I guess it’s getting about time to consider getting into Bitcoin, now that it’s a friggen bajillion dollars and I’ve probably long since missed my chance to get in while the getting was good. A few days ago I noticed that a “Coinstar” machine at a local grocery store had the option to convert cash to Bitcoin, as well as the usual Amazon gift certificate approach, so in preparation for using that I went and started to sign up for the require “Coinme” account. I got as far as the part where it demanded that I send in a photo not only of my drivers license but also a current selfie, and my interest began to fade pretty drastically; some Googling to make sure that Coinme wasn’t a scam showed that a *lot* of people are really ticked off about the service. Very high fees, lots of requirements, difficulties in cashing out… meh, interest has dropped to zero.
So… anyone here have any Bitcoin stories that *aren’t* horror stories? Recommendations on who, what, where and most importantly how?
