So, I intended to invest in Pillar (discussed in my last post).
Apparently, I need to get an ether wallet from myetherwallet.com but I need a place to convert cash to ethereum.
Coinsquare.io is where I was recommened... turns out I am limited to either a bank draft or a flexepin purchase.
Thankfully, according to flexepin's map, there are a bunch of stores in my city that sells them....
except, they've never heard of flexepin.
Three different, random stores in my city all listed as flexepin sellers and not one of them has even heard of flexepin.
