Ads don't pay in Bitcoin

I wonder how he keeps his belongings safe when sleeping outdoors? If he tried that in my country I bet he would have nothing to keep his BTC on after first month.

A silly gimmick. 

Yeah cause if he was serious he'd be using Doge or Kitteh coins

One that used to be communist 23 years ago and where minimal monthly wage is $350. I heard of people being beaten to death over 50$ not to mention a laptop.

You can get mugged anywhere but if you go waving cash in a poor country chances grow really fast
Commies were like a plague every country under their rule now suffers poverty. Just look at the former eastern block.

I read about this awhile back. It's great to see that the homeless are finding a way to support themselves through crypto-currency. I've spoken with a couple of homeless people here in California and their number one gripe is to have to beg and pander to survive. It really takes a toll on one's well-being to have to beg everyday to survive, to have food to eat. I guess with the advent of bitcoin and other currencies like it at least the homeless have a viable outlet to get by. And it shows how ingenius these people can be while trying to survive.

Yes it helps real homeless but this idiot is just a wanna be hipster

Yes it helps real homeless but this idiot is just a wanna be hipster

Why the hate? You can't stand it that somebody is living his life the way he wants to live it? What's "hipster" about scavenging food from trashcans? 

It almost seems like "hipster" has become a derogatory term for anything that doesn't conform to society's norms. Which is incredibly ironic, considering hipsters are basically following a fashion trend.

Because he's being sympathetic, not empathetic. Huge difference.

Real homeless people take it as him mocking them

[bryant.coleman]

3-4 months ago there was a similar story. Some homeless people using Bitcoinget to make the money for their food. At that time BTC was going at $100 apiece.

A person who hold bitcoins today shall not remain homeless for a long time as people with bitcoins are going to be rich soon. By the way are you serious he keep his gadgets on the path or wherever he goes. I wonder why have thieve dared to rob him yet.

He's a "wannabe hipster" because you think homeless people think he is mocking them?

You are talking complete nonsense. He's just choosing to live his life in this way. Plenty of people are voluntarily homeless for a wide range of reasons.

But he doesn't want to live homeless, he's doing it for publicity
