGodson on October 08, 2017, 10:16:46 PM We need more stories like this. A lot of posts on this forum are about holding bitcoins or trading to get more profit. This thread shows that Bitcoin being used in its intended purpose. Once people start to realize that Bitcoin will replace credit cards and other services, that is when Bitcoin will catch on and go mainstream.

The good thing about here was, the maximization of bitcoins truly support him in terms of answering his financial expenses. Almost some countries now are beginning to accept bitcoin as a medium of payment for their services. Your trip is a living example on how an individual can survive and sustain himself when using only bitcoins, and it also saved you from converting it to btc-fiat due to the acceptance of these retailers. Maybe this would encourage some retailers from other countries as well to start accepting bitcoin as payment in order to spread its influence more. Title: Re: I did it!

If I had already saved enough maybe I will also have the time to travel just like he did. I'm not sure of next year but as soon as I have the time and money I will make my dream come true and enjoy it.Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Hexah on October 09, 2017, 10:46:02 PM That was an awesome travel to have to, if only I have that amount of bitcoin I could really love to travel in some countries also. I agree that you choose localbitcoins.com they really have some good rate when it comes to local currency exchange. Right now I know even you just have bitcoins and a little amount of money in your pocket that is a lot that you can survive for a long journey.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: bitcoinvestor on October 09, 2017, 11:22:02 PM Congratulations and I'll take this as an inspiration, I'm planning to travel with my partner too next year and we both are planning to use Bitcoin and just a little amount of cash in case of emergency but still planning where to travel. We kind of made a plan to travel just somewhere in Asia and hopefully there'd be restaurants who would accept bitcoin as payment. I recomend Bali is great. Bali is the land of Bitcoin. The biggest exchanger of indonesian bitcoin is located in Bali bitcoin.co.id . There are many hotels and restaurants accept bitcoin. Even small stores of merchandise in Bali accept bitcoin payment. YOu can buy flight from your country with bitcoin.Title: Re: I did it!

Yeah same was my dream and I was recently planning about it but yeah this man just did it. And I want to say, things are not that difficult but you have to show some courage and things would be in your account. Like just traveling with bitcoin is not that impossible thing to do, and this proved us. I am so keen to do it, and I will surely do.Title: Re: I did it!

This is one of the things I like about bitcoin...it gets you to make new friends from all over the world and it helps us save some money in most instances and its good to hear that this journey you embarked on was cashless and a success.... hope this serves as a real eye opener for people that had their doubts in this technology.

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: smartbitcoininvestor on October 10, 2017, 07:12:22 AM That's an awesome idea. With the Internet, you have access to any service or vacation trip that can be booked. On LocalBitcoins you will be able to access any local Fiat currency on demand. The cool part is that you get to meet locals who also enjoy the idea of Bitcoin and the prospect of digital currency as you exchange currency within each country.
I would love to stack up Bitcoins and travel with it. I feel like it would be incredibly fun discovering new things to do and services you can book with BTC. Only thing you need now is an AirBnb that accepts Bitcoin. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: btcdepo on October 10, 2017, 07:23:08 AM I had some sort of similar trip with my bitcoins but your story sounds really cool. I had more cash with me in case I'd need it but I didn't use it anyway. local coin networks is very good way to open up communication where ever you are.

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Coin12 on October 10, 2017, 07:39:21 AM Your story can make us more believe that bitcoin will be more more accepted in every country.

Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet! It is nice that you go travel in different countries using your bitcoin. Its easy and hassle free right? But there are only few countries who accept bitcoin as a payment of any transactions.

It would be nice to get more information. Which cities in Egypt and Turkey did you visit and where did you meet those Localbitcoins dealers? I think situation may be very different in a 5-star hotel in the capital and in a small remote town. And it depends on the country. In the city where I live (about 400,000 people) there is not a single place where I can spend or exchange bitcoins. It is possible to exchange bitcoins to local currency online for a local, but it would be near impossible for a foreigner. Title: Re: I did it!

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: matchi2011 on October 11, 2017, 08:58:25 AM That's the kind of convenience btc usage can offer to people all over the world. I don't really get why some governments would deprive citizens of this convenience and would simply prefer to have control over crypto or no crypto at all. If you're thinking about your constituents, then you should let people be if they want to use bitcoins

This is really happening. The world is no more CASHLESS, is SHITLESS. Too strong power have been controlling the fee world for decades, earning too much money and not prevent any fraud or other such thing. With BTC now you have the power to change it - like you DID. We like community have the duty to spread its power to the world and make it use it more and more Title: Re: I did it!

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: nkarm1 on October 13, 2017, 08:30:25 AM Stories like this aren't new but still I'm being inspired by it. Bitcoin has never really failed someone who gambled for situations like this :D. And so far bitcoin is really having a show, and it has been proved that it can be somehow an alternative of fiat. Because of the decentralization of bitcoin, it is very ideal to be used as an alternative to ease traditional fees from middleman and some traditional fees from banking companies. So the future is bright not only for bitcoin but for all cryptocurrencies.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Mr.Stemafon on October 13, 2017, 08:34:58 AM Wow you can see that bitcoin is improving and even if you pay with it seems like nothing if you have like 10 bitcoins and someone takes a couple of thousand satoshi you won't even notice because it seems like nothing.

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: marcbitcoins on October 13, 2017, 08:53:28 AM My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet! Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more: 1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate! 2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305. 3- Is it save to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!! Bringing only bitcoin with you shows it is the most safest way in traveling because you might lost your paper money and credit cards in the streets from the bad guys thru stealing and trickster in which it might put you're life in danger. Avoiding credit card charging fees and interest are also a great factor and an excellent idea of not using them, you experiences just prove us that we could use bitcoin anytime and anywhere without hesitation. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Ehrhc on October 13, 2017, 04:18:35 PM Wow, I like this idea!! I wanna try this now. Could you please elaborate on your travels? How you bought the flight tickets? Food? What if you didn't find buyers in those countries? Did you book hotels in advance or on the spot? You don't need me to go in details, just you know it can be done, it was done with someone exactly like you! You sit down... plan and go! Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: South Park on October 13, 2017, 10:19:16 PM Guys here are asking how and shouldn't you hold btc forever! You lost the btc you spent! It is your money so you can do whatever you want with it and since you seem to have a good amount of money in altcoins and bitcoin then that is a luxury that you can afford, you must understand that most people in the forum do not have that much bitcoin and that is why they will say they are going to prefer to save that bitcoin instead of spending it.Ok...Calm down! First of all is btc to hold forever? Or to enjoy holding spending? Second I am an investors! I made couple of very good ICO investments, and now I am holding a very decent share at Litra Coin. YOU should buy into https://www.LITRA.site (https://www.LITRA.site) before you start crying! Third if anyone here can guarantee he will be a live in the next hour! Let me know! Fourth: The experience itself, worths every btc i spent! I have something unique and very exclusive to share! Not a lot of people can say I did that...And you should do the same! Yes, I AM promoting Litra coin to be invested in and you should INVEST if you understand the mass adoption! You can go and read my posts about BTC reaching $4500 and more this year!

Hope you enjoyed your trip! Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Marileno on October 14, 2017, 01:56:45 PM Great story for sure. It is experiences like these that need to be marketed in an organic way to the masses. Main stream needs to understand the material benefits that BTC offers to our everyday lives. It is the best counter to attacks on the concept by banks, government and Mr Dimon.
I have been travelling for the last 3 months and have used BTC where possible. Localbitcoins is a fantastic service and i have used it without a problem previously. More stories like this plz! Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: spring07 on October 14, 2017, 02:00:10 PM It is really awesome to know that someone did it.

When you say local bitcoins do you mean local people with bitcoin or a company called local bitcoin? Sorry for the dumb question! I just really am hoping to not have to keep exchanging money when going around India and Sri Lanka Thanks in advance bud Title: Re: I did it!

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: zoolz on October 14, 2017, 02:48:15 PM Interesting experiment however it would be cool to see someone do it without using something like localbitcoins and without converting to fiat at all.

I hope I can save up more bitcoins in the future for me to do what you just did. I've been dreaming to explore many countries because I always have this curiousity about different cultures. How one differs from other and how strong a culture in a country is. Right now I have Korea in mind because other they have a really strong culture based on what I've read and watched. And the Kpop buzz have gotten to me a little, not that much. I hope there's a way for me to use btc for my travel there without having to encash it for me to save up from money exchanges.

I hope might be earned atleast 2 btc if you just joined signature campaign itself you will be able to make that much amount. If the travelling with the bitcoin you will be able to exchange the bitcoin to that concern country fiat cash. Avoid USD and go with the bitcoin everywhere. Title: Re: I did it!

Perfectly replied we are saving bitcoin for future expenses and when you can travel using btc and experiencing this awesome journey is more worthy then what bitcoin value is. If you just save and save and suddenly one day you die then what is the use of savings of bitcoins you have done when you cannot enjoy when ever you want.

My debit card has zero fees for international withdrawals, I can't imagine one that has worse fees than the deviation localbitcoins has from actual bitcoin exchange rates.

Haha this is exactly what I thought - I get Mastercard standard rate on one, and Visa rate on the other. Never pay for transactions or withdrawals, always zero fees. If you're travelling and don't have a zero fee card then you're travelling wrong. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: khaled0111 on October 16, 2017, 12:03:16 PM That's another proof that Bitcoin can replace FIAT and we can leave just using it and the best part that it can be used everywhere without paying any taxes so it's a 100% win.
Next time try to travel and do not take any FIAT with you and tell us about your experience. Such stories are really inspiring and bring more trust to crypto world. I believe many members here will do the same when they travel without fear. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Flodemaga on October 17, 2017, 10:18:48 AM Thats a nice history, but i wouldnt use bitcoin for traveling unless i get some good steady of income that will let me get back those 2 bitcoins you spent. Sure its good to see a person being able to travel using bitcoin, and exchanging it into local currencie, but the fact is would be better if you were able to make those all without the need of exchange, but well im sure one day we will reach those patamar, even knowing that you could used a bitcoin debit card for those as well.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: joekelly500 on October 17, 2017, 10:23:46 AM I think that the use of bitcoins in traveling will bring great experience.

It's great and inspiring reading experiences like these because it makes us feel more secured in the use of bitcoins. And that the use of bitcoin in traveling is real. Title: Re: I did it!

Your example inspires me, and maybe I will also decide on such a bold move. For me it will be a new look at bitcoin, and in general the world.

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: ASHLIUSZ on October 22, 2017, 08:27:50 PM Users have described it as an proof for fiat getting replaced with bitcoin. I never believe that this is gonna happen in the near future or later. Traveling with bitcoin is simply a hard task, but the self interest easily makes the user find different such services found around for different needs.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: nskendrovic on October 22, 2017, 09:04:18 PM That is fantastic. There are a lot of travel companies that offer plane tickets and hotel rooms so there is half your battle. However, next time maybe you want to use cash and save that BTC.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: cryptolerant on October 22, 2017, 09:14:33 PM wow I have read a lot of inspiring stories from you guys. I am planning to make one trip to india with my bitcoins. I will be posting my adventure too.

You will have very hard time finding guys there to exchange with in cash! Maybe if you stick in NewDelhi, I did my research before planning my trip...My advice DON'T. But places like Malaysia, Thailand,...South Korea, China, Japan...Go a head. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: LordDisick on October 25, 2017, 06:22:37 AM With bitcoin it's very convenient to travel and I want to earn a lot of coins to be able to try to do it. It is only necessary to choose those countries in which it is not prohibited. Yes,same here I want to earn and save up more bitcoin because I also want to travel with my family soon. Probably Japan since its legal and they are accepting bitcoin there. The OPs story is an inspiration for many of us since its a prof that we can now travel anywhere without spending much in fiats as long as we have a lot of bitcoins. Title: Re: I did it!

Why have all that stress unless you were just trying to test something out?Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more: 1- I used Localbitcoins for cash!

Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) Just stay inside your hotel! Don't leave! Don't invite someone to your room! At the lobby. You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!! Both countries are safe, exchange rate to USD is good, and to Bitcoin is great! Do your own research...

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Dharnchuks on December 07, 2017, 09:07:22 PM You gave new idea to the bitcoin users so that they have no worries to travel across the world putting aside all the worries and all this is just because of blessing of bitcoin, I suggest that traveling companies must accept bitcoins as travel expenses so that they can also expand their business worldwide and this will be also a ease to the user.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Requim on December 07, 2017, 09:10:34 PM I really think that this is possible especially now because bitcoin price is too high. You can possibly stay in a high class hotel and travel anywhere you want for a month with just one bitcoin. It's really convenient and good to have bitcoin because you can easily do transactions and at the same time earn as bitcoin price increases.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: sanbashiyi on December 07, 2017, 09:13:45 PM You are lucky because the price fluctuates so badly. Who knows whether your 100 Dollars will turn into 300 Dollars or into 10 Dollars. Obviously it is never advisable to travel with Bitcoin alone and not use any form of FIAT currency. I wouldn't suggest anyone to ever do it. You are just risking your life and might get stranded if you do not find people who would accept bitcoin as a mode of payment.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: PeRo on December 07, 2017, 09:24:03 PM Thats really awesome! I wish I could do that some day, I don't have enough Bitcoins to do such a thing though. I could only imagine the excitement! I have a new idea on what to save Bitcoin for, such an experience has no price, I would not regret miney spent.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Tantalala on December 07, 2017, 09:47:20 PM It's great that you manage that. In my country are devices in stores and it's included that you can pay with bitcoin, but at the moment the system does not work in any store. I do not have bitcoin, considering that I'm at the beginning and I'm trying to win one, because buying it is harder considering how much it has grown in the past few months, but I know someone who has Bitcoin and has not managed to make Bitcoin transaction.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Jmesser80 on December 07, 2017, 09:57:45 PM I have heard from several people that they will only travel with bitcoin now. They travel to the middle east and and Europe frequently and said using bitcoin is much easier than trying to figure out which country uses which fiat, They said it makes traveling abroad much more fun not having to worry about carrying money on them and exchanging fiat everywhere they go. I myself do not travel much but if I ever decide to I'll be sure to bring my ledger with me, or get one of those BTC credit cards.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: SunJAB on December 07, 2017, 10:02:16 PM This is what I will do next time. Because bitcoin trading is a very popular trend nowadays around the world.

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: noodleasprin on January 13, 2018, 07:09:59 PM Yes, you can use Bitcoins to pay for your travels just like when you book online and pay with your credit cards. But, the good thing here is that it can still increase its value so you can have your pocket money as well.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: luxcoin on February 01, 2018, 10:17:07 PM Amazing indeed! :)
Let's hope more and more merchants start to accept BTC as gateway payment all over the world so borden will no longer exist between countries. Bitcoin let you use your own money wherever you want Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: freshm4ker on February 03, 2018, 07:24:16 PM For me this is a risky journey, I will get a bitcoin based debit card rather than trusting the local bitcoin when I am on the go.

The suggestions you share are very useful for people who like to travel. It seems to be more practical to carry and use BTC because we do not have to bother going to a money changer. Unfortunately my country's government does not support the use of BTC
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: putriliesma on May 09, 2018, 04:55:40 PM wow it's really cool, do not you have trouble when paying something with BTC? Then how do you find out which store or place can do with BTC.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: reality18 on May 09, 2018, 05:03:30 PM This is amazing. We need more of such inspiring adventure to speed up the patronage of Bitcoin and not stuffs that will spread FUD in people. I am also planning on traveling with 4BTC to Japan this Christmas. I heard they are really crypto enthusiasts.

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: khelan on May 09, 2018, 05:17:09 PM that's great.. you must write a post or block on your experiences so that awareness about acceptance on bitcoin will rise. you should make documentary film about your journey. of you have clips of experience then you can make it and publish
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Russlenat on May 09, 2018, 05:18:34 PM This is the journey of $100 worth of bitcoin for travel and it is cool, I hope soon that we can travel all tourist area in all countries with only using bitcoin, but for this time maybe bring an extra cash because not all country has a crypto exchange on their localities.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: ninjaeth on May 09, 2018, 05:19:06 PM Wow I would like to try this some time! However now, I think this must have been hard given that not everyone are familiar with Bitcoins. Which means that a lot of stores, especially in countries that do not accept yet totally Bitcoin, are not accepting Bitcoins as payments. Maybe in the future there will be the time that majority or all stores will be open and willing to accept Bitcoin payments.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Grasik on May 10, 2018, 07:54:18 PM Can you give some tips on saving money while traveling? Use different online services for traveling. I like AirBnb a lot for renting apartments for me and the service from https://gettransfer.com/en is really very good for taxi transfers. I think you will like using them too and they will save you some money. Good luck with it ;) Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: jak3 on May 10, 2018, 09:04:11 PM First of all, I did not like localbitcoin Much and it makes complete sense traders try to make a profit so they have their own prices and it's hard to get a cheap deal in there, but it seems you got one. For the second. I do not even like banks and their credit cards and I agree that they do charge a lot of tax but I do not expect them to charge more than local bitcoin. And on the last, it feels good that someone can enjoy by relying on Bitcoins without cash.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: MNTCorp on May 10, 2018, 09:21:30 PM I hear enough from inhabitants that it is not money, but the situations like this are proving that it's not true. As I can see, you cope with bitcoins without cash, that means a lot, if we globalize, more and more people will use it. But we can't do it now, because btc is speculated now very much and we need some regulations, because we don't want to buy coffee some day at price 5$ and the other day at 50$.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: simpleholmes on May 10, 2018, 09:31:41 PM as a travel passionate I admire your trip and hope that one day I will have the chance to make the same thing, it is not impossible, it seems fun as well as something to remember for the rest of your life.

I wish more places will be covered with cryptocurency and the number of establishments and industries that supports cryptocurrency will increase in the next years to come.

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Colt81 on May 10, 2018, 10:27:29 PM My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet! I am not that shock that you have possibly travelled with just $100 regular money in hand and the rest depends on the amount of Bitcoin you certainly have into your wallet because that was already possible nowadays since there are already many business establishments in different countries who have already accepted and legalized Bitcoin usage who accepts it as a term of payment for goods and services they have offered especially now that the price is totally rising and they better know that accepting it will be a great chance for them to earn larger amount once it hits up the high price during the pump. So practically speaking, it is really possible travelling into different places bringing just $100 in hand and all depends on the value you have into your virtual wallet but still depends on the place you wish to travel if it accepts Bitcoin or not.Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more: 1- I used Localbitcoins for cash!

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: mikki14 on May 10, 2018, 10:35:40 PM I hope I can also travel using bitcoin someday. The amount of money that I earned since I started trading is enough for me to travel. But I always exchange it into fiat before buying something or going anywhere. I still cannot go out without cash on hand and in bank (ATM). I'm a prudent person, I always make sure that I have enough cash for everything I need. I also have an advance plan to where will I spend my money. So travelling with bitcoin is like travelling with uncertain amount of money, it may rise or fall in just a matter of hours, even minutes. But I like that idea, it's also smart to have an extra pocket money in case of emergency.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: fattyforhire on May 10, 2018, 10:57:19 PM I kind of envy the author of this topic. He fulfilled my dream.

If it really happened then the spread of the btc is better than I thought.

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: bitbunnny on May 11, 2018, 11:13:39 AM You are the proof it's possible. Although it takes some more efforts and organization and to inform yourself well.
Personaly I'm a bit more relaxed and confortable, especialy when traveling and that is the reason why I use my Bitcoin through debit card. It's far more convenient because I don't have to think where is Bitcoin accepted or not and I can pay everything with my coins, including hotels and I don't need any other money or card. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Akupuniard on May 11, 2018, 11:22:57 AM It's great! You are lucky one by the way because you can easily beeing scammed, nowadays unfortunatly very hard to trust on people but it's just because of idiots.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Mersterious on May 11, 2018, 11:31:48 AM congrats! I think we should not worry travelling without fiat but only bitcoin because it is really accepted globally and consider as normal money
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: qiwoman2 on May 11, 2018, 11:39:52 AM It's very encouraging to see people spend their bitcoin and not need to use the cash. Like I myself don't make any real fiat money anyway because I don't have a job and I rely only on crypto earnings I get from a bit of trading etc and a few bounty jobs. I am wondering though with the whale manipulation going on if it is still table enough to survive in this Industry.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: alvinmtp on May 11, 2018, 11:40:54 AM Amazing story.
This will only prove to every disbeliever about the usefulness of bitcoin in the real world. It is not only a thing that can be used through internet and online shopping but can now truly be used almost as a real money. And i thank everyone responsible for its materialization. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Lisam023 on May 11, 2018, 12:53:50 PM I suppose that must have been very challenging sometimes :) congrats
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: nxivrxgs on May 11, 2018, 12:57:39 PM Yes, nothing is impossible. You are a very good person and a very optimistic person, although it is not a lot of money but it will be a good travel experience.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Rubble898zaitO on May 11, 2018, 04:01:24 PM Well I have read a lot of people saying that it is great to travel with your Bitcoins with you, as per them just like on the post, it is safer and more convinient. I believe that, but I personally haven't done it and to be honet I don't think if I will ever use mg Bitcoins as a payment regardless if its abroad or not, I just can't see my self using it as a payment, its value ios simple so big that I would rather use it as an asset in mg trading and investment and not as a mode of payment. That is just for me.

Same here, I always love to travel, been to a different places but never had attempted to use or spend my bitcoin because I always set aside money for my liesure and that I will never use any of my investments or capital for that. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: eydrea on May 11, 2018, 04:17:12 PM Wow man thats an awesome story. I wish someday i could travel also using bitcoin. Thanks for you, it might help bitcoin to gain more reputation. People like you that spreading good news about bitcoin is a huge help for us. The more the bitcoin gains popularity and reputation the longer bitcoin will stay.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: fritzwalter195 on May 11, 2018, 04:24:46 PM wow, we need more stories like this!
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Banulit on May 11, 2018, 04:39:12 PM That's better if all country bitcoin regulated I mean no need to bring cash if all the establishment in different country accepting bitcoin as payment. restaurant, transportation, hotels. I will wait for it to make it happen in my country.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: slackcryptoz on May 11, 2018, 04:45:26 PM The good news in his travel is the saving of an amount above $300 avoiding the transaction charges that's been levied upon each withdrawal done using the cards. What Op has done is big traveling with just $100 and rest in terms of bitcoin.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Crypdon on May 11, 2018, 04:47:44 PM I guess it also depends on the value of bitcoin while travelling. A pumped market will send you a longer way than regular bitcoin days ever could. Good to see that the infrastructure is there to support travellers though. BTC ATMs are going to be very convenient in future
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: seramania on May 11, 2018, 05:08:00 PM an interesting story, if until bitcoin is received in all places certainly will be more effective for payment because by bringing bitcoin and little money can go traveling and do not feel difficult. this becomes an interesting experience.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: aitrading on May 11, 2018, 05:28:19 PM It's so amazing story! You inspired me :) Wish u more cool travels in the future!
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: PLMovs on May 12, 2018, 12:26:53 PM What a cool and delightful story.. Glad I actually read it to the end.. This is the beauty of cryptocurrency. There are vast so many other coins that can use as payment in their one unique ways. I believe crypto is the future.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: DogmaF10 on May 12, 2018, 12:57:10 PM That would be so inspiring, but i dont think i have the courage to follow your way to traveling. im a conservative person and not willing to take any risk to get scammed by following your way. It is so much safer to use fiat money and credit cards i think
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: DAVETUN on May 12, 2018, 01:20:58 PM There is still some limitation to numbers of countries that accept BTC transaction, hopefully overtime the development will spread globally, then I can confidently use BTC for all my transaction when I travell
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: darsiderin on May 12, 2018, 06:09:57 PM wow, we need more stories like this! Soon such stories will be very many. In the next few years, bitcoin will consolidate its status as a full-fledged alternative currency. Everything is just beginning)))Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: lotfiuser on May 12, 2018, 06:13:03 PM good job doing it but it might not work in all country as algeria isnt allowed to hold bitcoin or buy/sell and there is no offers on local bitcoin so we trade it on facebook groupes

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: MrRiuss on May 12, 2018, 07:10:07 PM What a great journey. Saved $305 from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges is fantastic. Thanks for share your experience. But still confuse on how you found the way to doing that.

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Jerzzz on May 13, 2018, 01:21:33 PM Sounds really fun, man! The suggestions you share are very useful for people who like to travel. It seems to be more practical to carry and use BTC because we do not have to bother going to a money changer. Unfortunately my country's government does not support the use of BTC
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: lionel huang05 on May 13, 2018, 01:30:57 PM Amazing to see people beginning to live with bitcoin! The future of cryptocurrencies is quite bright
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: sammyp on May 13, 2018, 01:33:08 PM Exchange rates are very high over here in my country, you can’t always rely on the local exchanges available as they mostly run out of cash to pay or buy bitcoin from owners. Some other times the exchangers accumulate more bitcoin to an extent that they need to Cato buying and rather sell off before they buy again. These time last usually get irritating. I wished things were as smooth as they are at your end. Congrats on your practical use of bitcoin.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: sukoyomi on May 13, 2018, 01:48:12 PM My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet! Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more: 1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate! 2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305. 3- Is it safe to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) Just stay inside your hotel! Don't leave! Don't invite someone to your room! At the lobby. You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!! Both countries are safe, exchange rate to USD is good, and to Bitcoin is great! Do your own research... Nothing impossible, you just invest right, use the income to do something very unique! You don't live twice!

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: diego ramos on May 14, 2018, 05:41:11 AM Nice for you, I am so happy to hear that from a bitcoin user, meaning bitcoins has been accepted in the market already. so just as I suspected, bitcoin will take over in the market and be used in trade and business.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: boddy.dy on May 14, 2018, 05:45:05 AM Soon enough I will do also the same thing because traviling with bitcoin and only $100 is so awesome. This will also make you feel so proud and fulfilling that you are using or patronize bitcoin. Because bitcoin is not only gained in a easy way. With that this must be use wisely and in a proper way. This is the good thing with bitcoin because almost every where you can get money by just converting your bitcoin.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: AurumService on May 14, 2018, 08:53:34 AM For now I think that it`s a risky adventure to travel with only $100 and 3 Bitcoins. :) It should be mentioned that cash and creedit cards are accepted worldwide and e-currencies are not that widespread and suddenly you may find yourself get lost in the middle of nowhere. ;) To avoid such risks you`d better rely on traditional, fiat money for now. :)

Props on you because you did it purely on bitcoins and even retained the $100 with you. This is a prime example of the convenience bitcoin can bring in people. Title: Re: I did it!

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: MasterNodes.Cash on May 14, 2018, 10:33:09 AM I am not cashing out even 1 satoshi from my portfolio for at least the next few years. My logic is..why cash out at 10k when btc will probably be worth tens of thousands maybe even months from now. I am holding onto my btc till it hits at least 100k, then I may start cashing out little by little. It's not smart spending your btc now because it has the potential to be worth a lot lot more soon.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: haloobabaa on May 14, 2018, 10:34:23 AM wow I have read a lot of inspiring stories from you guys. I am planning to make one trip to india with my bitcoins. I will be posting my adventure too.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Rossy Akbar on May 14, 2018, 10:45:37 AM Awesome, I really wonder if I can do travelling with my assets on bitcoin, but I still collect it right now. But I think the problem is just maybe for the country who has banned bitcoin but they have really good destination, it's kinda hard decision tho. I hope someday that I can traveling to every single country.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: jhonnydeep87 on May 15, 2018, 01:54:50 AM I agree that you choose localbitcoins.com they really choose a good rate when it comes to local currency exchange. Right now I know you even have a bitcoin and a little money in your pocket that many can survive for long trips. 8)

But I think the problem is just maybe for the country who has banned bitcoin but they have really good destination, it's kinda hard decision tho. I hope someday that I can traveling to every single country. I think before we go to any country, you can withdraw your bitcoin first to your bank account so you can use the ATM of your bank to cash out and you can use that money to buy something while you are in that country. I think if we have much bitcoin, we can try this thing too and we can travel with bitcoin because we can withdraw our bitcoin in localbitcoin or it will better if we have a friend which could help us to withdraw the bitcoin for us. Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Mr. Perfect on May 16, 2018, 10:43:20 AM Stories like this aren't new but still I'm being inspired by it. Bitcoin has never really failed someone who gambled for situations like this Cheesy. And so far bitcoin is really having a show, and it has been proved that it can be somehow an alternative of fiat. Because of the decentralization of bitcoin, it is very ideal to be used as an alternative to ease traditional fees from middleman and some traditional fees from banking companies.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Anita4coin on May 16, 2018, 10:53:52 AM Stories like this inspire me to use bitcoin even more.

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: susuberuang on May 19, 2018, 09:08:24 PM surprisingly and this is one proof if bitcoin becomes one of the most reliable coins, with bitcoin you can use it for anything you want, but you should be careful when using bitcoin for traveling.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: vit05 on May 19, 2018, 09:14:15 PM With increasing numbers of ATMs, it will become increasingly common. Negotiating p2p will still probably be better for rates and prices, but ATM will be important to provide a guarantee and emergency facilities. Now, something that should already be increasingly common in tourist attractions is Bitcoin's own acceptance as a currency. Unfortunately it seems that we have stagnated and the number of businesses does not grow in the same proportion as before.
One simple thing is anywhere, in any situation ask: Do you accept Bitcoin? Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Veterock on May 28, 2018, 09:39:49 PM You've made a great trip! Glad you could do it using bitcoin! It's incredible!
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: miyong on May 28, 2018, 10:20:49 PM With bitcoin it's very convenient to travel and I want to earn a lot of coins to be able to try to do it. It is only necessary to choose those countries in which it is not prohibited. Part of my goal is to travel with the help of bitcoin. After studying i am hoping that i can do it someday. I am doing my best to achieve it and bitcoin is a big help so i can reach my goals. Title: Re: I did it!

Thanks for share your experience. But still confuse on how you found the way to doing that. Probably can not try it right now because I still do not have enough bitcoin to travel to some country with bitcoin. are you serious with 1.9 bitcoin? even I still have not one bitcoin intact. even i thought i would be hard to find a local bitcoin. You've spent your bitcoin in a great way by using it to travel to two countries. I think it's a good story and should be published to a crypto news website like cointelegraph.com so others can see how Bitcoin can really be used outside of the investment instrument. Perhaps others who will read this will travel the same and actually documenting and posting it on social media so that it can be seen by millions of other bitcoin fans. Title: Re: I did it!

Having 3 bitcoins in your wallet is quite huge amount and it could possibly support you in a couple of months I guess.

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: stayeduptolate on May 31, 2018, 12:47:56 PM My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet! Your story is quite good and inspiring too . It also gives mt the motivation to invest more and more into the bitcoin because in the the end it’s your saving that would help you in the future and I think there is no great way of saving other than bitcoin because once you started saving in the form of bitcoin then it’s val will also increase and its a kind of business also for u but I don’t understand why some countries and banks are so scared of bitcoin and othe crypto currencies.Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more: 1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate! 2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305. 3- Is it safe to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends :) Just stay inside your hotel! Don't leave! Don't invite someone to your room! At the lobby.

Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: Sumo on June 04, 2018, 08:36:30 PM You're a very brave guy. I would never dare such a journey. After all,it often happens that in a certain area there is no Internet or Bank cards are not accepted. Too risky, I like a quiet holiday.

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: mrtryonebiggums on June 05, 2018, 04:34:22 AM Savage well done dude! You are the epitome of everything I want to do in the next 5 years of my life. I want to travel and be free and not have a care in the world. Better yet if I could finance that by using some magic internet money that'd be great (you know what meme inserts here ;)).
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: AliMan on June 05, 2018, 04:38:08 AM You've made a great trip! Glad you could do it using bitcoin! It's incredible! That's a great experience and I'm so glad for you about that. You made a extraordinary thing which is a good idea for other. You started a thing which is good to eeveryone. That's an incredible achievement in your part and you just inspire us about doing the same thing. Thank you empowering us about that thing.Title: Re: I did it!

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: vnck25 on June 06, 2018, 07:42:05 AM A pretty good experiment. I think USA and Turkey are very well established in finance, education, security, etc. Because of that, you had a good experience in using Bitcoins. But definitely you will see that when travelling to Afraica or Asia, paying using cryptocurrencies would be difficult and also you might get scammed by people over there. Until Bitcoins and other Altcoins become mass adopted, it would be difficult to just leave on a trip thinking that "Oh, everything would be fine if I just take some Bitcoins." We are far from such a lifestyle!!
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: xaker74 on June 06, 2018, 07:44:52 AM Thanks to such people, bitcoin will flourish! This is what we really need, direct use in everyday life.

With bitcoin growth to date which is increasingly supported by global companies, the opportunity to travel around the world only by using bitcoin is getting wide open, so we do not need to carry cash and exchange it to dollars and all other currencies. And thanks for tips and suggestions at the end.
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: IndigoRed on June 06, 2018, 10:46:14 PM This just gave me an idea. Someone should produce a show documenting this. Right??? Imagine a show following a man travel the world and paying his way through bitcoin. Entertaining and educational for the masses, correct?
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: hammo on June 06, 2018, 11:13:43 PM amazing dude! but i think 1.9 btc is to much for travelling. you can travel spend very less with little travel tricks ;)
Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: campingSider on June 07, 2018, 04:31:06 PM I think with these experience and story, bitcoin will continue to become popular and in time be used by a lot other people not only in transacting and payment but also in other expenses like travelling.

Title: Re: I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only Post by: mdrakibul on June 07, 2018, 06:10:18 PM The good thing about here was, the maximization of bitcoins truly support him in terms of answering his financial expenses. Almost some countries now are beginning to accept bitcoin as a medium of payment for their services.My logic is..why cash out at 10k when btc will probably be worth tens of thousands maybe even months from now. I am holding onto my btc till it hits at least 100k, then I may start cashing out little by little.But, the good thing here is that it can still increase its value so you can have your pocket money as well.
