TL;DR I’ve been in country far away from home with no money left. My bank couldn't helped me at all. Fortunately there was Bitcoin. To say thank to the Bitcoin community I’m giving away free stickers.

My Bitcoin-StoryHow Bitcoins saved my ass.
Back in September 2013 I bought my first bitcoin. After weeks of studying the potential and power of Bitcoin I bought some more.
I liked the idea so much – I even printed some stickers…
Then, I got hired by an ad-agency for 6 months. So I didn't had much time to support or even use Bitcoins. I actually forgot my Bitcoins – until august 2014.
After 6 months of non-stop work I decided to take a break. I booked a flight to Indonesia. 5 weeks of paradise. But already on the day of arrival I noticed my credit card was not working there... My bank couldn't figure why– so I had $50 cash left. For 5 weeks.
After 2 days of trying to get money and no food – I decided to spent $20 for a train ticket to Bali. My card wasn’t working there either… On the train I met a guy named Wawan who gave me some most of his donuts and helped me to find a cheap place to stay. We drove through Kuta for about 2 hours. On the way I noticed a Store with a Bitcoin-sign.
In that moment I remembered my bitcoins…
Right after I found a cheap hostel – I went back to that place with the Bitcoin-sign. It looked like an office and called “Bitcoincenter” – “Cash your Bitcoin here”. I sold some of my Bitcoins for $800 – enough for the rest of my trip.
I know this isn't a very cool story of “How to travel on Bitcoin”, but I’ve been in country far away from home with no money left. My bank couldn't helped my at all. There was fortunately there was Bitcoin.
So this is why I’m giving away these stickers back from 2013. Why almost a year later? To be honest: I forgot about the stickers too. Found them last week.
PS: I hope you like the idea.
