Top 3 Most Interesting Bitcoin Stories On Reddit

‘’I’m currently traveling through South America, where credit cards are rarely accepted. Also, I forgot my credit card in the ATM. So I called the ATM’s bank and they said it would take 5 days to get the card back, but I was already on my way to a different country. My bank said they could mail a new ATM card but that would also take 5+ days. So I found myself stuck with about $25 to last me for 5 days, maybe even more. Then I had the idea to get on Coinmap, and behold there’s a cafe that accepts BTC. I stopped in for lunch and the owner asked me if I wanted to sell any Bitcoin. He used a local exchange rate, which was worse than mine, so I got a fresh stack of cash to hold me over for a week.
‘’A good friend was “highly encouraged” to accept my bitcoin as payment of dinner debts sometime last year. He reluctantly went along with my request and subsequently forgot about his wallet and moved away. This weekend, I got to see him again as he came back to Vegas. While we were hanging out I asked him about them and he said his phone got toasted. So I whipped out my laptop and we grinded away at blockchain.info for a few minutes to recover his account and sync it to his new phone. Yea, 20 bitcoins recovered which was over $2000.
‘’After the dump from 19k to 11k, I went long at the bottom and kept adding to my position on the bounce to 12k 13k, 14k. Then, at the 16k, my position was a further 100 BTC in profit. Instead of closing then and having a total of 300 BTC, I increased leverage and increased my position size. This entire position was liquidated on the drop back to 12k because my entry had moved up so much. I lost 100 BTC paper profit and nearly 50 BTC margin. I was devastated, and down to 150 BTC total.”
