Title: want to buy some cash in Seoul, Korea
Post by: molecular on July 25, 2011, 07:12:59 AM
Hi,

I will be travelling to Korea for vacation in Mid-September. I'm looking to buy local currency for bitcoin. Buying local currency for bitcoin would be awesome for travellers.

Any korean bitcoiners?

cheers,
molecular

Your going to the wrong Korean. Everyone knows North Korea is the best Korea. Just look at their handsome and charming leader, he makes the whole world happy with his generosity.

I will sell you 2₩ for 1btc....wait...inflation.....4₩ for 1 bitco.....wait a moment, inflating some more. 40₩ for 1 ......50₩ 1000₩ 346705980456₩ for 1btc!

You get so much more in the north!

Yes, I heard he will be throwing bitcoins from airplanes soon. Will lurk along the border, trying to catch some.

It's no joke. I'll pay good money for post-2009 (revaluation) North Korean bills, esp. the ones with Kim-Il-Sung's picture on them.
Don't care how they were smuggled out or obtained, will accept even blood stained ones as long as they're genuine
So far I only found a few on Tor & those were snatched in an instant by somebody else

The old ones before 2009 are worthless except as souvenirs because they were embezzled in full lots from the central bank by employees and diplomats & sold overseas for pennies on the ₩ after revaluation (they were supposed to be burned)
no longer having fiat or real collector value and basically just being colorful toilet paper like the trillion dollar bills in Zimbabwe
