The Bitcoin ‘Dealer’

It was the year 2013, and Bitcoin was growing fast. It wasn’t as popular as it is today and two guys from Israel had a hard time finding ways to buy it. Wanting to invest in this new cryptocurrency, they decided to go old-school and find a Bitcoin dealer via the Internet.

This way they could buy Bitcoin for cash without any hustle. Through a mutual acquaintance, they found the most famous Bitcoin dealer in the neighborhood and contacted him. It was like a meeting from a movie!

The friends were meeting the dealer in person for the first time at an exact location (it turned out to be a cafe) with a laptop and a hefty amount of cash on them. When the Bitcoin dealer showed up - he turned out to be a 13-year-old teenager! The boy mined some Bitcoins years ago when it was much easier and was now doing business out of it. They all had a good laugh, made the exchange, and went their separate ways.
