I did it! Traveling with Bitcoin and $100 only

[fredemar12]

My journey started on Sep 21, from Boston to NYC, flight to Egypt then Turkey, back to Boston! Carrying $100 just in case and 3 bitcoins in my wallet!

Fuck If I will ever carry credit card, or cash any more:

1- I used Localbitcoins for cash! Search for best local currency rate!
2- How much I save from credit card fees and Fiat exchanges: $305.
3- Is it save to deal with Localbitcoins in person overseas? Yes, so amazing nice guys, you are making friends


You should try it! & $100 stayed with me! and I spent less than 1.9 btc in both countries!!!

It's really cool! Many would be afraid to do it. And the more such stories, the more desire to do so. This is more profitable and convenient.

[matchi2011]

That's the kind of convenience btc usage can offer to people all over the world. I don't really get why some governments would deprive citizens of this convenience and would simply prefer to have control over crypto or no crypto at all. If you're thinking about your constituents, then you should let people be if they want to use bitcoins

That means to confirm that you still need fiat in order for you to be able to survive when travelling especially to territories you are not quite familiar with. Bitcoin alone does not suffice for now. But I am very happy to hear that there are sites in which you can easily convert your bitcoin into the local fiat currency.

that is the power and functions of bitcoin. To make transaction easier and faster. Well bitcoin is a virtual money so we can use it in travel or in expenses. Since you mention the localbitcoin im gonna try that too.

True, not only he got to see all those beautiful places but because of bitcoin he even saved some money, not much mind you, but hey, your money is better if it stays in your pocket than if it goes to fill the pocket of an anonymous banker, besides you could use that money for other things like invest in altcoins and repeat the process all over gain.

[gustavroy]

the good point on that you keep the 305 dollar because dont using credit card.Thats amazing congrats you.everybody cant do that like this but spending bitcoin is has to be more easy.

[South Park]

good, you made it..
if I had 2 Bitcoin in the wallet, surely I will try what you do this.. 
and this has become an inspiration to me ..

While I like what the OP did, if I had 2 BTC I will keep them have you seen the price of bitcoin lately is going up and it has surpassed already the 5k barrier so while this is an inspiration unless you have 100 BTC stored you need to keep every single bitcoin so in the future you can make 10 travels like those with the same BTC.

[marjoree]

We know bitcoin is very accessible. I just envy you for taking time travelling and only uses Bitcoin and i can feel the coolness of it. Bitcoin really is changing the way we deal with everything

Guys here are asking how and shouldn't you hold btc forever! You lost the btc you spent!
Ok...Calm down!

First of all is btc to hold forever? Or to enjoy holding spending?

Second I am an investors! I made couple of very good ICO investments, and now I am holding a very decent share at Litra Coin.
YOU should buy into https://www.LITRA.site before you start crying!

Third if anyone here can guarantee he will be a live in the next hour! Let me know!

Fourth: The experience itself, worths every btc i spent! I have something unique and very exclusive to share! Not a lot of people can say I did that...And you should do the same!





Yes, I AM promoting Litra coin to be invested in and you should INVEST if you understand the mass adoption!
 You can go and read my posts about BTC reaching $4500 and more this year! ( When everyone was sayin no it will not!)

Always watch for the underdog moving.

Congrats for having the guts for this and for becoming a success!
I agree, there has to be a balance between the investment and the spent Bitcoin. I guess that many people here just hold with the hope that the small amounts earned will get a decent retirement fund someday.

Good luck with the future investments and maybe you teach us more about having success

[XIANNE25]

Time will come I can earn huge amount of bitcoin too and I do the same

[luxcoin]

Great !
This is really happening.
The world is no more CASHLESS, is SHITLESS.

Too strong power have been controlling the fee world for decades, earning too much money and not prevent any fraud or other such thing. With BTC now you have the power to change it - like you DID.

We like community have the duty to spread its power to the world and make it use it more and more

[denny27]

Glad to hear You can do that, when did I can doing it like as you that can traveling with Bitcoin that you have, it's awesome. Bitcoin indeed now was increasingly populary and very easy to access whenever and wherever, the role of bitcoin on today's life is increasingly visible and the advantages from bitcoin at now be more perceived by many peoples.

[sklogw]

Great work mate!

[wilhb81]

Woah, spent less than 2 BTC in two countries and saved $305 on the fiat exchange - you're a role model for those who want to travel the world with only Bitcoins.

This is how much bitcoin community/users trusts bitcoin, you have made a great example of trust.
I appreciate your mind that how you avoid the money eater fiat exchanges and credit cards fees, i also want to do it if i ever get a chance to travel to any other state.

[nkarm1]

Stories like this aren't new but still I'm being inspired by it. Bitcoin has never really failed someone who gambled for situations like this  . And so far bitcoin is really having a show, and it has been proved that it can be somehow an alternative of fiat. Because of the decentralization of bitcoin, it is very ideal to be used as an alternative to ease traditional fees from middleman and some traditional fees from banking companies. So the future is bright not only for bitcoin but for all cryptocurrencies.

[Mr.Stemafon]

Wow you can see that bitcoin is improving and even if you pay with it seems like nothing if you have like 10 bitcoins and someone takes a couple of thousand satoshi you won't even notice because it seems like nothing.

Bringing only bitcoin with you shows it is the most safest way in traveling because you might lost your paper money and credit cards in the streets from the bad guys thru stealing and trickster in which it might put you're life in danger. Avoiding credit card charging fees and interest are also a great factor and an excellent idea of not using them, you experiences just prove us that we could use bitcoin anytime and anywhere without hesitation.

[Ehrhc]

Wow, I like this idea!! I wanna try this now.

Could you please elaborate on your travels? How you bought the flight tickets? Food? What if you didn't find buyers in those countries? Did you book hotels in advance or on the spot?

You don't need me to go in details, just you know it can be done, it was done with someone exactly like you! You sit down... plan and go!

It is your money so you can do whatever you want with it and since you seem to have a good amount of money in altcoins and bitcoin then that is a luxury that you can afford, you must understand that most people in the forum do not have that much bitcoin and that is why they will say they are going to prefer to save that bitcoin instead of spending it.
