Dear Elwar

Thanks for your reply.

I live in Germany and am paid in bitcoins.
Awesome!

You have the advantage of living in Berlin because they have a Bitcoin sector where most of the shops take bitcoins.
Looking at bitcoinmaps I can imagine you refer to an specific area of Kreuzberg (https://[Suspicious link removed]/d1ciGQ). Am I wrong?

Unfortunately, localbitcoins dropped Germany from advertising.
Why this happened?

I know a guy that is getting 15% markup from one person. I didn't ask anything further about it. I get 9-10%.
Thanks for the advice, but for the moment I don't want to profit mainly because lack of time, but if there are not enough stores accepting BTC, I will start to trade them with your suggestions.

See my signature for a link to many of the services I use regularly.
Bitpools is not working for me now, I'll try again later.

If you can find a place to live via 9flats.com then you're well on your way.
My first months I'll be travelling inside the city thanks hospitality exchange networks, like CouchSurfing and BeWelcome. I will considered this advice when I decide to rent.

There is also this site https://www.all4btc.com/ based out of Berlin for buying things online and this http://about.bitwa.la/launch/ for paying bills online.
Thank you very much, I will check carefully this websites.

I hope you don't mind if I send you some messages in the next days, it will be awesome to be in touch with you. Danke. Prost!

Dear BitCoiners

It's really an honour to write you and ask for some advices. I will summarize my main idea as much as I can, and I hope with your replies we can start a debate, to explain more details about my vision, and with your help improve my project in the best possible way. I discovered BitCoins since 2012, but I never used them before. As many of you, I regret don't start using them at that time, but I invested enough time reading and researching about cryptocurrencies, and for me now is the time to begin.

I'm moving to Berlin in Germany to make a scientific research, leaving my stable job and I won't receive a salary, at least for the first months. Nevertheless, one of my goals is TO LIVE ONLY USING BITCOINS or cryptocurrencies in general. Of course this process will be gradually implemented, since I must plan and think about many different variables, and here is where I really need your expertise. Unfortunately, as far as I see on the web, there are very few commercial stores in Berlin which accept BitCoins, even if I focussed my atention just in some restaurants and bars, since for now I will need mainly food and some basic services.

I have enough faith that cryptocurrencies can help us to improve this terrible global economic system, and for this reason I don't see Bitcoin as and investment, but as an legitimate exchange tool. I mean, my intention is not to accumulate BitCoins, but using them to receive payment for my services and to pay for my basic needs. This vision is inserted into a personal global project, about an alternative way of living and consuming, and we can talk about this if you want.

Thank you very much in advance for your comments, suggestions, critics, contacts and help. Cheers!  Smiley
