Has anyone ever seen...

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Has anyone ever seen...

Post by Artisan »

...a Bitcoin in real life? Or any other form of cryptocurrency?

Everyone (almost) is talking about Bitcoin and its roller coaster history.
How filthy rich one would be if bought decades ago at 0.000 something a piece and sold it at its peak of +20K.

What interests me the most who has actually physically handled one?

You know, roll the coin through your fingers, flip it to decide which team has the ball, buy a 0.50$ beer on Str. 51 at 5am or a pizza half hour later.

Myself, never saw one. So if you would like to kill my curiosity with a cat and you have handled one yourself respond with "miauw", if not a "woef/wraf" would suffice.

thx

Surely trolling - it is a virtual currency.

Banks create magical money through loans and interest, theyre just numbers on a screen, half that money doesnt even exist

ive not rolled bitcoin through my fingers but ive seen people receive actual money from bitcoins though, my mate in PP deals in bitcoins, some people transferred him some coinage, and he paid them in cash US $

Nice pic... Never physically seen a coin outside of pics though. If it starts getting produced, isnt it then a hard currency and fall under the same traps as other currencies?!?!

Not really, genuine question.

That, I agree upon.
