Crazy lady on the bus

That’s basically me, yesterday, on a perfectly ordinary bus ride I must have made thousands of times. Which is why I wasn’t paying any attention to the road… until something caught my eye! Right there, that’s a Bitcoin sign! Oh, I know that Bitcoin exchange! I have an account with them!

Fortunately, I was with my son so I had someone to actually talk to, because, you know, people talking to themselves in public, that’s a sorry sight… However, I made a special point of speaking loud enough for people around us to hear about Bitcoin and someone being excited about Bitcoin!

Besides me being a bit crazy, there is a good reason to be excited. The picture is taken downtown Bucharest, in a place called Piata Romana, not far from the government building, and the fact that a crypto company just moved its office there means they’re planning on making good money. It might not seem much to many of you, but that’s an historical building on a major boulevard and the rent for that space must be pretty big.
Bitcoin Romania also operates a string of Bitcoin ATM in several cities.
Being a downtown area, there’s a lot of traffic, so tens of thousands of people will walk or drive past that building and they’ll see a Bitcoin exchange, right under their noses. Some might get curious and check out this cryptocurrency business. For others, it might work to dispel the general FUD surrounding crypto-trading. You know, all those news saying only terrorists and drug dealers use cryptos. Can’t be that bad if they have offices in the middle of the city, they sure don’t look like they have anything to hide!

Obviously, that was my mood yesterday, at a moment the markets were looking up, unlike today... At least the people who don’t know about cryptos don’t have to worry about that!
On the other hand, a day might come when you'd see a line in front of that building, people armed with QR codes on a small bit of paper or the cryptowallets on their phones, where they hold their imaginary money... then coming out stuffing real money in their pockets. Now that would be a complete mindfuck for the passers-by!
