New College Graduate

[AdaptQuickly]

My name is Noel Arteaga and I graduated from Illinois State University on Dec 14.  I have been involved in with bitcoin for a about a year now. I finally earned my first BTC by selling 28k Earthcoins for .05BTC!

I am currently applying for jobs in the financial sector. At the same time I am working on a variety of bitcoin related business  ventures that  hopefully one day allow me to work for myself and not an institution. 


My problem is that I am currently working off a broken iPhone 4. 

I would like to buy a desktop computer but with no job  at the moment it's pretty much impossible.  Currently I buy and sell stuff on Craigslist and eBay to pay for my food/rent.

What options do I have in regards to  buying a desktop with bitcoin?

The best way I see is to purchase an Amazon gift card from gyft and use that to purchase a computer.

Is there anyplace that donates or subsidizes desktop computers for internet entrepreneurs/ bitcoin enthusiast?

Apply for a credit card of $500 and buy a Chromebook, decent for you to do anything!

Lol I thought about that but incurring debt is not the best idea at the moment.

Don't get a credit card to run up bills on, this is the worst advice ever!

You are so stupid!

If he can't earn $500 per month then the degree is worthless. Second that's good way to build your credit score, and btw you can delay anything after a month with your $500.

I am so stupid yet I am 23 and live in a premier apartment. Credit Cards are stupid and you sir know nothing about a credit score, there are better ways to build it up than getting a credit card and running up a $500 laptops. Cause that $500 laptop will then cost you really $750 but you think cause it cost $500 it will never cost more than that. Banks have ingrained this into people's heads. That is the whole banking model for a credit card, charge $500 end up paying $750 otherwise they make no money on credit cards, just from merchants, and not every card is from a place that offers merchant services.

Also every degree is worthless, college is so broken in the United States it isn't even funny. My friend who has no degree would be making more than me right now, if I didn't discover bitcoins. Degrees aren't look upon as an achievement anymore but as a waste of time for people to party.

Get credit cards, but don't use them too much. Play them, instead of letting them play you.

Buy a laptop on craigslist. I just got a old dell for $100 bucks. Works perfect for what I bought it for wich isn't much more than reading ECM's of chevy vehicles.



I also agree that you shouldn't have wasted time and money on college. I am a high school dropout, but I make more than 75k a year on the books at 24. Just signed a lease on my own litecoin mining farm, 6 months paid in advance. Thank you bitcoin, and the college of google!

No credit needed.  How?  Where?  WHYYYY?  Just go to your school and use their computers until you have enough.  FRK is a great way to go.

Your ignorance shows because you're not in the States, you've never tasted the best country in the world. Just shut up and listen!

I live in NY/NJ and believe me this isn't the best country. You are ignorant because you think this is the best country.

If it's not the best, you can get out. No one will force you to stay. You can go back to your best country. And you're dead to me. BYE headless!

Just because I recognized this country isn't the best means I have to leave? WOW you are full of extremes. If you believe this country is the best then you are delusional. This doesn't mean it is the worst or anything. I enjoy this country, I pay my taxes which are very high so you can thank me next time you are on line for welfare.

Lol of course I can earn 500 a month. In currently interviewing for jobs an the process takes a month or two.  I'm trying to expand my stake in bitcoin sooner than later.  Thanks for the advice
