    how do you cashout bitcoins

    asking for a friend

    Okay so you're gonna meet a guy in a parking garage, and he's going to have a bunch of Amazon Gift Cards

    And maybe a gun

    He might rob you

    But he might not

    Also the gift cards are loose in a grocery bag, and he will not let you check the balance on any of them.

    One of my first and favorite actual-play-style podcasts is having to go on hiatus due to financial strain. I figure it won't hurt to plug them here as I have before.

    On Ghostbusters Resurrection, they play a long campaign of the old West End Ghostbusters RPG produced by Doug Banks who GMs the game, then edits it with audio special-effects and music to create an immersive radio drama style podcast.

    Good jumping-on points would be the start of any of their 3 seasons or their 2 end-of-season bonus episodes:





    Give them a listen and maybe throw a few rubles in their Patreon so that they can afford to either hire Doug on full time or if you have any info on jobs in the central Orlando area maybe pass them along to him so he won't be so financially stressed. They'd appreciate it.
    Unfortunate news, Ghostbusters: Resurrection fans. Season 3 has to take and unscheduled mid-season break for circumstances beyond our control.
    Doug isn’t just the series Game Master, he also does all the post production and sound design for the series, and it’s super time consuming. The time has come where producing the show and paying the bills are at odds and now Doug is on the hunt for a better day job. New shows are still getting recorded, but all the post production will have to wait while he hunts for better income.
    Normally we’d hire on an editor to help, but the timing and cinematic quality of the show are entirely Doug’s baby and without him, the critical plot points, comedic timing, and overall tapestry of what you know and love as Ghostbusters: Resurrection might take a hit. The show will be back in action as soon as humanly possible and Doug will fill you in on a few more details in this short audio update.
    In the meantime, feel free to reach out to us on the forums, Facebook, or Twitter. You can contact Doug directly at ghostbusters@nerdyshow.com, and if you haven’t yet, please consider supporting the series via The Nerdy Show Network Patreon as we work towards our dream goal of hiring Doug for ourselves so nothing will impede Ghostbusters: Resurrection ever again.

    Alright I have a fucking fire safety PSA stuck in my head because of Teenagers With Attitude.
    "You think aerobics instructor's a stretch?" "Yeah, ah fuck."
    "It looks like she's waiting for her scene in Night Trap."
    Alright I'm going to watch this Power Rangers pitch video.
    WHY DOES IT SAY THEIR ZODIAC SIGNS
    That's pretty fuckin weird!
    "So Bulk and Skull think they're one person, is something I'd like to bring up. At this point they think they're a gestalt entity."
    "This is the plot I would write if I was trying to write a parody of a Power Rangers episode!"
    "See, as someone who didn't watch this episode, you just broke my heart." Well you're supposed to watch the episode!
    "And then fuckin' Bulk and Skull show up, in full-on firemen clothing, with a dalmatian, that I assume they adopted together"
    "Look Zack, they're shitty in this episode, but it's not their fault the cafeteria had burritos." god that line was bad
    "In fairness, how many times do they have to get attacked by putties before they just CANNOT allow that to become their day?"
    "She's turned into the Judge Dredd of fire safety."
    "I think a lot of Power Rangers people ended up on Digimon, because they did the dub for that, which makes sense why it's so bad." How dare you
    "I got a question: Is that horse evil?"
    "I just assume that if a horse is from the moon, it's a unicorn."
    I get kind of a 'this is some kind of obscure fetish that I can't understand' vibe from the idea of a brook horse for some reason.
    "'Arnold Schwarzenegger from Batman' immediately lets you know that I mean the Arnold Schwarzenegger portrayal of Mr. Freeze, and not, say, you know, the Batman: The Animated Series version, who would do nothing but cry about his dead wife at this monster."
    "I guess it depends on why she wants him to like, deconstruct the juice machine, because if there's like, actual-" "Well, she thinks the tropes of juice machines have become too overplayed, and she wants to examine like, what a juice machine means in the modern era." god damnit
    "It was just The Producers of juicers." This is about the juicero obviously.
    "Zack, can I talk to you, I think we need to have a discussion about whether Mitch, I'm sorry, whether Eric is ever going to be on the show again." god DAMN
    "The firefighters have to commit seppuku with a hose if they don't-" "Now describe how that works to me." "So, you shove the hose into your mouth, and you just keep pumping until you're dead."
    "If you've sent one in, and it hasn't been read yet, it's because-" "It's because Zack thinks you're dumb!"
    "The first bit is called 'OC or OG,' and I'm going to read to you the name of a Sonic the Hedgehog character, with a brief description, and you're going to tell me if it's a real character, or one that someone made up."
    "Based on the name, I was really hoping this was, guess which is an original creation, and guess which is an entree at the Olive Garden."
    "So here's the difference, Scourge the Hedgehog-" "Ugggggghhhhh!"
    "I wasn't paying enough attention because I was imagining myself putting my mouth on the end of a fire hose and turning it on"
    "Okay, Flip the Penguin-" "I'd rather not."
    Zack is going to tell us his thoughts, they're VERY random
    "See, you're affecting a voice right now as if I'M the asshole for thinking that you weren't making a joke, but you don't know anything, so"
    "Zack will read a bad one, and then say, see, I did this to show you what happens when you send in bad questions." "And then I'll make spitting noises into the microphone, to show you what I think about it."
    I haven't heard this horrible fucking PSA before, I don't think
    how is it so long

    The safest way to turn bitcoins into real money probably involves complicated laundering scandals and turning it into other digital assets (like MMO game currency) and then converting that into real cash. It's probably a several step process.

    Bitcoins into MMO currency into lego kits would be a good deal, because then you'd actually earn value with time and be able to cash out pretty easily, though lego is known to be used for laundering so maybe you'd get busted.

    Actually I guess it's less laundering and more just acquiring them illegally (fake credit cards, fake gift cards, falling off of the back of trucks, buying a kit opening it removing pieces and returning it missing pieces, etc) because of their high value, the way they appreciate value, and the way that they are basically impossible to track once they are on the secondary market.

    Most of the articles focus more on that. But I guess that would make it decent for laundering as well.

    but if we must discuss giant bomb's goty once a month, PUBG is in a position where it is likely a top 3 for most of the site, but is not anyone's individual number 1, which means its could wind up very high, or it could be continually sacrificed for politicking to get zelda ahead of horizon or nier ahead of mario
