I have to say, it's quite fun to refresh every couple of minutes and downvote anyone who just gives their Bitcoin address without any reason...

And why not?

There is a certain element of... shenaniganery going on here, perhaps.

Giving away "money"? Users claiming "good and charitable works"? Neither side with real "evidence" or "proof"...

So everyone must simply be taken at their word.

I'm really, really amused by all of the people posting their wallet address in the Hacker News comments. How do you not understand that the submission links to a Reddit thread, and that that's where you're supposed to be posting your address?

The rules of the subreddit states that you shouldn't really be posting your wallet addresses on their threads.

Having said that, I think the OP's message inbox would have exploded by now.

I've only observed Bitcoin from a distance as I've never needed to send or receive money online and not really been able to invest in things. I didn't learn about Bitcoin until only ASIC mining was viable, but I've never had a GPU (yes, that cash-strapped) so it wouldn't have mattered anyway.

So, I'm curious. What's a decent, low-drama/no-fuss broker I should be few issues with? Reason is obvious. :P

I'm completely ignorant of Bitcoin features I might like; I'll primarily want to export to USD (in the US), and maybe AUD (in .au).

PSA PSA PSA

THIS IS A CROSSPOST FROM TO A REDDIT THREAD, REPLY THERE

With that out of the way: I strongly suspect that the reason this is happening is that the person in question thinks Bitcoin is about to tank.

So they're getting out of the market.

By giving it away? What.
