Yeah the credit card bans aren't going to stop true believers. They will just find a way to turn their credit into funds they can buy cryptos with by buying gold bullion or steam games or something. It might have protected Zaurg from his severe loving retardation though. By the time he figured out how to trade $3,000 worth of gold for $2,000 at CASH4GOLD places he would have gotten bored with the idea.

Spatial posted:isn't zuarg the divorce.gif guy? the original goon in the well? Yeah. The next step in the saga is that he has been lying for months to everyone that was nice enough to try and help him with his finances even after doing poo poo like this for years. Turns out instead of paying off debt while sticking to the strict budget he swore he was following he just bought over three thousand dollars of bitcoins on high interest rate credit cards and lied about it. Oh and he was posting about how hard his budget is and how he has to refuse to let his daughter have a $3 pizza lunch at school once a week even though teachers are calling him and telling him his daughter is upset she can't have pizza, which made the revelation that he dropped $3,000 on bitcoins the last straw for some people.

I was thinking it had more to do with banks not wanting to loan large amounts of money to people who may risk defaulting on their payments. On the same lines, do banks ever prevent customers from using credit at casinos or other gambling institutions? It'd feel a little strange to bring a credit card into a casino but I'm sure there's plenty of people who do it.

I never do cash advances, and any gambling I do I set an amount of cash ahead of time and bring that. It's usually like $5 because I'm a cheap gently caress but also really like card games.

Generally you have to get a cash advance to get cash from a credit card at a casino. It's expensive and involves immediate fees, not just interest charges. Cash advances are also one of the first benefits pulled if you have poor credit and they're closely monitored for fraud. I've read that some banks will be treating crypto purchases as cash advances (rather than just flat denying). I did a cash advance at a bachelor party 6 years ago because I didn't have my atm card. Pretty sure I paid $20 to withdraw $200.

Cash advances are also one of the first benefits pulled if you have poor credit and they're closely monitored for fraud. I had to do a cash advance before. It was $2 for every $20 borrowed, plus $3 flat fee, plus the interest was like 27% and started being charged immediately by the day, instead of the grace period you normally get. Before they passed some consumer protection law, credit card companies could also keep the high interest charges to be repaid last. So if you had $2000 on your card with $1700 at 6% interest, and the cash advance was $300 of it at 27%, any you paid toward repaying would be directed toward the low interest loans first. They made that illegal a few years ago though.

Burt Sexual posted:Why not use a debit card? What’s a cash advance? Didn't have a debit card or carry cash, I was one of those "credit cards are always superior because of cash-back" types. Then I got in an accident, and tow truck guy would ONLY take cash. Not debit, not credit, not check, only cash or no tow (at 1am). Cash Advance is borrowing straight cash against your credit card, like withdrawing cash from a credit card at an ATM.

cash advances are generally for poors, but are preferable to hitting a local atm or using ur debit card if u need cash at a shady casino or titty bar since Amex will protect you more than chase or boa I haven’t used a cash advance but I’ve seen reasons to if I didn’t load up on cash ahead of time and am not ruling out using at some point

https://www.theverge.com/2018/1/31/16954366/bitcoin-cryptocurrency-mining-asic-chips-samsung I'm shaking my head sternly. Samsung made $400m from selling ASICs. I find it bizarre that all these people think using their hardware and power to do literally pointless calculations is not a bad idea in the grander sense of things. The people making cryptos seem aware and there are alternatives to proof of work coming out, but the people consuming crypto are a different beast entirely. "I am going to buy 8 GPUs and put them in my closet" "It's going to make me 3x what I paid for them in a year" Yeah, sounds legit. Khorne fucked around with this message at 06:09 on Feb 5, 2018 |

The idea behind it for bitcoin was the value of it would be backed by the electricity cost+computation time. That idea has long since passed. I'm sure the other ideas were it would give people incentive to support the network and it would add a way to actually get the currency without a central distributor. Only one of those three tenets were successful at all for bitcoin. Khorne fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Feb 5, 2018 |
