The Power Of Bitcoin: My First Bitcoin Transaction

in bitcoin •  7 years ago

I had just bought a pretty substantial amount of Bitcoin and Ethereum as an investment and like many others I wanted to store it in the safest way possible. I really wanted a Ledger Nano S, but wasn't willing to pay the $300-$400 for one (thats the current price on ebay for ones in stock). So I bought directly from the manufacturer in France. I placed the order, but when I tried to pay with my debit card the transaction was denied, and on top of that my bank froze my account "suspecting fraudulent activity." I called the bank telling them to let the transaction through, and of course they still didn't. I finally said screw it, and then proceeded to buy the cold storage drive with bitcoin itself. I was really surprised how fast and how easy it was to do so. Kind of ironic that the only way I could buy a cryptocurrency storage device was with cryptocurrency itself.
