Short story: I owe my girlfriend £300. I gave her a cheeky ultimatum yesterday: you can have £300 cash when I get paid, or 1 BTC, whatever the cost on 18th June. She was a bit undecided at first until I showed her a couple of charts, giving her an idea of how it could rally soon. I told her 1BTC would likely cost me an extra £50, and she said "I'll take the bitcoin, but when I want to cash it you must cash it and not try to persuade me to keep it." My monthly salary has literally just gone in the bank now, and a coin is currently £360.80. Do I wait for a drop in the morning (it's gone 1am and she's sleeping next to me) or buy, buy, buy in case of a price increase when we wake? I'm more excited about it than her, to be honest.  |

It looks like Bitcoin is about to make a leg up. But don't expect that BTC to treble in value by the end of the month or anything. Infact, be prepared to be whipsawed all over the shop. Where are you buying it? LocalBitcoin? |

She's going to sell it right after you give it to her for a 60 quid profit.

Haha, a gutter mind among our midst, Gingermod.  Yeah, I'll probably use localbitcoins and pay a little premium, but my wages are good for it this month. |

Why don't you just pay the bitch back? This isn't how you convince people to hop on our speculative train.

Charming, Gingermod, I suppose it'll get her interested and another early adopter.
She ain't desperate for the money. She has other savings.

Or you could just buy 1 BTC and spend chunks of 5-10 dollars to all your friends on social media. Get her some flowers man, bitches love flowers. |

It's not a fucking anniversary or declaration of love. I borrowed some off her when I was short last month.

That doesn't even make sense as a double entendre, Gingermod. Shame on you.
Right, I'll go and buy since it's been edging upwards recently and I accept no-one wants to convince me to gamble with her money.

my girlfriend bought a bitcoin, i told her to buy in pieces at certain target points to lower her in price in case she missed some moves. but if that reverse head and shoulders breaks thru any further you may not see these levels much more. but from a long term investment prospective, waiting til morning will likely not break you.

She specifically said she has no intention to HODL. This will not end well if the price starts to crash. (I am considering jumping on the "sell 50%" bandwagon myself.) |

Do yourself a favor OP, instead of sweating over buying a single coin, buy 10 instead. Give her one, and keep the other 9 for yourself (and keep it secret). And then hold. For at least a year. When bitcoin goes to the moon a year later, dump the girlfriend and spend it on hookers and blow. Bitcoin > girlfriends |

My what a lovely bunch of potty-mouthed misogynists we have here. Don't get out of Mom's basement very often guys? LOL I guess some guys just aren't very (or should I say don't often get) lucky with women. Hookers and blow? Nice fantasy for losers to dream of wasting money on that they don't have. Good job OP. Paycheck received, GF in bed, and looking to buy bitcoins. Life is good. |
