One of the biggest challenge I face every now and then, is proving that I've enough funds.
For example, this week I had to renew some papers in Portugal and I need to prove that I have enough funds to live here...But, of course BTC is just Internet Magic money...
Also, to be able to rent a property was a big challenge. Most of the landlords prefer to see a good salary or a big bank account and I don't have any of them.
Venezuela is a VERY EXPENSIVE COUNTRY.
There are a few things that are really cheap as gasoline and electricity, but the rest is more expensive than Spain.
I still have family in Caracas, every time we talk, we compare prices...Having a coffee or eating in a restaurant is more expensive in Caracas than Spain. Also, going to fix the car in a mechanic (workshop) or the dentist...
Is it the "same" UTXO?
I think, every time you receive an incoming txt you get a new UTXO. And, every time you send a txt you "destroy or burn" an UTXO...
This video from years ago, where Felix explain in simple words what Bitcoin is, it is one of my favorites.
Felix worked in Xapo for some time.
El termino pequeño es complejo de definir...
Yo prefiero poner números. Para ahorros a largo plazo, que no llegan a los 200.000 SATS, YO los tendría en Lightning.
Cualquier UTXO de más de 200.000 SATS que quieras ahorrar para LARGO PLAZO, si, lo puedes pasar a Liana sin problema.
PERO, primero práctica en una red de prueba todo el proceso de funcionamiento de Liana. No pongas en juego SATS de verdad en una wallet que no entiendes como funciona.
Hi, do you know if its possible to sell digital items (Ebooks, pdfs, etc) on https://shopstr.store/marketplace?
I can only see the option to sell jpgs...
I'm looking for a way to sell a guide, I mean, once the payment is done, the buyer could download the file...
Thanks
No es una wallet para principiantes, es un poco más compleja.
Prueba todo en las redes de prueba antes de meter fondos reales. La semana que viene, publicaré la segunda parte del video.
Hello Anita, let me start by congratulating you for all the work you do on the ground.
My questions:
- why did you decide to focus your work on Africa and not in Latam or South America per example?
- In your opinion, what is the biggest advantage of BTC related to Human Rights?
Not all the ATM works for selling BTC, most of them are only for buying.
But, yes you can sell BTC without KYC on ATMs, I think the maximun amount is 1000 EUR.
Another option is contacting a BTC local Community, there is always people who want to buy BTC with cash. This web is a good tool to locate the communities.
IMO the best option for buying and selling P2P is the bot on Telegram, it works worldwide.
Here is a video in Spanish I did some time ago: https://youtu.be/AIvIdkQ93ts?si=j_cORbUXnXPx67Q-
Just follow the steps on your phone.
Some time ago, the same happened in Australia...I remember watching some videos about it, a client in a bank office saying that he will use HIS money on drugs or prostitutes...The face of the bank staff was priceless.
Great work!
Education is key.
I've meet venezuelans living in Spain and Portugal that they use Binance Pay to send money (USDT) to their parents, but they don't know about BTC...
Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge!
I was traveling from BCN to Porto. our flight was on time, but the situation in Oporto was more chaotic than BCN. No telephones, no water and no electricity.
The lines for the taxis were huge, UBER was out of service, most of the cars are electric and the only way to call are on the APP.
Our taxi driver told us, that some taxis were out of gas and the gas station were closed...
It was a odd experience seeing people buying paper maps and trying to using them while driving...without Google Maps, most of the tourist and some locals are lost...
We made to the house fine, we went to some groceries shop to buy some water and the only option was 0,5 lts bottle.
Here are some ideas:
- Organice a local BTC Meetup in your area. And add it here: https://2140meetups.com/comunidades/
- Check on https://btcmap.org/ for business BTC friendly in your area and support them.
- Orange pill a local business and add it to the btcmap web site.
- Create a Group on telegram for your local community.
You can post an order using this link: https://app.mostro.network/
When I did the video for my channel and the post for SN, it was a limit on the size of the order (around 20.000 SATS), not sure if this limit still on.
