Beer Garden in Pattaya accepting Bitcoins

Featured Replies

Saw this on a thread on Reddit:

Has anyone had a chance to pay for a few beers in Bitcoin?

Maybe that is why someone stole the equivalent USD 500,000 from a Canadian Bitcoin platform a couple of days ago. Just thirstylaugh.png

I thought anything to do with bitcoin was banned in Thailand? I thought I remembered reading that last year.

But also the CEO of bitcoin is now dead... supposedly not by foul play.... supposedly.... That currency has too much bad ju ju.... stay away!

"CEO of bitcoin" ... is there a facepalm smiley?

Maybe you should read up on it a bit, it's a decentralised currency,

It was a female CEO of a bit coin exchange who apparently commited suicide in Singapore

You dont know what you are talking about

there is no CEO of Bitcoin the thing you are reffering is a bitcoin exchange ceo who committed Suicide.

also Bitcoin was originally not allowed in Thailand but recently the thailand bitcoin exchange reopened for business after getting the clear from Goverment agencies.

Try to do some research before posting drivel.

$500+ is a bit expensive for a few beers, even in walking street.

i saw this just as i was coming back from pattaya.. i would have definitely gone there otherwise! next time :)

Bitcoin is no longer banned in Thailand.

Regarding the "CEO of Bitcoin" being dead, apparently quite a few people are confused: http://imgur.com/eV1vTlH

I assumed he was joking...

Does this establishment give receipts showing the amount paid in bitcoin?

American Autumn Ratke ceo of a bitcoin exchange indeed found dead on Feb28th in Singapore, and probably suicide. She was at 28 just a girl really, so it isn't funny, its sad and tragic, but bitcoin is a farcical story and I suspect its value is headed to zero, and as well as that it has created many victims along the way. Sad to see so many people taken in.

Load of shit started by Stickman who probably has his "fortune" tied up in cyberspace.....I can imagine him asking #44 at Tilac bar for a long time....payment by Bit Coin.....,

Let me think about this for a minute:

A currency that is mined out of thin air by people with powerful computers that get this magical currency for solving a complex mathematical problem. And these same people with all their tech know how can't protect this magical currency from hackers who have even more powerful computers. And no one knows who came up with this idea ?

Geez, at least with the great Tulip Mania, you at least got a flower out of the deal

At the risk of derailing the topic:

It's good to be skeptical of new technologies, and it's also good to be skeptical of the current system as well. Bitcoin is really no more "magical" than any other fiat currency.

Dollars/Pounds/any fiat currency can be printed out of thin air, and usually the "printing" is electronic, the only difference is that it doesn't take any work or special computation to do so - just the whim of the government. It is also worthwhile to note that the most powerful supercomputer in the world is the Bitcoin mining network, and it's sole purpose is to preserve the integrity of the public Bitcoin ledger.

Fiat currency can be stolen as well, sometimes by the folks who are supposed to be protecting it. Ask clients of Madoff or The Bank of Cyprus how that works. People who use the Argentine Peso could also probably tell you a thing or two about theft via inflation.

Do you know who invented paper money? If not, why do you use it? Who cares who comes up with an idea - if it is good, use it. Nazi scientists invented the jet engine - that doesn't stop me from flying on an Airbus jet plane.

maybe think about it a little longer, or at the least do some research before you post
