Im a crypto fanatic going way back but the thought of standing there waiting for verification on a transaction like a coffee compared to just tapping your debit card or Google Pay is just ridiculous to me, as well as having no exact idea what gas/fees you're actually paying...
A lot of place in Europe accept Bitcoin for quite a while now. Switzerland, Belgium ATMS for example and a lot more places. I think one service for cards is growing rapidly, I can't remember where I read it, but I think it was Spectrocoin, and is expected to be 'completely normalised' (or words to that effect) within the next two years. There is so much going on with cryptocurrencies and just bitcoin alone that it is impossible to keep up with everything that is happening everywhere.
I presume this was an online transaction, and not an on-the-spot transaction?
DOT hit an ATH.
$AMP
If they ever manage to push adoption successfully
Hey lads, what exchange are you guys using to cash out back to your bank? I'm on binance and coinbase pro but leaning towards using coinbase as binance has stopped sepa transfers. Also wary about exchanges going down in december/january as we approach the top so planning on moving most of my coins over to the exchanges in the next few weeks.
I'm getting tired waiting for AMP to do anything
What is this cash out you speak of?
Some time....in the distant future, I'll retire to my beachfront decentraland Cabana. Upload the ould grey cells on a neuralink 10G, leave the flesh suit behind.
Crypto is meant to do things???
😭
Yeah - go up in price!
Naaah
Coinbase fees are bad man. €30 to buy €2K of BTC.
Anything better around?
Look at FTX
Switch to Coinbase pro. 2K of BTC would be ~€10.
Doesn't seem too bad to me
Is that buying via existing funds already on your exchange account? KuCoin charge 0.1%, so about €2 for the same trade
They usually use the lightning network or equivalent so the transaction is instant. Something like SOL doesn’t have to as it’s fast enough already.
Something like Solana would be far better suited to buying coffee. Quicker than VISA and minuscule fees.
I've been able to send euro from crypto.com to my revolut very easily
DOT is killing it atm.
Roll on November 11th and the parachain auctions.
Along with Dot, picked up some KSM and AR also.
I make my own coffee, I don't pay others to overcharge me for it.
At a rough guess, I'd say you do a blockchain transaction and send them some BTC. Many years ago, I bought some books with BTC. It probably wouldn't be good for my mental health to work out what they cost using the current price.
I have paid for a service using BTC for a few years now, first time was 2015. I have obviously moved around since then, I think first Belgacoin transaction was 2016. I worked out what the transactions all added up would have been worth toay, just for Belgacoin alone. Not any others. It was around €14k. IIRC.
Not as high as I expected, but still would have been nice.. :)
Fortunately for me, the amount I aquired and still have, handily exceeds the amount I spent.
Phew, I added it up and my expenditure only comes to €2,700 worth, so nothing like as sleep disturbing as I thought it would be.
Hitting ATHs in crypto while hitting ATLs in my stocks. How naive to think Amazon was a better bet than bitcoin last year...
Holy crap I really should sell and use it to get myself a house but I cant do it, this is crazy.
FOMO'd into Loopring, no regrets.
Broke even with Loopring back in August, lots of regrets :(
You sold up in August?
