RE: Where on Wednesday thirty two: Above the mountains - Photos and video
I love the main picture here, but each of the pictures are stunning in their own right.
I know that I’d prefer to be travelling around the world, meeting long time friends in person and having a great time.
I’ve thinking about how to make crypto, and activity on the block-chain more “real” for myself, based on what you said about Faith not seeing how it could affect your lifestyle.
Yesterday, for the first time ever, I went through the very simple process of withdrawing AU$3.40 from the exchange to my bank account. A small test amount in case anything went wrong.
There’s a 2pm cut off where it might take longer to process, but as I did it 12pm the money was there after midnight today.
Little things like this can cement the reality of what crypto can do. It’s easy to think of it in terms of “just numbers on a screen”, but when you write a blog post in cafe about the coffee and avocado on brown bread toast you’ve just eaten and the post gains enough upvotes to pay for the meal itself it becomes very real.
What may seem like a “side-hustle” could become your main hustle in the future, which would mean more time with your wife. That’s when it will become real to her.
I'd be pretty keen to hear about that bank transfer process. Are you going to the meet up next week?
Yes. Do you have a coinspot account?
If not, here's an affiliate link:

Full disclosure, they pay me $10 worth of Bitcoin if you use the link.
I think you can set up an account with a PayID (I went through long and difficult process of submitting passport and other ID stuff - which they kept rejecting for like 2 hours because the photo "wasn't quite right". Follow the instructions to the letter, etc. otherwise they get quite narky, but I would avoid this where possible.).
I had to put my camera on the fridge, use the self timer and holding up a piece of paper with their secret code phrase, making sure that my elbows were visible to ensure I hadn't photoshopped anything...
They WILL ring you to see if you're human and go through all of the legal spiel, etc.
But once it's set up, it's easier than what I had imagined. Don't use the POLi to deposit, because the minimum is like AU$50, use PayID instead (you can set this up on your bank's mobile app on your phone) because the minimum is like a dollar.
@holoz0r recently took his fiancee through the process and had it done in 15 minutes, so he might be able to find even better shortcuts to the process.
I have a Coinspot account already, saw that verification process and decided it was all too hard. I have used it to buy some BTC though and simply BPay money to my bank. It seems the passport process is required to send funds to my bank right? I'll investigate. Tax implications on funds are CGT related or is it just income Taxed...Maybe a question for my accountant. I assume is classed as income tax and also assume 50 cents in the dollar is the rate. I'll confirm that. You going next week?
Yes, I'll be there. I am not sure of the tax implications of it all. It could get rather messy really quickly. It was difficult process, but I think it's much easier now.
Is Bpay a faster transaction?
Yeah, I had to verify my bank account and only had a $200 deposit limit but they upped it to $2000 after a little while, I think across the board. Was quite simple. I did a post on it actually. I think I'll do the passport thing though, now I know you have and it seems safe. We'll talk on Thursday next week. Is it still at the Jade?
For now it is. Not sure about next month. See you then.
I'll do a post about it. Also, here's a little challenge for you:
"Can a post about a LEGO set pay for the LEGO set itself?"
Tag me in the post bro.
Umm, yeah a Lego post paying for the Lego itself...Good question. Probably, but I'm loathe to be steem-lego-bitcoin-pizza guy and so am unwilling to try it out just yet. Ask me when it hits $10! Lol.
