Over the years I spent most of this bitcoin. Cashing it to GBP so I could buy food etc.
The amount, overall I made on this investment overall was many times more than I would have ever got in a bank from a similar investment.

2. I believe in the technology. I think the idea behind it is solid and I like being able to store the bitcoin in my own wallet that I own the private keys to.

3. I like getting paid in bitcoin. For me, I wish more adult companies paid in bitcoin. It's just so quick and easy and hassle free.
I have recently been paid by Bongacash in Bitcoin. Conversely, Chaturbate also sent me a cheque around the same time. This is still on the fridge in my kitchen. I tried to take it to the bank but apparently they don't cash foreign checks anymore. I need to post it off, wait weeks for it to be processed and hope it doesn't get lost.

I have also recently had other issues with my bank.
For some reason I couldn't receive the OTP they said to your phone by SMS when you want to make a purchase or send money. It had been going on for a while until I had had enough and then spend 20 minutes jumping through hoops trying to speak to a real person at the bank. They were not helpful and told me to phone my cell phone provider.
They were not helpful so I ended up going into the bank.
I was there almost an hour and eventrually they just told me I needed to use the app.

So, yeah.
