Back in 2013, a friend and I were watching the prices rise and decided that at $200 a piece, Bitcoin looks like a good buy - weâve decided to âinvestâ a few thousand shekels into it. At the time it was difficult to acquire Bitcoin - you couldnât just get some with a credit card. There were various creative and tricky ways to obtain âdigital goldâ but most were either too complicated or took too long.
The easiest, most straightforward way was through âdealersâ - simply buying âcoins for cash.
Through a mutual acquittance weâve received contact details for a prime Bitcoin âdealerâ in our area. We were told that the guy is very private and wonât just sell to anybody. We had to be introduced and meet in a designated location for the transaction. Iâve gotta admit, this sounded really fishy. I couldnât help but see the parallels between our situations and a drug deal.
Still, weâve decided to risk it. We contacted the guy via email and quickly agreed on an amount, meeting time and location. So, my friend and I took out some cash, a laptop, and drove to the designated meeting location in order to carry out the exchange.
When we got there (it was a cafe), we had to wait for about 20 minutes until the guy showed up. We were sitting there, cash on hand, nervous for whatâs about to happen⊠Well, whaddaya know? The big bad âdealerâ we were nervous to meet was this 13 year old kid sitting on a Bitcoin stockpile that he mined a couple of years earlier when it was easy. Weâve ended up sharing a a drink, making the exchange and laughing at the absurdity of the situation.
That kid made some serious dough - I wonder what heâs up to todayâŠ
