Title: Going to the conference in Amsterdam by spending ONLY bitcoins? Is it doable?
Post by: CryptoPanda on March 30, 2014, 09:37:37 AM
Ok, that might be a fun experiment to do. I would like to research my options if I want to fly, sleep and probably eat by just using bitcoins.
Which sites/services I need?


p.s.
Is there a bitcoin coffee shop already there or just those restaurants and the bitcoin boulevard? What about the "sexual workers"?

This would be something you could write a blog about. 
I'm not sure if there is a sub forum here that you could continue to post updates about this. 
Interesting challenge though.  Where are you traveling from?
Peace

There are a couple of restaurants, but not sure of any coffeeshops yet. http://suzyseeds.com/ in Amsterdam accepts them though.

A safety net is OK. Just don't make it to comfortable to fall in it or you may choose it to often.

Did you already find a place to stay?
www.9flats.com lists some places in Amsterdam and it seems they're accepting Bitcoin.

You should try this, and let us know if it can be done.

So are you going to book the thing with only Bitcoins? And are there any coffee shops that accept BTC? I imagine there should be at least one by now.

If there is a new conference in Amsterdam I make sure that you can pay with BTC in a coffeeshop :).

Give details later :), first have to persuade the owner of the shop :)

They didnt last year, but this year we have potcoin and dopecoin, doing the rounds. Should be interesting to see what the adoption rate is.

I very much doubt they'll be accepted over there (or anywhere else for that matter). If they were going to accept any coins it would be Bitcoin.

What would the shops need, or what assurances do you think they would want, to adopt/accept Dopecoin?

They'd need assurances that people will use it and next to zero people would. It's completely redundant as a coin.
