Sometime around two weeks ago, I've decided to withdraw 200 dollars from Bitcoin Cash ATM. I thought it would be simple right? It was not because the closest Bitcoin Cash ATM was in College Park, MD. It was accessible via public transport, but the entire process of going there is time consuming: It took me using three Metrobuses to get to the location.
Yet I managed to make it, and I walked up the the entrance and there was the logo saying Buy and Sell Bitcoin here. I entered the gas station store and walked towards the ATM.
The ATM itself looks a lot more modern than the most of the ATMs I've used in my life. Primarily because of the larger screen. The screen itself is widescreen, but it goes from top to bottom rather than left to right for a much larger viewing space. This will also benefit people who have vision impairments.
You can see the process here:
The entire thing looks daunting because of the warning pages and the fact that you need a phone to get a confirmation number before starting. Those are unfortunately necessary because of the number of scams that profilited by people using Bitcoin Cash to cover their tracks.
After the first two hurdles, the actual withdrawal process was easy. All you needed to do is to indicate if you want Bitcoin Core or Bitcoin Cash (or in this case Litecoin). Then indicate if you want to buy or sell currency, determine how much you want.
When the QR picture comes up, you go to your wallet app and go to the scan option and scan the code in. After you scan the code in, you go to the confirmation page to see if you want to actually proceed with the transaction. Once that happens, the process of getting the money just takes seconds. The money comes in and you also get a receipt as well.
This is what’s left of my room.
My life is practically in boxes.
We also tried to rent out this basement apartment that you just saw there that I routinely visit on a weekly basis. Either no one is interested, or people were interested but they want to ghost. Eventually my parents trust issues came into play and I have to give up on craigslist. Rest of the roommate sites requires money to even post a listing. We do have family that would be interested in renting the room, but they either didn't got back to us or were not interested.
Any attempt to explain people my situation for the past few weeks still ends up me being ignored, blamed, and shamed, and me given unsolicited advice that cost money we don’t have. And I still have employers who are interested but pull out at the last minute before the phone interview, I had two employer who pulled that yesterday. I even had one potential IT contractor ghosted me as soon as I gave him my email address on craigslist.
This is what I’m going though through, despite a booming economy that everyone loves to harp over.
At this point, I'm past out of time. I should have my own place on the 15 of this month. My parents should not had to worry about being homeless on the 15th of this month. I am out of options. This is my only hope. I have no one that can help me or my family.
