noticed a 24/7 deli nearby had a bitcoin atm. this one looks like it can be used to both buy and sell - with/for cash. that is, when it's not broken like it was yesterday. no idea what the spread on their prices is.

the new guy on buttcoin.org decided to take it upon himself (???) to help a south korean that was scammed by moolah.io (???), and the guy was going to get killed by the south korean mafia (???)

but then maybe the south korean is a scammer (???)

not too sure it fits with the goals of the buttcoin foundation

also he somehow thinks he has leverage over this anonymous bitcoin thief by threatening to report him to the south korean embassy and he's outraged that the guy who stole everyone's bitcoins is reneging on his promise to return some of one guy's bitcoins like an honorable thief would. basically he's gone full bitcoiner and probably needs to be put down.

Buttcoin posted:

So, 48 hours later, they still haven’t repaid him in full. And now they’re suddenly saying he’s a con artist, again, without citing any sources.

If this guy is in trouble, then Moolah reneged on their debt. The tweet above is evidence that they were going to pay him back.

Ryan Kennedy, Alex Green, whatever your name is, I have one request: Tell me your evidence this guy is a scam artist. Because if he isn’t, the South Korean Embassy just got a bunch of documents on you that will be damaging to you, should he be found dead.

My Thanks to you all, bitcoin has changed my life (self.Bitcoin)

submitted 6 minutes ago by IndianaJill

Hi /r/bitcoin. There's no good way to introduce myself. I'm a 20 year-old woman, I’m between the cracks, I’m a slave, forced into whoring myself, a victim of what is usually called “human trafficing.” There's no way I can escape from this without harm coming to my family, I’m not here for pity. This is the life I'm stuck in, and I'm making the best of it, day by day. The last year, though has been much better than expected.

I began reading this reddit with interest in 2012, and in 2013 (first buy was at $43), began coordinating meets downtown with people selling local. (Nice guys, every one of them wanted to rescue me, really sweet (if any of you are reading this, thank you)) and I'd exchange a small portion of my night's cash for bitcoins.

I had one seller who began to meet me regularly, act like an ordinary John on until we got to the room, and then just educate me for the hour about bitcoin. These sessions are some of my happiest memories from the past 2 years. He even paid/tipped me for my time after teaching me! Some in cash, only a little in bitcoin: kept the management from growing suspicious. always still mostly taking home cash) I trusted him enough to hold my bitcoin for me, to keep any evidence of what I was doing off my phone. He was truly a good samaritan. In this way I managed to put about 10% of my earnings away every month. I don't have to tell you how smart and lucky I felt come December.

I sent 22 BTC home that month (around $750 exchange rate) to help pay off a portion of my parent's debt. If this was taken home as cash, almost 2/3 of it would have gone to management "expenses." Once I've finished covering their debt, I plan to save to purchase my freedom and be through with the business. This should be in about a year. I've recently begin to understand basic margin trading, and I suspect that, even with my extremely limited computer access, I could turn a profit on the bitcoin i already have by opening a 3:1 buy when I feel btc has dipped close to low.

I had some rare free time and II wanted to thank you, users of this subreddit, for helping educate me about bitcoin and, in turn, helping me to get my parent's life back on track as soon as possible. If I'm living a different life in a year, I'll have you all to thank. I bet this all sounds tragic, but it’s reality, and I'm doing much better than I ever imagined. I thought you would be happy to know how it has has positively affected my life & my parents.
