So went down to the local bitcoin ATM to pick up a thousand in either litecoin or bitcoin. First the owner changed and now it only does BTC. Second their fucking buy price was $14,600 and sell price of $18,500. Fuck you does not begin to describe my thoughts on this matter :-)
Maybe it's time to go get a real exchange account tied to a real bank and passport and a sample of my nutter butter. For a US cit, what's the valid options these days?
Privacy isn't free, either provide your DNA sample or be inconvenienced. Is localbitcoin still a thing?

Gemini is solid, IMO. I like Kraken these days. The only 'bank' I deal with voluntarily.

There is I assume, some kind of world wide branch of Bitcoin Kiosk outside of the local Barnes and Noble Bookstore in the local indoor mall. They have always bought like $2k low and sold you 2k high BTC for years. I assume the 'ratio' is the same because the last time I looked the price was around $12.5k and they would buy for $8.5k and sell for $12.5k when I tried this back then. Bitcoin was ...sheesh....$10.5k...I then realized (and now) that these kiosks are simply for the 'novelty' of getting Bitcoin...like in dust amounts ...just so people could say they 'owned' some. No way, can they be getting legit money out of these things. Also, their verification sucked. I could NOT use them, because they require your cell phone number. I put in my working for years cell phone number, but because it was a transfer from my original home phone land line of 30+ years before I got my cell phone 10 years ago...they said..sorry that is a land line. Sheesh! Like I'm gonna haul my land line to the kiosk...anyway here is the ATM company that is this cluster. So I put in $15,617.66 and it says it will pay me 0.8731964 Bitcoin. Or the cost would be $13,627.38 BTC for a fee of $1,989.28 Fee! https://www.coincloudatm.com/ Looks like maybe yours is the same company maybe Coin Cloud ATM. Anyway, that is a waste of time on so many levels. Feel free to check out the above with your purchase request as well. Anwyay, I'd forgotten about this from 2 years ago or so....reminded me...may have even worse rates now than then on this current pump. Brad

Yes I have a modest dollar cost averaging plan going on at the moment. It also doubles as a rainy day fund for a large dip but we haven’t had one. Which is fine by me, upward consolidation is grand.

I should've known better than to chime in to that discussion. Politics is too divisive. I'll try to keep it to bitcoin as much as I can help it. Surely, you are not the ONLY one devolving into politics.. It's been a long time divergence practice here (you know as well as me), even though I would also prefer to stick to talking about bitcoin.. Sometimes, though, peeps just cannot help but to bring up the topic and other peeps cannot help but to respond when other members are presenting such topic of the day issues and some of those members even reasonably believe that there is some kind of connection with bitcoin... sometimes there is... I am thinking: "This too shall pass." In other words, we just seem to be going through a kind of moment in which a lot of people are thinking and talking about such red headed political topic... Hot topic, yes, and hopefully soon NOT to be so hot, amiNOTrite? On the other hand, probably there is going to be some other HOT/political topic in the near future.. cannot completely write it off, seems to me.

I'll admit I claimed my HEX. I didn't really know how it was going to work, but I was given 10% of what I "earned", then they locked 90% of them away for a year or something. Free money is free money though.

Sorry I brought it up... You must be in a lureable mood, infofront... I am pretty sure if I was a hot chick (maybe does not even need to be very hot), and I saw you pass by the park walking with your little kid. I said.. "hey infofront, I regularly see you walking with the kid in the park.. Get rid of the kid for a few hours, and meet me back here in two hours, and we will go have some 'funzies' ." (of course, such thingies would be said outside of the earshot of said kid) I would thereby see you back in the park a couple hours later sans kiddie.

I have been getting a lot of spam e-mails about that nonsense, recently... for some strange reason... Clearly someone knows your love of shitcoins and wants you to be up to date Oh? I thought that it was some kind of mass mailing (e-mailing, I mean).. I did not realize that it was ONLY me receiving such e-mails. By the way, most peeps in these here parts of the WO likely realize that I am NOT much of a shitcoiner at all... I will admit that I did claim my Bcash, though - completed most of it in late 2017... though I may have cashed out a few in 2018, too.... and I did dabble a bit in some shitcoins sporadically in my bitcoin career.. but I cannot recall my monkeying around with shitcoins to ever go 1% above my bitcoin value.. especially since about mid-2014 and thereafter, but I cannot recall doing much if anything with any of the shitcoins that I still own in recent years - I mean prior to about early 2018... I surely do not talk much about them, unless I am specifically asked... and even then, I might not say too much. I do recall getting an e-mail from one exchange about my Bgold that I had been able to split off of the fork in early 2018.. or something like that.... Like in mid-2019 or something like that, the exchange said that they would no longer going to support bgold.. so i did remove that bgold from such exchange because I would have otherwise lost them... I still do hold such bgold, even though they are surely NOT worth very much, currently.. and likely NOT going to appreciate in value much if any.. who knows? I suppose if there were a pump, I might have to figure out how to sell them? might be quite difficult.... Anyhow, my supposed love for shitcoins is surely a well kept secret that was not even known by me... go figure.

I used Paxos as a test and had no issues whatsoever and received my corn within hours about a year ago with no fees.

Bitcoin price is up 50% from the time we began the purchase of the Crypto Cruise Ship. As of 4:20PM GMT today, the MS Satoshi is now owned by Ocean Builders. The auction for the cabins is now open: https://oceanbuilders.com/auction-page/You can have a cabin on the Satoshi for less than 2 BTC. The official stamps for the ship have been made: You are a respected person with good reputation, please don't take my comment personally. But this cruise ship story sounds so unbelievable, it makes my scam detector go wild. anyway, great stuff. good luck! If Elwar is a scammer then I will have lost all faith in bitcointalk, you need to do some more research. I thought about grabbing one even though I got a buddy with a hotel I can goto anytime I want going up here. https://www.google.com/maps/place/San+Andrés/@12.5404561,-81.7392736,13z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x8f05a57a2812317f:0x39d7645f866b54c6!8m2!3d12.5450153!4d-81.7075787
