I think that's the part why your story didn't make any sense to me. I am not questioning its truthfulness. Just, why?
Why even go thru the hassle of using bitcoins? You could just exchange it with the guy on the street for pesos. Not sure about ten years ago. Right now, you can even western union money to yourself at the blue rate. I am sure you can even just pay people in USD in many cases.
- noduerme 4y agoI'm not sure what the pay rate is now for Western Union, but the fees are high, and at the time I believe you only got the official rate in pesos. Moreover, I got a huge additional discount from my landlord for paying in actual USD as opposed to the same amount in blue rate pesos, because the pesos were hard to change and would be worth less the next month. I also ran a startup Bitcoin casino at the time, so I had access.
