Merhaba Türk Bitcoin kullanıcısı!
My name is Felix Weis, a 27 old programmer from Luxembourg. On January 12th
2015, in Berlin, I started an experiment: I will travel around the world for
365 days only using Bitcoin. I challenged myself not to use the old and broken
banking system:
- I will eat preferably in a restaurant, stay in a hostel that accepts bitcoin.
- I can try trading my bitcoins with locals for their hard earned national cash.
- I can not convert one fiat currency into another.
- I am absolutely not allowed to use my bank account, an ATM or a credit card.
In addition to the desire to make world trip, the whole is an experiment and I
want to find out for myself: What is possible with Bitcoin as a potential global
currency in 2015? What is the current state of Bitcoin only 6 years after its
launch in every country? Could we live without banks at some point in the future?
I'm now 12 weeks in and visited already a few countries including Czech Republic,
Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Greece. So far, it
what often more or less easy and there was at least one accepting Bitcoin place in
the cities that I have visited. Other times were more difficult and no one around
wanted to sell me food for Bitcoin. But it was a great experience so far and I met
many interesting people, saw amazing places and learned so much about the
wonderful world we live in. You can follow my trip on my blog:
http://blog.bitcoin-traveler.com/I recently landed in Istanbul and plan to stay here for a more couple days. After
that I will be crossing over the Bosphorus (hopefully with a ferry accepting Bitcoin
) and want to visit more turkish cities. Possible destinations include but are
not limited to Bursa, Izmir, Ankara, Antalya.
If you know people in your city who are interested in Bitcoin, startups developing
cool projects with Bitcoin, merchants accepting Bitcoin for exciting things please
write me. I always look for interview partners for my blog. We can also just meet up,
have a beer/coffee/tea and talk about this fascinating technology creating the
best form of money in human history.
Please get in touch,
Felix
