You can buy Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, Dash at.. Austrian Post Offices!

in bitcoin •  7 years ago 

Bitpanda is a system that allows people to buy vouchers for cryptocurrencies and they just started selling those in postal offices all over Austria.

The system is simple you take cash and buy a voucher for 50, 100 or 500 euro and redeem money on their website https://www.bitpanda.com/

Other than this..

just like CoinMama you can buy BTC there with CCs and even Paypal.

Obviously there is big fees on this services but they make it easy for non-techy people to adopt and get their first cryptos.

Hope one day we can see STEEM or SBD there!

nice post thanks for information if possible for you please check my post i wish the best for you and your family

Yip, there are major fees charged when buying crypto without using an exchange. I guess it it easier for a non-techie to purchase crypto this way but that is going to have to change if we ever want crypto to become mainstream...
Security with your private keys etc. will also need to become a lot more consumer friendly...
One day, just one day ;)

Nvm, I'll guess I'll buy it online then...lol

Definitely the best (and cheapest) way 😁

Risk free? Nothing is risk free!!

I will buy the coins on that site. I think they give best rates.

Hi @kingscrown that's a good news i really hope one day we will be able to do the same here in Thailand, but i believe it come slowly as we start to have some bitcoin ATM and it become more and more popular among the young. THX ^ and follow you

That's nice! I wish this was available in Belgium (or even Europe) to! Thanks for sharing! It's very nice they sell it in a post office, making it more accessible for the big masses!

Austria is in Eu and quiet close to Belgium. At least they told us so at school.

I am living in Austria and well... I am pretty sure we are in the EU ..
At least for now - hope there will be no Öxit haha

Haha, sorry, it is late, my brain is tired, I thought it was "Australia" :p my mistake! Cool!

I like your profile pic

If it's of any consolation, I was sure that this post was about Australia until I read your comments :P Haha

Nice thing! Especially for me, because I am from Austria.
But you have the possibility to buy BTC from ATMs even in Belgium.. you can check them out here: https://coinatmradar.com/

Thanks for this informative reply! ☺️

Amazing to see another step for further integration of crypto in the everyday conditions is being made. I see that crypto is being adopted in my Country too, slowly but steady. Cant wait to see what the future holds for us using crypto as an everiday source of income and sustainability.

I tried to use Coinmama to buy some nonverified amount and yet it still says NAH YOU GOT TO VERIFY. :'-(

That's good news, once you go crypto, you can't go back.
Well, more like you don't want to, but same difference.

I can only agree with that!

Wow that is a big change for Australia.

Wow. Thats seriously amazing!

This is news to me! That's awesome.

Now we are talking! Change is imminent - and whether BTC hardfork leaves market up or down temporarily - all worthy projects are going to rise!!!

Thank you for sharing! upvoted.

I can see this tech EXPLODE! This could for sure be one of the easy ways to get normal people into crypto. Also this would be a good way for stores, and vendors in your country to accept these also as payment! very good post!

Austria..

That's a big news. Way to go Austria, hope rest will follow. Countries which implement such infrastructure are helping their people as it's not only adopting the new technology but the community would benefit by investing for their better financial growth.

Austria does seem to support alternatives to fiat currencies - they have a very reputable mint which produces great gold and silver philharmonic coins - so it makes sense that you Austrians would embrace cryptocurrencies before others. Thanks @kingscrown

I wish we had this in Brazil....

interesting article, thanks for sharing

Awesome

Nice thing !!!!!!!!Great Information

This is really cool! Being able to buy crypto easy and secure is extremely important if we want more non-technical people to join, so this is a big step in the correct direction :) Hope to see this happen in more countries!

This is huge. Lately, I've taken a liking to Cryptopia, since it has really low minimums and a wide selection, but maybe soon I can go USPS for TerraCoin ?

And we all knew crypto would go 'postal' :)

thanks @kingscrown - as always, well written and informative.

Pretty cool. They need something like this in the states.

States are one of most unfriendly countries for cryptos...this is not going to happen any time soon IMO, but really cool to see how other countries adopting...

The Federal Reserve doesn't probably want to see the crypto do well in the states. It will stop their dominance over currency.

We can only hope that the US will follow if most other countries adapt for crypto in some way or another.

Another fantastic article from Kingscrown, thank you! From what I hear Bitpanda is a pretty cool. It accepts cash, credit, and of course, bamboo.

another step to new world

WHAT????? We need this in India toooo....

India is a perfect candidate for crypto imho!

Yes, indeed. The crypto market here in India is growing faster than any where else in the world.

Niceeee

That's a great post for Australians, and I glad that people down under can have access to that stuff. However, for people in America it is very hard to buy and trade/sell cryptos because it is hard to purchase cryptos with American money. I made this video to help Americans (and everyone).

tantas cosas por conocer wauuuu me encanta explorar esta nueva forma de generar dinero, gracias por compartir

Great news. Amazing how generally one country starts with something small and it becomes the norm. Hopefully other countries will follow. The challenge is to keep transaction fees low, which will separate cryptocurrency to already existing money transfer institutions.

Good news for my friends there. Now things are going to go well

thanks post

very nice.. lit!

I read " Australia " instead of " Austria " lol

I am from Austria, and trust me... this happens ll the time!

Haha, I do that all the time when someone is writing about Australia or Austria!

segwit2x hardfrok should run permanent solution

Thata a good idea

Nice stuff... will share with my friends!!!

Excellent, more and more are accepted the crypto currencies in different countries. This serves for other countries also to join and hopefully so.

i hope this will happen in india soon

One of the best news for crypto and Crypto , step by step and that is a huge one !

What do you think about #ETHEREUM and #bitcoin ?? Read What's going to happen with them ? https://steemit.com/ethereum/@sayyedraza/what-to-do-think-about-ethereum-and-bitcoin

very informative thanks

Please confirm you bought some. I've seen similar vouchers purchased at stores before and once arrived. The merchant selling the vouchers had no idea what I was talking about.

What makes this one sound so good, it will be at post offices.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

The post office!? and here I thought POLONIEX was slow...

Awesome news, huge step in the right direction!

I love bitcoin

That is pretty interesting...

Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Wow that's awesome, wish we had that where i'm at, cryto technology just keeps getting better and better

This is pretty awesome. Im hoping that the general public of Austria embrace this groundbreaking opportunity. I hope other countries then start to follow their lead.

Very good article. Good to see I'm not the only one who thinks like this. There's a lot of exchanges out there. I found that coinmarketcap.com gives quite a decent overview. Personally I always use: https://www.coincheckup.com They seem to give this complete indepth analysis of all cryptocoins. Sorted by team, product, company, advisors, previous investors, etc. On: https://www.coincheckup.com/coins/Ethereum#analysis To check Ethereum Investment analysis.

Great news man, It's really taking off in Australia and Japan. We are lagging way behind here in the UK.

Austria, mate.. Austria

Sorry, My bad. It's Still good news and now I can add Austria to the list.

BITCOIN (#1): A BRAND NEW, UNSTOPPABLE CURRENCY

Great news, I was thinking about this kind of service. Its gonna work really great as an easy way to have access to invest money. In my opinion when you make it easier for the consumer, more people are gonna get involved. This is a big step, looking forward to see this in more countries, this could make a big difference. thanks for sharing, upvoted, resteemed, and followed.

CERTO,PENSO PURE IO GRANDE SERVIZIO PER GLI AMANTI DELLA CRIPTOVALUTA

is this available for asin country, and how much is the fees for exchange?

Some countries are really moving with crypto..... nt mine

We have something similar in india, ethexindia.com and zebpay (for bitcoin)

Oh, that's really cool! So you can just buy BTC at the store or post office when money, and it gets added to your wallet? :)

we send rupees, and then after 24hrs, we can buy bitcoin, legally. however govt will now tax it.

Ah, that's pretty nice! Too bad it's taxed though :(

That's like wow... what an innovative postal service. Wonder if their central bank has anything to say. And bitpanda is kind a strange name for them.

That's some good news for crypto 👍🏼

That's really interesting and exciting as cryptocurrency gets more accepted in the mainstream. I'm sure that being offered at post office will definitely get those who are still clueless to cryptocurrency to at least check it out on the internet.

I like these ideas, but the fees are ridiculous. I thought the blockchain community was trying to get away from extortion through outrageous fees by the banks to use our money and instead it's becoming even more outrageous than the banks. Essentially we are being extorted through fees to enter the crypto world to have the freedom of owning money that we can transfer quickly and semi-anonymously. All the talk of corporate greed and all I can think of is the hypocrisy of *Animal Farm when I look at crypto the last few months. UET was trying to make a point and I think they proved it well. We need a Mr.Whymper Coin because crypto-currency and monetary freedom will become a folly just like the rebellion if we don't step up and stop the extortion through high fees in crypto.

That's really great you can do that with cryptocurrency @kingscrown I will follow you

Congrats folk of Austria !!

Very interesting! I hope this trend spreads.

Upvoted :)

This is a huge move in a great direction!

I bought 95% of my cryptocurrency on Bitpanda and so far I had no problems/downtimes or anything else.

The only thing you could "complain" about is the fee. On Bitpanda you pay more fees than on most of the platforms. But if you are a long term holder Bitpanda is a good platform for you.

wow

Thx for this post. I didn't know that. Really good seeing this iniatives coming to main stream.. It's just a matter of time untill everyone has some crypto

Kudos to the Austrian government. Thanks for sharing. Upvoted. :)

Very interesting.

Good new for altcoin! The price can rise by this news!

https://steemit.com/@jimucheson/followers Pls follow me and i will follow you back

Digitization ls fast gaining ground virtually in the most advanced country.what a welcome development! thanks for sharing.upvoted resteem and followed.you can do thesame.lets steem on!

Hi mate! can i make you interested in investig in my borrow application. I am planing to return in less than a year (if everything goes ok) with 29.54% interest, here is a link to my loan( its not afiliate link) https://www.bitbond.com/listings/47QC9DEE3Z

I hope they come to all post offices.
This is definitely a step in the right direction.

Wow what an age we live in this is exciting stuff! I can't imagine it lasting long but for the short term it seems like a great idea.

Hooray for Australia.

That is the biggest problem I believe, making crypto user friendly to the non-techy people.

That wave hasn't even started yet. I hope! That would mean massive profits in the future!

A big step forward for cryptos. I hope other countries will do the same in the near future.

I'm digging the progression.

Thats awesome I hope they start doing it in the U.K.

for you guys hehe
U5dsEZZuZBokEkEM4HYnhXm72wLmxqk.gif

thats good

I've used Bitpanda. It's very straightforward and simple. Based on my experience so far, I'd recommend it.

good post

Also an interesting aspect is that our post offices in Austria are partly state-owned. So it's also a bit like the state supporting bitcoin ;) which is surprising but good to see :)
