 Who knew we flew past the ATH!

This machine has a 20% markup on the current price of #bitcoin. 

Who actually buys this way? https://image.nostr.build/6b4990589795224e218c7cd35e167b56001116cd2524601f2c36d462f9960fb4.jpg  nostr:note1gmsfrmh9mejpudwlvpetmm6jxmjf6deeu6pk4q74203d4524axlqsx5jjn 
 I'm sure we can take a good guess but it's sad that they are being robbed like this. It's the newbies that got some fear in them.  If it gets them off zero though, it's worth it as long as they don't repeat it again. 
 Robbed is the right word! 
 Thought about trying these once just for fun but the markup is TOO wild. Might be a good “non-KYC” option for some depending on the requirements. 
 This was KYC! @Ian played a bit with it and stopped when it asked for his phone number and first and last name. 
 What a Fiat scam. 
 Yup. A little too on brand for Hagerstown, Maryland. Best known for outlet shopping 😅 
 16% + $1.5 fee is pretty much what we have over here. :-( 
 Over here is where? I hope you’re not buying bitcoin with these markups! 
 Over here in Prague.  
 Is it non kyc? 
 Nope! Can you believe it? What a scam. 
 lol there’s no point then just download an app and get it that way 
 Good lord 😵 
 Yep the one by me has the same makrup. I tested it once and the total was 19.5%. And its still KYC. It bugs me when I see people using it.  
 It feels so dirty to see Bitcoin used for evil in this way. 🥺
