Bitcoin. The early days.
(I think) I found out about Bitcoin from watching The Keiser Report on RT. I managed to find a CEX and opened an account. As I was paid in CHF there was no real CHF -> BTC direct route and even if I did CHF -> USD, the cheaper currency converters wouldn't allow transfers to crypto exchanges "because unregulated". I managed to find a web site based in Belgium that let me send CHF in and BTC out and that is how I initially funded my first CEX account. Later, I remember one morning at about 02:00, I did a google search on my mobile phone for low cost CHF -> crypto routes. In those days, Google allowed you to use search operators (these days they just ignore them). Despite that it was on page 15 or so of the search results that I found Lykke, who did not charge any commission on currency conversions and their bank account was in Lichtenstein. I used Lykke mainly for cheap conversions and transfers, but along the way I bought some of their utility token and on a coffee break a colleague pointed out the token had gone up 14x. So I sold 2/3 of it and put 50% of that into a mining pool and got nearly wiped out, LOL. 8K in, 2K out or something like that. At one point I entertained the idea of buying CHF 50 per month of BTC, and I think I decided against it because at the time there was only Bitcoin Suisse, who, typically for a Swiss outfit, wanted an unearned 3% slice for converting my fiat into digital gold. I think "Penny wise, pound foolish" is the story of my financial life. -
